[quote=Anonymous]You also have to remember that the asthetic in 2005 was very much a category. For example, multiple peaks, stucco over stone and big blocky extrusions were common place. It wasn’t craftsman and it wasn’t farmhouse or colonial symmetrical. It was some weird morph of faux opulence and hyper-feature inclusion that didn’t make for a cohesive design. These homes built during the rise of the exurb; 2001-2006, were just extrapolating off of equally as dated examples built in the previous run up. It’s like how the Hummer2 was the peak SUV of this era. There are so few of these Potomac Mansions that have an aesthetic that transcends multiple decades or can be tastefully painted to modernize. It’s this lack of cosmetic resilience that ultimately caps their market value. It’s a big home. But Will always be slightly displeasing. Just like the H2. [/quote]
