Here comes the sun — and the mud. Homes on the market with magnificent mudrooms or lovely laundry rooms
April showers bring a lot of dirt and mud into the house. These homes will have you covered when the mud covers you.
Spring starts Sunday, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see snow again. If April is known for showers, March should be recognized for the cold spell/hot spell cycle that brings snowstorms one day and sunny warmth the next.
All the freezing and thawing means snow and slush aren’t the only thing being tracked into the house. Warmer weather brings melting that can make yards mushy and muddy. A mudroom can help keep dirt and muck from spreading to the rest of the home. Plus, it’s the perfect place to store the snow shovels and the sun hats for those weeks where the weather can’t make up its mind.
Here are five homes on the market with mudrooms we love:
