I know people like to use this phrase to look down on us suburbanites, but aren't all homes cookie cutter? Inner city homes are pretty 60's to 80's style cookie cutter. Condos downtown are about as cookie cutter condos as they come. What makes your home so special compared to others? Unless you have yours custom built with a bat cave, I don't see yours being all that unique either.
