This residence has been enjoyed and extremely well maintained by its current owners. The following interview between the sellers and their Jason Will Real Estate Agent, sheds light on the personal side of 208 Bayview Drive, from top features of the property to the surrounding community and what the home truly has to offer:
Agent: How did you know this was the home you were meant to buy?
Seller: “In our price range it had the bigger bedrooms than other houses we looked at. It also had lots of updates and was move in ready!”
Agent: Were schools a factor in your decision to purchase this home?
Seller: “They weren’t really. Our first son was only 6 months old when we found this house so we weren’t thinking about school yet.”
Agent: What have become your top 5-10 favorite features of the home?
Seller: “I loved the stainless steel appliances and the granite in the kitchen. I also liked that the kitchen faucet comes out and can spray the dishes to make washing dishes easier. I also like that it has a garbage disposal. We loved that it had a big deck with a big back yard for the kids to play on. We liked that there was a bonus room that was perfect to make into a playroom for the kids. We also liked that it was a split floor plan with the master on the bottom floor separate from the kids rooms upstairs.”
Agent: Where do you find yourself spending the most time in the home and why?
Seller: “The jetted tub in the master bathroom. It’s a great way to just relax once the kids are in bed! As a family we spend most of the time in the living room. It’s big enough for us all to sit and play together or watch tv.”
Agent: What improvements have you made to the home or property over the years?
Seller: “We put a new outside air conditioner in March 2015 and a new inside air conditioner unit in July 2013. We also put up new railing for the deck and repainted the deck.”
Agent: What are your favorite grocery stores and shops in the area?
Seller: “I love going to Publix for my groceries and it’s not far away at all. I also like that there are lots of shopping places like Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, and Home Depot less than 5 minutes away. We don’t even have to drive on any busy roads to get to those since they are right outside our neighborhood.”
Agent: Any interests or hobbies you enjoy on or near the property?
Seller: “As a family we enjoy swimming in 1 of the 3 pools in the neighborhood. My husband also likes to play golf on the golf course in the neighborhood.”
Agent: Average utility costs in summer and winter?
Seller: “~$225”
Agent: What will you miss most about living in or owning this property, as well as the surrounding community?
Seller: “The pools and the convenient location to shopping and the interstate.”
Agent: If you don’t mind me asking, why have you decided to sell your home?
Seller: “We have outgrown this house and need another bedroom since our 3 kids don’t do good sharing rooms.”
