Irrational things that turn you off about a house

[Anonymous]

I hate stacked (vs offset) tile. Unless I had the budget to demo and retile, I'd strongly consider passing on a place because of that.

Hollow core doors. Especially the ones that are like fake wood veneer and start separating at the bottom and snagging the carpet.

Bathtubs facing the toilet. It just kills that "spa" vibe.

Note, I have a tiny house, so "spa" just means I can close the bathroom door and my kids don't knock.

Yes I HATE this.

Vaulted ceilings. They make a room look cold and tacky.

Most any house that is younger than me. Kitchen sinks in a corner. Insufficient windows in the main living areas. Location; boonies, busy roads. Brass colored hardware. Hard tile floors.

Sure, some of these can be fixed. These things are just a turn off that puts me on the wrong foot.

Primary closets that are off of the ensuite.

Having a whole side of your house with no windows (bathrooms and closets are usually stacked to one side in this instance).

All of the turnoffs listed here so far are rational so don't apply to OP.

Except the bathtub on the first floor thing. That is irrational.

Could someone please explain the hatred for cooktops in the island?

Can only think of one home I've visited/cooked in with this setup, and I'm not sure what the issue is?

The mess expands and the ones I’ve seen have a huge drop down vent over the island, which is an eyesore.

To have no yard work.

And outdoor space? No thanks.

Being asked to "sign in" and provide personal contact information to an agent.

Ah, got it. The one I used had a surface vent between the burners (which I realize is fairly useless). But as a non-fan of the current trend of huge-vent-as-focal point, I would not love that.

This is stupid, and you do not know the meaning of tacky.

I have what feels like an irrational hatred toward California closets.
