  • Well, it certainly is grand. But for $1.5M I don’t want to enter my EIFS mock Mediterreanean up a driveway and through an alley of garage doors. Sorry. Oh, and I think the motorized lowering chandelier in the living room is less a function of mood-setting and more one of easy cleaning. Kudos to the listing agent for all the flowery prose! How refreshing to read something well-written with proper spelling.

  • EIFS? I don’t see EIFS. I see stucco, but not EIFS.

    Apparently you won’t be seeing it because it’s not there and you won’t be buying it.

    Move along.

  • Buy it? I can’t afford to furnish it.

    What is the deal with two master suites? I get the whole attraction of big bedrooms but two? Are you supposed to rent it out to boarders?

  • Two master suites? If you can afford this much for a house, there is probably a parent or grown child (or even grown child plus family) living with you.

  • The front, with the garages facing each other, makes it look like the entrance to a townhouse complex. Personally, I can not wait until the current mural fad goes the way of wood paneling, avocado appliances, and the skylight. If I want to see murals, I’ll go to an Italian restaurant (where from what I’ve seen, it must be some kind of legal prerequisite to get a food license).

  • Enough with the faux finishing! What is the obsession with this in these gargantuan homes in Royal Oaks,The Woodlands, Sugar Land and Katy?! Is that supposed to make the furniture purchased in one fell swoop from Louis Shanks, Star or Gallery look more
    attractive?

  • Agreed. Faux was out of style in 2001 when this house was completed and hopefully people have forgotten the craft by now. Do people really aspire to live like this? The entry way is about as inviting as an Embassy Suites Lobby…

  • Royal Jokes comes to mind.

    Its for when the inevitable divorce comes and they split the house between the east and west wings. Its alot cheaper than a fire sale and in a house this big, they could drop a wall down the middle and still have plenty spacious living. I’m sure the pool table room and the kitchen are in opposite wings for this same reason.

  • “Grandness?” “Trompe d’toile?” What *is* it with these realtors who don’t know how to write?

    As for the double master suites, one is for the elderly parents. Lots of very wealthy Asian families out there in the ‘burbs.
