Nice but not for the money
As I said... I'm wondering if the cost included land. Not lakeFRONT, but still in a desirable
area which is seeing much new construction. I'm sure all the technology and structural
efficiencies did not come cheap, either. (But when is the cost/benefit break-even point?...
is it even within his lifetime? He's 67.)
My nutshell takeaway
if it was *me*:
Interior is all A-OK by me except kitchen layout. The kitchen sink is part of an island. And
the sink is TINY. Small small small!!!
I don't think a large casserole dish would sit flat for
soaking. The sink should
always be put in front of a window.
I would have put the range
in the island with an overhead hanging vent system. I did not see a utility sink anywhere, not
even in the laundry or ground level. GOTTA have me one of those. And three full baths (all
with showers) is overkill for 2 bedrooms. The "visitors" bathroom needs only a sink and
crapper. Other than that, I'd live there.
Exterior is quite the opposite.
We all have our priorities and his is low-low maintenance
and I-don't-need-to-be-outdoors. Me: dress up the structure, a LOT. Add actual lawn 30-
50 feet immediately around the house. OK, maybe not the back... how would it be mowed?
And if not a ground-level patio/deck (massive, I mean BIG), then an elevated deck off the
main living level. There is that view, and to have no way to really enjoy it during the brief
time we call "summer" here is a crime. And no provisions at all for gardens?!?! Deal-breaker
right there.
The end.
