All the pictures have the caption of “[room] from similar property.” Now we know why.

I live around the corner front his house, and it is not even built yet. The wood is up, but it looks NOTHING like that! It is bare bones with no windows or doors.

This house is preposterously over-priced.

If it is new construction, how can it be a flip?

A lot of these new houses are from a standard design, so there might be finish or quality concerns, but the house is assembled on a standard process using the same layout and components. Looks nice, but I would nitpick about the front walk, which is typically wider in a city than they installed.

And since it is new construction you can pretty much guarantee there were a few cut corners.

I know what you mean but when they can’t deliver even 1 photo of the actual place then this is too premature, in my opinion.

I wonder where the flipper cut corners

Meh. Not my cup of tea. If I wanted to buy a house like this I would go to the burbs, not Petworth. I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes for asking price or a little under.

Ha! + 100. I kinda see that being useful for someone who’s washing their dog (or their kids!) and will not be getting into the tub. All the same, they could have put them flush against the shower wall.

I love all the drama of the design — something missing from most new construction — but NEVER put a wine rack next to the oven.

Yes, I own how petty I am.
