Our home and the yard

Here are pictures of the outside of the house and the yard. I am so excited because there is so much space for the kids to play, and to entertain here. I foresee a lot of parties at this house. With .55 acres, there will be plenty of room for many families and kids here.

The front of the house. Once you climb 2 flights of stairs, the entire house is on one level. No need to worry about grocery shopping and carting the groceries up. There is a dumbwaiter in the garage. How convenient!

A view from the front deck

Our back patio. There are 2 covered patios out back.

The first patio

Drew crossing the wooden bridge to get to the second level with a gazebo and open grass

The second level has 2 of these covered awnings (a great hide-out for the kids)


Haley near the rose garden on the side of the house


A covered trellis that opens to the third level of the backyard. It has a pool, with a deck and another grassy area to play

What a house hunt saga and what a great final result! Your house has such an incredible yard. Your kids are going to love it so much, that little hide-out is the best! I was really confused at first by your post below because it said "WA" in the title, but then at the bottom when you put your address it said "CA" so the confusion ended. Congrats on a great new place to call "home!"

Your backyard is like its own little park!! What fun the kids will have.
And your kitchen is gorgeous. Can't wait to see it in person.
