I really like that house but I'm loling at the staging decision to put a whole bed in the pool room in exactly 1 photograph, while it's not there for other photos of the pool room from different angles. I don't... really think a bed in a pool room would stay comfy and dry for long...

Youth Decay posted:

I agree, it's just tougher to find houses with a design that is good (i.e. not given a generic gray remodel, not trapped in 90s beige) or at least interesting, in a decent state of repair, and reasonably sized. It's why I gravitate towards older bungalows and colonials, they were sized appropriately for human beings (or hobbits, in the case of the oldest colonials) to live in. But again, so many have doubled or tripled in size from modern additions.

Also, bigger expensive houses tend to have wordier listings making it much easier to actually search for them. There are probably a lot of hidden gems that entirely lack descriptions that I can't dig out from under thousands of listings of generic gray remodels.

It's also really frustrating because we're renting a laneway house here in Vancouver, which is a little on the small side (I kinda wish we had one extra room), but otherwise is really lovely and perfectly sized. I'd love to be able to just buy something this size (god knows we're already paying enough) but the only houses around here are million-dollar monstrosities. There's just no justification for developers to build small, it seems.

Good news! You'll be doing that sledding after the first thaw, when you're trying to shovel the snow off your roof so it doesn't collapse.

The purpose of the wide sink near the dining area is to save labor for the diners, not to increase it for the chef. Fewer steps to put the dirty dishes into the sink where they can soak before they are put into the dishwasher (or handwashed).

Kitchen islands work fine when the kitchen is laid out sensibly and the house has enough space. There is no conceivable layout that would make that kitchen not a pain in the rear end, island or no. Try to imagine where you could put counter space or appliances with walkways to both sides of the fridge, an exterior wall on one side, and a bathroom to another. I feel like I'm looking at one of the ways kitchen toilets happen.

You can see the sink on the opposite side of the stove, which means you have to walk around the island to get to it, which is just farcically stupid.

It looks like it used to be a U or L shaped kitchen. The window on the back left is higher than the ones in the foreground, indicating that there could have been counters under it. The counters wouldn't have been continuous because of all the doorways, but there's plenty of room for counters along the walls if you remove the island.
