“I’m not sure that I have ever worked with sellers who were so pleased that the home they loved so much was being purchased by buyers who would enjoy it as much as they had,” says Jane McCarthy of Benson & Mangold Real Estate, the buyer’s agent for the property. “The buyers knew the sellers, and everyone was so happy about the transaction. In fact, the buyers’ gift to the sellers was actually a key to the home, so they could come back and visit anytime. The property is absolutely stunning with mature trees and wonderful water views. It’s such a beautiful and relaxing setting, and every room in the home has a view.”
