San Diego Realtor Showing Nightmares
O.K. Here is a house located at the Bridges in Rancho Santa Fe…it’s a custom home designed and built for a very discriminating family who loved style, design yet the casualness of having a home that you can actually LIVE in! Elegant yet casual. Travertine floors in the great room – Hickory Planks in the Family Room, kitchen, halls – you get the drill. It is a steal as we have priced it against some “semi custom” homes in the area – with teeny family rooms and many times located under – again – famous electric power lines. We like to “fry” our folks here in San Diego!
Of course it’s a custom home meaning it was built for a specific family…YET we have some challenges like a single sink in the beautiful Master Suite. YES a single sink is a design mistake in a multi millian dollar house – but honestly when these “buyers” – flocks of them – come through you would think it was the “end of the world”! Mind you the bathroom looks out of a world famous golf course, is SE facing with natural light pouring in all day – gorgeous shower- gorgeous two sided fireplace but OH MY GOD it only has ONE sink! (we are actually installing one because I can’t hear the word SINK one more time). Now the comments are – The sink’s will be too close together…Obviously folks – if you can afford a 3 million dollar house you have NO INTEREST in standing ANYWHERE near your husband or wife. THe male half who occupied this home had a complete gym downstairs and always used the bathroom in that room. Amazing he had no interest in hanging in the bathroom.
Best story yet are the “men” – yes “men” who want to know where the “men’s bathroom is”… obviously DOWNSTAIRS in the GYM. Have I lost my mind or am I the only person on earth that only spends a half hour TOTAL a day IN THE BATHROOM… Now MEN want their own personal bathroom that is NEXT to their wifes own personal bathroom– shoot me now! I guess I’m lucky that I can’t afford a 3 million dollar house.
Just had to share this tidbit of knowledge… please please if you are building a house ALWAYS put TWO sinks in the Master Bath. If not – don’t call me with the listing! Kidding!
