First of all, this is a new construction home, finished at the beginning of 2018. You will find many modern amenities and upgrades in kitchen, Nest thermostats that control each floor, smart TV's in the living room and family room, and of course, wifi. For the summer, weekly rentals are only available with check in and check out on Fridays.

Here's the breakdown of how the house is laid out. The first thing to know is the front of the house is not on a street. It looks out to the neighborhood. So when you arrive, you will be arriving on Whidbey Lane, which is the back of the house. There is a stoned parking pad and a small cement pad in front of the garage on the back of the house where two cars can fit in tandem. Plenty of additional parking is available through out our development. Our garage is small and for storage only.

When you enter the back door, you will walk in a small hallway and then the first set of rooms you will meet are the master bedroom with a king size bed and TV and then the first floor bath which has a bathtub with shower head.

You then walk into the living room, kitchen, and dining combination. This is the heart of the first floor. The living is set up to circulate conversation and lounging. The kitchen is fully stocked with plates, silverware, glassware, pots, pans, and a coffee station! The kitchen island seats 3 and underneath the island by the bar stools is a power strip, perfect for charging a phone or laptop. The dining nook is in the kitchen. The hand made dining table has built in seating for 6 people (8 if you squeeze!).

On the first floor as well, you have a back deck that is set up for dining and the front porch that is set up for lounging. From the front porch you can see the community pool and you look out at the neighborhood.

On the second floor, when you arrive at the top of the stairs, you will find two bedrooms and one full bathroom. One bedroom has a queen size bed with a mounted TV and the other bedroom has a queen size bed with a twin size day bed with mounted TV. Both of these bedrooms share a full bathroom with a shower (no tub here).

When you go to the lower level, this is one of our favorite spaces in the entire house. Here, you will find the family room. This is set up with a sectional sofa (that also has a queen, Tempurpedic pull out bed) that is set in front of our custom built wood wall (we did it ourselves with Jeff's dad leading the project!) with a mounted 65" smart TV. This is perfect for movies, naps, and watching HGTV! You will also find a pub heigh table that is perfect for eating or gaming (board games stored in the lower level bedroom closet) and a foosball table.

You will also find the laundry room on the lower level behind the custom built sliding barn door.

On the lower level, you will also find the bunk room. This room is perfect for kids (or adults who still think they are kids). With the playful nautical design, this room has a bunk bed that has 2 twin beds and then a twin size day bed with a pull out trundle bed underneath it. This room does not have a TV, but does have it's own bath with a tub that has a shower head. It's the largest bathroom in the house!

And there you have it! That is the layout of the house!
