Am I too shallow?

| We found a house that is a good fit in terms of location, size, floorplan, cost, etc. My one big problem with it is that I think the exterior style of the house is really ugly and I would feel embarrassed inviting people over. Do you think it's ugly (especially that creepy-looking alcove where the front door is), and if so would you pass for that reason? Alternatively, do you have any suggestions for making it look better? Maybe a different color trim or something? http://csmedia.mris.com/platinum/getmedia?ID=97618158293&LOOT=50000881743 |

| If this is what embarasses you, then yes, you are pretty shallow... |

| It's a nice home. If you invited me over I would think you have a beautiful home. |

No, I don't think the house is ugly. I don't particularly care for the alcove thing, but otherwise it is a nice looking house. I think you should go for it.

Not a fan of the exterior. However- I like old homes/neighborhoods.
It's the area around the door I don't like. Does it also have a 2-story foyer and 'great room'? |

I would think "nice home" but not anything that I would ever want to buy myself. Like 20:14, I prefer older (which also usually happen to be smaller) homes.
Although I do think it is odd that it is giving a nod to symmetricality but totally isn't symmetrical. So, yeah, kind of weird. |

| if you invited me over my first thought would be that you're either very wealthy or shallow but not because of the style of the house but rather because no family needs this much space unless they have 10 kids. |

Funny -- I know this house!
Anyway, not sure why you're creeped out about it -- nice house. I like the look. |

| It looks like a pretty expensive home, If you hate the exterior keep looking. Personally I don't like the color of the bricks and the matching roof triangles on each side. It's not that ugly, but if you don't love it, you should pass on it. |

We have four kids and currently live in a 1600 square foot house that's bursting at the seams. The side load garage on this house makes it look bigger than it is. We will probably keep looking because in addition to the exterior, we also don't like the fact that it's not on public sewer. Also, the outside looks worse in person - it looks kind of dark and foreboding. |
