House
Holy crap. This place is big and beautiful. We would have more room than we'd know what to do with (certainly more than our current furniture situation could handle. My only concern about the size of it is the heating and cooling bills we'd be faced with. I'll call Entergy tomorrow and see if I can get some rough numbers from the previous tenants. There are also a ton of windows (with nice views). This thing is full of natural lighting.



Living Room
Deciding which room is which hasn't been really been set, but if we take the room that I presume to be the living room, you'll see that it is massive, complete with a small space in the round area beneath the turret. Plenty of room (which is fine because it might have to house my armoire and shelving units).



Kitchen
Remarkably small considering the size of the rest of place. Doesn't currently have a stove/oven, but a gas unit is supposed to be installed soon.

The stove/oven will be on the left wall in this pic

Laundry
There are hookups in the kitchen. The closet that would hold them has space for a stackable unit; however, since we'll be working with the side-by-side model, we'll have to put the dryer outside of the closet, next to the counter. Which should work fine, though.

Bathroom
Remarkably, there is only one, but it's nice and looks new.



Bedroom (probably Lee's)
It's tiny. But it'll work. I briefly considered petitioning you to let me use the living room as my bedroom (giving you the master bedroom and the dining room to spread around in, with the sun-room between us), but then I wasn't sure what we'd use this space for. It has closets which I would need... anyway, that would end up being way too much space for me. I would probably need to spill over into part of the living room, but I think this'll work fine.



Bedroom (probably Mike's)
This is clearly the master bedroom. It's huge, has two closets (neither of which is huge). and connects directly to the sun-room. The sun-room has a lot of potential to be a "studio"; however, I don't know if the unit cools it. It was sufficiently hotter in there than the rest of the place. I could be mistaken, though. Never fear. If the sun-room ends up being too hot, then there's always the dining room for Mike Illustator, Inc.



And the sun-room...

Dining Room
It's probably the best option for the "studio" space. It's very large (bigger than my bedroom in fact) and connects directly to your room and the kitchen.



Back yard
Huge. I'm not sure if we have to share it with the other 2 sets of tenants that share the property, but it sure is nice.

Parking
There is off street parking, but it's a 200 foot driveway. We'd have to coordinate parking with the other tenants. There's always streetside parking as well (plus, the roads are really nice since Newman is across the street).

Misc.
Excellent. It should be noted that almost all of these photos belie the space: it's much bigger than it appears. And I didn't even get a photo of the vestibule downstairs (when you enter) or the hallway connecting all of the rooms (which is in an open space overlooking the staircase up from the front door). The only knock on this place is the cost (which isn't too bad, but is exacerbated by the fact that I'd be breaking lease for 2 months). We'd probably be out 700 a piece just get this place, but it might be worth it. I'll see what kind of juju I can work on the realtor.

***

Verdict
I like. I want. I just don't know if it's worth it.
