That was what Kimberly and Michael Thorpe were looking for. As seasoned Realtor-brokers who have multiple residential listings at their fingertips, one would think their search would be a snap. Think again.
“We punched in what we thought we wanted and there was nothing that was right,” says Kim, sending Michael a knowing smile. “And here we are, in a house with six bedrooms, the master on the second floor, and a two-car garage. We couldn’t be happier.”

The extra bedrooms were a bonus. Not only would the couple have a master suite, their three children — Shannon, 18, Rachael, 16, and 12-year-old Harrison — would have bedrooms of their own. The fifth bed-room had home office written all over it, and Kim quickly stamped her initials on the sixth, but more about that in a bit.
