Sounds to me like you'd better jump on this while she's being reasonable. Things could get ugly very fast - I had a friend who also (very unwisely, if I may say so) bought a house with a girlfriend. Long story short - he walked away with the shirt on his back - she got everything else. This after he had invested about $30K
I don't know what the "common law marriage' laws are in your state, but if she wanted to fight you on this, she could end up owning half, if not more, of that house.
Good luck.
