which parts look dated?

Not this PP, but I'm betting she wants a three-car garage directly in front of the house. So that the house itself is barely visible.

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure that this is in the Cleveland Park historic district. You're not getting one of those fugly snout houses there.

No moron, if you look inside the kitchen it looks really dated, empty and cold.

That's just an ungodly amount of space for a single family. Why do Americans think they need these HUGE houses and almost no yard? No wonder 70% of us are overweight, we took away all the yard space and glommed it into bedrooms and home theater rooms. Ugh.

I know it's the new trend, but I cannot get past the brass everywhere. It sticks out like a sore thumb with the paint colors they chose. Specifically, the cooler tones.

A new looking house in that area would stick out like a sore thumb.

I would rather have a unique looking new house than be part of the crappy old communist all the same look.

Better not live in a historic area, then.

I am very fit and healthy and live in a 6000 SF house w/ 6 bedrooms and 6 baths with a home theater. It takes me 15 minutes to get to dc.

I will tell you one thing, that stove looks nice but if you read reviews online it is expensive and breaks down all the time.

Ditto here - and we are a family of 3. Takes us 20 minutes max to get to DC, although we have no reason or desire to go.

Crazily overpriced!!!!

NP, the yellowed subway tiles on the wall does give the kitchen an air of "old hospital wing" or "old pharmaceutical shop". Not necessarily dated, but the yellow looks very wrong with the gray countertops.

I think the subway tile and going for the old pharmacy look is very beautiful when you do it right, and go all in. I.e, the right old fashioned semi-circle pulls on the drawers, etc. This kitchen is kind of a mash-up.

That's just the new-house troll talking. Remember, a home isn't a home unless half of the facade is garage.

You can put that 3 car garage house in the part of DC because the lots aren't wide enough. The kitchen doesn't quite look right, I call it outdated but maybe they tried to mix too many styles old and new. It just doesn't work.

BTW your imaginary home from shutter stock looks ok but it would fit in somewhere outside of DC where you have wider plots of land.

I could never afford a home like that anywhere near this area so I would be more than happy to live there!

People are SO nitpicky on here sometimes!
