We’ve met with our realtor several times and all is in order for our house to be listed in just a couple of days. He asked me to write the description of our home, as of course nobody knows a home as well as its owners. It’s kind of scary to be the one writing it, though—it feels as though the fate of our family and our family’s family rests in these words.
(It’s always so dramatic with me.)
Anyway, as I finished the blurb and looked at the photographs we just got back from the indefatigable Rhonda Steed, I thought to myself, I should share this stuff with whoever might still be reading my poor neglected blog. Once upon a time some readers asked me for pictures of my house, and I never felt it looked good enough to share… And although it’s far from perfect or even remotely Pinterest-worthy, this house will never be in better shape than it is right now so I figure I might as well share and share alike. (All images except the exterior shot are by Rhonda Steed, link above.)
Of course, if you know anybody looking for a house in Mayberry, send them a link to this post please and thanks. : )
Storage abounds in this 1300 sq ft. Raymond bungalow! With three bedrooms upstairs and one down, this renovated home has plenty of room for a growing family.
Tons of upgrades in the last two years include:
- Engineered hardwood floors throughout, plus all new craftsman-style trim
- Remodelled kitchen—new countertops, backsplash, sink, lighting, plus…
- ALL NEW stainless steel appliances
- Remodelled spa-like 3-piece bathroom upstairs
- New light fixtures
- Brand new garage door and opener
- Fresh paint
- Brand new shower in basement bathroom
Upstairs enjoy a 2-piece ensuite in the master bedroom, plus peace of mind having the kids sleeping just down the hall. A brand new 3-piece main bathroom completes the stylish new interior. An open concept kitchen and dining room are great for entertaining, and French doors allow a customizable living room off the main entrance (perfect for meetings, lessons, or quiet time).
The 98% finished basement boasts a wood-burning stone fireplace, a large family room, oversized bedroom, newly renovated 3-piece bathroom, two great sized storage rooms and a fully shelved food room. With closets and cupboards everywhere, you’ll never run out of storage space!
Outside a large semi-fenced landscaped backyard opens onto an alley, with plenty of space to park RVs, boats, or trailers.
Located on a quiet street just around the corner from a new playground and only moments away from shopping and schools, this house is a growing family’s dream!

That’s it for the upstairs. Downstairs has not been renovated as much…I’m hoping DIY-ers will see this as a bit of a blank slate. Heaven knows I had grand visions for it myself, but there comes a point when enough is enough…at least for this house:
Not pictured: 3 different storage rooms and a spare bedroom that’s really not very interesting.
So now you’ve seen our house! Want to buy it??
