That is beautiful. I wonder how they manage all that white when they appear to have kids though? That would stay clean for about ten minutes tops in my house.

I was thinking that, Zooms. There are no kids or dogs left in this house and it wouldn't stay like that for more than half an hour.

It's gorgeous, though.

Is that a porch? I’d call it a verandah and I want it sooooooo much :love:

Just the porch/veranda though. I’d ruin the rest of the house in about five minutes just by living in it.

It certainly does look very American. I particularly like the sofa thoughtfully placed so you can chill while you watch your laundry in the tumble dryer :))

(I have often wondered from browsing Zillow and the like - do upper-end property sales in the US always hire someone to dress the home for sale? So many of them have such similar, aggressively tasteful, furniture and ornaments - it just seems unlikely that there’s such homogeneity!)

I think staging is a big thing. I feel like I’d quite enjoy watching my washing.

Love this - bog standard suburban semi, needs modernisation. Then you see they've got a folly in the back garden - I wonder if it needed planning permission :mog:

Even with your description, I didn’t expect that!
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Wow, that’s so weird. I could live with it though, unlike the carpet.

I have space envy, though, especially the kitchen.

This is pretty inoffensive but they seem to be very fond of a spotlight or two, as well as LED lights!

Can I recommend the video tour to fully appreciate the total randomness of all this?

It really is a strange mishmash of a house!
