As you turn onto Sherman Ave, memories of last year’s house hunt flood back - weekends of open houses, disappointing layouts, and that nagging thought, “Does my dream home even exist?” But today is different. As you pull in to the property, you notice a brand new roof and a new path winding down to a grassy meadow with a fire pit ready for sunset s’mores. Inside, your inner design critic is delighted. The kitchen is fitted with counter-to-ceiling backsplash tiles, new shaker cabinets, brass hardware, and Instagram-worthy pendant lights. The real showstopper is the new primary suite, with bamboo tile walls in the ensuite bathroom, an open shower design, a standalone tub, heated floors, and a walk-in closet. Downstairs offers three more bedrooms, two updated bathrooms, a cozy living room perfect for movie nights, and a laundry area that almost makes chores enjoyable. New black trim windows and doors flood the home with natural light, creating a bright, sun-soaked retreat. Step out from the kitchen onto the new composite deck to be greeted by stunning views of Mt. Adams and the Columbia River. This is where you’ll sip your morning coffee, host BBQs, and watch the seasons change. You and your partner exchange that look—the one that says, “This is it.” Last year’s miss is this year’s treasure, and you’re ready to make it yours. You quickly text your agent, “Let’s do this. We’re not letting this one slip away.” With all-new windows, doors, lighting, and a backyard perfect for fire pit gatherings, this home isn’t just a place to live; it’s a place to love.
