Actually, we are really excited about our fixer-upper and can envision the house's potential. We think it is a diamond in the rough. After 30 years as a rental it needs A LOT of tlc!
2224 is located in West Seattle, a peninsula directly across from down town (there is a ferry in the summer, bridge access year-round). The house is two blocks from California Street, a great little shopping area. There are a few great pubs, stores, restaurants, a movie theater, and a public library all with in a few minute walk. The main reason we chose this house though is it's proximity to a great public school (Lafayette Elementary) . Jack will be in Kindergarten in 2011, and we wanted to be settled into a neighborhood well before he begins.

Sarah! I love it!!! Granite counters??? Nice! What color? Thanks for posting pics, I've been imagining what it would be like! :)
Sarah!!! I had no idea!! This is wonderful. Congratulations! Personally I think the house is adorable and doesn't look like it needs much done! I am so excited to come see you there! I am so happy you are staying in the Northwest. Miss you... Casey
Sarah and Marty,
We LOVED the house walk through last weekend while up in Seattle. You have lots of wonderful ideas. Keep us posted as the changes begin to happen! Have fun on the journey and don't worry about the end product. Things seem to always need to be done on a house and part of the fun is in the "doing"
See you soon,
Aunt Betsie
So glad I was able to see your new place before the "house crashers" moved in. The hole in the roof was dazzling! Can't wait for my next visit to see all the changes. XXX OOO Mom
WOW! Now that we've been there, it's amazing to look at these older pictures now and see the transformation taking place. We are so excited for you and can't wait to come up and stay in the new place! Love you, thanks for having us this weekend! Casey and family
