This past weekend my BF and I bought a house in Webster, MA.

The basics:
Raised Ranch
1950 Sq ft
2 bedrooms
1 office (which will likely be used as a bed room)
2.5 baths
3-4 stall garage

Since this is a car forum I'll start with the pictures of the Garage. The garage is heated vicariously.... Basically the hot water pipes run though and heat it. Its usually about 60* when the heat is on real low.






Its been really snowy and we've been busy unpacking so I haven't had a chance to take any new pics but these are the ones the owner used when listing the house. (aka... I have much better furniture )

This office is the only 'living space' on the first floor... the rest is the garage.

 

NICE! I want one

 

Different

 

Thanks.... Yeah it really is different but that was part of its appeal. (IMO)

 

Nice, Is there inside access to the garage? I think I would put some foam around that post in the middle of the garage.

 

Thats a big ass garage...

 

Yes there's inside access. I agree about the foam. I'm also going to consider putting some on the wall near where I would get out of my car. Although I have plenty of room on either side of the car I am worried about someone else being careless and hitting my doors.

 

Very nice. I am jealous of the heated garage.

 

Wow! That is totally different. When I was reading the opening "stats" on the house, I was not too interested. But the pics show the house very well- I love the cathedral ceilings and open floor plan. Looks like a fun and neat house. Congrats!

As for that garage....wow again Different but to have that much space is way cool. It kinda reminds me of city parking garage- drive in and it opens up. Was the previous owner a car guy? Single?

 

nice house, very interesting layout, i like

 

Thanks guys...

On paper the house seems small and boring which probably isn't going to help with the resale. But with a garage like that I don't care. lol. We almost didn't go and look at the house b/c it only had the one garage door but once I got inside and realized I had to buy this house.

The guy who owned it before built it and was the only one living there until his girl friend moved in recently. He drove an avalanch as his DD and he mentioned something about having a corvette parked in there but I think it might have been his brothers

 

this is an awesome house and garage! Congrats!

 

congrats, the house looks beautiful.

 

Garage is very spacious. If it has a bathroom I wouldn't mind living in there. Nice kitchen but i don't like the white appliances. Congrats on the house.

 

wow i like alot! almost like my dream house, i want the whole first floor to be a 2 car deep/4 car wide garage. 1 or 2 living floors above..

 

Nice house and you could easily fit another car in there. :wink:

 

Take out the office and use the entire bottom floor as garage space...throw on at least a double-car garage door so you don't have to jockey the cars to get in and out.

Congrats.

 

Add hoist and wash bay.

 

Garage is awesome, needs more Honda's!

Only regret in building our home last year: one can never have a large enough garage.

 

Nice garage and house! I would kill for a garage like that!

 

Very cool. Congrats!

 

Very nice. If that garage has a drain you will be set

 

Very sweet... congrats!!!

 

Congrats! I <3 the vault ceiling and floor to ceiling glass.

 

Thanks guys.

Hongda when you moving in... Its got a half bath in the room/office right next to it. Its all yours for the right price

The garage doesn't have a drain and I'm kind of upset about that and trying to find a way to fix the problem. All the snow and ice that melts off our cars from the commute stays in the garage until it evaporates or we push it out with a brush.

I've got a friend with a couple of Porsches and a GTR I'm trying to talk him into renting one of the stalls just so i can have a super car in my garage lol.


We finally took some of our on photos so I'll probably have those up in a little while

Very nice place for being 23, but no offense whats with the furniture? Very tacky and cheap looking IMO.

 

I agree with you about some of the furniture. The bedroom set was free, a hand me down from my parents. the bed is just my full size bed that i brought from my parents house (where i lived before buying the house). the dinning room table was also free, I got it from my grandmother. The TV 'stand' is actually just an adjustable height desk. We have a wall mount coming in tomorrow and we will be hanging it on the wall with a corner cabinet underneath to hide the other stuff.

The living room set isn't cheap at all. Its actually a really nice leather set that we just bought. Its very contemporary which is the style my boyfriend and i like.

so yeah some of it is cheap and tacky, and it will slowly be replaced as we can afford it.

 

Nice house and congrats!

 

Wow. You must have never purchased your own place. Most people who buy their first place put everything into the purchase leaving little for other things. New furniture will come in time.

No reason to get further into debt fully furnishing the place with brand new things on the first day you live there to impress people on the internet

 

Only the garage pics are showing up for me, but it looks pretty neat. I would make some of that space into a "fun room" or something like that. Also you might want to insulate your water pipes, I know they heat the garage a little but you could do that with a small space heater if need be instead of making the water heater work harder.

I will have to check out the other pics from home. Either way, congrats on having a home at 23.

 

No I have not purchased my own place. I like the house, and at 23 that's a very nice house to have. All I did was comment on the furniture, I'm sure in time there will be nicer furniture. I thought we could all express opinions on here?

 

^ Of course you can but I don't know that it was necessary to post specifically about her furniture and call it tacky and cheap looking. That's my opinion...

 

No that is incorrect....jk, anyway it was not a very intelligent comment, but this is the internet....................

 

Seriously, i think the living room leather furniture looks tits! Mad props on having a nice crib at 23 y/o. No need to hate on the furniture

 

I like it a lot. That looks like an awesome bachelor pad. I would love to have a place like that!

 

wow i am so jealous of your garage... if i could fit a lift in that badboy, that would be the first present to myself...

 

I like it.

 

Only commented on it based on the OP's comment, "Its been really snowy and we've been busy unpacking so I haven't had a chance to take any new pics but these are the ones the owner used when listing the house. (aka... I have much better furniture )"

I'm not putting down anyone, I was just expecting to see higher end furniture after that comment.
