God bless and good luck to the new owners. At least it’s a lovely neighborhood and street.
And a beautiful home. Good luck new owners on your beautiful new home! I'm sorry your new neighbors are so judgmental.
Neighbors are welcoming and wonderful. Once they get past the developer and realtor they will a great addition to the neighborhood. Welcome!

Yeah, I think people will let it go as soon as the new people move in. They don’t have to like the house to like the neighbors.

There is no way I would pay more than 3M for house - just so my neighbor (less than 3 feet away) can peek from their window straight into my bedroom.

I actually think the exterior is cool. If the windows matched and it were on a wooded lot 3x the size, it might be nice. Also if said lot had a driveway you could use to take the trash out.

1) the main staircase by the entry has an awkward column. I’m not sure what the right way to deal with it would be. Probably to just suck it up and enclose the staircase. Having the column jammed behind the metal bannister isn’t working for me.
2) there is a hall/pantry thing between the front parlor and the kitchen area. It should have pocket doors. Those doors are going to be such a PITA. A big mistake that will be difficult if not impossible to remedy. $50 says the new owners just take the doors off.
3) I don’t know the answer to this but while I don’t necessarily dislike the overlooking basement family room thing, it does look like a noise problem. People touring the house should stand in both spaces and talk loudly and see how it feels.
4) It is SO close to the houses next to it. With absolutely no architectural consideration taken. The windows in several bedrooms look like mistakes. The poor people in the neighboring houses. Just awful. It’s just clear that a person who doesn’t care about anything or anyone built this house.
Absolutely, 100%. So sad! What a waste of a fabulous neighborhood and property.
All four issues are legitimate and number 4 is definitely the most compelling. The windows in the house don’t even match - even in the same room. It’s non-sensicle, like an after thought. The sides and back of the house have the same issue. No design, no interest, no character, just a big box. A kindergartner could have designed it better. A complete fail.
I'm sorry, but have you all seen the new builds in DC? They're terrible "craftsman" style mcmansions . This at least is trying to modernize a beautiful old house. The exterior is beautiful, the kitchen is higher end and more interesting than a normal kitchen, and I really like the open basement (although I have no idea how it will work acoustically).
Let’s be clear this is not a modernized beautiful old house. That may actually have been nice, if the developers had the foresight and design integrity to do something like that with the old original house. That is not the case here. The old original house is 99% gone, this is a new build on part of an old foundation. There may be two original interior walls, otherwise it was a tear down. This is a “Tudor” style McMansion front with box store sides and back.

The intense feelings this house has provoked is really bizarre.
