House Hunting

We started looking for a new house when our triplets were 6 months old. We knew we were quickly outgrowing our starter home and wanted more space. The house hunt took a long time - a combination of us being picky and the market being sort of flat. Finally, after at least 5 months of searching, we settled on a split-level built in 1970. We chose it for the square footage (~2700), the 3-car garage (even though it was detached), the large yard (~1 acre), and the nice established neighborhood with good schools. We knew the "bones" and the location were good, so we compromised on appearance. The house was definitely stuck in the 70s, with some decor from the 80s. Here are some pics of the house from before we moved in:

back - see the awesome screened porch, and open deck?!?

I am still searching for the interior pictures. They're on my hard drive somewhere...trust me when I say that we have quite a bit of mustard yellow and avocado green in our kitchen and baths...
