Fort Sussex: before pix

New state, new home - relocation. 

Some "before" shots, taken just after closing on our new home (early 2012). There is SO much to do and such huge potential spread out across the hill. The photos below were taken by me after closing:

BACKYARD: WEST

BACKYARD: SOUTHWEST

FRONTYARD: NE CORNER

FRONTYARD: SE CORNER

FRONTYARD: EAST 

FRONTYARD: NORTH

The photos below are OLD, collected from the net while we were considering this property - note how run down this house was before the "house flippers" picked it up - wow! 

You find that same old painted iron railing on so many of the 1950-1970 home builds - hate that stuff! 

(Glad they removed it!)

Random image positioning - backyard area, but not showing all of the space 

(0.83 acres in total)

The property owners and the neighbors told us this beautiful tree was hit by lightening - sad. 

Arial lot shot from Google - we're the brown roof (now gray shingled).

These 2 exterior photos were taken by the "house flippers" and used in all their listings for the property. General shape has stayed the same but the landscaping was pitiful IMO - much has been changed already with plans for much more on the horizon. 

They really did do a huge amount of work on this house to get it "up to par" - including: New roof, new hvac, all new duct work under the house, new electrical/breaker box & mostly new wiring throughout, entire kitchen remodel w/ granite countertops and brand new appliances, new windows (except for the 9-pane main room window - still needs replacing), refinished hardwood floors throughout, new ladder to attic space, r25+ value insulation blown in attic (at my request), new dryer exhaust, new hot water heater, and more.
We've been very pleased with this property in the last year+ ...hoping for many more!
