Megan and Don were ready to start looking for a house, I was honored and thrilled to be part of this big step!
We met at the Living Room Office, my favorite place to start. Our conversation evolved around timeline, process and most importantly, what Megan and Don are looking for in a home. Megan and I have been friends for over twenty-five years, and so I thought to myself…I have a pretty good idea of what they are looking for. (Never assume).
We toured a handful of houses. Cape Cods. Mediterraneans. Bungalows. Ranches. Fixers. Kinda fixers. Nothing really jumped out.
Fast forward, Megan and Don head to Sonoma for a long weekend. Over wine tasting, Don continues his casual/not-casual search and one property did jump out. He texts me the link.
It was a mid-century daylight ranch in Woodstock, or to some, Eastmoreland Heights. As I swipe through the listing photos, indeed it appears to be a stellar house, and oh wait, what is this? Photo 22…a giant pool in the backyard. A big giant blue turquoise cool and bright shining pool!
Megan spent summers poolside at “Club Holly”, her grandmother’s house in Portland’s Vista Hills. Don grew up skimming his family’s pool in Michigan. So I didn’t need to question their intent…they’re pool people!
Back from Sonoma and 30 days later, my friends, Megan and Don proudly own a mid-century ranch with a wall of windows facing Southwest that captures the most colorful sunsets and views, sunsets and views which can also be seen from the bright and shining pool!
Love and CANNONBALLS!
