A New Perspective: I Spy (with my little eye) | Real Estate Insights

All are invited to explore this private Shangri-la where hidden treasures abound. What do YOU spy?

[SPONSORED]
The personal stories of one Realtor’s battles and triumphs in the highly-competitive Bay Area Real Estate Market, seeking to illuminate and humanize the very real ups-and-downs of homeownership.

When a truly special property comes along that requires exploration and discovery, what else but a poem and a treasure hunt to catch one’s imagination? Here’s my attempt (and blatant knock-off) of a favorite series my kids and I devoured at the library on a weekly basis when we were all much younger (especially me). We loved pouring over the colorful photographs to find the hidden objects and spent hours doing so.

I SPY . . . (with my little eye)

A pool, a palm, a shady path,
A slide, a fern, a stone bird’s bath,
A tiki man upon a shelf,
A gnome, an imp (or garden elf?)
A birdhouse sits upon a pole,
And one more hidden in a knoll,
Atop the stairs, a mouse’s hole!
A creek, T-Rex, an iron gate,
A secret garden lies in wait,
Gas torch, carved arch, plants on a wall,
A readers nook tucked in the hall,
A guest house hides a Murphy Bed,
A British phone booth in bright red,
A wooden swing to rest one’s head?
Hot tub, gazebo, waterfall,
A towering redwood guards it all,
A box of buttons ‘neath the glass,
A magic homestead at long last.
 So wander slowly through the grounds, to hear the birds sing in the round, and find the treasures that abound . . . .
