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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

The listing style of that Fun & Adventure house, constantly zooming out on each photo, could not be more annoying
Island house - well, at least you'd be safely quarantined there...

Wasn't until it was animated that I noticed the patio furniture way up in the background by the house. Nice touch.

the filters these photographers use for real estate photography are out of control

they layer a lot.

it's HDR, right?
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:01 (four years ago) link
when the photographer who worked for c0c0r4n came to take pics of my place she said they take multiple frames of the same shot and then layer them all to get that saturation.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:36 (four years ago) link
maybe that was just her method? but it seems that certain brokers have the same style/color on their sites for all the listings.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 20:37 (four years ago) link
yah its mostly just extreme HDR but they do some other tricks too
