This thread is fascinating. Are garages/driveways snot allowed in front or did the builder just maximize space? The house is beautiful but I would be so frustrated as the owner with lack of easy access and as a neighbor with the light pollution.

Terrible. No way. Way too much work to make this even remotely nice.

Oh no you should read. When the developer sweeps in it gets good.

Short version: 3.3mil for house without garage or a shed in a neighborhood with garages and sheds.

Actually, that’s not really it. The primary issue is the developer promised parking off an alley he doesn’t have. That’s the real issue. The design flaws (loft, fixtures, not kid friendly, noise issues with wide open/two story living and concrete floors, very little storage, no storage or path for garbage cans, no irrigation, and other issues are just icing on the cake.

So true.

And don't post Relator.com links you Heathens!

If the developer had just put the house on the market without the promise of off street parking, he likely would have already sold. There is plenty of street parking in this neighborhood and the majority of people don’t use the garages they have. Who wants to drive down an alley, unload from your car, walk all the way up the back on grass (no path) to your basement door and then up a flight of stairs to the main part of the house? No one. The new owners will park on the street in front, like everyone else.

TL;DR: No one should buy this house (and it appears to be off the market now) until the alley/parking issue is resolved (even though street parking is not an issue in this neighborhood).

Houses on 32nd Street facing the back of 6455 Barnaby have a terrible light show every night and all night long. Every room on all three floors has all the very bright lights turned on. Illuminating the area and looking like an all-glass 3-story retail store, they are very disrespectful of the neighbors and waste an enormous amount of electric energy.

The views out most of the bedroom windows appear to be of the neighbor’s roof or directly into the windows of the neighboring homes? Hard pass for me but I know plenty of people don’t care

Plainly the house shouldn’t be on the market with incomplete and unresolved parking circumstances
