Listed by FairSquare Group Realty, the home hit the market at $2,675,000 and was snapped up in just a week for $3,325,000 — a whopping $650,000 over asking.

Starting with the exterior, the home is already pretty impressive. There’s a dramatic canopy above the entrance to protect the new homeowners from the elements. The garage looks big enough to fit two cars and, according to the listing, the driveway can accommodate an additional four cars.

Basements are usually an afterthought in most homes but here, the basement is actually one of the home’s best features.
