One of the better examples of new construction?

I love those.

Same. I love the curb appeal. I think the siding should have maybe been a different color other than white, but the swopped roof is fitting for an older neighborhood vibe.

In someplace like Ashburn, obviously not.

That house is hideous inside. The outside isn’t awful, but I couldn’t get past the first 10 pictures. It is really awful. Yuck

The all white interior is painfully boring. No paneling. No trim work. Just painted wallboard.

I'd need to add a tacky carport after all the snow we've got if there was no garage at all!

A side facing garage is better. There is an old neighborhoods in Bethesda that prohibited street facing garages in order to protect the real estate value for everyone in the neighborhood. It is lovely to walk and drive around because the properties are beautiful. Most everyone has a side facing garage.

That bothers me.

I know that neighborhood. Where are the low-rise condos?

Ok, low-rise apartments? Not sure what else to call what the home back yard is backing up to.

You’re a fool if you think this is a real Tudor. It’s very much a mix of styles just like most of the Craftsman houses.

I’m no fool. I don’t care what you call it. It just looks better than the same white and black craftsman that keeps getting built. To me it’s the best of both worlds. Practical in the inside and curb appeal on the outside.

Weird--that's precisely what I like about it. Symmetry is so sterile.

Symmetry is about balance and harmony.

That price is insane, but it's a cute house and doesn't look overwhelmingly big. I love that.

I really like that house. Not in the $3M market, but think that they did a nice job building a rather charming new build. The rounded arches just feel nice. I like it.

It certainly doesn’t look like an almost 6k sq ft house from the front - I’d be curious to see how much of that footage is in the basement vs above ground. Still - very nice.

Lack of a garage is a definite bummer though. There’s enough room in the back to add a good sized shed for bicycles and such, but many people really do want to be able to park their cars under cover.

Interior is very tasteful except I don't love the brownish floors. Otherwise I like it.

I will say I don't love the exterior style personally but understand why they chose it there.

I’d like to see some new construction, 1,800-2,200 sq ft homes.

It's actually apartment buildings. Not sure I'd bite for $3M with the lack of privacy and garage (though garages are super rare in Del Ray).

I really like it - seems to have quality finishes and agree that the exterior design looks like it fits into the scale and architecture in the neighborhood much better than the typical new build. I'm not sure about it being 5800 square feet though - agree it must be very deep and probably eats up a lot of the back yard. It's larger than is really practical...I think it's more about the developers making as much money as possible with this development and I'm sure they will find a buyer...so this is what we get.

For that price point, I’d expect a real slate roof not those cheap asphalt tiles. Otherwise it’s pretty generic.
