All new, must see, prime location, priced to sell, won’t last, blah, blah, blah. All true, but so cliché. The day will start in your new European cottage with a cup of hot roasted coffee in the cobble stone courtyard and gardens surrounded by the fragrances of jasmine and nearly thirty varieties of roses. Later, you and your guests can have tea in the formal living room replete with tile from Spain, granite fireplace and French beam ceilings with old world chandelier. Smell the aromas of dinner being prepared in the chef’s kitchen accentuated with brand new black stainless-steel appliances, breakfast bar, South American granite, Carrara marble back splash, and American maple custom cabinets. View the hummingbirds through all imported IRON and glass doors (there are no others in America) along with the new vinyl double pane windows. Your home feels light and airy with three solar powered vent and shaded skylights. Ascend the staircase on English oak wood, hand crafted solid wrought iron rails with cascade lighting. Relax in a hot bath or steamy shower in spa like elegance, with Italian tile floors, walls, and surrounds. Quietly rest in any of the bedrooms, each with custom installed pattern English oak floors, designer lighting and imported IRON and glass doors. Your car can rest in luxury as well! The garage is fully finished with skylight, marble epoxy floors, built in gray shaker cabinets and a second story storage area…no clutter! All this sound like a dream? It’s not, this could be your new cottage home!
