ugh the front landscaping is horrible. I hate poodle-dogged shrubs.

are those glacial erratics

I'm noticing this type of shot in a lot of listings

meaning two of that exact style of lawn chairs, empty, seeming to gaze out blissfully across the landscape like an aging boomer couple in a viagra commercial

Related - The ''garden chair of solitude'' is a running bit on some of these blogs.

that blog fills me with dread

also those two photos would make a very good "What you think your retirement is going to look like / what your retirement is actually going to look like" meme

If I had a river (or a swamp or a pond or w/e) in my backyard, I'd put two chairs staring out on it too

xpost ha ha

I know this thread is for lulz, but I need somewhere to post this house, which is so fucking dope

And not that I have anything close to the scratch for it, but after looking at 100 awful $2.5 million homes, $1.2 million to live in a fucking beautiful work of art that's walking distance from a train to new york city seems like an amazing deal.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 01:53 (four years ago) link

IDK if I can even afford furniture that won't be embarrassed to be in that house

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 01:55 (four years ago) link

i love that house

call all destroyer, Thursday, 14 May 2020 01:56 (four years ago) link

and i know nothing about the area but it does seem like a good deal!

call all destroyer, Thursday, 14 May 2020 01:57 (four years ago) link

I guess maybe because it's "only" 2150 sf, and most rich people are disgusting savages who would rather live in a 4500sf monstrosity that looks like someone just cut and pasted the same architectural element ten times and then stretched some of them. The important thing is for a house to have more space than you can possibly use and 37 windows on the front

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 02:04 (four years ago) link

it’s so beautiful

but as normal lowkey homeowner, having that many windows would stress me out re: furniture placement. and electronics w cables!

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 14 May 2020 03:10 (four years ago) link

Would have to repaint/refinish all that yellow in the kitchen + dining room. Also not sure where the home offices are going to go for the many “new normal” con calls

El Tomboto, Thursday, 14 May 2020 03:15 (four years ago) link

no way the yellow is tite

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 03:24 (four years ago) link

it’s not going to go with anything with a natural wood finish. It pretty much only goes with white or other saturated ikea plastic stuff

El Tomboto, Thursday, 14 May 2020 03:28 (four years ago) link

ok plaid chucks

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 03:33 (four years ago) link

All my chucks are carefully curated to go with multiple outf OK lol

El Tomboto, Thursday, 14 May 2020 04:50 (four years ago) link

in seriousness I think the yellow works really nicely with wood as illustrated in the photos

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 04:54 (four years ago) link

It’s important to have a diversity of viewpoints in the conversation

El Tomboto, Thursday, 14 May 2020 04:57 (four years ago) link

all the modern stainless steel appliances do not work with that yellow and what they were going for. also the bathrooms are terrible. But the actual house is very nice.

I like to look at all the mcm places for sale in Palm Springs and Palm Desert and have to regularly look at the temp in the summers there to keep me from thinking about it too hard.

Yerac, Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:11 (four years ago) link

Also Tarrytown ---.^ SleepyHollow!

Yerac, Thursday, 14 May 2020 14:12 (four years ago) link

That house is super lovely. I could work with the yellow kitchen just fine. And yeah the little towns all up the east side of the Hudson are the quaintest imaginable! I've had thoughts about Ossining although Sing-Sing being there is a bummer.

There's more Italy than necessary. (in orbit), Thursday, 14 May 2020 15:45 (four years ago) link

tarrytown is awesome. great house.

treeship., Thursday, 14 May 2020 16:00 (four years ago) link

i went to the farmer's market there once and talked to people from the historical society. would have joined if i lived in the town.

treeship., Thursday, 14 May 2020 16:01 (four years ago) link

How is that house so cheap!? $1M for a house like that within spitting distance of NYC?

Dan I., Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:16 (four years ago) link

There has got to be something wrong with that house, in that location, at that asking price

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:38 (four years ago) link

The house is fine and clearly well-designed, and the ceilings are particularly lovely, but to be the voice of dissent I don't think I'd like to live in it. Open plan sleek modernity might look nice, but I can't ever imagine it working with how I live.

emil.y, Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:43 (four years ago) link

there are a lot of nice/large houses in the 1mil range in Westchester. Taxes.

Yerac, Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link

Maybe there's structural damage from when Cameron's dad's Porsche went through the window

Dan I., Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:45 (four years ago) link

oops, Ferrari

Dan I., Thursday, 14 May 2020 18:46 (four years ago) link

With that much land? That house in close-in DC would be *spitballs* oh 3+M

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:11 (four years ago) link

I guess it isn't exactly close in. But still. Something not quite right there, beyond the yellow kitchen (which is not ideal but I could deal y'know)

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:12 (four years ago) link

Yerac is right. The high property taxes in NYS depress asking prices. Same thing in New Jersey I hear. Not so much in Connecticut (where I used to live).

Boring, Maryland, Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:15 (four years ago) link

yeah, like my old boss paid basically the same price for her mcmansion in scarsdale as i got for my super shitty trump sr rowhouse in brooklyn.

and tarrytown is cute but it is more village-y, not a lot going on. and the metro-north doesn't seem within walking distance.

Yerac, Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:18 (four years ago) link

i like the house and the yellow (and the potfiller above the stove!), but yeah i would not live in it. beautiful location, though. property taxes are the worst. i am so often thinking of what an expensive house i could live in in another county just because i'd be paying less than a third of the taxes i pay now.

forensic plumber (harbl), Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:20 (four years ago) link

oh wait it's a 30 minute walk. not that bad.

Yerac, Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:23 (four years ago) link

Maybe those of us who like it can pool our money and all live in it together? Great deal like that won't last!

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 19:48 (four years ago) link

sure, i will pay $1000

forensic plumber (harbl), Thursday, 14 May 2020 20:06 (four years ago) link

nooo, let's pool money for one of those palm springs mcm motels. there will be at least 10 rooms and a pool.

Yerac, Thursday, 14 May 2020 20:07 (four years ago) link

Still hoping we get the little Hastings house we put an offer on. Waiting on this dumb shit with the building inspector and the seller's contractor.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 14 May 2020 20:17 (four years ago) link

I have a yellow kitchen. It’s the perfect kitchen colour. 💛

Do you like Fun & Adventure?

Wim/Robot (doo dah), Monday, 18 May 2020 21:02 (four years ago) link

how is that all in there

ciderpress, Monday, 18 May 2020 21:07 (four years ago) link

My answer to that question today is "no."

pplains, Monday, 18 May 2020 21:08 (four years ago) link

Wonder how much of that conveys though?

"Used to have a Nostromo feel up here, but the previous owner took all the robots with him."

omg the beach room
only $156k!
