Thoroughly Modern with Water Views...

Let me say at the outset that I absolutely adore this structure, the rooms, the stonework, the windows and so on and yet I absolutely detest the furniture selections, some of the use of wood and the overall way they've decorated it. This could have been a dream house...

I agree with your assessment 100%.  I would throw everything out and start all over!

@stevieb   The view makes the house -  the furniture is okay with me, but not arranged as was chosen either by a designer or the owners.

The only perk with this house are the spacious rooms.  I do not care for the furniture, too modern for my taste.  Also I would like more privacy.  The views are lovely though.

Ohnygosh.....I love love love this. I'd tweak a few things but love the overall look.

Agree, waste of what could be a beautiful space.  Nothing about the furnishing/decor appeals to me.  I like stone walls as I have 2 stone walls in my home, both natural stone more beautiful than that in this home.  Never would have picked this one.

 

I guess I just don't like modern.

The house is fine, except for the stone fireplace. I would have to change the stone. Too rustic for me.

The windows and stonework are beautiful. The floors are amazing. There are only a few elements inside that I like so completely agree with your comments. I will say the pool is spectacular...

Pick #3 gave me the willies.  All  I could think of was the house must be full of field mice, flies, ants, mosquitos, just plain old bugs with & w/o wings & all the other critters that occupies the woods.

I like almost everything about this place with the exception of the glass dining table and chairs.
