Photos of the Abbotsford House

 We're into the home stretch of packing to leave, but I thought I would post the real estate pictures of the house. Please ignore the distortions that the photographer uses to make it look bigger and brighter. I do want to point out that we really didn't stage the house too much so it does/did look like this once we finished our renovations. 

Let's start with a video. 

And here is what it looked like through photos:

It is a raised ranch style house with the entrance half way between the levels. This is the view of the upper level after you climb the stairs and look to your left.

I miss our fish but we had to rehome them. Here is the view from the living room looking into the dining area.

Here is the opposite view from the previous one. The stairs are immediately behind the sofa.

Here is the view from in front of the fireplace. You can see the kitchen.

Here is the dining area with the French doors to the deck.

This is the view of the kitchen you get if you go from the top of the stairs and continue forward.

And here is the view looking from deep in the kitchen over the island and into the living room.

Here is the opposite view of the kitchen. This is pretty much as we bought the house with the only real change being replacing the ugly tiles with the vinyl planks.  

The main bedroom.

The ensuite bathroom, which has to be the smallest but nicest bathroom we have ever had. It's not much bigger that what you would find on a cruise ship, but it does have a fantastic shower with bench, much more storage that you would think, and heated flooring.

This is the shower, which we rebuilt completely. Originally, it had a fiberglass shell that led to a 30 inch by 30 inch shower. Getting rid of the shell and moving one wall over by 8 inches (so that it actually conforms to the blueprints!) doubled its size.

The guest bedroom.

The home office.

The main bathroom, where you would hardly notice the 8" it gave up to the ensuite bathroom.

The main room downstairs, which became my hobby room and COVID office.

Behind my hobby area and office was an extra area that we used as a spill-over bedroom.

The view of the deck after stepping out onto it from the dining area.

This is the view of the deck. To the very right are the French doors in the dining area that you use to get onto the deck. The raised area where the red umbrella is is where the pool used to be. We removed the pool because it was a nasty cheap one that had not been properly winterized.

The main seating area, which we used extensively over our three summers in the house. 

The house from the back across the back yard. The deck is massive but there's still plenty of yard. This picture is taken between the pear tree on the right and the plum "tree" on the left.

This is easily the best house we have ever owned and we're a bit sad to leave it much quicker than we had planned.
