Executive homes, tell me about yours

[Anonymous]

Wtf?

I own an 1880s row house in the city and a 1923 home close-in.

I watch a shitload of HGTV and million dollar listing and have never heard the term 'executive home'.

Come on guys, don't be so hard on the OP.

There is such a thing as an executive car, so I think a lot of those aspects would translate over even though none of us have ever heard of an "Executive home" before.

So if there was such a thing as a 5-series equivalent in terms of a home, that's what it would be.

What is an executive car? Google is failing me, all it's giving me is car services.

Yeah, the term isn't really used like that in the United States.

So we're talking about the kind of house a pretentious social climber would buy?

I don't care how swell my house is, I'm not promoting it to "Executive".

Seriously!? This is a thing?

Yep, it's basically a marketing technique for home builders. A standard level will have basic baseboards and related trim, mid-level appliances, hollow core doors, basic tile work, etc. An executive level home will have upgraded baseboards and trim, high-end appliances, solid wood doors, more elaborate tile work, and other high-end details.

OP, for your own sake, please stop talking about "Executive" this and "Executive" that. You are going to make a fool of yourself and really embarrass your husband.

Better make a fool of herself here in DCUM than IRL. OP, I know you're excited but you're trying desperately too hard. The other wives in your neighborhood and at your private school are going to smell your desperation to fit in from a mile away and steer clear. Your husband's promotion doesn't necessitate an entirely new and different life.

I think of the big home on tiny lots. There are some on Lewinsville.

Do we know for sure this is the same OP?

If so I feel like the OP isn't american born and maybe some terms like "executive home" are more familiar to her.

But I agree better here than in the new clique she's going to be falling into soon.

I guess she's enjoying her virtual spending spree.

Where is this magical thread?
