Have you seen the homes in other parts of the country?

Yes, and I have never met anyone who thinks a 4000 square foot house is the norm or the average. Maybe in TX?

Mid-west and anywhere south of NOVA

No way. I am from the Midwest and my midwestern real estate agent MIL helped us look when we were buying. She thought Mickey Simpson's were great. There is nothing like them in the Midwest.

We are speaking of the sqrft

In that case, there are lots of big houses. But they aren't generally nice or well-finished.

PP and Midwest native here. That would not be "the norm" for most homeowners.

A new-ish (past 10 yrs) "nice" build in the Midwest would be something like this, poor decor aside.

I think that house is gorgeous but I would never spend $2.2 million on a house where, if my DH was doing the dishes, I wouldn't be able to open up the oven door. Did you notice that the kitchen is ridiculously narrow? Why not add another foot between the two sets of counters so that there's room to move? That would drive me insane and honestly would keep me from buying this house, assuming in some fantasy that I had the money to afford it.

I think that it's a photo-perspective thing- that kitchen is plenty big and the owners entertain a lot. I like the built-in bench behind the island, cool use of space.

Personally, I'd never pay that much to live in Arlington, but I especially hate it when realtors can't let nature take its course and have to start pushing their listings on DCUM.

Here is a real foyer

Perfect for catfights with Krystle Carrington

Ohmigod...the white trash faux two story foyer!! Please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great room right down the hall, correct?

I wonder how many giant TVs that house has. And video game systems.

Don't forget the giant pantry for plenty of "convenience" foods

The midget arlington home has the bare essentials because of space issues. The real luxury homes have extras past the essentials like roomier entrance ways, storage, larger rooms, taller ceiling etc...

It's pretty damn sad that the mickey simpson home is what we consider around here as a luxury when if face it is the bare necessities.

Whatever! Tell that to the Manhattanite that paid the same amount of $ for a 2-bedroom apartment.

NO SHIT!! Did you miss the point completely? That is why you can get a 5,000 square foot stand alone house for the same price a tiny 2 bedroom costs in Manhattan. Jesus Christ.

Be gentle with that PP. He/she isn't the brightest bulb on the tree. The giant plastic fake Xmas tree.

What that custom bungalow is missing is a view of the ocean.

You need to go spend some time volunteering in a homeless shelter. Then you'd have a different perspective on what is pretty damn sad about living conditions and what the bare necessities of housing are.
