A beloved restaurateur turned a white home into an over-the-top pink-and-green paradise that found a buyer in just 6 days after a bidding war. See inside.

"There's pinks and greens and corals and lavender and all sorts of hues that all blend together and look beautiful," Franckum said. "The whole house just glows. It's a real work of art."

"She's an avid gardener herself and has these amazing perennial gardens in the back and was always working on these gorgeous flowers," Franckum said. "She brought the outside natural world inside."

The door-knocker, like most of the house, is also untraditional. It's a leg that kicks rather than knocks on the door.

"When you are first entering the home, there's this little knocker — there's a little leg sticking out," Franckum said. "It's sort of foreshadowing the events to come when you walk into the other room."

Hughes commissioned artists of her choosing to paint floors throughout the house.

"When you come into the house, the first thing that you see is very brilliant, dark hues of pink and coral," Franckum said. "She basically hired two artists to paint flowers and poppies on the floor, and plaid patterns."

Gold is one of Hughes' favorite accent colors.

"There's beautiful stripes on the wall with gold leaf and copper leaf," Franckum said.

"It literally fills your heart with joy the minute you walk in that house," Franckum said. "Everyone that you see who comes in the house, their jaws drop, and they're just filled with joy. You can just see it."

Most of the rooms are brightly painted — except for a half-bathroom on the first floor, which is painted a surprisingly subdued shade of white.

"Every single room is unique," Franckum said. "Every single room is painted in some beautiful shades of pinks, or, greens, or corals."

"It's very joyful and playful," Franckum said. "Very much Alice in Wonderland."

"The standout rooms are likely the dining room and the living room, because there's gold leaf and copper leaf for the stripes on the walls," Franckum said.

The bright pink and green accents, however, remind you that you're still in Hughes' fantasyland.

"Those are the colors that make her heart sing," Franckum said. "She is just so in love with the colors — pink, gold, silvers, and the colors of flowers."

"It's very much of the ilk of Upstairs on the Square," Franckum said. "She had carpeting in there that was zebra carpeting and leopard carpeting."

"There are accessory carpets here and there, but when you look underneath and around, all of the floors are painted," Franckum said.

"All of the paint is a super high gloss and many layers of it," Franckum said. "She even paints the ceiling in high gloss."

"There's no matte or satin paint anywhere," she added.

"It has two mirrored closets," Franckum said. "There's not as much sunlight in that particular room, so the colors read even more."

"Every single closet has paint inside — some wonderful colors." Franckum said. "So there's a surprise wherever you go."

She intentionally listed the house without staging it or erasing any of the unique details — and it paid off, with 100 people flocking to the first and only open houses and multiple bids submitted by the May 9 deadline.

"I could never change a thing at this house," Franckum said. "It would just be sacrilege to change any of the paint. I just wanted everything the same. There were a couple of little repairs or little touchups here and there, but it never occurred to me to paint everything to white or to bring it all to neutral."

Franckum and Hughes have already selected a buyer from the offers received to proceed to the next stage of the sale. But don't worry, most people want to keep the property just the way it is.

"It was interesting to hear people say they would just keep it the same," she added. "Or maybe change one little thing."
