Can This Home’s Dysfunctional Layout Be Transformed Into a Dream Home

Three-quartersThree quarters of an acre. Yes, it has a drop zone. Will they be happy with it? Oh, wait to see. New development.

You've got three-quarters of an acre of land. Wow. The nicest thing about three-quarters of an acre is, is that it backs onto protected land. I think it gives you 99% of what you asked me for. There's probably 1% in there somewhere, I'm sure. But I'll find something. You'll find something.

Go look and see what that is. Okay. Come on. All right. Thank you. Go in and have a look. Oh, my gosh. So far, it's beautiful. How do you love this main area? Wow. I want to see your reaction. No, it's because I. Know this one can't lie. So I know if I look at her, I know if she likes something or not.

It's amazing. Come check out the kitchen. Yes, This is facing a wall. I just feel like it's so open as you're cooking, you can see peripherally everything. Now, I know that this would not be enough of a drop zone. So you've got this room over here. You know, this allows you just to flow from the garage through the mudroom and right into the drop zone, and nothing goes past this.

You guys acted like I was crazy. Do you see how someone else thought of this? This is perfect. This is exactly what I'm talking about. You walk in, you drop your dirty stuff. So weird that you sound mad about getting it. Exactly what you want. We got lots more to see. Let's head upstairs. All right. Now, I know Hillary is doing something to your laundry.

She is. Oh, but it's not. I wonder if it's going to look like. This is crazy. You've got two folding areas and plenty of storage. You've got extra storage over there for hanging stuff. This is beyond good. All right. So bedroom number one, you know, there are two options in terms of bedrooms for your daughter or a writing room for you.

Main bedroom time. Look at it. Look at the windows. Like a painting. Hello. Hello? Hi there. Wow. You're coming into a house that's been well thought through and is going to give you all the function and beauty you want. Here we go. Okay. Come on in. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Wow. None of it is a big change. It feels like.

A big change. We painted the handrails black. You've got a new stair carpet. The pictures have been repainted. So it just gives it a kind of crisper, cooler look. Oh, wow. Haha. Love it. Come on. In. How do I even see? I don't recognize anything. You have this wonderful island with the cooktop in it which I still disapprove of.

But you wanted that. Love it and you love it. Thank you. So look at how much seating you've got too. I mean, this is great for a hangout as well. Yes. I feel like. I had an apartment with fewer square feet than we now have in cabinetry. This is. Phenomenal. The amount of storage is true. So you've got another pantry here.

You've got a pantry in the hallway where the laundry used to be. Oh my God. Which is huge. Look. No more laundry in the kitchen. It's really a lot of space. Oh, my gosh. And there's no laundry. That's what matters. There's so much room. Do you remember there was that great big leak? Yes, It was dreadful.

And now it's not. So that's it for the main floor. So now let's go upstairs. And you. Oh! Oh! Oh, my gosh. Wow. Wow. Look at the wallpaper. It's so pretty. It always was a beautiful spot, but it's now beautified. And it is your little sanctuary. It feels that way. Let's go in there. The new bathroom.

Are you ready? Oh, my God. Shut up. Oh, look. The mill would leave you for this tile. You stopped. Sorry. Did you get your double vanity? Yes. I can't even remember what it looked like. It was a nightmare. Well, you remember this whole conversation, do you? I feel like I have to have a freestanding tub. Otherwise, I mean, what's the point? And I promise you that I would come up with a tub where you're going to have the same thing, and that's it.

Your decision made? Yes. And are you going to love it? Or are you going to list it? We're going to list it. Awesome. I think what you did with the space that existed is miraculous. But I think there are just things in that house that could never be here. I think it's the openness of that house, the kitchen, and the living area, having it all open and everyone in the same room at the same time, even if we're doing different things, is irresistible.

No, look. It sounds fabulous. Honestly, it was awesome working with you guys. Thank you. Completely awesome.
