An exercise in quiet sophistication, this 4,200 sq ft modern estate layers floor-to-ceiling glass over wide-plank European oak. The chef's kitchen — Sub-Zero, Wolf, and a 12-foot waterfall island — flows to a covered loggia with outdoor kitchen and saltwater pool. A primary wing with spa bath and dual dressing rooms occupies its own level. Smart-home automation, a 4-car gallery garage, and gated grounds complete the offering. Shown by appointment.

The 5-Part Formula Behind High-Performing Descriptions
- The hook (1 sentence): the single best feature, stated concretely. Portals truncate previews after ~25–30 words — earn the tap here.
- The proof (2–4 sentences): specifics with numbers and years — "renovated kitchen (2024) with quartz counters," "new roof (2023)." Specifics read as honesty; adjectives read as filler.
- The lifestyle (1–2 sentences): what the layout lets buyers do — entertain from the open kitchen, work from the quiet den, summer on the covered patio.
- The location (1 sentence): proximity to trails, transit, dining, commuter routes — described as property attributes, not buyer demographics.
- The close (1 sentence): a single clear call to action with mild urgency: "Schedule your private showing today."
Words That Sell vs Words That Sink
Use: concrete & sensory
vaulted, quartz, wide-plank, south-facing, en-suite, fenced, updated (with year), corner lot, walk-in, covered patio, natural light, open-concept, turnkey
Avoid: filler & fair-housing risk
"must see!", "won't last!", "charming" (without proof), "cozy" (reads small) — and anything describing buyers instead of the property: "perfect for families," "safe neighborhood," "exclusive," school references framed around who should live there
Great Copy Needs Great Photos
Buyers see the photos before they read a word. Pair your description with AI-enhanced listing photos, virtually staged vacant rooms (under $1 per photo), a blue-sky replacement for gray-day exteriors, or a day-to-twilight hero shot. Planning the shoot? Use the photo shot list and seller prep checklist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account to use this AI listing description generator?
No account required. Enter your property details and get three versions (professional, luxury, and social media) ready to copy straight into your MLS, Zillow, or marketing materials.
How do I write a good real estate listing description?
Lead with the single most compelling feature, follow with concrete specifics (square footage, upgrades with years, lot features), describe the lifestyle the layout enables, mention location benefits, and close with a call to action. Aim for 150–250 words: long enough to inform, short enough to be read.
What should an MLS description include?
Property type, beds/baths, square footage, standout upgrades (roof, HVAC, kitchen with years), lot and outdoor features, and neighborhood highlights. Skip what is already in the structured MLS fields, and never include information that violates fair housing rules.
What words should I avoid in a listing description?
Avoid any language describing the ideal buyer rather than the property: "perfect for families," "walking distance to church," "safe neighborhood," "exclusive community," or references to schools framed around who should live there. Fair housing law (and most MLS rules) require describing the property, not the people. Also skip empty filler like "must see!" and "won't last!"
How long should a listing description be?
Most MLSs cap remarks at 250–1,000 characters or ~250 words. The sweet spot is 150–250 words: three short paragraphs covering the hook, the specifics, and the location + call to action. Portals truncate previews around the first 25–30 words, so front-load the best material.
Can AI-written descriptions go straight into the MLS?
Yes — they are plain text you own. Always proofread for factual accuracy (the AI only knows what you enter), verify measurements against records, and confirm compliance with your local MLS rules before publishing.
