A reader commented in the previous post that I should post some pictures of our house in Taipei. I'm sure I've got many, but locating them is another thing, so I just went thru Mom's photo album of when she was there for the birth of Atticus and scanned them. I wish I had one taken directly of the front of the house (and when I say house, it's more like what we would call a condo). Anyways, when we bought it in the summer of 2006 we had it totally gutted (nothing but brick and cement remained) and this is the result. We would have done a few things differently had we to do it again, but for the most part it served us well.
This is the bathroom taken from the hallway. Directly to the right (behind the door) is the big deep tub, and the shower is on the right just behind that glass door. I really like having the walls tiled; makes for easy and thorough cleaning.
This is the office/nursery/guest room. It houses our computer and books all the time, is a guest room when we have guests, and converts back to a nursery (we move the crib back in from our room) when we have no guests (which is pretty much all the time).
The kitchen. This is where the biggest of the budget cuts were.
Dining area.
Living room. Front door is just at the top right of the picture. This looks out onto the tiled patio area. Big steal door outside is just to the left of that big front window (LOVE that big floor to ceiling window).
Patio area taken from the 'driveway'.
The laundry 'room' (we also have a laundry room in the house in the storage room, but clothes dry faster outside).
Our driveway. This is a BIG selling feature as parking is so hard to come by. This area used to be full of garbage and trees, so we cleaned it up and cut them down and, voila, parking for 2.
So, that's the house. There weren't any pictures of our room or the storage room, but you get the idea of the place. Hope that satisfies your curiosity, Kathleen!
(BTW, our house is not the 'norm' for a house in Taipei)

Thanks Heather!
What a great little place you have! Not what I expected at all! So, what makes this different then a 'normal' Taipei house?
Cold tile floors, white cement walls, hard wooden furniture, kitchens you don't really want to cook in or eat food from, and bathrooms that don't have any more to a shower than a shower head stuck on the wall and a drain. I'll see if I can't post a few pictures from some of the houses I rented.
Well I'd say your house should sell in a heartbeat then! And for a great price!
