It’s even weirder because there’s a Whole Foods like right around the corner/down the trail.

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



Good catch! Looks cheap

OP, you've clearly had years of bad dreams. Seek help!

Gray, white, greige and black.

Yuck.

Poorly staged flip, or do the owners simply lack any taste?

Bathrooms look cheap.

Thank you. That made me snort-laugh. (Obviously I am not worthy to live in Le Palais Gris.)

That's obviously a purposeful pile of things, like a baseball bat and a fencing foil, that can be used to rough up:
-the builder
-the agent
-the stager

Oh I hate it. I hate the cement-looking outside (like updated stucco, which was just awful) and I abhor the drab Restoration Hardware catalog interior. It looks depressing to me.

Agree with PPs: the staging is awful. Not a $4.3 million house, at least not for me!

It looks like Chip and Joanna came in to do the decorating. Not what I would pay $4.3 Million for.

Everything is just so boxy and big. Yuck.

Also, at this price I'm expecting a damn pool. The landscaping and exterior is really a let down for $4m+. I expect outdoor living areas, an outdoor, kitchen, built-in grill and exquisite masonry, pool, etc.


More comments:
The roof does not appear to be slate. COME ON. So many homes in Kenwood have the classic slate roof and this builder appears to have skipped that detail. At $4m you better have a f#cking slate roof in Kenwood.

The home is lacking thoughtfully considered details. I'm not seeing the little touches that make buyers of a $4m home fall in love with it. For example, the 2nd floor landing at the top of the stairs. It's just empty space...no consideration by the developer to make this a usable space. Where are the built-in bookshelves or storage?

Zero window coverings in this home. The developer should be providing window covering design services for whomever buys this house. It will need at least $30K in window coverings.

This is a $2.7m house parading as a $4.3m home. I'm not seeing any recent comps (in last 2 years) that support this price.


Slate is terrible, I would pay to remove it. I would request Tesla roof or stick with architectural shingles..
