I absolutely love this house. Very little I would change. I think you actually get a lot of bang for your buck on this one.

I like that house as well -- but the dark walls in a few of the spaces need to be lightened up. And I am not a huge fan of the bathroom withe the weird tile and black fixtures. Seems out of place.

Good house. Big, why only four bedrooms.. Great property. Nebraska, reminds me we haven't heard from StephDRebel since she was moving there. Or did I miss her?

There isn't much that I like about the interior of that house but I particularly hate the bathroom in pic 46.

This is a beautiful home. Not really fussy like some of the more expensive homes I have seen. I could live with everything except the basement carpeting. With that light beige right next to the entrance from the pool means chlorine tracked when someone needs a bathroom, unless there was another bathroom that had a hard surface access. Still, with the fireplace, pool table, and extra kitchen, that carpet won’t look good for long. I am not a fan of carpet at all anyway. So if I could afford the house, I am ripping out all carpet. I loved the closets and would be very happy in that kitchen. I guess in addition to needing more money to be able to afford the purchase price, I need a family to live there with me.

What in the world is a grill doing in an enclosed area??? I realize there are a lot of windows but that just doesn’t seem prudent. It looks like there’s a vent hood but I’m still kind of shocked that’s not against code.

very pretty - but a little too "on the nose" for me. Like "Disney craftsman" - but would I live there? Uh, yes. Love the wood.

That's not far from where my sister lives (her house is nothing like that, haha).
It strikes me as very Nebraskan in style.

There’s very little I like about it. The entryway is quite impressive, but completely impractical accessibility-wise. The house is too spread out, black bathroom fixtures are an abomination, and the proportions of that two-storey public room seem really weird. I'll give this one a pass, thank you!

That’s not an attractive house. Particularly from the outside but I would have to change a whole lot of stuff inside including all that dark brown everywhere.

It's a complex, not a house. I was expecting a 1920s-30s Craftsman. This is too much, too big, too sprawling. A now-displaced CEO built that. His wife left him and got custody of the two teenage boys, Kieran and Tanner. She's already dating a big pharma exec.

The sheer size of it goes against everything I personally picture in terms of a craftsman, although as said earlier, I can see craftsman-inspired elements in it. And I do appreciate unpainted wood in a house. It's hard for me to find any house of that size that I actually like. It's almost as if once a house hits a certain size there's a snowballing of elements that happen, all of which I don't like for myself to live in or with. Often times, though, I do think think they might be nice to vacation in for a week.

If I could afford it, I'd live there! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I love the wood interior! The entry way I would paint a brighter color. The paint is too dark with all that wood. My favorite room? The library!! All my books are now stored in boxes because I don't have anywhere to put them.
And I'm thinking all those fireplaces and stoves are probably accent pieces and not really used to heat the house. I find that one that is set up high in one of the bathrooms to be odd. There isn't any duct work but that could be behind the wall.
The black bathroom can be redone. If you had the money to buy that house, you can replace all those fixtures. I would. It adds nothing to the house. And I agree with Lexica. That carpet in the basement needs to go.
But yeah. I could live there!

I don't think it is craftsman style either, but whoever decorated or designed it seems like they half heartedly tried to make it craftsman style. There are things I like, and things I hate. The bathrooms are all atrocious. I like the wood and the closed in porches. I agree about the stoves, way too many for such a big house. They are not wood burning, except one.
And why are the washer and dryer hook ups in photo 27 but the washer and dryer are in 47 blocking some of the cupboards? Just weird.

What in the world is a grill doing in an enclosed area??? I realize there are a lot of windows but that just doesn’t seem prudent. It looks like there’s a vent hood but I’m still kind of shocked that’s not against code. I totally got stuck on the indoor grill, too. The house is ginormous, but all the fixtures are very middle of the road. I’d have landscaped the heck out of that pool area and had a pool house and some shade out there. But that’s where you’d find me all summer.

It looks like there’s a vent hood but I’m still kind of shocked that’s not against code. Residential codes can include lots of things the average consumer doesn't know. A home this size in our city requires a commercial style fire suppression system in the ceiling, a commercial hood is nothing. Think about it this way, restaurants have grilles, and they have an appropriate hood and ventilation above it. It's likely this home does too, they just chose a residential style grille with a hinged cover. I'm not zooming to see exact products, just making an assumption, it's in an entertaining area and it's nicer to close the lid and ignore it, rather than look at the dirty grille all evening. With six bathrooms I could make do with the funky tile one. It's the sectional sofa with back to the windows and facing the interior doors in the lounge adjacent the grille that bugs me. But it is furniture and doesn't count...

I absolutely LOVE it. The only thing 'bad' that struck me is the black bathroom.. I would change that. Maybe a few minor other things.. but that is my cup of tea.. although I don't need anything THAT big. But heck I could move there and take my daughter/SIL/grandson with us and they can move in as well. Sign me up please. The lake is dreamy.. love the long driveway.

If they are what I think they are, we sell them and they absolutely are not designed for an install like this. That’s why I’m shocked it’s allowed.

That's a lot of styles for one house! And some oddly shaped rooms.

I like the outside a lot better than the inside. I love the privacy, the trees, and the pond.
That is not what I picture when I hear craftsman.
Why is it so expensive to live in Nebraska?

While I really like the wood and the windows and the sheer volume of space - there's too many stairs and weird platforms and varying levels for me. And the bathrooms are kind of meh.

That makes sense, building codes and manufacturer's instructions are two different things. What brand is it? We are updating our outdoor kitchen.
