i love your house. I am still not into these 70s colors yet.

PS I am always always looking at houses.

I love that house!

I would leave as is, just take up the carpets etc. im a sucker for original bathrooms, kitchens, etc. and agree, i love your house too, so wouldnt move here if i had yours!

Oh, wow … stunning inside and out! (I’m another fan of your house, too.)

Yes, it’s no secret I love looking at houses. :D

Thank you all for the compliments on my house! I won't deny that I have a little bit of Napoleon house ceiling syndrome - I have 8 foot ceilings and it seems all the homes that are replacing the older homes in my neighborhood have very tall ceilings. But I love my house too! I feel like it's just perfect for the birds and dogs. :)

I'm glad to hear other people also love exploring other homes online!

I see the appeal of this one, but much prefer yours. I like the scale of your rooms, to say nothing of the gorgeous interior decoration you've done.

Wow! What a fabulous house! But the green carpet in the bathroom has to go.

I like the house from ankle level up, and I could probably live with everything else as is as long as it worked. Even the mauve cabinets in the laundry room.

For various reasons not a single flooring material currently in that house works very well and it might be hard to find an all purpose tile that does work throughout.

This would be a difficult house to furnish because it needs big contemporary/art deco-revival/ slightly transitional furniture full on designs from the late 70s - mid 80s, and not much else will look right.

It's so spacious and grand - too bad the tile looks kind of icky, tho. 1983 is kind of surprisingly recent for such architectural style. I think the tile definitely looks 1980s.

I think the house is really too big for the typical person to even know how to furniture properly. The current furniture is mostly the wrong scale and looks incredibly cheap sitting around these spaces.

It may not be incredibly cheap furniture, but the house is making it look that way.

And what sometimes happens is these houses get furnished in some sort of bombastic large scale hotel lobby fashion and that's not right either.

Although they are both modernist houses, your current house and this one really have different pedigrees. Your house is one of those glass boxes that could be almost empty inside and it would still look natural.

This house needs that gigantic Michael Taylor furniture from the early 80s.

With the tile floors, expanses of glass and brick, and high ceiling it looks very echo-y, though that could be remedied with the right materials and placement. Otherwise I quite like it. Yeah, elements are dated but I think I could live with the kitchen and bathrooms.

That's a beautiful house--- but it's also a good PSA reminder that white is the best color for bathroom fixtures. Rockybird, I too love your house..... we haven't seen in in a long while, hint hint!

The current furniture is mostly the wrong scale and looks incredibly cheap sitting around these spaces.

I find the chairs facing the fpl highly amusing. They look like a posse that escaped from a conference room and are just hiding out in this empty staged house, waiting till some surly office manager wrangles them and makes them go back.

Lol, Mtn, I thought it looked like parents lined them up for their kids to find out who broke the kitchen window. Let the inquisition begin!

@Kswl @Zalco/bring back Sophie! thank you! I will need to post photos. I’ve just gotten lazy and not finished decorating. The remodel was such a horrendous experience that I think I needed a mental break. But I’m almost there!

@mtnrdredux_gw LOL that is funny! they do look funny lined up like that. What were they thinking?

@cyn427 (z. 7, N. VA) Thak you! :) That makes my day!

@palimpsest Maybe some classic herman miller and knoll furniture might look good? but maybe everything would look minature?

I don’t like the master. I don’t like the room at the windows. I don’t like that it’s a partial wall.

I think most classic Knoll and Herman Miller furniture would be too small and lightweight for this house. RH Modern is probably the scale but not sure if it's quite the right style.

The house is a bit bossy style wise.

Partial walls in the MBR are a no go for me also..

I LOVE IT! even the mauve laundry room.

The partial wall in the master is weird though. I think I would just share that area with my husband as an office/hobby space, and the divided off window area makes it perfect for that.

I used to own that white leather couch. The floor lamp, I owned in 1985. The striped cushions are on my outdoor swing seats. It looks a lot like my old house. I like it a LOT!

I HATE these ads that have 10 pictures from different angles of the same space. MOVE ON!!! Where is the drone aerial photo???? How can you be obsessed then have to change sooo much of it. What you want is to build your dream home based on something LIKE this but not.

My boyfriend has a weakness for 1980s houses, as long as they don’t skew too postmodern. He would love this one. I’m not mad at the remaining mauve, or the black-fixtured powder room. I’m definitely not mad at what may be the original Poggenpohl cabinets. I agree with others that all the flooring needs to go. I think it could be replaced with a combination of maybe travertine tile and wood and still make sense. I would be a bit intimidated by the demands that house would place on art and furnishings.

And, yes. I’m constantly perusing houses online. But why stop there? Attending open houses is one of my favorite weekend activities.

@arcy_gw I don't understand your post. I am admiring the unique architecture and gorgeous grounds and location of this home. I'm not interested in building it or buying. I don't understand the vitriol of your post directed against the ad or my admiration of the house. It's just a fun listing to look at!

@jakabedy Yes I agree! The furnishing, art would be a challenge, but maybe a fun challenge. I would have to change that black bathroom out right away. Oh wow! Do you think those are poggenpohls from back in the day?

I think they are Poggenpohl.

I look at real estate online almost daily and visit open houses semi-regularly. My SO became an agent after a life long casual interest in RE.

Redfin has been my favorite time wasting app, and we're not actively house hunting either. I deleted facebook on my phone, but couldn't bring myself to let go of Redfin!

And whenever a particularly interesting house in my area has a showing, I'm there.
