What is the point of a ‘water feature’ just inside a sliding door? I can imagine any buyer would certainly be getting ride of that if possible. The house looks like the developer ran out of money and is now listing the house well above market value to recoup his losses. Can’t imagine this selling anytime soon.
That water feature is an accident just waiting to happen.
I think it looks fantastic. I would love to have a home like that. Now,I need to find $2.7 million. I’d offer $1.2m and see what happens.
I would fill the water feature with ice and put my beer in it.
house of the week sucks. why are we maintaing unnecessarily lavish consumerist dreams?
What water feature?
here here.
maybe you too are looking at this on an ipad and its decided to edit the photos. no water feature, no lap pool (possibly one and the same). i like the beer idea, dont drink it so it would be more of a recyclable artwork a la tracey emin
i think the seller has realised being an indiv in the subs isnt all its cracked up to be…. come live in the center we’re all crazy.
What a horrible, cold and unpractical place! Seriously, who would live there? That hole, uh, water feature, is an accident waiting to happen! I can’t imagine who would need that much space… a family of 12 maybe?
Nice exterior–but for 2.6M, I wouldn’t think that I would wake up to look at a stock standard backyard–complete with crappy chain-link fence… just sayin’
Don’t forget to budget for window coverings when you move in so the neighbours (and raccoons)don’t amuse themselves by watching you tumble into the “water feature” on a regular basis. Also beware of the contemporary sinks in the bathrooms, those are the type that slosh water on your pants so you look like you’ve wet yourself :)
can you imagine if you just happened to see one of these houses featured after winning the lottery
I beloved as much as you’ll receive performed right here.
