Descriptive Terms in Real Estate Ads ? Even More D
If you are buying or selling a home, the chances are good you struggle with the meaning of descriptive real estate terms. Here are explanations and definitions for more terms.
?Living Room? & ?Family Room?
When a home has both a living room and a family room, we know which is which. It used to be that when an ad mentioned a family room, we could assume it also had a living room. Now some builders are building houses with something akin to the first use of ?Great Room? above and calling it the ?Family Room? on the floor plan. Thus houses and their terminology seem to be evolving. I suppose in the new builder speak we should just think of the room as an informal family living room.
?Patio? & ?Terrace?
Both are outdoor living areas paved with something like slate or brick. A patio is level with the ground around it. A terrace has adjoining areas of ground which are higher, or lower, or perhaps both.
?Solarium,? ?Sun Room,? ?Florida Room?
These terms are used to describe rooms with lots of windows (often on three sides). Many times these areas also have skylights. The choice of what to call them seems purely personal. They tend to be charming, bright, sunny places in which to over winter plants and sit in the garden in chilly or downright cold weather.
?Jack and Jill Bath?
A bathroom with two doors into it. It is frequently situated between two bedrooms with doors to each. Sometimes the doors are into a bedroom and into a hallway.
?Waterfront? vs. ?Water View?
Waterfront property actually has a common boundary with (frontage on) the water. Sometimes the property line actually goes into the water. Water view just means water can be seen from the property. Sometimes there is a beautiful view. Sometimes it means the water can be seen from one upstairs window when the leaves are off the trees! Also, many times a new structure might block the view at some time in the future unless there is a protective covenant or something to prevent it.
If you can get the verbiage down, you?ll be way ahead in the real estate game. Look for future articles on this subject or visit our site to read more terms.

Myrtle Beach is named for the many wax myrtle trees growing wild along the coast. The area is also called The Grand Strand and it stretches for 60 miles along the SC coast. Myrtle Beach is famous for being the place where Sports Illustrated magazine was conceived in 1953. Despite the rapid growth of the communities of the Myrtle Beach area, Myrtle Beach is still “small town America” at heart. Old churches with storied graveyards, plantation homes, and landmarks designed in the classic style of early America are a testament to the rich history of this area. Mild weather allows for year-round enjoyment of golf, tennis, baseball, biking, walking & Water sports. 13 million people visit the area each year which strengthens the economy. There are over 1800 restaurants, 100 golf courses, 8 live entertainment theaters and more than 300 outlet shopping stores. The median price home in this area is $180,000. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
