Description

Like green? Of course you do, who doesn't? It's the color of grass, your niece's eyes, money, and this amazing house. When you pull up to this palace, you're not sure if you should park in the front driveway or the alley driveway - because you could do both if you arrive in multiple cars (why you would, no idea, but in case....). Before you rush in, take a moment to picture you and 9 of your closest humans (groups limited to 10 please) all having a socially approved good time on the big side deck....Like green? Of course you do, who doesn't? It's the color of grass, your niece's eyes, money, and this amazing house. When you pull up to this palace, you're not sure if you should park in the front driveway or the alley driveway - because you could do both if you arrive in multiple cars (why you would, no idea, but in case....). Before you rush in, take a moment to picture you and 9 of your closest humans (groups limited to 10 please) all having a socially approved good time on the big side deck. No, that isn't another house in the backyard, it's a huge shed that has plenty of room for all your stuff and maybe some of your relatives stuff they don't want cluttering their homes (you are nice, sometimes too nice). Step through the super spiffy front storm door and behold - the living room. You've seen a living room before, but have you ever seen one where the light filters through the blinds at just the right angle to create a feeling of wellbeing so overwhelming you don't want to ever leave? This living room has that. And a closet. After a few deep breaths, step left into the jumbo kitchen with a fine collection of crisp white cabinetry designed with a mathematically perfect work triangle (not verified) to enhance your already considerable culinary skills. Note the marble like counter tops and how they provide just enough contrast to take them from blah to brilliant. Did you need a place to eat that doesn't involve a couch? This kitchen is so roomy you could do either a table or a couch and have room to spare. Check out the bathroom. Yes, you could dance naked in there, it's got the room. And you'd be dancing on expertly installed fine ceramic tiles imported from somewhere far away (probably). Note the fine lines and accent tiles in the tub area - you'll want to leave the shower curtain open when guests come over for sure. And a curved shower rod will save you the hassle of peeling the shower curtain off your soapy body every two minutes while bathing. Nice touch. Most lesser homes have only two or three bedrooms. But that's not for you. Here you've got four, which will make you better than anyone in a two or three bedroom house. And better feels good. Good sized bedrooms too, which makes better even better. Head downstairs and you've got a blank slate to let your imagination go wild. A clean, bright basement that could become a haven for your collection of county fair goldfish, or a roller derby practice arena or a mecca for laundry efficiency. Note the in-ground plumbing already set up for a future second bath (or a convenient way to send messages to your friend who works at the sewage treatment plant). This house isn't just green, it's great. And it's just what you were looking for. See it now.
