BRIT DADS REACT to Nick Murray "Tour of my house and garden in Connecticut, also new DOG"

[@NickMurray]

That Nick Murray, he needs to do an update of this video.

[@BritPopsReact]

Ah the man himself!!! Great video and thanks for sharing the insights into your home :) we enjoyed your video, always reach out if you need some British Friends to chat with :) watched your Porsche videos as well.. good job and good channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@savannah65]

In another video about his house, he showed the basement. It is unfinished, but extremely large. It could be finished and make the house much bigger. The stairs to the attic also shows a large unfinished space. That, too, can be finished. This house is larger than the average house in the US. It is also new with all of the latest features. It appears that this man has a nice income!

[@Elong.]

The thing now is to have a washer and dryer in the master closet. Even handier

[@TangentOmega]

His garage is a standard 2 car sized. This is common even in much smaller homes.

[@bonnielabdi5630]

I love this!! I hope Nick sees it!

[@janfitzgerald3615]

I’ve seen another tour of his house that included the basement and attic which are both huge! That’s quite a large house, especially for a single person, and is probably why it’s as expensive as it it…3,500 sq ft and also in Connecticut near NYC.

[@stephaniemccarthy1676]

Lived in Connecticut most of my life. Moved to Oklahoma about 9 years ago. Believe it or not I am happier with the weather in Oklahoma as well as being less expensive to live here vs Connecticut.

[@Tbone1492]

He's paying for the neighborhood. That's a very upscale family area in Fairfield. 30 minutes away in a more secluded area. Half the price!

[@garyi.1360]

If you watch older videos from that fellow he shows the basement and attic. They are huge spaces which only need finishing.

[@annfrost3323]

You mean watch his new video of the redecorated house.

[@BeaWms]

That house is a "Mil" in Connecticut, but would be about 650-800k in my area of the USA>

[@dbchatt5486]

He has an earlier video tour with before and after pics. The amazing part he omitted here was a tour of the basement and attic. The attic is huge but the basement looks bigger than the house itself. He could put in another house in his basement.

[@hardtackbeans9790]

Nosey house peepers. LOL!!

[@BritPopsReact]

Oh yeah lol 😂

[@kokomo9764]

You need to watch the followup video. It has been nicely redecorated. He also tours the huge attic and very huge basement.

[@pamegan8735]

Beautiful home ! Too much for me to take care of.

[@kevingouldrup9265]

The shrubs are like that from deer eating them. lol

[@willrobinson4976]

Nice reaction guys.

[@annfrost3323]

My daughter has 3 boys and they decided to move the washer and dryer upstairs. It works since laundry originates from clothing, bedding and baths upstairs. Unless you are downstairs in the kitchen or watching TV when the machines stop, upstairs.

[@firefighterchick]

I enjoyed this guy's narration and his sense of humor. Connecticut is one of the most expensive states to live in partly because of its proximity to New York City. What a million dollars will buy for housing varies greatly. Not just state to state but also within each state. In some states including most of Pennsylvania, a million dollars would come with a lot more land to it and a larger home. Most 'new construction' which started in the late 1980s is very much a cookie-cutter design. Around here we call them Lego houses or Smurf Villages after the cartoon. From a construction viewpoint, new construction wooden frame homes are built with incredibly cheap materials yet they're more expensive than ever before. They are the enemy of firefighters. More firefighters are seriously injured or die in new construction homes than in older homes by far. Due to the type of constructional design and materials used. In certain states like Florida, many homes are built with block or cement because they do to being better in hot humid climates and more protection against storm damage. It's very rare to find true brick or stone newly built homes.😊

[@BritPopsReact]

As usual a great comment and informative, wouldn’t have realised that about older vs newer so good point FFC

[@SylviaCovington-g1i]

That's fun! Too much house for me.

[@MichaelW969]

Vivaldi was Italian. LOL

[@GreatOutdoors1]

I saw the thumbnail, didn't read the title of the video, and thought to myself that looks like Nick Murray's house, then I read the title. It is amazing what things can stick in your head that you recall at a later time .

[@lovesgucci1]

There’s a show called “House Hunters” where a a new potential home buyer & real estate agent looks at 3 different home throughout the U.S. & then chooses at the end which one they chose. It’s a good show to because it details each home’s size, the number of bed/bath, specific needs/wants of the buyer & price. It’s also less than 30 minutes without commercials. You’ll see people looking at homes to studio apartments, from Alaska to NYC & everything in between.

[@lordlockdown64]

Nice house.

[@kimleemoon]

What you keep calling “paneling” is wainscoting. It’s a desirable feature in American homes.

[@BritPopsReact]

Ah yes ok 👌 we call it panelling :)

[@doobiedave9686]

You should check his other house tour video where he shows the basement, WHICH IS HUGE, and the unfinished attic which is far from being small. ✌️

[@jonsinclair3997]

I wish he showed the hug basement and the 3rd floor.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Just shows that depending where you live in USA has big bearing on what $1,000,000 buys.

[@pdsrunner]

exactly..this house is in Connecticut and only 45 minutes from NYC. This same house is similar to many houses in the midwest of the US and it would cost half the cost in Nebraska-Kansas than in Connecticut.

