Our new house on Hawthorn Street in Morgantown :)

After a long 4 days in Morgantown, WV Jay and I found our home!! We decided on a house in the Evansdale neighborhood which is right above campus. We live in the same neighbor hood as the Universities president and Oliver Luck (WVU Athletic director). We are close to campus, so close that it is a 2 minute walk to my office!!!!! We can see my building from the end of the block. Although we are really close, it is not a party neighborhood and we are really happy about that. Location location location is great!


Here is the front of
914 Hawthorne St.
Morgantown, WV 96505


The curbs are blue for car parking and zoning purposes- due to the closeness to campus, we'll have to get a parking permit because the students like to park there :) But we do have a 2 car garage in the back also .


Here is the side door that goes either up to the kitchen or down to the basement for laundry.


If you go through the side gate, you see the garage and our huge back yard! Jay will have fun mowing :)


There is a huge pine tree that will give wonderful shade in the hot hot summer months. 



Looking at the back of the house, there is a cute back porch that lead into the kitchen- perfect place for morning coffee and watching the bright red cardinal birds. 





Here is the opposite side of the house and the other fence to get into the backyard. 


Just down this street is West Virginia University! Go Mountaineers!

Here is the other direction down Hawthorn Street.
Now for the inside!!! 



Here is the view right when you walk in the front door. To the left is a staircase that goes up stairs and to the kitchen. 

Here you can see the front door and the staircase- love the red paint!
After you go through the livingroom you find this blue dining area that is connected to the kitchen. 








 Here is the kitchen that looks into the dining room.


View of the kitchen from the door to back porch.


First bedroom at the top of the stairs. 

Bathroom and large storage closet across from the first bedroom.


Second bedroom that looks over the backyard- possibly the office??



The third room,  Lilac #5, this was the owners daughters room and we have permission to paint over it :)

We are relieved to have found a place and look forward to everyone coming to visit! We plan to set up one of the rooms as a guest room and hope that it is used!! XXOO
