We're selling our house

So, our house is ready to be shown. We have absolutely loved living here and have so many fond memories in this place. But to a future buyer, that doesn't really matter. What a buyer may care about are the things that anyone could love about this place. Here are my favorite features of this house in no particular order.

1. Trees--Our neighborhood is filled with beautiful, mature trees. During the fall, it is so relaxing to sit in the living room and gaze out the bow window at the changing colors all around us. And during the summer, it's great to have our huge oak shading that same window.

2. Tri-level--We have absolutely loved having 3 levels in our home. Upstairs are bedrooms and baths only. It's easy to put children to bed upstairs and entertain guests on either of the lower levels. The separation of the three spaces has served us well.

3. Downstairs living area--We love being downstairs to watch a movie or football game, and the living area there is such a large space, it can serve many functions. Right now, we have it divided into a sitting/TV area and a creative/learning area for the kids complete with a table and chairs. (In the past we had a full sized pool table in the creative/learning area, and that was lots of fun too.)

4. Backyard--Our children have loved the spacious backyard. We constructed a level, cushioned surface for our large playset, and they have really enjoyed playing there. Even with the large playset, there is plenty of room for a garden, a hammock and lots of running around.

5. Updates--We have updated almost everything in this house. It's nice to have new floors, faucets, fans and fun colors on the walls.

6. Kitchen--The kitchen is a great size. I have baked homemade bread, made homemade pasta and even spent many days over the years cooking an entire month's worth of meals (for two families) in one day. All of these are pretty space-consuming tasks, and this kitchen was up to the challenge. There's lots of counter space and plenty of floor space too.

7. 3 bathrooms--Very handy for overnight guests and our 3 kids.

For a limited time, our home is For Sale By Owner. If you happen to know of anyone in our area who is in the market for a house, would you please pass along our info?

It's here and here.
