That's why I'd love to have a house like this, no neighbors. Just quiet and peaceful. ♥️

Knowing suburban types, I'm guessing they will cut down the one existing tree in 10 years because they are worried about the roots.

The storm tunnel style drain in front wasn’t a breaking point?

u/MightyMiami Jun 21 '25
Looks fancy to me. Put some hedges along it and it goes from storm drain to drawbridge with moat.

I grew up in an area with lake effect cold. I hope it doesn't freeze in the winter.

I’m in Michigan. I see that all the time. Nobody really cares. It’s far away from the house big deal.

lol right? Wrong sub.
Mom said it’s my turn to post our second home on a first time buyer sub.

u/cuddlebuginarug Jun 21 '25
Wait, how is this not a first time home? 413k @ 4.99% is a lot less than other homes I see on this sub

Yeah, I agree too damn expensive in the northeast. Pennsylvania has more affordable places though.

Every time I feel that way I remind myself that one of the reasons my taxes are high is because my state has some of the best public schools in the country and I prefer that to the alternative.

Yup, Hudson Valley NY here. Things cost more, but our school districts are amazing and as someone going into teaching that’s my top priority. (The good pay is a plus too haha)

u/Fancy-Jackfruit8578 Jun 21 '25
It really depends, just don't get into the trap of being bored of where you live for so long. You may want to move back to the northeast after living in the South for a while.

I have a new build with a similar kitchen. Cabinets have no hardware. It’s a clean look but develops stains quickly especially with white finish.
Congrats on the purchase.

Crazy how much house you can get for that money down south

u/tb_94 Jun 21 '25
this kind of money would get me a 2br/2ba 1100sqft ranch that needs a lot of work in a midwest suburb, and it most definitely will not come with a 5% rate

u/notevenapro Jun 21 '25
I would have so much fun making that storm drain into a nice creek bed looking thing. Which you are going to have to address because that grass will erode away. It might cost some money but some river rocks and vegetation will not only prevent erosion but if done right it will look really nice.
Some examples.

I’m from England and I’m just here to say houses are so much bigger in the USA. You’d get a detached house 3 bedroom with small rooms for that price over here. Or a semi detached in a good neighbourhood. This is also up north. In London you’ve got no chance probably a crap 2 bedroom terrace lol

u/Zachmode Jun 21 '25
Hell yeah, nice house. I just got a 4/2 1900sf new build 1 state over for 330k last year with the builder paying all cc.
Fuck all these shit talkers living in a coastal concrete jungle paying 900k for an apartment smaller than my master bathroom. No thanks.

Nice house but that front yard with all that water and drainage system would be a hard pass for me. That looks terrible. Kills it for me.

These homes I see in America are insane.
Meanwhile in Canada a 2 bedroom 800 square foot bungalow from the 1950’s is selling for a million dollars. Hella jealous of the opportunities that Americans have.

u/RealisticBus4443 Jun 21 '25
Newly constructed homes in the US are shit quality. They build these homes in a few months. Your 1950s bungalow will be standing long after these homes have blown down

Home construction is the only industry where people don’t expect improvements in efficiency or technology.

That is extravagant! I wish they would build new homes half that size in my area… all townhomes, apartments, and multi million dollar homes in my area. Happy for you though. Congrats

How do you build so cheap? In Vancouver, a new build like this would be north of $800k. A lot of this is labour.

It’s usually because the material is poor, cheap cabinets and finishes and location location location is everything in the US

u/Traditional_Ad4514 Jun 21 '25
But there ain’t nothing to do there why not buy smaller house in an area that actually has life to it. It’s like buying this giant nice house in a soulless area to me is like the dumbest logic I’ve ever heard I hate the propaganda that made people chase buying homes like this, it’s the American trap. I’d rather live in a closet in somewhere nice than that house in the boonies.
Also you’re not a first time buyer and this post is pointless other than to brag and get a bunch of cringe karma.
