Would I be able to get my real estate license and work with you if possible

[@sheneedsme]

In my expert opinion as a high end builder who has built many houses this size and is currently building a 7,500 square foot house with a 5 car garage, pool and tennis courts on a lake in Michigan I think this builder did a great job. Love the curved stone entry. The trim and tile details and staging are well done too. Personally I would have put the wine cellar in the walk out basement. The traffic noise is unfortunate but the house is fabulous.

[@PaulWolfert]

I'd agree and they don't charge a crazy amnt. I'd love to see some of your work. [e-mail]

[@SH-jv5uf]

I toured this home sometime ago. It’s pretty awesome. I believe it’s still on the market mainly because of the lot- on a busy street and with near to no backyard- which also is not particularly private. But I’m sure it will sell eventually.

[@PaulWolfert]

Did you end up building? It seems like they're not REALLY trying to sell this one and use it more like a showplace the same way Cambridge is with their Terra model: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWPSdoSOZtWMoaMsi=fZt8JrNylpfESfvp

25:39 LOL that's such a dad moment. They'd probably also somehow sneak out that window at night haha

[@PaulWolfert]

Haha yeah, I have a lot of those moments.

[@DeniseHlavaty]

Pretty place. Love the huge couch in the living room. The shower in the mud room will be perfect if you had a pool, you could rinse off. Thanks for the tour.

[@biancano11]

I love this home!! I agree, I like a natural wood burning fireplace, and the vibes that come from it!! Love the paint on the speakeasy wall!! 🖤

[@joebacarella2829]

Not much yard or privacy, of course I would have to win the lottery, but I would buy it tomorrow as it sits staged, love the outside and the inside is spectacular. I would have the nicest golf simulator you ever seen, with a full bar, there`s plenty of room, pool in the back for sure with the staircase, it`s stunning and show houses are loaded, I love it. Be well my friend.

The model home is like the car they have in the showroom floor; it has all the options checked out but you're getting the base model haha

[@PaulWolfert]

😂😂😂

[@a9p6m4]

Love to see the black being used more with windows and stairs.

[@michelledml3162]

Can’t figure out why that staircase would be so expensive. Doesn’t look anywhere near 100,000. Maybe 10,000

[@PaulWolfert]

I believe it's all iron

I exxpected a steam shower in the pb. Loved the duel island sinks. Theres alot of cuts that cheapen the over all project. I wonder whats under the carpet? Pb pocket doors connecting to bath, has no hardware to open/close. For $5mil in SE MI no way. I could find more for less . I have an address of a property.

[@PaulWolfert]

Steam shower would have been NICE. I imagine it's hard to pick and choose what goes into a model home when you're using it as a showplace for other builds.

[@reddmv5445]

This bathroom is amazing

[@willmallory9085]

Plus the basement is the coolest room in the house in the summer. This house will need lots of Wi-Fi extenders. 😁

[@PaulWolfert]

Basements are the best! Would love to see this one finished. Thanks for watching!!

[@nasa_sidthesciencekid3105]

Absolutely Beautiful Home 🥰🥰

[@AngelicaLabrie]

I didn't like the location of the wine and all glass.I thought the house would be 2 m but not 5 or 6 m. Also too close to the traffic noise. Basement and garage should be finished.

[@PaulWolfert]

Thanks for watching!! I think it's just to show what can be done in the house instead of the same old designs. Road noise is tough but the area it was built in is EXPENSIVE.

[@beckycoelho]

This is just not for me.. I prefer wooden staircases and banisters. We don't drink, so the wine can go away along with the supermarket doors in the kitchen area. OMG! Get rid of those ladders! Can you 😮 the trips to the ER for broken bones. I'm not thrilled about the light fixtures either especially in the bedrooms. Oh, and I agree with you about the fireplace. I would prefer a wood burning one. But, of course, if I could afford this place, I would have someone to do all the work for me.

