As someone who loves historic houses, and who has owned very nice old houses of the 1910-1930s vintage, and who currently lives in a handsome 1930s colonial, I don't see what the anger is all about?

And, actually, I really like this house. The architects are clearly inspired by 1920s architecture and they've updated it to 2026 living. The layout is efficient for a prosperous modern professional family. The interior design is excellent, subtle, tasteful, easy on the eye. Yeah it's waspy for the 21st century, but it's nice. And it's also a great portfolio space for customizing to your own tastes.

My one argument with the design is that the exterior architecture is clearly modeled after a 1920s colonial cottage style house, when this house is much bigger and I would have gone with a different exterior design to match the scale. But this is a minor quibble. It's a handsome house. And it's better than 99% of the new builds I see out there. I would buy it if I was in the market. [/quote]

Agreed. I don't see the hate. It looks pretty nice! But I also prefer houses built between 1910-1940. Is it overpriced? Maybe. But it's not hideous like the OP implied. I was expecting a Falls Church or Potomac style McMansion.[/quote]
