What's in Charlotte?

No yard upkeep is nice.

There's a for dat.

is

Yard made of stones > paying to maintain grass you don't want and won't use

If that's what's on the market then that's what's on the market
I don't think it would be all that bad. Yeah the kitchen is poverty. You could re-do it if you want and add value to the house. Or not I'm sure it's functional as-is. We lived in a McMansion-ish house one time and it wasn't all that bad. Biggest issue were shoddy build quality bs problems but labor was dirt cheap in San Antonio so my parent's didn't mind that much.

Agreed on the deck though. Exposed wood is to maintain.

My point is that the Friar Tuck house checks off a lot of Troybro boxes, still looks nice (and in many ways nicer than "Epic") for $60K LESS.

We can't all be

I live in a "vinyl village" type subdivision now and it's actually quite nice. The house is 10-15 years old so it's still "reliable", I don't want my house to be an ownershit experience like an E39 M5. I'd rather be fixing car stuff than house stuff. I've done small things at our (my gf's) place, but nothing major is needed ever. The neighborhood also offers a nice pool, a safe environment to walk a dog, a couple of parks with playgrounds if crotchfruit is your thing. Also due to the high volume of homes, shops and other things are easily reached. Plus, the house was cheap and therefor my monthly outlay to my gf is cheap. Despite all of this the interior is pleasant. Is it custom? No, but everything works and looks pretty good.

Consider the price point though.

I must be opaque in this post because you're the third guy who hasn't smelled what I am cooking. I am taking aim at this property as compared to Friar Tuck only, not as compared to the Charlotte market as a whole or Charlotte vs. the rest of the U.S.

Friar Tuck offers an attached 3 car Garage vs. 2 car detached, only 100 less square feet, WAY NICER kitchen and bath finishes, a lot that is twice as big in size to keep others at arms length because Troy hates people, and to me appears to be the superior house in almost every way unless you are in love with that atrium and deck which will need 40 gallons of Behr stain every year....ALL for $60K less asking.

But, like, that's just my opinion man.

You missed that there is a 2 car detached garage AND a 2 car attached garage. It's "Epic" because it's 4 cars.

I don't want a big lot - and see previous post about the "epic" having dual 2 car garages. Location is less middle-of-nowhere on it too while still being nowhere near the city.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the attached garage? Maybe the detached is just double deep?

[Desertbreh]

Or is it like [user not found]'s where the front three windows on the left are for the garage?

Though you were wrong I think an important point was brought up, quality of construction.

might go nuts living in a place with obviously cut corners that Joe Six-pack might not care about. The first few houses we looked at were like that and it was rage inducing, even for me, and I don't have an eye for that stuff.

You can only care about so many things before you run out of choices entirely

Location+price+features+quality+style all being optimal doesn't exist unless you have luck.

Once the need for bedrooms for crotchfruit is addressed, I would rather live in a 2500 square foot home with quality finishes than a 4500 square foot home that uses the cheapest everything.

[Desertbreh]

Also none of these 3 and 4 car garage homes had pictures of the garage interior.

Good luck finding that in the right place for the right price with 600+ sq ft garage.

I saw so much shoddy bs when I was looking, it was insane. Houses listing at $450-550k with uneven ceilings, windows installed backwards, etc. My parents house is guilty of this. They live in a mcmansiony neighborhood in Birmingham AL. Their fridge doors can't open all the way because they hit the corner of the kitchen counter across from them. True story. I would have raged out at that but they dgaf.

Their house was cheap doe, esp for new construction. I guess some bs is to be expected for cheap price.

Half of the windows in our current place are cheaply made and/or poorly installed such that you can't fully open them or it takes a ridiculous effort to do so, like you feel like you're going to break something. I never open windows anyway, we have climate control for a reason.
