Property Virgins

First times are memorable just because they are first. This has certainly been true for me this summer with the selling of our home.

Here is a handout left on our kitchen table next to the plate of cookies just-out-of-the-oven:

This was our first home, purchased 40 years ago this past April.

Our next home is in Glen-Aire, just around the corner.

Here are a few of the things to love about this home:

Location, location, location!
The beautiful hardwood floors.
The family room.
Looking out on the back yard.
The laundry chute.
The kitchen layout, including the pantry, the pull-out shelves, and the 36 inch drawers.
The dimmer switches.
The built-ins (master bedroom, master bathroom, garage).
The lighted closets.
Instant hot water in all locations.
The gas fire place.
The sunrises and sunsets.
The basement shelves.
Did I mention the location and the lot?

If you decide this is to be your next home, you will love it.

This is the first home we have ever sold, and it is also the first home the buyer has ever bought. We are both well past our teenage years but we are property virgins.

The selling and buying of this home will be memorable, as will this morning’s sunrise….
