It seems that whenever I drive to Lincoln in the winter, it is raining. If I'm driving to Lincoln, it's to do one of two things. Either list a short sale in Lincoln or remove my lockbox from a short sale listing in Lincoln that has closed escrow. The only thing worse than having to shoot photographs of a short sale in the rain is driving around Lincoln in the rain about to run out of gas. Don't ask me why, but there aren't very many gas stations in Lincoln.
Here is a D.R. Horton home in Lincoln Crossing. It's a popular model built in 2006. Some builders closed off the bonus room on the second floor to make this model a 5-bedroom, and it could still be done today; however, it is actually a 4-bedroom with a bonus room and office space. That won't stop me from marketing it as a 4- to 5-bedroom, though. Because it could be 5 bedrooms, with a little effort. It's just not a 5-bedroom now. But it does have 3 baths.
The square footage is noted as 2,570, and it's a two-story, of course. It seems to sit a little closer to the sidewalk in the front, but that's because the space on the lot is largely devoted to the back yard. There is a side, stamped concrete patio, but the back yard patio is huge, plus it has a flagstone firepit off in the corner.
There are a ton of upgrades in this home, which the seller paid for through the nose. Maple cabinets that are stained rouge, oversized ceramic flooring tiles (probably about 20 inches), high-end light fixtures, slab granite in the kitchen -- Kohler sink, Moen faucets, frameless beveled mirrors, cultured granite in the baths and a jetted tub in the master.

I once had a buyer that was doomed to house hunt on all rainy days. Try to schedule a sunny day, it would rain. It was amazing. What we determined was if a house looks cheery on a rainy day, it's going to be fabulous on a sunny day.
Hi Elizabeth... what a great looking home. I especially like the stonework accents in the front.
