Chapter 364: Exploring the House

Clara led Michael and Bridget to the grand entrance of the house, her confidence evident in the way she carried herself. She gestured to the large double doors, which were made of rich mahogany and adorned with intricate carvings.

"As you can see," Clara began, her voice professional yet warm, "this house has been designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind. The property spans approximately 1,200 square meters, providing ample space for both indoor and outdoor living."

Michael and Bridget exchanged impressed glances as they stepped through the doors. The foyer was breathtaking, with a high ceiling that allowed natural light to flood the space through large, well-placed windows. A grand chandelier hung overhead, adding a touch of elegance to the already impressive entryway.

"The ground floor features an open-concept layout," Clara continued as she guided them into the living area. "The living room, dining room, and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, creating a spacious and inviting environment. The living room alone covers about 80 square meters, with high ceilings that enhance the sense of space.

The flooring is made of imported Italian marble, chosen for both its durability and aesthetic appeal."

Bridget walked further into the living room, running her hand over the smooth surface of the marble. "It's beautiful," she murmured, her eyes taking in the elegant furnishings that complemented the room's design.

Clara smiled at her reaction. "The design team paid close attention to every detail. The furniture was custom-made to match the overall theme of the house, ensuring a cohesive look. The large windows offer a panoramic view of the garden and pool area, bringing the outside in and creating a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces."

Michael admired the view, already imagining hosting gatherings in the spacious living area. "This is exactly what we were looking for," he said, nodding approvingly.

Clara led them through the dining area and into the kitchen, which was every bit as impressive as the rest of the house. "The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf gas range, and Miele dishwasher. The countertops are made of black granite, providing both durability and a sleek, modern look.

There's also a large island in the center, perfect for meal preparation or casual dining."

Bridget's eyes lit up as she took in the kitchen's design. "This is incredible. I can see us spending a lot of time here."

Clara continued the tour, leading them through the various rooms on the ground floor. "There's also a home office on this level, complete with built-in shelving and a large window that overlooks the front garden. The flooring here is solid oak, adding a warm and inviting feel to the space."

Michael took a moment to absorb the figure, nodding slowly. "That seems reasonable, considering everything we've seen so far."

Bridget leaned in slightly, her curiosity piqued. "And what about the payment terms? Would it be possible to make a cash payment, or would financing be the better option?"

Clara's eyes twinkled with professionalism as she responded. "You have a few options, Ms. von Reimann. The seller is open to both cash and financing arrangements. If you choose to go the cash route, we can expedite the process significantly. Of course, if you prefer financing, we can also work with some of the top banks in the country to get you favorable terms."

Michael considered the options. Given his current financial standing, paying in cash would be the most straightforward choice, allowing them to secure the property quickly without the complications of a mortgage.

"I think we'll go with the cash payment," he said decisively. "I'd like to move forward as soon as possible."

Clara's smile broadened, clearly pleased with Michael's decision. "That's excellent news, Mr. Reyes. Opting for a cash payment will indeed streamline the process. We can begin the necessary paperwork right away and aim for a quick closing."

Bridget glanced around the garden, imagining the life they could build here. "How soon could we move in, Clara?"

Clara responded without hesitation, "Once the payment is finalized, and all the legal documents are in order, you could move in as early as two weeks from now. The house is ready for immediate occupancy."

Michael looked at Bridget, who was already imagining how they would decorate and settle into their new home. "Two weeks sounds perfect," he said. "Let's make it happen."

Clara nodded, already mentally organizing the next steps. "I'll get started on the paperwork immediately and coordinate with our legal team to ensure everything goes smoothly. I'll also keep you updated on every stage of the process."

Michael extended his hand, shaking Clara's with a firm grip. "Thank you, Clara. We're really excited about this."

"It's my pleasure, Mr. Reyes. I'm confident you and Ms. von Reimann will be very happy here."
