It's worse than all 3 of these. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandho ... 63#photo13 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandho ... 54#photo25 https://www.realtor.com/realestateandho ... 2204-85712 It needs about 175-200k worth of work and lacks a great room. The kitchen is probably about 13 x 17 but the space seems narrow. The breakfast nook makes it a little more odd and it is closed off from the family room. I can't tell where the offices are located in the floor plan. The price will have to drop considerably. It wouldn't be terrible but considering what else is out there it's not a good house. |

First thing everyone does upon buying is to install new carpeting and refinishing the floors. Then you end up living with your choices far beyond the date they become obsolete. It's certainly not the worst McMansion I've ever seen, but it does have architectural oddities like mismatched windows, unrelated gables, and various materials on the facade. I wouldn't call it an atrocity on the level that qualifies it for McMansion Hell, but I'd rather live in a typical Chicago bungalow. It's not a horrible house. But when the asking price is 1 million you can find better for that price. There was a house by me on the market for 3 years. Newly built. No one had ever lived in it. They were asking 900k. I looked it up and they settled for 700k a couple of months ago. I looked at the pictures on line. Much nicer then Pappyland. If you're looking for a million dollar house, you're gonna want the ones that were built within the last few years. At least I would. Because everything is new and modern, obviously. |

I'm assuming there were older homes on the lots that were knocked down and rebuilt with these? |

It looks like it was thrown on the market pursuant to a financial emergency--they did nothing to prepare it for sale. It looks like it would smell weird. |

Location is everything in real estate..i just looked at the pics of those 3 links ..i didnt go past pic 1..all had asphalt shingles..North has a cedar shake roof.. That big piece of shit frame house is nowhere near as nice as Norths. Atleast the first 2 were brick n stone |

I didn't look at the locations but assume they are in the same neighborhood. If North has a good/better location that works in his favor. If I'm looking at houses and those 4 are on the list and locations are almost the same, North's gets crossed off quickly. The others have their issues as does North's. His lacks a great room and needs a lot of work. That will never be a 1.2M house IMO. |

Whoever did the wainscoting in the first house should be shot. Could they have drawn any more attention to the electrical outlets? This thread cries out for a bigfan analysis. |

His lacks a great room and needs a lot of work. That will never be a 1.2M house IMO. ReMax Spaulding? If so, good for you? No, I just like looking at houses. We had to do a ton of work on our first and second house so I've spent a lot of time on houzz and realtor web sites. If I see a house for sale I usually look and I like some of the HG shows. It interests me. I don't know much about park ridge. As most here on anything I'm no expert, I just have opinions.That 1975 Touhy is kind of weird. Odd that they built a house with a heavy modern feel as it limits buyers. Touhy is pretty busy no? And I might have tried to steal a couple feet from the 17 X 10 room (or the master) and made a 14 X 11 room instead of 2 12 X 11s. The Kitchen is small and not attached to the family room and large living rooms are typically a waste of space. They've listed it before and already dropped the price at least 25K. I'd pass. Roofs and siding and stuff like that are nice touches/bonuses but I don't think it's at the top of the list for most people. |
