Who Lives Like This?

I forgot to mention that last Sunday the family stopped by an open house in a neighborhood just down the street from us.  The house is absolutely beautiful.  It's dropped in price twice now (still out of our price range) but really a beautiful home.  It's got 5,502 square feet of living space including 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths.  Let's take a look:

House has a great street view

The realtor mentioned that all the floors had

just been refinished.  They were gorgeous.

This kitchen was so beautiful.  Very spacious

and laid out perfectly

Loved the way it flowed into

the family room

It had this great eating area and then

another sitting area off to the side

Just beautiful.

Here's the sitting area I was talking about

Look at this fireplace area.  Gorgeous

This is the master bedroom.  Love the tray ceilings

and it was huge

Talk about a dream closet

Sir K didn't like this master bath.

I loved it.

The tub area looked out over the backyard

This was a Jack and Jill bathroom on

the other side of the house.  Perfect

for the kids

This is a bar area in the basement.  Love it.

One thing I wish our house had.  A walkout basement.

This one is perfect

Beautiful deck off the kitchen.  I do love my

backyard better but this was really nice.

The house was absolutely beautiful and at an asking price of $1,149,000 probably will go fast.   I definitely loved tons of the features this house possessions but our backyard area is way nicer and it's on a street that is probably busier than ours.  So, we will stay put (like there was any possibility).  I hope you enjoyed the tour.

While running errands last week, we stumbled across an open house in our area and well you know what that means.  We had to stop and take a peek.

This house is right down the street from my office.  It's in a great location (close to Tysons Corner and minutes from DC).  The only drawback that I can see is that it's a little TOO close to the Toll Road.  It backs right up to it.  The good news is there are trees that block the hideous traffic walls that shield you from the Toll Road traffic noise.  This house is on the market right now for $994,900.  It has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 1 partial bath and 3,880 square feet  of living space.  Let's take a look:

Definitely love the look of this house.  I might cut the trees down to

showcase the house more.  It's right at the end of a cul-de-sac

and the neighborhood has sidewalks too.  Love that!!!

Love the entry way.  So spacious and open

Kitchen is a good size.

Look at those floors

Love the view into the family room.

Love the hardwoods throughout

Love the tray ceiling in the dining room

Oh the openness.   Look at that fireplace and the windows

I love the look of tray ceilings.

No bling but definitely big and functional

The bedrooms were all very good size

Love the windows

Again with the nice sized rooms

Maybe a little updating is necessary or a

popping paint color

Look at the basement.  Love the flooring

I wonder if the big screen comes with the house

Look at this incredible backyard.  You can't even see the

traffic wall behind the trees

I love everything about this house and I didn't hear any noise or see the traffic walls because of the trees.  Bonus.   Hope you enjoyed the tour.

Some friends of ours moved out to Aldie, Virginia a few years ago and just love it there.  It's an unincorporated village (whatever that means) with quaint antique shops and restaurants.  Whenever we go for a visit, we fall in love with the area but it's just too far for the Toddlertown.  It's definitely a beautiful area though. 

Yesterday my girlfriend sent me a home for sale near her and I cannot deny it caught my eye.  It's a beautiful custom built home situated on 4+ acres and great news, it's reduced to only $1,299,999.  Let me make this abundantly clear - the ToddlerTown cannot afford this home.   It's a 5 bedroom, 2 car garage (with a separate 2 car carriage house).  From the pictures, they have spared no expense.  Let's take a look:

Look how nice it looks

from every angle

First thing you see when you open the

front door.  Very nice.

Love this kitchen area.  Love the details.

Look at that ceiling.

Isn't it gorgeous?

Viking and Subzero applicances -

to die for

I wish I had room in my house

for something like this.

Of course I love the fireplace

Such a good sized dining room

Love the windows and the ceiling

in this room

I have something like this in

our mudroom so I love

this area

So cozy

I wish I could have a bathroom

this big

Such a pretty girl's room

I love murals.  Very cute.

I wish we had a basement like this.

Good space

Is my house the only house on the planet that 

doesn't have a home movie theatre these days?

I am such a porch person

Love this space.

The home is filled with upgraded moldings, built-ins, and plantation shutters.  It has a sprinkler system, fully fenced yard and landscaped yard, nice patio/deck and of course a meandering creek.