[@bethlawrence5677]

If I win the lottery I’ll give you a call to find my dream place!!! Lookin forward to it 🤩😎🤓

[@willmallory9085]

46:46 I have to hit the lottery or play options on the stock market to buy this house. If so, I'll invite you over. 😊

[@missk7922]

Loved the living and kitchen. Didn't like the floating staircase or the glass wine area. I know a lot of people love but it looks tacky. I'm assuming you can choose not to put it in since you go in to work with them on design. I love your videos and how thorough you are in showing the whole house. Thank you

[@davidrupprecht2774]

Thanks Paul. Beautiful home. The concrete needs powerwashing. $5 M and the garage drywall isn't finished?

[@DejaVu-iy8hh]

I think the lights in the bedroom working off the same switch would be a non-issue for me because I generally put Alexa bulbs in the bedroom lamps and can work them individually that way. I have most of the lights in my house set up on Alexa. I feel like a lot of people are starting to do that.

[@nasa_sidthesciencekid3105]

Absolutely Beautiful Home 🥰🥰I would need steps instead of a Ladder😂😂😂

[@lisasantak3632]

The desk room off the kitchen, would be better as a walk in pantry..

[@jnmsks6052]

There are a lot of cool things about this home, but for the price, I think they made some really weird choices. I love how they did the kitchen and dining area. That was one of my favorite parts. I also really liked the lounge area, or "speakeasy" and the attention to mudroom/cleanup areas before you get into the main part of the house. It seemed a strange choice to have glass front doors. I would rather see a solid door maybe with glass sidelights as a surround to let light in. I thought the huge glass wine storage area was ridiculous and a bit tacky. It takes up far too much real estate right where everyone can see it as soon as they walk in the house, and it's not adding positively to the overall aesthetics. It would be better to have wine storage in the back near the kitchen or in the basement and have something artsy there instead, or even just open space would be preferable, IMO. The bedrooms and closets were largely underwhelming. The closets in the master bedroom were nice, but seemed a bit lacking in space for hanging clothes. There should be two rows of rods in some areas, and an area for longer hanging clothes. If you fold most of your clothes, a lot of them will need to be ironed before wearing, so that seems silly not to have more hanging areas. The fact that a house with this price, and with a huge walkout basement has 0 square feet of finished basement space is unacceptable. It should include an apartment for guests and a shared recreational space at the very least, and there could still be room for unfinished storage. Very disappointing garage as well. It's not a terrible garage; it just doesn't meet expectations for this size/price of house. Why isn't it at least deeper if nothing else? I also found a lot of the landscaping to be lower quality that I would expect. They need to cut off more of the lower branches of the trees flanking the front path, and the fact that they used arborvitae is just going to look crappy in a few years. The only way those ever look ok is if you're making a natural wall out of them.

[@MsTati67]

You're thinking of the Wonka Vader. I think that's what it's called.

[@PaulWolfert]

Yep! That's it!

[@willmallory9085]

[@FitFlexTech]

What city in Michigan is this home?

[@mrssoko5262]

Drive past this house all the time on my way home. I wondered who would build a house facing that direction and off a main road (the road noise can be heard outside). Beautiful home though.

[@PaulWolfert]

Same here - model homes are always in the worst location in the sub for visibility. Wish they built it with a smaller front yard and more of a back yard (for the future pool!) 😅

[@mrssoko5262]

@@PaulWolfert agreed. But I loved the interior of this one.

[@lisaburmann1469]

Where is it located? Didn’t see that in the description.

[@gtcih]

Right off the bat, the traffic noise would be a no go for me. After reading some of these comments, keep doing what you are doing. Show your left hand, maybe with watches, if you are a watch enthusiast! Keep giving your thoughts. That makes it real.