[@Kim-427]

It’s hard for Brits to understand what’s normal housing and what isn’t. This house is really no big deal. But,Because it’s a million as he said makes it seem not average. It’s a million because of where it’s located. You can see what we would call a mini mansion for 350/400 in parts of the south. It would definitely make that house look average.

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

Connecticut is a pretty pricy area of the country and real estate is steep. You coud get the same house with the same (or a bit more) square footage for about half the cost, in certain states. On the flip side, in other parts of the US, it could cost you a million $$ or more, just for the land without any structure on it. As they say in the real estate business, it's all about 3 things... location, location, location! Nice reaction!

[@modernbobber1231]

I'm thinking the big plush monkeys are less decoration and more a trick to keep the dogs from tearing up the leather furniture maybe.

[@colleenmonfross4283]

He has another video of the house and yard that is much better, he shows the basement and attic and the house is much better organized and cleaner. You would be amazed at his basement and attic spaces.

[@robertgifoy3390]

Connecticut near New York houses are high priced.

[@JIMBEARRI]

And he didn't actually show you how huge the basement and attic are. In most American homes, one or the other would be turned into a "Man Cave".

[@rj-zz8im]

Garden space is never a waste! You all in the UK must not have yards to speak of, but here we (most) live in them. This same house would be 500k-700k where I am in Florida. The NE metro areas are more expensive than the majority of the country, just like the West Coast is more expensive than most areas.

[@melissabill1640]

No offense intended here, but you guys were hilarious paying such close attention to all the details he was showing, like the things on the shelves. 🤣

[@storminight]

This is over a million dollar house. Most people can’t afford a house like that.

[@debneuweiler9867]

I don’t care what other people are commenting…but to live in this part of the country is not reality you have to have A lot of money to live that life style

[@LilliLamour]

Yet those houses are common in Cali

[@dalemoore8582]

It is reality for people who live here. There is no “typical” American home. To say it is not reality is silly. I live in a small southern town and there are houses like this and very small house for low income people and everything in between

[@H2G2Stp]

I don't think there is a standard American home. I've lived in an old New England farmhouse, a modern home, townhouse, and an apartment.. All were normal for the area. I live in the DC metro area now. We have million dollar homes to small apartments and townhomes. My cheap apartment here is probably luxurious to someone in a cheap nyc apartment. My British friend is fairly sure his flat would fit in that garage on the video...American homes and lifestyle and what is normal in one place is luxury (or crappy) in another area.

[@CarQuizzical]

you dont even live here so what do you know. i live here and this is reality for the most part. stay mad your country isnt like this 😂

[@VirginiaPeden-Harrington-qd5zu]

This is not a middle class house in any region of the US. It is definitely at the lower end of the upper class. This would be true in any of the 14 states I have lived in. Certainly is a beautiful house.

[@charlesmorton6206]

Ummm..I live in Brooklyn in Ditmas park in a middle class neighborhood and all the houses look or are much bigger than

[@bobbimccain2385]

Not sure if he had a bbq grill on his patio.

[@TempestNoTeacup]

This house in my state would probably be between 500k and 600k. The northern states are much more expensive.

[@JIMBEARRI]

New Zealand, not Australia.

[@tundiel]

Damn. Now I want a 'F*ck off' stamp. Just imagine how much fun I could have if I switched it with the official PO stamp... 😇 I also really want a house like that, to be fair. * curses current shoebox *

[@BritPopsReact]

Hahahaha

[@firefighterchick]

😜😂🤪 I'm imagining the faces of your customers as you wield that stamp.

[@tundiel]

@@firefighterchick the stamp represents my unspoken words 🤣🤣🤣

[@Muddywatersist]

Why is he filming waist high? Too funny "a laundry room upstairs"

[@NurseEmilie]

That house wouldn't cost a million dollars where I live in North Carolina.

[@johnjames8707]

look like average home in Midwest USA 300k

[@sdv73168]

Wth, the video seemed so rushed. He went through it at warp speed!

[@NurseEmilie]

No American I know would call his yard a garden. A garden to us grows vegetables. If you have a lawn and shrubs, that's not a garden in America. Don't know where that guy is from.

[@kimberlyk.8631]

Well obviously he’s from another country due to the very obvious accent!

[@debneuweiler9867]

I know I just posted but he is bragging..with no need he need to learn America

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Not much of an entertainer with only outdoor seating for about three.

[@karenedwards6713]

My maid is horrible and she should be fired so I would never have my home on utube. Our yard is beautiful but my yard man really enjoys our plants. We have 5 acres and to some people it would be strange, but we have a pistol range on our property and we have part of a rifle range between us and our neighbor. Where I live its more common. We just had the 4th of July celebrations and our neighborhood sounded like a mini war. One neighbor has a new toy a Class 4 automatic machine gun. He was having fun on the 4th. We didn't shoot because we have a tree that fell in the range and its been so hot that my husband has cut all of them but the last one. Big wind blew down 4 trees. The maid will never stop being lazy, so my home will not be on any public channel. Kinda hard to fire yourself though!

[@gotaigo]

You also need to look into spicing up your staple foods you eat; seems a bit bland.

[@ANTI_FAscist_WW2champs]

this house would probably cost half that… if that.. where i live lol
