Question by :
Which house would you choose (descriptions included)?
House #1
Across the street from my parents
9 bedrooms, 4 ensuits, 4 walk in wardrobes.
Lift (Elevator, past owner was disabled)
‘Grand’ stairs in foyer and 2 other back stairs
Architect Design
Quite Modern
Library
Indoor Pool
Large kitchen and dining room
Large garden
Little passage ways through the house, and secret rooms for the previous’ owner grandkids
House #2
10 bedrooms, 4 ensuit, 4 walk in wardrobes
Play room (Last owners had kids, and this room has murals all over the walls)
3 stairs throughout the house
Large kitchen & Dining room
Slightly smaller garden
Built in 4 car garage
Greenhouse
More Regal than house #1
20 mins from my family
I’m just asking for your opinion, which one would you choose?
They are ridiculously big as to accomadate my very large family
Both of those houses sound ridiculously big so neither, but seeing as I don’t want to live across the street from my parents and I’d like a greenhouse I’ll pick option #2
Both are over-indulgent & wasteful so I vote for neither.
You can take this or leave it…learn to live simply with less. I have done many very famous athletes & politicians homes that were in excess of 20,000 sq ft. They had no more of a happy life than the senior lady’s home in the projects that I also did…& I dare say she was much wiser & fulfilled than the rich people with so much “show”.
I really don’t mean to preach, but I’m old & have earned the right to be brutally honest with those who strive to “have more”, “have better”, & “live big”. (And I’m Republican – LOL!!!) I’ve pretty much seen it all & am not impressed with the living large mentality. I am VERY impressed wth living modestly & efficiently without waste & excess.
WOO!!! Pretty honest here – just “keeping it real” – don’t take offense.
buy the smallest house and get the one with a walk in wardrobe.
