One of our guilty pleasures in life (besides Double Stuf Oreos, Kitchen Nightmares, and celebrity gossip) is sneaking around open houses that we have no way of affording. We like seeing how the homes are decorated, talking about what we’d change if we bought the house, stepping out into the yard and seeing the garden. But if you’re fortunate enough to have a job that pays more than humble blogging, maybe you’ll be interested in taking a more serious gander at these three houses.
Homeland:
A spacious master bedroom.
This brick colonial is everything we’d want in a dream house. Five spacious bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, wood floors throughout, and a stunning, granite-paved back porch all add up to a place where a lot of people could be very comfortable. There are other little things that get our real estate heart thumping too, like the long, pretty front yard, for instance, and three wood-burning fireplaces. Open Houses on Saturday June 27th and Sunday June 28th. Listed at $799,000.
Guildford:
Perhaps some travelers once stopped by on their way to Canterbury.
We’ve always found stone houses particularly charming – they remind us of fairy tales and the English countryside – and this Guilford home, with its white trim and blue shutters, is no exception. The three-bedroom, two-bath domicile has a cool kitchen: granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a “farm sink.” With a four-season glassed-in porch and Sherwood Gardens (only a short walk away) you’ve got the room to breathe some fresh air in the city. Open Houses on Sunday July 5 and Sunday July 19. Priced at $488,500.
We suspect Professor Plum, with the candlestick, in the BILLIARD ROOM!
We need to get something out of the way up front: this house is priced at $1,395,000. Yup. We don’t care though; it’s super-fancy. If you don’t believe us, here’s a quick list of the kitchen features: a six-burner gas range, an extra refrigerator/freezer, a double, self-cleaning oven, a cooking island and (a probably huge) dishwasher. Before you call that gratuitous, remember that this is an eight-bedroom house, so a lot of people have to eat in that kitchen. Plus if you have a library, den, foyer, and billiard room to watch over you might lose track of how many people are actually in your house. So it’s necessary, really. Or at least we like to think so. Open House this Sunday June 28.
