This house in Cleveland Park was called "Best new home in DC"

[Anonymous]

See for yourself. Cleveland Park is the logical extension, IMHO, for someone with kids who wants walkable and urban but wants space.

Didn't we already go over this house?

Is this a new build?
Do not like the kitchen lights.

Called "best new home" by whom?

[Anonymous]

awful

I like a lot of things about it. And the general idea. But way way too huge (and $$!). No need for separate MBAs.

LOTS of stone out front. Maybe they need to have the landscaper come back to soften it up.

We need the scaled down $1-2M version for the "common man".

Sure. I'd snap it up if I had a spare $6.5 mil.

Yes, it was built in 2014. There are a couple of things I would've done differently in the kitchen, but overall this is the most tasteful new build I have seen almost ever - there was one in Chevy Chase Village recently, maybe on Newlands St., that also was lovely. And this is coming from someone who hates new construction generally.

I live in 1200 sq feet currently. I want more space. Ideally, i'd like 2000-2250 sq ft. I cannot IMAGINE needing SEVEN THOUSAND square feet. Unless I had two kids PER bedroom in that giant house, I'd be pissed to have to heat and cool that much. Even if I had that kind of cash to drop on a house (which I don't, obvs) that isn't the kind of place I'd pick.

This looks old and dated for a new build. Not a good idea unless you want the old look but if you did why not just buy an old home.

We moved from 1300 SF house to a 6000 SF house. Our heating and cooling bills went up about 30 a month.

A new looking house in that area would stick out like a sore thumb.

I would rather have a unique looking new house than be part of the crappy old communist all the same look.
