If you're on this list, you're probably looking at houses that cost $500k or more. Stuck on shutters and pavers seem like really cheap things to fix. If you fall in love with a house you might be willing to pay $10k or more to fix these problems.

For me, I don't like wall to wall carpet, granite counter tops, dark kitchen cabinets and upstairs laundry rooms.



Upstairs laundry rooms are the best!!


Yes, they are!


Why wouldn't someone like upstairs laundry rooms? Do you like having the workout of hauling your laundry up and down stairs?

I actually love that look. It has a beautiful faded quality that gives dimension to the lines of the house. But, to each his own, I guess.

Lawns filled with

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that fall on my nose and eyelasher
Silver white packages wrapped in string

No, wait, these are a few of my favorite things!

Agent here. Agents do that because "master bedroom" is sexist.

Gravel, of course. Jameson will rake it every morning, after he's done ironing the papers.

And what should their driveways be?

Keep in mind, a mil doesn't buy that much in this area.

When chimneys are wrapped in vinyl siding; when million dollar homes have poured concrete driveways or builder grade garage doors
