This is so beautiful, sleek and modern!

Honestly I think this is kind of cold and poorly designed. The spaces aren’t used to their advantages and the furniture choices are very odd.
I think it has potential to be warm, whoever moves in will bring their own personality to the house. The house has a unique design, subtly modern and urban look, very tastefully done. Thumbs up!!!!!!!
Dated. Very ’90’s feel.
