I have been looking at a lot of real estate listings recently and was complaining about too much grey. I think I found an antidote.
So much brown
I remember so many houses like this. Very nostalgic feel. I bet many a delicious meal came out of that kitchen. Whilst the brown is not to my taste, todayβs endless palette of grey is soul sucking least people used to put some personality into their houses before.
geebus the decor is the worst of the 70s
paint and spanish furniture and it might look ok
that doona cover is straight from the 80s
I was trying to concentrate on whether the layout etc. would work if updated, and my brain just kept short circuiting with brick overload.
I think with a few fairly minor changes it would work quite well, but definitely in need of updating.
The bedroom that only opens to the carport looks like it would be dark. But the layout is ok....so so brown though. I love myself a bit of exposed brick but...man
The layout of the lounge /dining area is very bad. The fireplace is mental.
One good thing about all those bricks is it really shows how distorted some of those camera angles are...
I'm glad they usually include plans with measurements these days, it makes it much easier to figure out how much space there really is. I spent some time with a tape measure around my place figuring out some comparisons and minimum room sizes I am looking for which should hopefully cut down on some wasted time inspecting places.
I bet it's solid!
Very solid - but I would have concerns about that much brick holding the heat/cold. Depending on how the rest of the design works it could be a major issue or a major benefit having that much thermal mass.
The bathroom and the canary yellow benchtops - errk.
