Our 3rd Child is up For SALE

1721 S. Dewey Avenue
~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I have always been jumping for joy to get out of our previous homes.  This one, is hurting my heart to think about letting her go.   
The gleaming wood floors, new windows, spacious rooms, and giant back yard are what sold us in the first place.  There is a bonus addition that we dreamed of turning into a downstairs master suite.  We never
quite got there, but did get to the following
renovations:





 *Exterior and interior paint in historic preservation colors


*Pedestal sinks in bathrooms


*Totally remodeled kitchen with new stove alcove


*New back door and tile in mud room


*New lighting

*Built in cabinetry running the length of this oversized bonus room (perfect for a media room or a Master Suite)


This room has two oversized windows and two closets.

 *I won this argument:  Do we take out the utility closet and create a stove alcove area with a built in spice rack and task lighting or leave it a dingy closet?


So glad he eventually relented. 

 *My favorite thing here is the deep farmhouse sink, glass front cabinets, and how bright and spacious this kitchen is now

 *Not sure why I felt compelled to show off the newly painted laundry room.  I guess because I wish we would have done this long ago, in order to enjoy it more!






The Details:
*She was built in 1938 and is full of charm (arched entryways, spacious sunroom, single car attached garage). 
*2380 Square Foot
*Beautifully maintained
neighborhood (with great
people on ALL sides)
*Landscaped for the last four
years with annuals so that
little maintenance is required. 
I love sitting on the sun porch,
drinking coffee, and watching
the hosta's, lillies, and tulips
bloom.

As a gift to the new owners, we are including the dining room table which looks just like this one.  It was built to fit the dining area and should stay with our third child, so she won't forget us.
