Shortly before the tragic events on September 11th my family moved into the place they called for nearly seventeen years. At the time, there were only seven kids in the family. Less than two years later, the eighth and final Wilson kid, Beneson, would be born. After eight kids, @sevinwilsonsdad and @doctorvicki felt like that was the time to call it quits.
When the news broke that the house be going on the market, nearly all of our friends reached out to us to tell us how much they loved coming over to the house and how much they are going to miss it. Often times each of us siblings would have a friend or two over and there would easily be 20+ kids at the house. My parents never had a problem with ordering pizza and wings for all of us. Birthdays, holidays, and graduation parties were always a great time as we could fit nearly everyone in the family in the house plus twenty-five cars in the driveway.
Currently, I am the only one living at the house as everyone else has moved out. Being the only one left in the house meant I have to coordinate any of the repairs or showings of the house. These are some of my favorite things to do! With the sixth child graduating from high school in just a few weeks they did not see the need to have a house that is over 4,500 square feet and has basically seven bedrooms. I say basically seven bedrooms because the bonus room that is 16' x 18' shares a closet with another bedroom and thus does not count as a true bedroom.
We are all going to miss the house, but nothing lasts forever and it was time to move on! Being responsible for selling the house, allowed me the opportunity to use some of my talents and get creative. I decided to make a website for the house to give it a little extra flair. You can view the website at http://4775highgroveroad.com. While browsing other sites about homes I saw one that had a floor plan with images that would pop-up. I loved this idea and decided to put my own spin on it. I created a video that gives people a quick insight into the house in less than two minutes.

Man, that sounds like a great time. I can only imagine the memories and good times associated with this place - I am the oldest of six so I can imagine a bit, lol.
You definitely have a gift for real estate - Sevin the real estate mogul in the works maybe?
Looks like an really nice house and property. Always going to be some attachment to dwellings that we call home... Especially for close to 20 years. Best of luck on the sale.
Could this be ones of the first house listings on Steemit?
Wow, that's a beautiful home! Leaving a house you are used to to a new home is always hard. I love your advertising and good work on the finishing; lovely!

Most of the time my parents were right there in the thick of things with us!
Hopefully @kcotton doesn’t see this because he would say the same thing - he’s trying to recruit me into the game!
Lol wouldn't have seen it if you hadn't tagged me!
Literally just wrote a post on reasons why he should do real estate! Please add on and tag him in the comments!

Wow, what a wonderful house.
Guess its hard to leave the place where you grow up. It was difficult for me.
It is tough for sure! I can’t believe it is all coming to an end at this house! So many memories!
It's always tough!
Just get your Real Estate License already. You can work for my dad, you would be great at it!
