We have moved out of the little bungalow we've owned on a city street in the Atlantic Canada since 2012. Most city houses have only around 4,000 square feet of land, but a bigger house than ours.
Our house is about to go on the market. The agent was allowed up to 900 characters to describe our house (in addition to a list of details about room sizes, etc. below).
All the agent wrote was:
"Updates include new roof, new furnace, new oil tank and other improvements. A little updating would turn this bungalow into a sweet little doll house. Would make a good investment property."
Wasn't happy with this description so, being a writer who loves to revise, I sent in this revision to replace it:
This bungalow sits on a 7,800-square-foot lot amid other properties that show pride of ownership on this dead-end street. Most big costs, such as a roof, windows, oil tank, furnace and sewer line replacement, have been recently taken care of. The oil furnace, installed December, 2020, is rated at 96% efficiency. Enjoy sizeable front and side yards, as well as a back yard with two sheds, shade trees, and room for an RV and more. You can modernize the kitchen or keep the cozy cabin feel of a knotty pine floor, plain cabinets and brick chimney. Nearby are a junior high, elementary school, library, rec centre, and terminal with numerous bus routes. Drive to the [popular commuter road] and M. Bridge in minutes. [SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OFFERS DEADLINE--- HOWEVER THAT SHOULD BE WORDED.]
Agent liked the revision. YAY!
