As most of you know, my parents are into building and selling houses. Their latest project (their 3rd in 4 years) is really pretty. A part of me wants to convince her not to sell this one but at the same time, I know it's what she really likes doing.

My favorite part of the house. Kitchen (granite counter tops) with breakfast nook beyond the L-counter. (Not in picture--to the left: door that leads to the foyer)

- 4 bedrooms all with TB and balcony

Personally, I'd recommend this house for a family with tweens or teens because it's perfect for entertaining. The main kitchen opens into the main dining room which opens into either the living room or the lanai. The roofed lanai is by the pool and the garden. Lots of room for barbecue pool parties, a billiard table plus deck furniture.
I love the bathrooms (unfortunately, no pictures) because we chose stone-like tiles instead of the usual high-gloss tiles. The bathrooms are spa-like and have walk-in closets.

Darling, so do I. Much as I love our little 2bedroom apartment/lungga, I am praying for the day i can afford to buy a real house with a real garden with a real dog.
