The house was built in 2006 and lived in for about a year and a half. It was for sale for some time until it was foreclosed on and went to auction sometime last fall. It was bought by an investor who painted and put in new appliances. We bought it from the investor. So the house has not been lived in very long and is in like-new condition. It is in a neighborhood with all new houses, and it sits directly in front of city bike paths and the Legacy highway. (That is the only reason we were able to afford a 5 bedroom home in this area.)
This is the living room and family room fireplace directly off the kitchen
here is the kitchen and dining and more family room
Master bedroom is small and that is good for us because we need space for our kids.
We love the arch to the master bathroom and the separate tub and shower.
Here is the backyard. You can see a biker on the bike path directly behind the house.
The kitchen, family room and living room are all open together on the main floor. There is also a half bathroom/laundry room/ mudroom connecting the garage to the kitchen. The upstairs has all five bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and that one great little family room. We really couldn't have designed something better. In 2 to 3 years we are going to take out the carpeting in the downstairs and put in a good quality wood laminate. Then we will make the family room a formal dining room and move the computer into the kitchen. That way we will be able to have a huge table with lots of comfortable space for everyone. But we do think that the house is just perfect. We are loving all of the open space, the patio in the backyard, the bedrooms all together, and all of the great upgrades to the kitchen. Heavenly father has truly blessed us with a sufficiently big and beautiful home to raise our children in.

(from Emily) It looks wonderful! Congratulations. Your kids look great. I think it's going to be a big surprise when we meet 12-yr-old Ruth. :)
I love the photos -- your kitchen is beautiful! How nice to have a private, fenced backyard, even if there is a bike path back there. We have a family room on the same floor as our bedrooms and we love it for gathering each morning for scriptures and reading stories at night.
Congrats again on such a lovely place!
Yay!
Heavenly Father really does take care of us even when it seems like He isn't.
I agree with all the other comments. What a great home for you guys! Love all the rooms, the big family room, the fireplace and of course the beautiful kitchen and all the nice appliances. So happy for your and your family, and hope you get settled into your new neighborhood, school and ward quickly!
