I<\/span>t was two months ago today that I saw a real estate listing on the ‘net that would change our lives forever. Two months later, I find myself the owner of that house, with a tiny bit of time on my hands waiting for the delivery of our new fridge, washer and dryer. And with my iPhone in hand, I took this little tour to share our joy (and kick-ass new house!) with you in the form of an iPhone house tour and virtual housewarming party! <\/p>\n

C’mon in!!<\/p>\n

Our new home has lovely curb appeal, don’t you think?<\/p>\n

The porch view from the front door:<\/p>\n

Through the double doors, and up a few steps and you’re in the living room.<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

Around the corner is the dining room, between the living room and the kitchen.<\/p>\n

The kitchen, as seen from the dining room (and just before they put our honkin’ big new fridge.)<\/p>\n

A quick aside: I spent most of the day Saturday and a good part of Sunday sanitizing those kitchen cupboards. I started out trying to simply scrub them clean, but there was the most awful mactac shelf paper that I simply could not get clean, so I started peeling. And peeling. And peeling. It was four layers deep in some places, and I had to laugh when I excavated this layer. I call it “The 1970s were good to this house!”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Isn’t it awesome? Yeah, so not staying. I peeled that up, too, and then scrubbed and sanded until my arms were numb, and then coated the whole shebang in a couple of thick layers of pristine white semigloss paint. Those cupboards are cleaner than they have been since the original owner now, I’m quite sure!<\/p>\n

And now, on with the tour! Here’s a vaguely blurry view of the master bedroom, with it’s own patio walkout to a private porch.<\/p>\n

The view from my bedroom. (Did I mention the lilac tree directly outside the window nearest my bed? June is going to smell delicious in this room!)<\/p>\n

And! The private porch!<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

Ensuite in need of a shower (file under renovation plans!)<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

One boy bedroom:<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

Another bedroom:<\/p>\n

Another bedroom:<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

And another bedroom!<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

(There’s a family room on the other side of the basement that looks a lot like this bedroom. Also not seen: laundry room with about $8K worth of new water softeners, filters and pumps; furnace and storage room; two more bathrooms; and, honkin’ big 2.5 car garage with 15 foot ceiling!)<\/p>\n

And, of course, the back yard:<\/p>\n

\"iPhone<\/a><\/p>\n

If you ask him, Tristan will tell you that we just spent the best part of $400K on a tree house that just happened to have a gorgeous house in its front yard for the rest of the family. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Pretty great, eh? (The house, not the resolution of the photos. Now I know, low-res iPhone pix are REALLY low resolution!)<\/p>\n
