It was a little more than a year ago that I had the pleasure of handing over keys to the first and only owners of the lovely home at 9358 Vineyard Grove Lane.

And it was scarcely a week ago that the seller got orders to go overseas for the next three to five years.

It was not an easy choice to list the home that they had lovingly furnished, diligently maintained, and happily enjoyed, but it was the one that made most sense.

And so, with mixed emotions, we present to you the spacious five bedroom, three bathroom Robie plan in the quaint and quiet Vineyard Grove neighborhood conveniently located in Leland. It was, in fact, the home's proximity to dining, entertainment, healthcare, and shopping that prompted the sellers to seal the deal.

Because they had no idea they'd be departing so soon, they invested in improvements such as a backsplash, blinds, gutters, upgraded security system with extra cameras, and a wooden privacy fence. Another bonus is the like-new washer, dryer, and refrigerator that will remain with the home.

The Robie floorplan is a smart one with open-concept living featuring a sizable island and pantry on the first floor and a much sought-after bedroom and adjacent full bath downstairs. This functions perfectly for guests, parents, or anyone looking to avoid stairs. Upstairs is a loft area, laundry room, massive primary en-suite, three more bedrooms and a full bath with vanity. The backyard is private and peaceful and waiting to accommodate whatever ideas you have in store.

The sellers have heeded the call and are well underway with packing and preparations; now, it's time for you to call me so that I can get you into this better-than-new home...