[@PaulWolfert]

I appreciate the feedback! I actually show my left hand but wear my watches on my right (even though I'm right handed)

[@Horsewoman-pt2ku]

Haha “this is the bigger closet. Why does this one get a bigger closet? This is how fights start with kids”. It’s not fair is a phrase I taught my children was part of life and they had to accept it. “They’d torture each other”. I’m laughing because I had 3 kids in 3 years and when they were in HS I had a 4th. My kids are now grown and the youngest is in college. I’m of a different generation and unless my kids kept their fighting to themselves that wasn’t their issues but I can definitely see that happening. This is a great layout I must say. Love the front and back upper stairs. I do prefer main floor master only because I’m older but love that upper master and bath. Would it be crazy to enclose the back porch into another family area. I would. A pool to the side yard maybe

[@starlamcelhaney2294]

I wouldn't put a lock on the connecting door in the loft. I would take the door off and wall it in 😂

[@PaulWolfert]

You'd wall off that loft completely?

[@starlamcelhaney2294]

@@PaulWolfert no I love the loft area. Just take the door off and put a wall there. For such an expensive home the loft area could be bigger though!!!

[@PaulWolfert]

@@starlamcelhaney2294 ah! That loft. I thought you were talking about the loft/room on top of the garage. I agree - a wall would be better

[@JKerr-iy2jr]

A bit TOO much black trim and accents for my personal taste, but love the big windows and exterior brick. Guess more colorful furniture and rugs would change the overall impression. Keeping all the glass clean would keep you busy, particularly during a Michigan winter or if you had young kids. Of course, if you can afford a $5M house you could hire several housekeepers armed with glass cleaner!

[@peonyempress4328]

Cool

[@PaulWolfert]

Glad you like it! Hopefully you subscribed 😅 - have a lot more planned

[@justaquilter2]

Why would you put a prep-kitchen immediately adjacent to the actual kitchen?

[@PaulWolfert]

Pretty common in larger homes - a lot of the actual cooking for events/parties is done there and not in front of everyone "hibachi" style 😅

[@lamarquescoleman9747]

5-6m and no generator. No solar panels, probably no sound proof installation for the master bedroom and first floor ceilings.

[@erinm9568]

While I found some of the features of this house amazing, I still think the layout is quite odd.

[@RamTrucks590]

I always have to laugh when I see a new home that costs hundreds of thousands, if not millions, and they skip painting the garage. 😂

[@PaulWolfert]

I'm sure the builder would do it if asked 😅

[@GauravGameti-z2t]

Few days ago i came across a video where they talked about it, they don't paint it to save in taxes.

I’m pretty sure that fireplace is gas.

[@JohnBlutarsky-m2u]

This is what you get when you ket a builder design a home. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Hire an architect if you can afford something like this.

[@PaulWolfert]

This builder has some amazing architects 😃

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

Thank youuuuuuu........it's trendy as Hell and follows the stark black, gray & white & bleached oak formula to a "T". Nothing really original, truly.

[@donaldstrickland8093]

Maybe the builder will give you a good deal on it if you used it as a show home for your real estate business have dinner parties for possible clients and show them what this builder can do

[@PaulWolfert]

Good idea 😅

[@greeneyedwarlock882]

😂😂 Your naivete' is endearing. This is Michigan and this is a construction company's model home, nothing more. It's not in Bel Air California or Manhattan and the builder is not in the catering or event business.

[@WhiteKitta]

nice home but seriously ...why does a home with that much Square footage only have 4 bedrooms??? 🧐☹....should have at least 6 bedrooms... and so the house designer is an alcoholic? (just my guess) .... I myself could not care lass about any alcohol, infect I hate that stuff, what am I suppose to do with that glass wine room if I was to buy that place?

[@pojack9979]

The fixtures colors and much of the design are giving me 1970’s vibes. Too much exposed wood.

Exposed wood is the new "thing" again.

[@kurtispunch5019]

You are not going to fast but to slow, 47 min could have been 30 min. STOP putting your hand in the picture. Continue to highlight the features of the house but limit telling us what you like as it might not be what we like.
