Yesterday, a group of Evers & Company agents crossed the Potomac River to help a colleague price a house in Arlington, Virginia.
One agent who lives nearby thought the price might have to go down a bit because the elementary school was not a well rated as others in the county. OK, schools are important, but...
This house had a great finished basement. And in the basement there was a feature that made me flip my proverbial wig. And rats! I didn't have my little camera with me!
The owners had two large Shepherd mix doggies. And in the basement, the husband (an excellent home improvement contractor) had built in a totally fabulous dog bath! Everyone there with a dog was saying forget about the crummy schools, this place has a freakin' dog bath! What I wouldn't give for one of those!
It was low enough that the dog could jump up and in easily. And it was high enough that the dog washer didn't have to bend down. Dang! It just made my heart skip beats!
When I redo the back of my house, I will have to put one in for Willie - if not for me!
In the meantime, if you're a dog person looking for a great house in North Arlington, call me! This one might be yours.
That is a very cool amenity Pat. Maybe you should relabel it a custom home.
Pat this reminds me of the totally permanent concrete python enclosure I built into a guys living room once (3'x8' floor-to-ceiling)---complete with pond and waterfall for the snakes to wash in:)
Now, that is, indeed, a buyer specific house. It's amazing what people will do for their homes and their poochies. I'm hoping the rest of the house was human firendly! :-)
I have seen a lot of reasons to buy a home but this is a first for me.
Now thats a first! You HAVE to go back and get a pic! For sure!
Very good, LOL. Have seen a few homes here with pooch baths, grooming rooms, etc. What you can do when you have money, huh? LOL. Perhaps you need to buy the house?
Patricia,
That's something that I haven't heard yet. How cool, and how "specific" that is. People really go a long way for their pets. my daughter has 2 dogs, but, I am afraid, they would consider it a torture room (LOL)
James and Liz, yeah. I'll go back with a camera when I get a chance.
Gary, it is a custom home, especially if you are a dog!
Charles, a python enclosure? Gee. No warm fuzzies for me, but if I were into snakes, I might pay over asking!
Ken, the rest of the house is really nice, too!
Terry, the first time you realize they are buying for a dog or a cat, well, it's a revelation!
Andrea, I've seen a lot, but never a dog grooming room!
Jon, this is a room that both dogs and their humans could love! I want one!
Pat - I've always wanted one of those doggie showers - my dog weighs 110 lbs and lifting her into a bathtub is not an option. Maybe my next house ...although, I swear this dog will be my last.
