As long as you’re happy with your build and cost that is what counts . When you say high end interior materials I would have to disagree .

I like this house for the $ per square foot compared to other homes in Riviera and I like the pool .... don't like the view.


I like the view and price on this one but don't like that it does not have a pool or a place for one.... Really like the view and layout though.

Love that second home.

The new home style blows my mind. but tell that to our wives. They all want the White Kitchen, Grays everywhere, hotel lobby Tik Tok influenced garbage that their girlfriends send them. And its hard to convince them otherwise. As guys, we just say fuck it, make her happy. Last thing I got on my mind is decorating a house.

Cant wait for this fad to end.

Grays are going away pretty quick. It’ll be Hunter green in the 90’s in a few years. 😬. Lots of white and wood/wood tones.

I am still waiting for harvest gold and avocado to come back in style.🤣
I hope not! I just replaced the gold kitchen sink and appliances and avocado green toilet and sinks in my Dads house and he was not happy. He loved that stuff, but it was worn out after 50 years.

They could have fogged the entire wall. Cheap fcks.
I am curious as to why they even had to do stucco damage there. I would think they could frame the opening from the inside and then cut the plaster afterwards. I’ve seen it done that way before, but I’m not a contractor so maybe I’m just an idiot with an opinion.

they cut the opening for a taller door, then had to patch it in for a smaller door. For the money they are asking, that needs to be fixed.

Looks like they framed in a bigger door then installed the smaller door?

I agree that’s kind of what it looks like that I wonder why. Just seems odd to me. No matter what they did they should’ve blended the fix a hell of a lot better than they did. You would think the realtor would say fix that shit.🤣

I got lucky, mine hates all of that white museum esthetic bullshit.

I had a buddy who was building a house in Oklahoma, he let his girlfriend spec it out, all white everything of course. We were all sitting and talking about the house and he mentioned he didn’t care about the spec because he was going to tear all that cheap shit out anyways. The look on his girlfriend’s face was priceless.

He ended up backing out of the build and losing his deposit lol…

When I browsed through the houses I did not even notice until @HNL2HC pointed it out... It almost seems like the hardware and everthing were for a bigger door and then they went smaller; complete afterthought and looks like shit... they would definitely be fixing if I was buying; surprised they cheaped out.

This is also a great explanation why when ever we have an issue and have to go into an exterior wall and finished a quality GC will comment that the whole wall from corner to corner will have to be skimmed over get it to look right. Obviously the person that did a repair tried to get it done on the cheap. Personally I would have dropped the door to clear the rear door OR if you need the head room just put in a door and sidelight. Best of luck to the Realtor and seller. 👍

Although nice, these homes are way too rich for me. Looks like I’ll have to go be poor somewhere else.
