This comment on the Gaston comment are why I still read DCUM. Brilliant.

Thomas Kinkade would never.

This is the Langley area, right? Gross.

Not my cup of tea but one thing for sure- I'm not paying that much for a house without a pool.

This is so ugly. OMG.

How is a private indoor basketball court not sustainable? It takes no energy to run and has no carbon emissions beyond that exhaled by ballers breathing hard while playing

looks like it sold at a massive discount to listing.

What’s stunning about it? Asking sincerely. There’s not one room I could stand to be in for a day, and I’m not sure what would be exceptional if you stripped out the ghastly furnishings and fixtures.

+1, I think it’s awful and vulgar. Plus you are one home away from bust Georgetown Pike and the madness of Langley high school students, parents, and buses there trying to squeeze in off the two-lane G’town Pike into the Langley parking lot for drop-off from 6:30-8:30 and 2:45-5:00 every weekday. No thanks

A lot of focal points and shapes and carvings and animals. Lions and tigers and bears oh my. But I can't afford the garage, so hat off to the seller and buyer. Please invite me over.

Why are there two twin beds in one room? Can you imagine if you lived in this gargantuan house and had to share a bedroom with a sibling? Hopefully it was just a guest room.

“I wanted [the house] to be more authentic. I didn’t want it to have a bright shiny new kitchen like everyone else … I wanted it to look older.”


“I must have done my job,” Maria notes of the finished design, as she reflects on guests who step into the seven-bedroom, seven-full-bathroom house and comment that it’s “so warm and inviting!”

It’s definitely giving Disney Adult anyway

You’d have to strip that house down to the studs and completely redo to get me to live there. In its current state you could not pay me $10 million to live there.
