Oasis in the unlikeliest of places.

By Living Room Realty, July 1, 2019

Clients: “We want to see this place, it looks amazing.”

Me: “It is right next to airport in a very industrial area, if it looks too good to be true it usually is.”

Clients: “We drove by, airport wasn’t an issue.”

So off we go to take a look inside.  When I turned off the busy road, past the Commercial Ford truck dealership and drove another 500 feet I couldn’t believe it!  They really had found an Oasis in the city.   I drove over a little bridge, the house is basically on a mini island surrounded by wetlands and its serene a beautiful.  Most of the properties are at least a 1/2 acre some are up to 3.  There were farms and chickens crossing the road.   When I pulled up to the newly remodeled house on over 1/2 acre that was listed below 300K, yes that is correct, I wished I was buying it.

The remodel was done really well, lots of space and did I mention the friendly  hens and roosters that come and greet you when you arrive?  It has been such a treat to go out there and hang out and water the newly planted vegetation while we went through inspections.   The neighbors are also just as friendly as their livestock, everyone  was happy to welcome the newest member to their oasis.
