Beautiful. Unique. Spacious. "Must see." "One of a kind." These are the words and phrases of all MLS listings to help would-be buyers to want to see a particular property. It is the RARE home that needs but few words to describe it, because prose struggles to convey how a home *feels*. Of course, the particulars are important: Large (nearly 7,900 sq. ft.), 6 bedrooms (4 main house + 2 in MIL apartment), 4 bathrooms, 2 fireplaces, music conservatory, main floor office/den (or Main bedroom with separate entrance) theater room, workout/game room, Master Suite with two closets, extensive storage areas, 3-car garage with floor-to-ceiling storage, deck with nearly 270 degree views, 12+ person swim/spa hot tub, large lot (0.8 acres) with mature fruit trees; hanging baskets and gardens have drip irrigation; inground trampoline and plenty of room to add a pickleball court or detached garage! 2 wood-burning fireplaces, 2 AC units (2020), 2 furnaces (2020), 2 water heaters. Dual zoned utilities. Extra large garage has incredible storage and customizable work bench with new shelving system included! But how do you describe how it feels to host a wedding reception in your backyard that looks like a professional venue but feels cozy and familiar (we hosted five personal weddings)? What does it mean to have an open floor plan, so that we could hold both intimate discussion groups around a warm fire AND receptions for foreign dignitaries of 200+ people, and feel like the house was made for BOTH? Or how much dignity could you give your aging parents by having them live independently in their own 2-bedroom apartment with their own entrance, but still in your home where you can care for them as needed (ours lived with us for five years)? Yes, come and see the house. But don't just "see" it. Stay a while. Sit by the fireplace or in the office or on the deck and *feel* it. Imagine cozy holiday decorations or raucous movie nights. Imagine the stories that the house could tell you. Then sit back, feel the home's warm invitation, and imagine your own stories here. Thank you for showing and sharing with your buyers!
