[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thing has been for sale since we moved here 3 years ago. We looked at it then. They have not reduced the price. There is NO OUTDOOR SPACE at all. No where to play soccer or sit on a patio or put a basketball hoop. Most people who want a big house in MD, even close in MD, want at least a some outdoor space.  It's not close enough to the metro or restaurants to make up for the lack of a yard or other suburban amenity.  It's a city house in the suburbs.

Also the floor plan is crazy. It is set up so the entire bottom level is an apartment. So the living space is actually like 3000 square feet with a separate apartment added on. It's difficult to image who wants to pay $2.5 million for this layout. That price point is too high for someone who is needs a renter to help with the mortgage.

The inside is dark and strangely decorated. It's a very idiosyncratic style. And it is directly on Wisconsin with zero buffer vegetation. Not one tree or bush or tiny shrub to  provide a shred of privacy or otherwise soften the fact that the house sits like 10 feet from a pretty busy/loud road. If you lived here you would have to have the blinds drawn on the entire front of the house 24 hours a day.  Say goodbye to daylight. If your kid's room happens to face the front of the house, they'll never see the sun or sky. Again, who wants to pay this much for that?

The fact that this house has been offered again and again at the same price over the last 3 years is puzzling. Why do they not lower the price if they really want to sell it? But I would not buy it at any price. It's too big for a couple or single person, yet it's not designed for a family. It's a big house but not designed for entertaining. It has many bedrooms, but no place for children to play. It's not a mystery why it has been sitting, and sitting, and sitting for literal years. [/quote]

I'm the PP that started the recent thread about this house.

BRAVO. You have eloquently put my thoughts into words. I appreciate it.

Damn, I wish someone knew the backstory though! Was it built by lottery winners from a third world country? Was it designed in Minecraft?[/quote]
