An enthusiastic "yes" to the exterior!! And a big "no" to the interior.

It has "curb appeal" although personally I don't like 2 story homes. Agree with previous poster--interior is a big no.

Nice to look at--but a big NO for me---no more stairs!!! Had a 2 story ------no more stairs!!!

I like the exterior and could live with the Living Room if the yellow chairs were removed and the pillows were changed.

The Dining Room would have to be totally redecorated. I can't get past those overpowering drapes

@DREAMON And the jumbo portrait on the wall. Just too much.

My favorite style home that I, being from East Coast would be called a Center Hall Colonial. They were very prevalent in my town.

The interior does not enhance the interior or style of the home. I would purge the interior including paint and start over.

At this point of my life I am happy with no stairs, but I love this home.

I feel the same way....beautiful exterior and I would imagine the backyard to have a lovely patio with an outdoor kitchen and maybe a pool.

To me, it looks like a lot of nice elements were just stuck on. Willing to bet it was owner designed.

What is it with the black gutters?

Love the living room. To me, the living room and dining room don't look like they are from the same home??

it looks like the White House. It's a little too grand for me. I can't remember the last time I entertained a Head of State.

The inside is a little too formal for me. I love all of the big windows. I don't like the look of heavy drapes.

This design is all over my area, nothing screams unique or special to me. I guess they think the portrait makes them look "wealthy" but it just looks cheap to me.

Beautiful house.....but those paintings people hang of themselves with or without their children or a spouse are SO SO SO tacky and narcissistic. That mom & child painting is revolting.

@Linda0215 - your post made me giggle. First thing I thought of when I looked at the pictures was the White House.

I can't remember the last time when I entertained a head of state either, but I have a heating and air guy come over tomorrow morning.

Looks very stately from the outside, but I couldn't live with those two rooms.

I don't care for this style too much! I do like two story homes, but this is just ok. Do not like the interior at all....Do like the French Doors in the 1st pic though!

I'm not a fan of the exterior. It looks very nice, it's just not my style. I'd prefer something that isn't all white and so formal looking. I like the interior spaces and all the windows, but I don't care for furnishings. Way too formal & elegant for me.

The exterior is beautiful and stately even if isn't a style that I gravitate towards. The interior has some beautiful architectural elements but these two rooms (and I'm assumming most of the rest of the house) would require a total overhaul in terms of furniture and decor.
