Won't You Please Buy My House

Just look at that majestic beauty sitting on the expanse of green lush lawn. Check out the original colors of that Victorian delight... if  you can show me a house with those colors within a 50 mile radius from here, I'll give you a $20 bill on the spot. No siree, this is a one of a kind house that needs to love you and yours. If you go up the stairs to the covered porch you will see a set of rockers that have provided hours of listening and laughing pleasure, from early in the morning as the first songbirds trill, until late at night when the owls make their rounds. Music has played each balmy evening... as loud as you want, Lou Reed, Van Morrison, INXS, Hillbilly Boogies... name your style and genre, the neighbors have heard it all and they don't mind. You'll want to dance when the spirit moves you, and that is all right, cause no one from the street can see you... it's so private and secluded. Once inside, you can leave your hats, umbrellas, galoshes or sports gear in the pre-foyer to keep the rest of the house neat and tidy. An old oak door crafted before the turn of the century will greet you with a Gaelic plaque that reads... A hundred thousand welcomes...  and from there it only gets better! The foyer is large enough for book cases, curios, or even a grandfather's clock, to let all your friends know upon arrival that you have style. To the right there is a beautiful staircase with a window seat at the base, so you can sit as you yell marching orders upstairs to your kids in the morning. To the left is a pocket door that will close off the living room, (whose floors are covered in elegant parquet), just in case you want a room that stays pristine, while the rest of the house is "lived in". As a matter of fact, the living room and combined parlor is big enough to host a dance party, and there is another set of pocket doors that will close to seal you in complete privacy ;>). The dining room is spacious... why we have hosted a party of 14, with no trouble at all, and it is truly elegant, yet charming at the same time. From there you will marvel at the renovated kitchen, with sculpted book cases on either end of an ancient fireplace... but don't let that fool you, the kitchen has new floors, cabinets, and counters. There are top of the line appliances... which we will throw in for free! Though cozy, you will find your friends and family laughing merrily as your dinner is cooking... and we will even provide the butcher block/pot rack and four stools that will allow them to enjoy your company as you cook. As we say, "Belly up to the bar!" Off the dining room, there is a TV room for all those sports fans that can't miss the game while dinner is progressing.. and a powder room, so no one needs to see the disarray of the upstairs sleeping quarters... unless they are truly nosey. Also off the dining room is a door and stairs to the basement, where a washer and dryer will magically do your laundry with very little effort on your part, and there is a fridge for all the extra wine, beer, and desserts at holiday time.  Off the kitchen there is a patio that is big enough to land a helicopter on...  just in case one of your jet setting friends wanted to fly in for the weekend, and beyond that... a park as far as the eye can see, until it drops off to a babbling brook, where a hammock awaits your romantic escape. Deer are your frequent companions... and foxes, bobcat, and raccoons patrol at night so you are always safe from human predators. On the second floor there is a master suite and two smaller bedrooms... one even has adjoining door to the master suite in case a nursery or dressing room is needed. A full bathroom looks out over your beautiful tree lined back yard. Up a cozy flight of stairs, lies the third floor with its skylights, two bedrooms (one features a real balcony), full bath, and attic room finished to look like a rustic cabin at the Jersey Shore. There is even a huge walk in cedar closet that is big enough to serve as an office. You will find that living here, you can eat what you want and not gain weight, as the stairs will keep you in tip top shape!
So won't you please buy my house?... please buy my house..... come on... do it now... please?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!! ... GIVE THE BOYD'S A BREAK!
