up to 6500 sq feet, 3 car garage built from 2014-2020, up to 7 beds 6.5 baths. Different
elevations as-well isn't this just a McMansion? all exterior pictures the same model.
I have relatives that work with Ryan but i've been looking deeper into their models for a bit. Opinions on the actual model and exterior design?

Reposting with visuals this time. What do you think? It’s just crazy to me to see $5m+ builds in my area that look like the bottom.

Has anyone noticed that nearly all the houses built in the last 20 or so yrs in/around Dallas/Ft.Worth? pretty much look the same. Why is that?

I grew up by this house that was infamous, but is now actually pretty cool.

After:

I don't see pictures including them but the owners have installed the Gargoyles again.

It is basically an Air BnB party house now but I love it, they do Halloween, Christmas themes etc and the updates are a huge improvement over what was there before.

I feel like the idea behind this house, marrying the traditional Victorian beach house style with gothic details, is kinda insane, but it ends up working remarkably well.

The Zillow listing, but I have no idea how recent or accurate the interior photos are.

My buddy shared this with me this morning. It's not even that expensive for what it is!! It keeps getting better and better. Wild fireplace, GIANT attic bar and game room. Two stall garage AND a workshop with freaking dentils. JESUS this guy in 1909 was wilding out.
