There's an old cliche in real estate - nobody is going to pay for your memories. It's a way of telling a seller, ''I know how much this home has meant to you, but to the next folks, it's just four walls and a roof.'' It might seem cold, but the math is real: your home isn't worth some magical extra amount just because you remodeled everything, or brought your babies home from the hospital there, or poured every ounce of your being into the property over the years.So imagine my dilemma when it's time to sell MY first home. A home that needed *everything* and got that much and more. A home where pets came and went. A home that a young boyfriend and girlfriend moved into together, but moved out of as husband and wife, two perfect children, and two twin babies on the way. It's time to heed my own advice!So while I know that nobody is going to pay me for the 13 years of incredible memories and the life that we built at 457 Craig Road, I do know exactly what the next owner IS paying for...Pride of ownership. Care and maintenance year after year. Completely remodeled home inside and out. Unique and thoughtful addition that was built and the carefully crafted indoor/outdoor living that makes each season one to look forward to. Space to live and grow. Grounds that change incrementally over time, constantly revealing new and exciting beauty. Views of the far off trees across the valley. A perfect location that blends country privacy with proximity to town and access to the highway. Peace of mind knowing that the roof is brand new, and that the HVAC, electrical, plumbing, windows, paved driveway, garage doors, etc. have all been replaced since 2013. It's true. Nobody is going to pay for your memories. Why should they? Memories live within us. We get to take them wherever we go. But I do know that home buyers will pay for quality and for space and for location and for peace of mind, and 457 Craig Road is all of that and more. Make your appointment today!
