Don't tell the Kayes

20 sunshine avenue

All (7?) of the kids, including Joel, Jeremy and Jevera grew up on Sunshine Avenue, with all but the two boys surviving without noticeable ill effect (sharing a single cot in the attic can work a profound personality change, not always for the good), and I’m sure they were fond of the street, but 20 Sunshine going under contract while asking $1.550 million must come as a surprise. Or it surprises me, anyway.

The best thing about this market, for agents, is that we can “earn” our commission — in this case, $77,500 — with just about no effort. This place wouldn’t sell in 2016, or ‘17 at prices ranging from $1.599 to $1.450, but these days, the agent need only bring her Instamatic over for a quick run-through, post the results on the Internet, sit back and wait a few days, and pow! Easier than hooking an Asian Carp.

What a great time to be alive.

Master Bath: overflowing trash, check; half-used toilet paper rolls on stand and on rack, check; toilet brush? Yup; view of the tub? Well, …

bright, spacious hallway

master closet: staging would only have led to unreasonable expectations
