Listed!

Many, many evenings have passed with Mark in the "old house" — the duplex next door where Milo was born and where we lived for three years — refinishing floors, painting, pouring concrete.  Various friends have come over and helped out, too.

Finally, today, we listed.  And tomorrow’s our first showing — so tonight Mark’ll be cleaning up again.

Interesting, the MLS search.   This is how I wanted to describe the house:

Just-refinished solid maple floors, claw foot tubs, whirlpool tub, built-ins, sun room, wraparound sun porch, custom stained-glass window, new carpet and paint.

This is how our realtor described it:

Great location – close to everything.  Hardwood floors and lower level washer/dryer.  New Carpet.  Fresh Paint.

I have trouble with the "close to everything" designation, and also with the "lower level washer/dryer" — (a) there are two washers and two dryers, this being a duplex; (b) all four appliances are in the shared basement, not the "lower level," which in an up/down duplex strongly implies "the lower apartment."  Makes it sound like only one apartment has the W/D.

Not only that, but the square footage is all messed up too.  We will have to see about this.
