This Sunday is Father’s Day. If your Hubby is one of those that has a bottomless Job Jar - often called the HONEY-DO list - fix him up in one of these homes that he can enjoy from the start. Depending on his likes, needs, or hobbies, one is sure to fit. Then go easy for a while before you start filling up his Honey-Do list again! Click on the titles to see the home that matches Dad’s style.

DAD needs a bigger home office

If his “office” is in your dining room or if you wish you had solid doors to his den rather than glass so guests can’t see the overstuffed desk area or worst of all, maybe he’s relegated to a corner of the basement, then wait till he sees the massive home office wing in THIS home. Note I said WING … it’s huge! He’ll have his own deck to regroup after that stressful phone call and a separate spiral staircase to the outside. He’ll have a nearby alcove with a sink and cabinet for a mini-fridge for a refreshing drink. There’s also a handy half bath close by as well as a guest bedroom. Heck, when you buy this home, you may never actually SEE dear old Dad again! And best of all, your guests will never see this wing when they walk into the foyer! If he’s not the neatest person, this can be a good thing.

Dad’s an avid golfer and just wants to kick-back

Dad can watch others play golf or he can join the Kinsale Golf Club and join in the play when you select this luxury condo in Golf Village. If he’d rather spend time golfing than working on the job jar, then condo life is for him. He only has to worry about caring for the inside since the condo association takes care of the outside. That’s a wonderful thing! This home is even better than others in the complex because it’s on the end with a full view of the tee and fairway, plus, it was designed to maintain that view from the inside … not just from the oversized patio. Come winter, he can move to the large finished lower level to watch the pros on TV to try to figure out what changes he needs to make to his swing or putting style to lower his handicap next spring.

Dad’s knees are creaky and he doesn’t like stairs

OK, so you don’t have to be a Dad to have this problem. This wonderful home has an owner’s bedroom on the first floor including a whirlpool tub - for those creaky knees. It’s in excellent condition so his job jar can stay nearly empty. Another feature he may enjoy is the workbench area off the finished basement. It also has a 3-car garage just in case he has that mid-life “toy” that needs storing. That way YOUR car doesn’t have to sit in the outside elements while THE TOY is completely sheltered.

Dad’s a whiz at grilling and likes to “do” stuff around the house

This home has a huge deck for entertaining with a roll-out awning to keep the sun or rain off Dad’s grill. No more holding the umbrella over him and the grill. If he has talked about wanting a pool-table sized basement that he could finish, this home has that too. Plus, it has a half bath rough-in - something that “might” come in handy once he finishes the basement and his friends come over to watch the “BIG GAME”. After the game, he and his buds can pretend they’re kids again, and play their own version of football in the fenced backyard. NOTE: I’m holding this home open on Father’s Day from 1-4. Tell him to bring his own football or grilling apron to give the backyard a “test drive”.
