Thoughts on this N Arlington house?

Are my eyes deceiving me or is there a toilet in one of the showers?

What I hate is that the front door opens directly into the dining room. Open concept kills flow and this is a prime example. Who wants to walk right into their formal dining space?!

I think the office is actually supposed to be the dining room. They've put a dining table in an area that should be empty. Maybe they just did it for staging purposes, because in real life it seems like it would be annoying.

Backyard patio looks like a restaurant. Too much cement and needs more greenery and landscaping.
The interior is awful. A boring sea of white. It needs color and dark wood accents.

It's a terrible photo – it's a reflection, but I did a double-take on that, too!

I like the house overall, but like another poster said, I dislike the staging with the dining room table at the entryway. It makes me notice that there's no dedicated dining room – which is a negative thought when you first enter the house, even though I don't actually care about a dedicated dining room, and my house doesn't have one. I just feel like throwing the table there spotlights something that can be perceived as a negative to a lot of people.

I'd put a dining table where the 'sitting area' is now...wouldn't want that much upholstery sitting right next to the kitchen. I also really hate how the appliances are installed into the wall instead of into cabinetry - seems like a huge pain if something leaks or breaks. Agree that the price seems a tiny bit high for unfinished basement and specificity of some of the overall design choices (sinks, lighting, the huge soaking tub that seems to block the French doors), but given that it's in North Arlington, I'm sure it'll go at or above asking.

3D tour has an industrial-sized fan in the basement. Draw your own conclusions.

That might have been put in to dry the fresh paint job... but then the next question is why the unfinished basement has a fresh paint job.

This will go well above asking.

We looked in this neighborhood for a LONG time. It’s mostly very old or new and too expensive.

I think this will settle at closer to 2 million, if not more. It’s no the no man’s land of house prices in this area.

I guess the all-caps yelling about offers being due Wednesday didn’t pan out.

Hard to know for sure by now. You might be right, but they also could be at the point where the agent badgers buyers into increasing their offers.

Living room is cramped. Don’t see a family room?

Thanks for the update, agent. What's the offer price?

Lol. Still not an agent. Just a neighbor.
