house for sale!

As detailed in my previous post, we are moving. Now we have to sell our house. It's quite hard to say good bye to our family and friends here in Nebraska, and it's also tough to say good bye to such a fantastic home. We have put a lot of hard work into updating it and we love it.

Please call if you are interested: 308-529-2593. And click here for a collection of several pages of before and after photos.

Here it is: 2102 Avenue G. This updated four-level brick home built in 1970 by Al Fickenscher has three large family rooms, four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an attached two car garage with a square footage of 2784. The garage is 560 sq. ft.. There are two mature maple trees in the front yard, three pine trees, one to the south and two to the north, and one large, trimmed maple tree shading the back yard. The roof was re-shingled and gutters added in fall 2010. Air vents were added to the soffit at that time as well. There is a new steel front door and new storms windows and paint to all upstairs rooms. The garage door opener was installed new in spring 2010.

We completed this stone patio fall 2011. We added railings to the already completed deck spring 2010.

Here is the view of the large back lawn, maple tree and alley access. The tree was trimmed away from the house in the summer of 2010. The chain link fence was added in the fall of 2010. Our trampoline is over a garden area. There is a cement basketball court, brick shed and a fort over a sand box all parallel to the alley.

We trimmed both north pine trees summer 2010.

We are thankful we were given a riding lawn mower because the lot is very large: 90 ft x 154 ft or .31 acres. Also there are underground sprinklers.

The highest level of the house has three bedrooms and a bathroom. The hall has a new ceiling fan. Here is the master bedroom. New wall and ceiling paint, new light and new storm windows.

A second bedroom next to the master. New lighting, wall and ceiling paint and storm windows. The window shutters have new room darkening fabric in them.

Here is the third upstairs bedroom which is across the hall from the bathroom. New lighting, wall and ceiling paint and storm windows.

This is the upstairs bathroom. The Congoleum vinyl flooring was installed approximately six years ago. The white wall tile, new toilet and faucet, wall and ceiling paint, lighting, drawer pulls and new shower head were completed in spring 2010. A laundry shoot leads to the lowest level laundry room.

This is the main floor that contains the first family room, dining room and kitchen. All the updates were completed spring 2010. The stairs have new berber carpet. The large family room has new hardwood flooring and trim. New wall and ceiling paint. New recessed lighting with dimming switch and ceiling fan. New steel front door.

This is the view from the upstairs landing. The room leading off to the right is the dining room.

This is the view from the front door. The dining room and kitchen flooring is the same Congoleum flooring as the upstairs bathroom and it's very durable and in very good shape. The back door leads onto the back deck.

This is looking into the dining room from the kitchen. Both ceilings were textured and painted spring 2010. New wall paint was done at that time. The built in hutch was re-stained. Three hanging lights over the counter and new counter tops were also installed spring 2010.

The view of the kitchen from the dining room. New recessed lighting. Painted cabinets and new pulls. New tile back splash. New sink and faucet. All new appliances. The dining room light was moved and re-hung to be centered over the table.

This is the next level down with the second family room. New berber carpet, lighting and paint. The two windows look out on the patio and back yard.

This built-in shelving was remodeled to make room for a large flat screen and the cabinets, drawers and shelves were painted.

From this view you can see two doors. The left leads to the fourth bedroom and the right leads to the second bathroom.

Fourth bedroom. New paint, carpet and lighting. New window prior to our acquirement of the house.

This is the second bathroom. Just this winter the room was repainted, including the walls, ceiling and cabinets. A new toilet and faucet were installed spring 2010. There is a laundry shoot here as well.

This is the lowest level of the house with the third family room looking in from the stairs. It was our home school and play room. I painted the ceilings and walls summer 2011. We cleaned the carpets spring 2010.

Looking east. There is a door in the left corner that leads up to the garage. There are seven sturdy shelves.

Looking east to the front of the house.

Summer 2010 I painted the laundry room to match the rest - ceiling, cabinets and walls. New light. New water softener spring 2010. New utility sink summer 2011.

There is also a storage room with a lot of shelving. This is where the furnace is located.
