ucodegen – I think that fireplace is actually in the courtyard between the 2 garages. You can’t see the courtyard from the from of the house. I am not so impressed w/that kind of layout. Seems like the courtyard wouldn’t get much sunlight.
Even the exterior is not so stunning. I’ve seen much nicer exteriors in 4S Ranch, some that look like villas in Tuscany. But I don’t have a million to spend right now. Close, but not quite. Nevertheless, if I had a million right now, I doubt I’d get this place, regardless of their view on top of the hill in the middle of nowhere.
From what I understand, builders in that area are selling homes for under that amount they’re asking for this place. Some sod and trees doesn’t amount to 300k more than other properties in the area. Builders are willing to deal.
