Wow. I hate that house.

Just pointing out two things. Subway tiles can be expensive. It depends on the quality of the tiles.

There are also baseboards. Just very thin ones.

The style is quite minimalistic yet classical. I must say I do approve of it even if I also agree it's a bit cold with the current staging. I'd be adding some color if I owned the house. Not wall colors but in the furniture. I have some pieces of beautiful golden mahogany furniture that would look quite well in that house and add softer colors to round off all the white.

People who are spending 4.2 million will have staff to keep the house clean.

It looks very Restoration Hardware. I like the staging, it is very well done. I could not imagine myself living like that. I am not fancy enough.

People are brainwashed into believing simplicity (it's actually being cheap) is stylish. It's not. It's ugly, cold and of course cheap.


That is super cheap!!

“Cold” keeps coming up. Kind of the same way other people’s large diamonds are always “gaudy” but your smaller ones are just right. That’s what we tell ourselves to validate our lot in life.


There are nicer houses on that street that were built by seasoned and creative architects - I’d wait for one of those, especially at this price point

Real estate agents push ‘white’ and ‘neutral’ down your throat but with so much white like in this house you can’t even tell what you are looking at because it all looks the same. All of the rooms look the same and it’s hard to get any kind of I feel for the house.

way too much white subway tile everywhere, very odd small rooms, gravel driveway wtf. this is terrible, why would you put in stucco when the house was just built, customize way too much the wrong way... but I agree, this is priced right for the area

So disappointed when I clicked on the link, OP. The facade is cold and severe. Blargh.

Literally no color or personality there. The house is cold an sterile.
