Ali and I bought our first house! Built in 1910, it has plenty of charm. The floor plan on the main floor is a little odd, but Ali and I have done a careful look at that and decided that we will be happy to live there for some time as is, but we can also imagine how to improve things over time. It has a basement apartment with lots of light, which we are renting out to suppliment our income. The upper two stories are ours. On the main floor is 2 smallish bedrooms, a dining room, living room, full bath and kitchen. Upstairs is a master bedroom and bath, with a large walk-in closet, and (for now) a solarium. We will probably turn the solarium into an office/library. That won’t take much work, all we have to do is remove the hot-tub!

We love the house, but the best thing about it is probably the location. We are two blocks from a great, big park, close (but not too close) to a bus line, and very close to my work (UW), the bridge to the east side, and only a couple of miles from downtown. We also have great views of the mountains! We can see two volcanos from our house! We can’t wait for everyone to visit!

Updated! Added some “after” pictures of our kitchen, and some house warming pics.
