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. You’re back at the one that got away, and it’s been transformed into a true gem. Last year, this home was overlooked for lacking a main-floor primary suite. But now, that missing feature is the crown jewel. As you pull up to the freshly landscaped yard, you notice 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 upgraded with counter-to-ceiling backsplash tiles, freshly painted 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 windows and doors flood the home with natural light, creating a bright, sun-soaked retreat. Step out from the kitchen onto the Trex 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. Don’t miss out on this second chance.
