The Beginning of the Madness!

Welcome to the Cottage of Marsh Madness!

Built in 1952 but revitalized by the Whitfields in 2011!

To understand where it all began, we shot tons of pics from all kinds of angles

so you could see our home from the start the day before we moved in all our stuff...

We'll start with the front entrance...

Here is the view looking out of the front door. It slopes down from the street to our front door.

This is not what sold us on the house...

The view from the back door is what swept us off our feet. More on that later.

The view of the front right side of the house and driveway, garage, etc.

Here is the left side of the house.

Lets step inside the front door into the front family room...

If you walk to your right inside the front door, you can see the kitchen/ dining room.

Here is the front bathroom...full of some lovely vintage tile. :)

Please come step inside our Master Bedroom ....

with a Pepto Pink Clawfoot Tub smack dab in the middle of our bedroom.

Our Master bedroom has 1 sink and 1 toilet...and connects to the walkin closet.

Here's a view of the TV Room/Den. Nice wood floors and Shrimp Pink walls. (The previous owner must have had something for the color of pink!) They also painted over the Charleston brick fireplace. :( The double doors open out to the backyard. The single door opens up to the garage. Note the beams above.

Bathroom that opens up to both the TV Room and the Guest Bedroom,

complete with toilet, pedestal sink and large shower.

Lets step out the back door and take a look at our backyard.

Here is the view from the back!!

A view of the house looking back from the backyard.

You can also see the outline of the 40 x 20 pool AKA swap that came with the property.

The doors to the left lead to the TV Room with the fireplace. The doors to the right lead to the master bedroom. The door in the center is this weird space that is mostly a large storage closet.

There are also 2 sheds on the property.

This is off to the left of the house if you were looking at the back of the house.

Here is the back storage rool/pool rool.

I did not yet include the dreaded striped guest bedroom nor the upstairs bedrooms that I have turned into my office. More to come on those when I can grab photos of those spaces. :)

Below is the floor plan of the house.
