Y'all know I'm a Realtor, right? I just showed a home that, for a moment, took us by surprise until my clients and I figured out that we were looking at the home of the nicest and most thoughtful man alive. We enter the large laundry room. The washer & dryer are normally on the ground, as you know!! In this home, the dryer is on a very high platform, built in and tiled to match the floor. The dryer, on it's platform, is to the far left, by a wall. Then the washer is to the right and then next to that is another platform, not as high as the dryer platform with a laundry basket on it. We stared. It was a high end home given the price and size so we expected a traditional laundry room. I finally figured it out. This super husband built the platforms so his wife could lift the laundry from the hamper to the top loading washer without bending. Then she could take the wet clothes from the top loading washer and put them right into the front loading dryer without bending...all because of the platforms. We were impressed. Then we turned around and noticed he had taken a table and hinged it to the wall so it could fold down for folding and go back up for easy storage. We ventured upstairs. You know those little lights that come on when it's dark, they are flat and you can buy them at Lowes?? Well, he had two each on every stair, perfectly lined up. It wasn't the prettiest thing aesthetically in a home like this.....but boy is it thoughtful! THEN we entered a room and my client said "uh, Kim, what is this?" and I looked. He turned a bedroom into a dance studio for her. He laid hardwood in the center of the floor (with carpet on the perimeter) and she had a large mirror and there was a disco aerobics cd on top of her cd player which was right next to her work out bike. She has a whole room just for disco aerobics!! In the master, he took out part of the hanging area in the closet to give her a make up room. She had built ins for her curling iron and hair dryer, it lit up as you walked into the closet and it had hollywood lighting like ever queen deserves. Oh, every closet, even the pantry, lit up when the door opened. I could go on.....every room had a special touch to make her life easier!
This woman is living her dream! It was not the perfect home for my client but we all agreed that no man could love a woman more. Oh...if you're interested in the home...the flat screen is free. He put the flat screen in (yes 'in') the wall and put wood trim around it, I assume his queen preferred that look and now he can't take his tv. What a husband!
