[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh I was just asking about [b]how important a double oven is and if those 2 range options could be a substitute[/b]. I am not looking into doing much renovating and am looking at this one that's in mclean school district

Well that's not really what you asked.  You asked if it would be a dealbreaker.  And honestly when you're talking about spending $1.5 million on a house, it sounds extremely silly to suggest that something so easily remedied could be a dealbreaker.  I mean really, how much could it possibly cost to add another oven to the existing configuration?  $5K, $10K at the absolute high end?  And you'd consider foregoing a $1.5 million house you like just for that reason??[/quote]

This poster had it right.  If the replacement of the oven to a double oven cost, say, $50,000, which is astronomical, it is only 3% of the total costs.  The $5,000 or $10,000 seem like the more reasonable price.  $10K out of $1.5 million = 0.6%, or, barely more than half of 1 percent.  Thus, is it a deal-breaker? Of course not!  However, if you ask the realtor to eat the replacement cost, then the deal might be broken! C'mon OP and people, the oven is never a deal-breaker on $1.5mm.  [/quote]
