No place like home

We bought a house! The paperwork is all signed, and we are on track to have our own home. Hopefully everything will go well with the inspection, appraisal and loan. If so, we should be moving in January. I feel so grown-up. The house is in a great location. It's near my grandparents, and also close to Mark's work. Close enough that he can even bike to work, so we can put off getting a second car. There's a nice park and grocery store within easy walking distance. There's even a 100+ acre park nearby with a nice biking/running trail. Unfortunately, the church building that is right by it would not be the building we would attend. Ours would be a little farther, so no walking to church (there are no sidewalks where the church is.) But we are super excited. I can't decide what my favorite part about the house is: the deck, the gorgeous kitchen, or the jetted tub. Probably the kitchen. I really want a dishwasher.

Okay, details. It's a 2,300 sqft. multi-level home. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, a full bath (with the jetted tub), and a three-quarter master bath. You walk into the front room, with the kitchen and dining room on the same level. You can go up to the bedrooms or down to the living room. From the living room you can walk into the garage or onto the deck, which has a retractable awning. The back yard isn't particularly big, but it is fully fenced. The house sits on only 0.14 acres. From the living room, you can go down into the basement. The basement has another bedroom - probably a guest room or playroom - and three-quarter bath. There is a bonus room which they seemed to have used as a exercise room. There is also a laundry area and a huge crawl space for storage. Basically it's my dream house.
