[quote=Anonymous]As many have noted, so much is cheap/builder grade. Subway tile that doesn’t bother to go to the top of the wall. Subway tile generally (I don’t believe for a second that this is “expensive” subway tile, as someone noted, given that they used it in every freaking room, for one). Cheap closet fittings.  Flooring suspect. No slate roof.

Hence my bottom-line problem with this house: If you see cheap tile, cheap shelves, cheap floor, cheap roof, etc., you don’t want to know what’s behind the walls. In the utlitiy room. In the HVAC. In the plumbing. In the structural support. In the attic. In the insulation. This type of cheaping out happens in this price range all the time.  A builder swoops in, does a tear down, paints everything white and gray and neutral and trendy, and the unsuspecting buyer ends up with massive structural problems. Or mold. Or shoddy windows. Or energy inefficiency.  Or all of the above. The builders just move on.

Also, I know the whole thing is white and gray, necessitating dark mullions in the windows, but are we done with dark mullions yet? In a few houses they work and add depth. In others, they just look dark and dated. Am I the only one who generally hates this “trend”? [/quote]
