Here's all the details:
It's in Haddon Hall subdivision here in Apex... just a few minutes away from our current home.
The different neighborhood means different schools for the kids. Preston and Hannah will attend Baucom Elementary and we'll transfer Haylee to Apex M.S., both on traditional calendars. I'm kinda glad for the change from year-round. There are the benefits of traveling throughout the year, but the summers are so short!
2759 sq. ft.
4 bedrooms
bonus room on 3rd floor
hardwoods throughout the downstairs
built in 1998
beautiful neighborhood, pool, park & tennis courts
We got a steal! $60K under tax appraisal!
I've attached a slide show of pictures I took with my cell phone, so they're not great. Also, consider these the "before" pics. The woman built the house around her two favorite colors: blue and gray! The shutters will get painted black. A nice harvest brown will visit the majority of the interior. Yes, we have a lot of painting and recarpeting to do. Also, the brass fixtures have to go as I'm into the browns, blacks, reds, etc. So JUST IGNORE HER DECORATING! Also, a chain saw will attack the huge bushes blocking the front door.
It's bitter-sweet... finally owning a home since moving to NC, but the permanency of owning a home means moving back to Texas becomes an even slimmer chance. We miss you all and would love to have a visit from you!

CONGRATS GUYS! It sound fabulous! Have fun decorating!
That is great! I am with you... our new find in Texas means I have been painting for the last two weeks, ripping down a tile surround on a fireplace and soon will be laying hard wood & tile floors! For down time I am watching HGTV for more inspiration! You will have SO much fun! Just remember to rest even if your walls are mustard yellow... and remember, "Tomorrow is another day..." CONGRATS!
Congratulations! How exciting!
Sniff..sniff....this really does mean you probably aren't coming back!
I am excited for ya'll..you've been waiting for this!!
Jill - I just painted bath fixtures that were "brass", rubbed oil bronze with a can of spray paint. I taped off around the bottom of the fixtures, sliding the tape under the edge and covered the surrounding areas first. Then it took about three very light coats. I also did the shower frames. Any light overspray came right off with either a magic easer or when that wouldn't cut it, a rag dampened with paint remover. I am only hoping for a year or two out of them. I don;t know if you will need a stop gap measure, but I was shocked it was so easy. I got the paint at Lowes.
