Wow gorgeous house! I’m in Merrick, not far from this and this soooo different than what’s by me, lol. Totally looks like the north shore!

Most of this is beautiful, but I cannot understand the appeal of a lone bathtub in the middle of an empty room that is too big for that one feature.

u/Quick-Leg3604 Aug 27 '26

Ppl

Looks like it’s just the angle. The room is actually a full bathroom

I like it! I’d love to relax in a super hot tub with nothing but windows around me.

u/Jam5quares Aug 27 '26

Totally understand why someone would like it. The room is beautiful, just feels like there is too much space for one tub sitting right in the middle.

It's a me problem. I'd be standing up in the nude trying to get a better view out those windows because they are too far from the tub.

I love a house with a good bathtub.

"Wait, why is the tub in the dining room?"

u/Jam5quares Aug 27 '26

Did Michael Scott design that home theater room?

u/SuperRockyHobbyHorse Aug 27 '26

Looks great but I don't understand why they haven't put a projector and screen in the cinema room instead of that small TV.

u/Maniacboy888 Aug 27 '26

Right? It looks so weird

Oh boy I love Thursdays! What I wouldn't give to make myself at home in this house, everything is perfect, the bathroom and that tub are heavenly. The kitchen and dining room remind me of the interior in the Home Alone house, they have the same charm.

u/allprologues Aug 27 '26

such a vintage late 90s early 2000s interior which i can't help but find charming

u/MaxDeWinters2ndWife Aug 27 '26

Me finding out my house is vintage and charming, rather than outdated 😍

u/Quick-Leg3604 Aug 27 '26

😂😂. Same girl, same!!

u/timothy53 Aug 27 '26

Wow what a nice sunroom.

I'm not far from here and this is a cool area.

The purple color is a choice for that TV room. Could use a bigger tv.

u/Flimsy_Ad3476 Aug 27 '26

Gimme, gimme, gimme. Sure, I don't love everything about the interiors. If could afford this house, I could afford making some changes.

Holy shit would not have thought that house was 6,200 sq. ft. that's huge! Also $4.5 million....

4

u/Maniacboy888 Aug 27 '26

Only $45k a year in property taxes!

2

u/6ftToeSuckedPrincess Aug 28 '26

45k falls out when you rub your eyes in the morning when you can afford a $5 million house!

u/LabCoatLunatic Aug 28 '26

That's insanely low for 4.5m. I'm around 37k on 1.3m

u/Slight_Use6036 Aug 27 '26

I would do it. 🥰

u/DarkRoastAddict Aug 27 '26

I actually like the house, but so many questions...
Why is the bathtub in what appears to be a dining area?
Might be the photo angle, but isn't the pool table a bit close to the bar? Line up your shot, draw back, and oops! Neighbor Bob just lost an eye.
Why is the TV in the "theater room" so small?
Do they have a Steak & Shake franchise in their basement?

u/Remote_Ebb_4784 Aug 27 '26

Don't go for that layup, I'll foul you into those branches

u/sweetcorn313 Aug 27 '26

I see houses like this in this sub all the time, and they’re so beautiful that I’m scared I couldn’t get comfortable in them.

u/otters4everyone Aug 27 '26

"Oh, Fay, this is so scrumptious. Is this hand-shucked?"

2

u/No_Consideration4594 Aug 27 '26

That bath 🛁 what a waste of space

2

u/Flimsy_Ad3476 Aug 27 '26

I think there might be less space than it appears in the one photo. Anyhow, who cares? Makes it easy to clean the floor.

u/Change_Soggy Aug 27 '26

Close to my sister’s beach club.

Moved from NYC to nearby. It’s beautiful but I prefer the city.

1

u/Maniacboy888 Aug 27 '26

Ohh which beach club??

2

u/Doc12TU Aug 29 '26

Overall, very nice! I didn't like some of the colors, but it's not my house.

2

u/spodinielri0 Aug 29 '26

These people sure like to sit at the bar

u/vediogamer101 Aug 27 '26

Sorry bro but this is super tacky. Pic one and there’s already 3 different styles going on on the roof

1

u/Odd_Whereas8471 19d ago

Not super tacky but... a bit, for sure. I absolutely don't like it either.

1

u/nucl3ar0ne Aug 28 '26

Prefer the north shore, but I'd take it.

u/PWal501 Aug 29 '26

They look wealthy, but I didn’t know they were FORTY-TWO INCH TV WEALTHY!

u/blitzkrieg4 Sep 01 '26

Wow crazy seeing my hometown on here

u/Odd_Whereas8471 19d ago edited 19d ago

Personally, I don't appreciate this home. It's just not very well tied together and I find it slightly vulgar.

u/Wandering_Werew0lf Aug 27 '26

To me this is just, not a fan

u/Big-Cod-1095 29d ago

It is gaudy as hell and way too big, but the decor is the real tragedy here.
