[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not a fan of modern architecture but I liked #1. I think the builder did a really good job of bringing the outdoors in with the windows a la Frank Lloyd Wright. The windows will need covering for privacy Kind of surprised people don't like the pond, as I think that is a major draw. Imagine sitting on the balcony during a late summer afternoon and watching the fish jump and the swallows swooping over the water. Very entertaining, peaceful and rejuvenating. I didn't love the master bedroom with the weird fireplace setup. Shared driveways/private roads are dicey. It works so long as the neighbors are agreeable and cooperative. All it takes is one AH neighbor that wants to fight, and the shared driveway will become a source of strife. Ask me how I know. I was pleasantly surprised to find this tasteful home in McLean. I don't hang around McLean but the houses I've gone to over there are mostly older traditional colonials.[/quote] Comparing this home to **Frank Lloyd Wright** is like calling a cardboard box an artistic masterpiece. [/quote] This, there is nothing unique about the place. Also part of the problem is staging furniture not going well with the very modern lines. Whoever staged it sucked. You need completely different type of furniture to make the place shine, this looks like a corporate rental furniture. Also it’s not private enough, if you see too many other houses from your windows and will even when tree canopy is green, then you aren’t taking advantage of the huge windows, you will end up covering them up for privacy. It’s a good purchase for people with deeper pockets to afford to change the landscaping (plant thicker tree canopy) and a nice modern pool. Kind of surprised houses in this price rage do not have pools. Maybe it’s for those who decamp to their summer homes for the entire summer. :lol: [/quote] No room for a pool. There is a tiny, narrow patio and that’s it. [/quote]
