I remember during my college days we had tapestry over the entire ceiling, area rugs, dressers up against the wall, book shelves and milk crates of records and books, it's a real pain to do a thorough inspection.

Check Esri Tapestry.

Between the patio and the street I have lots of lush green tropical foliage, giving more privacy from passers by.

Our cottage is surrounded by woods, with a lush green lawn, and beautiful flower gardens.

Am I to expect dark wood paneling, antique furniture, rich Jewel tone fabrics and tapestry bed linens scattered with accents of animal print or is this more “free-love/ Lux Bachelor pad” dark and moody with sexy artwork?

I value that lush vibe and natural privacy from a well established landscape.Follow up question: if I was looking for a house with 1 acre or more, what communities would you recommend I zoom in on?

I highly recommend our agent (Karen Jennings), our property manager with Action Management (Craig Jungjohann), our insurance with Farm Bureau (Matt Guzinski) and our HELOC refinance with First Savings Bank (Anthony Rushing).I don't recommend going directly to Anthony Rushing, but I highly recommend signing up with Michael Lush's Replace Your Mortgage program to get all the ins-and-outs of the strategy.

Fast forward to today, I have the most green and lush lawn in the neighborhood, and it is choking out the weeds.

Take some spring or summer photos when the landscaping is lush.
