METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED HOME AT AN EXCEPTIONAL PRICE I stumbled upon this house quite by accident, in the way one discovers the most delightful things in life. It's the sort of place that makes you wonder why people bother with McMansions. The floor plan is impressively open, suggesting the architect had a profound horror of walls. Near the entrance is a versatile room the owners have used as an office, music room, and what Americans inexplicably call a "second living." The kitchen boasts granite countertops heavy as a small car, a chef-worthy gas range, and bar seating perfect for watching someone else cook. This flows into a "grand" living room with a fireplace that keeps the place wonderfully toasty. The north-facing primary bedroom offers splendid views of one of the loveliest backyards in the county. The bathroom features one of those jetted tubs that bubbles enthusiastically, plus a separate shower for the vertically inclined. The walk-in closet is so large, smaller nations might consider it for parliament meetings. Most remarkably – there isn't a square inch of carpet anywhere. Just clean, hard flooring throughout, as if the builder understood that future generations would thank them. It's the sort of home that makes you wonder why you've spent so much life living elsewhere – a thoughtful combination of practicality and comfort without the hassle of building it yourself.
