Man oh Man I would kill for this house

Shutters would enhance the exterior appearance and crown molding would give some character to the interior rooms. Could use a bit of color inside.

Which is totally defeating the whole purpose of how the house was designed in the first place. The windows are too inset to accommodate shutters, which they never had. It was supposed to be a clean, pared down design of a French Normandy or Provencal house, rustic and elongated cottagey. I wouldn't clutter it up with crown molding. I did notice the second floor ceilings are lowish at 8 feet.

If anything I'd kill the architect of that ugly house

It’s supposed to be a cottage! It needs Ben Pentreath, not crown molding for goodness sake.

I think that’s intentional. It goes with the cottage vibe.

I like it, I just think it is tragic not to have the kitchen interact with the backyard and I think it’s tragic that there’s no screened porch, and I wouldn’t want to screen the one off the living room and spoil the view.

So idk how you could swap the kitchen and the dining room and add a porch without major trauma.

seems like a lot for the features you get

It needs a ton of work. Also I sense that it was in bad shape or had extremely dated, old finishes prior to listing, and they did a "light lift" by painting everything white and removing a lot of the furnishings. My concern there is that the failure to update things like the kitchen layout, flooring, the baseboard heating, reflects some overall neglect that may extend to the roof and major systems. With cost of contractors these days, getting this place updated is going to cost $$$ and the price still needs to come down to reflect that, even with the acreage and the lovely exterior and grounds.

I'm guessing this is mom and dad's house and it's being sold after they passed for inheritance. Probably hasn't been properly looked after in at least 20 years.

I like it. You tear down people are nuts. With a few minor cosmetic updates inside (mirrored walls would be first to go), I could move in happily as is.

It’s lovely, OP.

But the kitchen is under the garage! It’s a literal cave. You want to cook all your food in a basement?

Plus the winter is the wrong time to sell a house with that street entrance. It looks treacherous.

The kitchen isn’t in the basement, that’s the main level of the house.
