ParticipantProbably not to the Realtors. It may be limits on their commissions. That being said, some of the parts of that house are just odd. Tiny narrow entrance, door to the patio/backyard is small and not very opening (house does not ‘flow’ well). And what is with that weird wrought iron door in the image at 1 across, 3 down? Strange location, strange to have yet another inner door… Strange mini lamp on the side of the curved stairway, at about the height of a person’s shoulder (image 2 across, 2 down, compare height of railing at same step to height of lamp.)
For the following, see the image 5th across, top row. Person who did the travertine floor was an amateur. When you have tiles of different shades from the same ‘color tile’ group, but different batches, you don’t lay them down together in groups. That creates a splotchy look. You lay tile down by taking one tile from one box, then next tile from a different box and so on. The different shades end up being randomly scattered along the floor instead of grouped. Grouping similarly shaded tiles strengthens the perceived differences in shades.

ParticipantWrought iron door is to a wine room, which is all the rage at the moment. We’re big wine ppl so it appeals to us, but I would imagine in another decade it will be laughed at as the disco ball of the current decade.
Agree about the tile – must have been a do-it-yourselfer!
As either sdrealtor or SD Realtor (can’t remember which) said before, the houses on this street are at an odd location. Backs up to a busy street that will be 4 lanes soon, and they stated there is what amounts to a swamp in the empty field seen from the back side of the house. I haven’t seen that swamp, but that doesn’t sound inviting.
Somebody took a little narrow splotch of land, built huge homes on them, and let the raging house market at the time snatch them up at ridiculous prices. Now the market is punishing those homes.

So what is with the second screen door? How do you plan to keep that room at the proper temp for a wine room? Strange location for a ‘wine room’..

Or cheap Mexican labor by the general contractor. Though I also have to add that I have seen some so-called professionals do the same thing. I guess I have just been spoiled on that by a good Tileman that was able to take a shipment of blue tile whose shade varied from pale blue to deep blue.. and made it work around a black free standing fireplace.

It just looks like a screen door. What looks to be screen door lattice is actually a wine rack along the lines of this

We have seen wine rooms built into the new KB Homes at Shady Grove in Fallbrook (same iron entrance, but a little larger storage area) and in a 2-3 year old home in Stone Canyon in San Marcos – the Stone Canyon home had it built in under the stairway virtually identical to the Joy Ct home.
These wine rooms don’t control the temperature. It would mainly be useful for keeping red wines at room temp.
But we have kind of hijacked this thread. Do any realtors know what the confidential remarks say for the Joy Court listing?

ParticipantI’ll never understand houses that big without a standard 3 car garage (tandem doesn’t count). Nice sized lot though. But I know the location and uh, it’s not great.

Or cheap Mexican labor by the general contractor. Though I also have to add that I have seen some so-called professionals do the same thing. I guess I have just been spoiled on that by a good Tileman that was able to take a shipment of blue tile whose shade varied from pale blue to deep blue.. and made it work around a black free standing fireplace.

As either sdrealtor or SD Realtor (can’t remember which) said before, the houses on this street are at an odd location. Backs up to a busy street that will be 4 lanes soon, and they stated there is what amounts to a swamp in the empty field seen from the back side of the house. I haven’t seen that swamp, but that doesn’t sound inviting.
Somebody took a little narrow splotch of land, built huge homes on them, and let the raging house market at the time snatch them up at ridiculous prices. Now the market is punishing those homes.

ParticipantProbably not to the Realtors. It may be limits on their commissions. That being said, some of the parts of that house are just odd. Tiny narrow entrance, door to the patio/backyard is small and not very opening (house does not ‘flow’ well). And what is with that weird wrought iron door in the image at 1 across, 3 down? Strange location, strange to have yet another inner door… Strange mini lamp on the side of the curved stairway, at about the height of a person’s shoulder (image 2 across, 2 down, compare height of railing at same step to height of lamp.)
For the following, see the image 5th across, top row. Person who did the travertine floor was an amateur. When you have tiles of different shades from the same ‘color tile’ group, but different batches, you don’t lay them down together in groups. That creates a splotchy look. You lay tile down by taking one tile from one box, then next tile from a different box and so on. The different shades end up being randomly scattered along the floor instead of grouped. Grouping similarly shaded tiles strengthens the perceived differences in shades.
