Our new house!

We.


Bought.

A.

HOUSE!!!!!!!



Isn't it pretty?!?












It seems as if we've looked at every house for sale in New Hampshire!  Over the past month we have looked at zillions of houses...  Every night we would search online, our Relator would take us out a few times a week for an "all-day-looking-at-houses" event, every Sunday we'd google open houses and drag the kids from house to house.  I'm SO HAPPY this part is all over!


AND....  I'm glad we held out until we found this house!  I think it's perfect.  I really like it.

It is on 2.5 acres... See the big field in the front yard?  I want a goat and chickens.  :)

It has a pond on the other side of the driveway ...not too close to the house, but still somewhere to catch frogs and fish and stick a paddleboat.

It's next to some conservation land (forest).

It has a huge heated garage, a big carport, and a shed...

It has a sun room and a screen walled room called a "three-seasons room"...

It has two living rooms, one for the kids and one for the grown ups to escape...

It has two fireplaces ...one is in the Master Bedroom which also has two walk in closets, a "dressing area", and a loft.

It has a fully finished attic that the kids are already arguing over.  It also has two other very big bedrooms.  Someone is sharing...  :)

It has a big kitchen with a huge eat at island .  OUUU...  and I just remembered!!!  It has a dumb-waiter to pull the groceries up from the garage!  :)

It has an actual mud room in the garage!

It has a fun doorbell that involves big long pipe looking things...

It has a dining room that needs a tiny wall removed, but I've accepted that the man I married will not be happy until he has successfully removed a wall from a house.  I'm a little scared, but he has several "home improvement" projects planned.  :)

It's a big house and I'm sure our family will fit in it just right!  :)

We move in June 4th!!

Lovely! I cannot wait to visit...well, as long as you don't wrangle me into doing some sort of home improvement project :-)

It is enourmous! Looks great! It is very easy to understand you are happy!!! Well done looking at so many houses!!
Is it close to schools? Is it close to where you live now? Will the children take a school bus?
Are there any neighbours?
Did the children think this was the best house ;) ?
Congratulations!

Very pretty. All the rooms look so gorgeous I find it difficult to pick one. You’re so lucky to have that huge front yard! With that much space, I am sure you and your kids can come up with fun ways to spend your weekends under the sun. Haha, welcome summer!

I love how excited you are that you bought a house! Your house is really beautiful. I love how much character it’s got both inside and outside. All that nature and greenery are going to be great for your health and for some quality bonding time with your family. Congratulations!
