I can never understand the choice of a flat roof in this environment. Mainfloor layout is spartan and clean. Kitchen is meh but that is due to my dislike for the cabinetry.
Bedrooms are bland shoeboxes. Hope they used tempered glass for the deck as that railing is almost invisible. It appears that they also ran out of money for landscaping the front too.
This is one ugly house
Maybe so, but from my experience a flat tar roof can last as long if not longer than a tar shingle roof. I agree that for a perfect modern theme more could have been achieved to increase curb appeal, but when renovating, money runs out fast. 5 bedrooms and 5 baths, they have me sold! Gorgeous house!
