Northcrest keeps cranking up the heat, and just when you thought you’d seen it all, along comes this horizontal mid-century sprawl. Rewriting the rules of curb appeal and snapping necks one drive-by at a time. Black on black on black. You pull into the crisp new driveway. You’re waiting for the Realtor who just made you sign some agreement promising your first born. He’s stuck in traffic, you might need to renegotiate those terms because the longer you wait the more cars you see slowly cruising by scoping out the place. You feel your chest tighten and your anxiety rise. This is your house, you need to get inside. Finally he pulls in behind you and gets out of his white Prius. Apologies, he’s fumbling with the lock box talking about his kids soccer game and how much he likes these “cool mid-century modern homes…” You’re not impressed. You agreed to pay this guy how much? Let’s just get in the house Phill. You push open the 36” fluted-glass, steel door. It’s smooth, like butter, the French kind with a pinch of sea salt. And then it hits you, life will never be the same. Why did you have to see this house last night when you were doom scrolling on IG? Why did that listing agent have to post the pictures with that link to the video on YouTube?! The algorithm has all of a sudden become very expensive.. but it’s scary how good it knows you. The kitchen is matte black, it purrs when you touch it. The Z-line 36” range is staring deep into your soul. It’s offset by the herringbone backsplash, the mid-century modern vintage Sputnik chandelier above the 8 person dining room table smiles and you know you’ve found your people. There’s really nothing else to see. Ha! Just kidding. The two story vaulted living room with her original stone fireplace flanked by 15 ft. glass sliders and glorious sunlight. Why don’t they build houses like this anymore? Someone needs to send out a memo. “Dear builders, no more farm house wanna-be’s, let’s bring back the 1960’s in the most sexy possible way.” Past the living room is a luxurious office with new sliders that open onto the multi-level you start humming Latto’s song but give it a new name – ”big deck energy.” The lower level also features a fabulous guest suite with a modern bathroom and a powder room for all the parties you’ll be having once you live here. Upstairs there’s a pretty in pink original bathroom with the vaulted bedrooms including a very demure and very mindful primary suite. Have you ever slept in a bedroom with black walls? It’s like heaven. The European style en suite features an antique dresser that’s been turned into the most Divine vanity. Time for a bubble bath? “So what do you think?” Phill’s asking. Is that pizza sauce on his polo shirt? Where did you find this guy? Oh that’s right, Zillow. “Write up my offer Phill, Let’s lock this one up today.” “You got it boss, as long as you invite me to the house warming party,” He laughs at his own joke… but he’s not funny.
