Wow! I wish I had the money to remodel this place. Great "bones"! (And, I love that staircase.) What do you think of the bench seating around that one fireplace? |

it's pretty, but i'm not sure where to sit. do I squeeze in between the two layers of cushions and crouch there, or leap up on top of the top cushion? i'm not metropolitan enough, I suppose. I just hope the hostess never invites me to "sit down" Neither. That's the back of the couch. Look over by the lamp to see the perfectly normal part you sit on. |

That's enormous and way out of my pretend price range! I do like the two backyard views over the water and the 4 car garage though. That's the kind of house I would go tour just for fun.
Anything about half the size that you like?

Nice. Craftsmen homes are cool. I think there's a bunch near Parsippany NJ. |

I like this one better than the other. Almost looks like part church from the front. The snow pic however reminds me it is Canada. Maybe I should look at Vancouver homes for fun one of these days... |

Ack, I must stop looking at houses. I just found a beautiful Craftsman in Mountain Lakes on the lake ... with a wine cellar.

So these are from an actually reasonably priced home in the Seattle area (sold for $472k). I love the ceilings, and I have always wanted the pull out shelves in the kitchen...

I'm a sucker for exposed brick.
Lol, we have a picture of brick on our brick wall in our kitchen! It's a photo hubs took in college and had in protective wrap for years.

I love the location and exterior, but I'm pretty let down by the interior design: www.weichert.com/65909665/First of all, how does a house this big only have 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms? Second, I feel like they could have done more with the kitchen area. And I'm not a big fan of the bar concept. Also, I feel like the windows in the bedrooms and bathrooms could have been bigger and better. ETA: never mind - the bedroom windows were nice enough, but everything about the bathrooms is crap. It's basically a giant vacation rental. Hoo boy, I'd have to gut pretty much the entire house and start over. |

is McMansion Hell taking suggestions?  www.weichert.com/67954360/1. why does the foyer and living room look like a hotel lobby? 2. the kitchen is big, but not big enough to put an island or a table in the middle... so just lots of space for no reason. 3. the bathrooms need no words 4. the bedrooms need no words |

So far I spy an ear and a nose in the decor. |

This house has an open house this weekend. It is 3/2.75/2200 sqft. It is listed at over $1mil. For the most part, I would not say this house is worth $1mil. But I can show you exactly why they think they'll get it. (And they probably will.)

Honestly, I just want this back porch (lower and upper levels).

This 4/2/2721 house also has a front porch and upper balcony that I love - for under $900k. Plus, just for some of the folks here, the bathtub is not in the middle of the room or right next to a window.

For some of our posters, this single room makes this house worth the $5.5mil asking price...
