In the beginning

In late 2006, a few months before getting married, Doug and I decided that maybe we should stop renting and buy a house.  We looked around the area at some real gems... houses next to the airport, houses with strange basement sewage lift stations, houses redone after fires, houses in slightly sketch neighborhoods, etc.  While driving through the area to check out a different house, we passed a little place with a for sale sign and stopped to grab a flyer.  The owner was outside, painting the flower boxes.  He invited us in to see the place and we loved it.  A few months later, it was ours and we moved in.

It's small-- only 728 square feet, all on one level.  But really, how much space did two people and their dog really need?  728 square feet seemed good enough for us.Image
It was cute and had a great fenced yard.

Adorable little trees!

A fun little patio!

Image
A homey kitchen with adequate workspace!

Image
A dining room, sort of, if you used your imagination!

Image
A nice main bedroom!

Image
A guest room/office!

Image
Good natural light and closet space!

Next to the lake! 

We were in love.
