I have an addiction to houses. \u00a0Seriously, it’s a problem. \u00a0Perhaps it’s because I am a Realtor’s daughter and so many of my childhood memories were spent at open houses. \u00a0If allowed, I could spend an entire Sunday fluttering from one open house to another. \u00a0Unfortunately, my schedule doesn’t permit that, but on \u00a0a whim a stopped by an open house by M\/I Homes<\/a>\u00a0in a new development near us. \u00a0Generally, when walking through an open house I am overly critical of the over-the-top decor and fake ficus trees. \u00a0Not this house. \u00a0This one stopped me in my tracks. \u00a0This was the only open house that I have ever been in that I could move into as is. \u00a0 \u00a0Here are some of the highlights (taken with my iPhone…)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0The family room which took my breath away.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0Just look at that ceiling!<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0I loved all of the furniture.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0The kitchen. \u00a0Complete with Carrara marble tile.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The kitchen eating area.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just look at this porch off of the kitchen!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0The dining room.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Look at these gorgeous stairs!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u00a0GBR # 1<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0MBR<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0GBR #2<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0One of three guest bathrooms upstairs.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
Entryway to the basement.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Bar.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Loved this Media Room.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are many more rooms that I did not snap, like the home gym, umpteen bathrooms and additional GBR. \u00a0Sure, I’d make a few changes, but a tip of the hat to you, M\/I Homes… You knocked this one out of the park!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
