Outside is nice but some rooms inside look like ass.

You would need three government tenders to afford that

Looks nice but that Ralph Lauren wallpaper should be the first thing to go

Followed by whoever did the inside

I've watched enough Haunting of Hill House to know that living there won't end well...

Because the land sits on dolomite, a type of rock that can dissolve in acidic water, extensive engineering was required before construction could begin.

In fact, it took almost two years simply to obtain approval for the foundations

No thanks, the 2 years indicate to me that there is dolomite directly underneath the property.

No thanks, the 2 years indicate to me that there is dolomite directly underneath the property.

It indicates to me the pace of bureacracy.

Rates and taxes feel low for a house and property that size. Either they are not paying enough or everyone else is paying to much...

Eikona... outside is nice enough, inside needs to be redone completely.

That wall paper looks like a DiarreaEvent after a night of binging on tequila and nachos.

Pretty dated. Low ceilings. They also made the “build cabinets around the TV - they’re not going to get any bigger” mistake.

Nice on the outside though. One problem is that even renovating isn’t going to do much good because of the low ceilings. Perhaps they can remove some rooms upstairs and create a double height space.

Proof that money can't buy taste.
