If you won the lottery, this is the house you'd buy. If the private island in the Bahamas was not available. But if you're not a winner (lottery speaking - you're a winner in other ways), this house is worth a look. Enter the front mud room that is perfect for winter coats, lots of shoes, or small pets that shed a lot. Then step into the marble floored entry with huge closet and original decorative columns so fancy your guests will feel under-dressed with every visit. Oh, the living room is spectacular, with bamboo flooring and enough room for all the neighbors to come over for hot yoga classes. The beautiful flooring flows nicely into the separate dining room that flows nicely into a massive, new, bright kitchen. That's a lot of flowing, but it just flows. And you've got options here - should we eat at the raised bar and watch the cook do their magic in the kitchen? Or sit at the huge dining room table and just call out our order to the kitchen staff to prepare? The kitchen offers bunches of storage options and counter space. Maybe a large antique pantry hutch at the end of the kitchen? Nice recessed lighting here as well. The bath is big and bright and new and has all the modern conveniences you'd expect - like a flushing toilet, a sink to wash your hands, and a place clean your body that offers both hot and cold water! Three first floor bedrooms are all as big as a medium sized moving truck (you're already thinking about moving now... clever), and two have the exotic bamboo flooring that will impress even the pickiest of kids. Upstairs, well, let's call it a spatial master retreat. Close the door and the entire upstairs can be your bedroom and your place to get away. Big closets. The door even locks, so you can have that alone time so lacking in todays busy world. There is more, don't worry. Down stairs isn't just a basement, it's more space you can use. Partially finished with a ceramic tile floor that you won't find anywhere else. Sure, it's old, but that's exactly why no one else will have it. There is plumbing down there for another bathroom (thinking future here). Nice laundry setup - you can pile dirty clothes for days and still have room to work. Nice backyard and great parking off rear alley. Super neighborhood that is convenient to everything everyone wants to do (and you probably do too). See it today, move in tomorrow (or within 45 days or so).
