This house's kitchen makes my head hurt

[Anonymous]

Someone went crazy DIY at Home Depot.

The ceiling lights are awful. Way too many and distracting.

Agree flooring tiles are terrible. Proportionally too big.

Starter home area but certainly not a starter home price (or would not be in the past, now not sure). Agreed awful area to pay $1.1m for, if you could scrounge up a bit more (1.3m) could certainly live in a much better area than that.

The few comps/nearby sold homes that Redfin is returning (on a quick look granted) do suggest this place is a little overpriced. Seems like it should be more around 900k.

The screened porch is nice.

The court is terrible, the grid courts that they used to have on all the tennis courts in Alexandria. It barely fits a three point lane in, so couldn't really get a basketball game going. Not big enough to make into a tennis court. Could maybe do pickleball.

The kitchen doesn't bother me, and I cook a lot. When I start a recipe or meal, I take everything I need out of the fridge, and I take out the pan/pot and utensils needed.

I just sold my home for 1.6 that had a much much worse kitchen. So I dunno, looks good for the price? I’m in Arl.

This just made me laugh. Thank you.

Where are you going to put something after you take it out of your oven? You can't place it directly onto your marble countertop. Better stock up on trivets. And for the person who said they never go straight from their fridge to their range/stove. Either you have never cooked or you adhere strictly to mise en place.

This is me, and I cook a lot!

I wouldn't say I strictly adhere to anything, but I'm not sure exactly what I'd pull from the fridge to go directly to the oven. I'd normally set it all on the counter first anyways. Even a pot of soup that needs to go to the stove, I'm still going to set it on the counter before I put it on the stove. Unless the stove was literally right next to the fridge, which I also wouldn't want haha. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding that gripe, but yeah, I normally take things out of the fridge, put on the counter, chop/unwrap/whatever and then go to the stove.
