My House (june 9)
The house as previously mentioned is GORGEOUS! It has 3 floors, is gated all the way around the property and just overall nice. Now I was a little skeptical when we pulled into the neighborhood because some of the other homes were not quite as nice but ours is quite different. It has a remote controlled gate to access the driveway & home. Oh let me add I saw a frog hopping along the driveway when we got out of the car which added to my skepticism but I got over that quickly when I walked into the house. You walk into the bottom floor which has open space under the stairs for storage and to the left of the front door is a corridor which includes the washer/dryer, a guest bedroom w/ full bathroom and then a storage closet. The 2nd floor is where the living room, kitchen, office, dining room and sunroom are located. The kitchen is very large with plenty of counter space, cabinets and 2 chaise lounges by the window. An island sits in the middle of the floor for all those cooking types to prepare their meals lol. One whole wall is nothing but windows opening to the backyard. A walk-in pantry for even more storage space. I’m telling ya, this kitchen is huge! The office has another floor – ceiling window to the backyard with two large bookshelves for the readers of the family to house their collections. The dining/living rooms are also very big with a 8-seater leafed dining table, large china cabinet, sofa, chairs, etc. A full bathroom sits off the office also. Continuing up to the 3rd floor you find the bedrooms. Oh before I go into that, let me mention there is a nice-sized balcony located ½ way up the stairwell. Anyways, there are 3 bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom is very big – queen sized bed, sofa and chaise lounge, walk in closet that is big enough to be another bedroom, beautiful bathroom complete with a jacuzzi tub, glass door stand up shower, glass door toilet area, and two sinks. Another large balcony sits off the bedroom. Oh also, there’s these ceiling lights all around the room that are controlled by a dimmer to create a very nice atmosphere. The other two bedrooms are smaller but still a very nice size and both have their own bathrooms although of course not as elaborate as the master. Now I must admit, at first I was thinking I got here first I’m taking the biggest room, best bathroom, all the great stuff. But then I said nah, I don’t need all that so I moved my items into one of the other rooms and set up shop there letting Yolanda have the master bedroom – she better appreciate it too lol! And yall know me, I’m so high maintenance I had to make this place my own. So at first I was going to take the bed from the 3rd room and put it next to mine to make my own king sized bed because I haven’t slept on a twin bed since my dorm days but unfortunately I could not get the frame through the door…so I’m stuck with this. But what I did do…brought the dresser from the 3rd room into my room and also this mirror to go on top of my dresser and oh yeah, the TV oh yeah and this comfortable chair that was originally in the master bedroom. I figure, that room still has the sofa, bigger bed, bathroom and closet so I can have the lounge chair and TV. LOL…yall know me! So now my room is quite comfortable and me gusta mucha (I like it a lot). The closets are big and I have plenty of drawer space. Of course I was not able to pack as many clothes as I would have liked so I don’t need as much space as if this was my long-term home because then yall KNOW I would have been in that master bedroom spread out like WHAT?! So anyways, this house is very nice and when I have the capital or when I graduate and decide to rent/buy/build a house in my new city I would not mind having a place like this. The floors are tile throughout the house which requires cleanliness but that’s not an issue. All in all, the house has 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 balconies, great front & back yards and huge ceiling-floor windows throughout the house. I’m living in the lap of luxury :-)
