Check out this house!

[vegas]

Man, I love it. I need to change my search criteria so I don't keep getting drawn to houses out of our price range!

Meh. Sure, it's nice, but it just seems really big and way too beige for me. But if you love it, go for it.

It's not my style but I'm drooling at the price. I can't believe you can get that for 1.5 mil.

That's what gets me too! And the view. I think the view alone is worth a pretty penny. But I am not into that style decor. I don't like the modern look, I like a more traditional look. Doesn't really matter since I'm not going to be buying a 1.5 million dollar house anytime soon.

That master bath shower looks amazing!

LOL. It's not something I'm interested in purchasing, but I appreciate your approval. I think the custom details are over the top. But if I did have 1.5 mill and wanted to purchase, I'd definitely hire a painter.


ETA: Lovetrains, aren't you the one who was waiting on the short sale? We walked from one early last year and then the market picked back up. ;(

[LoveTrains]

Vegas, I got the short sale! Woot. We closed 11/7.

I know you have been looking for a long time, I am sure something will turn up for you soon!

Nice! I missed that pos t! I remember posting something really discouraging in response to your question about short sales, mainly because of what we were going through at the time. I'm so glad it worked out for you.

This house is more just house porn. Way over budget and too modern, but I'd kill for a home with that lot size (big for Vegas) and view. And I LOVE the sliding doors and windows that make for an indoor/outdoor living area.

I like it! The railing on the stairs is beautiful. And I would love to have that laundry room!

It's a little too Real Housewives of the OC for my tastes, but those views are incredible.

Not good to look at during a week when I've decided that we'll probably never be able to buy anything we'd actually want to live in in a neighborhood we'd actually want to live in!

[KaraOrNot]

It is nice, but I can't imagine decorating it. It would be so overwhelming.

[shopgirl07]

It does have a great view. But why is everything so brown? Brown, brown, brown. I just don't get it.

I hope you find something soon!

This 100%. And way too beige. The master closet is nice though!

v, I understand your pain; I have so many friends in the same situation. Some have resigned themselves to renting forever, some have scarily large mortgages, some have moved a little further out, and some have gone upstate. There's no perfect solution. Well, except for immense wealth. lol.

[goaskalice]

The view and balcony are amazing! The wet bar is the size of my current kitchen.

Gah Vegas I hope this is your year to find a house!
PS if some girls gtg in Vegas promise you'll try to meet up for a drink or two!

For sure! Are there actual dates in mind?

[thumper55]

thats totally a house I would be drawn to.

I like browns and earthy tones, not crazy about the backsplash in the kitchen though.

I like the tile, but I feel like it makes the house feel and look "cold"

I do not love it. It's very faux Tuscany or something. And all of the rooms look the same.

faux tuscany is totally a vegas thing I think. I see it everywhere we look! you would hate my pinterest inspiration board, jenny!

[karinothing]

If I still lived in Phoenix, that is somethign I would be drawn too lol. Although, we just visited back home and I realized how much I really hate tile floors. They wind up being cold and I feel like they make the entire house echo? I get that the point is for them to be cooler, but I don't know now that most houses i see are hardwood I like that way better.

I think most of my friends homes have a mix of tile and hardwood. I prefer cleaning and maintaining tile but I like the look of hardwood.

I didn't know you used to live in Phoenix!

lol, I thought this too. I'm surprised they haven't done a RHOV yet.

I like some of the custom features but I'm not crazy about the floors or the exterior.

[liveintheville]

I always picture mansions in vegas as having awesome outdoor living rooms and gigantic pools. I think I've seen too much hgtv.

Yeah, lived there for 24 years or so ;D I do agree that cleaning/maintaing tile is easier. I just was exhausted after I spent a week preventing DS from cracking his head open on my brother's tile floor lol. I think if we lived there I would put an helmet on him ha ha.

[Awkward]

$1.5 million home and no one bothered to polish the mammoth stainless steel fridge before they took the photos?

And I agree about the beigeness. I do like the kitchen cabinets, though.

This! I had the feeling of being inside a Tuscany McMansion.
