Whatever Floats Your Boat!...Works For Me!
I was showing this custom home in at 154 Sicily Drive in Clayton, NC to a delightful family on Saturday, it's a magnificent home built by one of the area's top builders, Neil Jarman of Jarman Homes
I am always pleasantly surprised when I get a comment from a prospective homebuyer that I never would have thought of.
What do you think was this lady's favorite part of the house?
It has cathedral ceilings in a living room with a wall of windows opening out to the three season screened and tiled porch. It could have been that!
Maybe it was the beautiful curved brick patio with gorgeous landscaping. The kitchen has granite, tile, stainless steel appliances...you think? Or the master suite which has a huge walk in closet with custom built shelves and a wall of shoe boxes. There is an oversize shower, dual vanities, ( they're not even beside each other) a jacuzzi tub. Skylights, Tile, Granite.
It's very possible she was taken by the spectacular hardwood floors which cover the living room, kitchen, dining room, office. I'm sure she noticed the bonus room is wired for surround sound and the latest in technology and I know she liked the custom dual desks upstairs, ready for computer hook ups and homework, they are a neat touch.
Her two daughters picked out their rooms with the Jack and Jill bathrooms.
She really liked the walk in pantry, and it was a must-have for her whether in this house or another.
So any of the above would work right? Sure, but,
This lady's favourite part of the house was this..........
A Cubby, just inside the garage door, right beside the laundry room. It's got a seat, shelves, boot and shoe boxes, an outlet, it's the greatest thing in the house it's like a decontamination room in a lab or a decompression chamber in a submarine, everthing must pass through here so when you can't find your keys, phone, the ground beef, your purse, briefcase (do we still use them?) go look there!!
This house is in Portofino, so you know the kids will be constantly coming in with muddy boots, frogs, snakes, bridels etc!!!!

David, that is a beautiful home! And I would also like that cubby myself, might even be my favorite, but so many wonderful things to choose from, I just don't know...
It is always amazing what a buyer will like most. This looks like a fabulous house all around.
