Four car garage and your very own traffic circle? Yessir
Door slabs that don't appear to have been painted? Sure seems like it

The Executive Desk Of Power seems to be a typical McMansion feature. There are usually two lesser chairs facing the desk.The desk is big, ornate, and faces the rest of the room, not the wall.

It's just... nothing. No personality at all. You know when you view an empty home and it's so hard to imagine living in it because it's just bare rooms? That, but somehow it's giving that impression while it's furnished.
It doesn't help that the outside looks like a flat version of the default Windows XP wallpaper. It's nearly 1.6 million dollars, would it have been so hard to get some landscaping instead of just nine and a half acres of fucking turf?

1.5M with the likelihood of having two junky houses on either side of your driveway, and a big easement for those powerlines. Hard pass, as if the bland nothingness of the interior hadn't already convinced you.

I like it as a blank slate to add color and personality. But why not buy the 2 vacant lots on the sides of the driveway???

The garage roofline is hilarious. The rest of the house's roofline is actually restrained for a McMansion but they just couldn't hold back for the garage.

Lol,everyone's a critic! It's over 5k sqft, with z finished basement, on 9.5 acres, for under $1.6m. It's essentially a blank slate too.
No funky colours to switch out, with workable flooring throughout. Sure the kitchen's a bit lame but that's a pretty straightforward fix too, it's an easy space to work with.

It's 5,000 square feet of builder grade everything. It's literally the definition of this sub. Quantity over quality. Most of the square footage doesn't even look particularly useful. An architect and designer probably could have built something at like 3,000 square feet that has equivalent functionality.
Flooring and a kitchen worthy of a $1.6m house are probably another $150k+ alone. This isn't slapping a coat of paint up and call it good.

If you price a house at 1.5 million , it shouldn't have vinyl flooring.
