Ah "modern farmhouse." These already look so dated.

When you drive by a house being torn down and get a snootful of mold you understand why it's time to tear them down. Not all houses are maintained well enough to last.

The Livingston house that was demolished would have been torn down by everyone. It was tiny and in awful shape.

I already posted that I like them, so just elaborating -- they look sleek and a bit surprising. There is something jutting out or a bit shorter/longer in each of the facades that I find interesting. Everyone is different. I really hate the "monstrosities" in Bethesda that look completely dull and boring. I like these, tho.

A family with the surname “Demuren”. The agent who sells these, a guy by the name of Tami Demuren, is presumably the guy’s son.

The Foxhall house linked below is worse than the original examples.

I would love to live there. I don't understand what's going on in the back, though. Is that the back of the neighbor's house, with a twin Asian trellis?

I liked every single house you linked.

Most new construction is hideous. Builders just try to max out sq footage, aesthetics be damned. And the multi million 15,000 sq ft homes are no different. Scale is always off. The well-designed new build is a rare find.

insides look like glass and marble opulence and the outsides look like 1960s soviet Khrushchevka

DC needs to tighten up their height restrictions on new builds. These are way too tall vs neighbors. Ugly.

The third one is just ugly.

The third one reminds me of a 19th century hotel on the prairie where there may be poker and gunplay.
