[@dennispreble4064]

Did anybody notice the garage door opens directly onto the front sidewalk? And it appears from the aerial views there is no driveway on either side of the house. Other than not being able to use the garage I guess it’s awesome architecture

[@Tratios]

Its a model, they remove the sidewalk and pour a driveway and make it usable before they sell the model; see them in subdivisions like that or garage has a window and is finished and used as a office. I was looking at some of the crooked items, seems strange to backfill that huge crawlspace foundation instead of making it into usable finished space.

[@jenib9615]

It is a spec house

[@mtsmithtube]

@@jenib9615 What is the advantage of a spec house with no driveway vs. just making the driveway?

[@kevinrickert4721]

I used to live local to this place. These homes are literally built on the side of the interstate as demos. Kinda like a Car lot but for houses. They will likely never be lived in.

[@thedivide3688]

@@mtsmithtube they don't want people to drive up to it directly. The idea is you go to their showroom where they show you and sell you on the concept then they walk you through the model home. It's in place so people don't park all over the property (because people will if they can...) ruining the aesthetics. It's also for safety and security of the property since the property is open to walk through they don't want people driving up and stealing the staged goods.

[@patugejv]

The functionality of the garage is top notch! You get to drive over your grass and plants every time you put your car in the garage. Good Job guys!

[@hotrod9748]

I noticed that too. I thought maybe there is a door on the other side. Even if they don't live there, they still want to park their car.

[@jeffharry4341]

​@@hotrod9748yea. I think the garage doors will be on the back side with a sidewalk coming from the driveway to the front door when built for a customer

[@deodar50]

How about those boulders when you step out into the courtyard with the fire pit? That's got twisted ankle written all over it.

[@Craig-jw9ko]

Exactly...the new home owners could build an evil Knievel car ramp and make the jump over the bushes and walkway into the Garage every time they come home lol!

[@TheColieRO]

The only thing I would change is putting the garage on the other side. If I have groceries I would want to go right from the garage into the kitchen lol

[@eerikkinuutinen5808]

That six or eight lane highway on the front yard is the best feature ever. It's like VOW!!!

[@SteveGriggsChannel]

Give the interior design group a raise! My only critique would be the distance from the garage to the kitchen. Schleping a car full of groceries there would be a lot of walking back and forth. For me, I'd put a swimming pool in place of the rock garden and fire pit.

[@InDadequate]

pretty sure that wooden art in the hallway wasn't installed correctly though

[@kenwalker5046]

Don>t worry about the walk from the garage, you can't park a car in the garage anyway, there is no access for a vehicle. 🤣

[@SteveGriggsChannel]

@@kenwalker5046 it's a model home. It's not configured for a private residence with a proper driveway. It's typically done like this for models.

[@CatherineSui-Miller]

I second that idea of a pool in the rock garden. Overall, it is a gorgeous home with pretty timeless style. The only caveat is the location right by the freeway.

[@Brocephus77]

No driveway. Next to a major Highway. 👎🏻

[@fergferguson7370]

Love the freeway right off the front porch

[@rjrickenbach4346]

Great view of the Interstate.

[@jked7463]

Cool home. Very artistic design. They should have extended the courtyard 4 feet so you can go from the courtyard directly to the rear covered porch.

[@Mutnut333]

My thoughts exactly.....someone would crawl over and likely fall. A bridge or walkway would be a way to solve that.

[@justinmilla]

I was about to post this or extend to the same length

[@angelaharper856]

UMM...i am overwhelmed. the exterior, the floor plan, the staging and decor. so much to notice and dwell on. gonna have to watch it again. this is one of the most unique and overwhelming homes i have ever seen

[@mikes3827]

For a starting price at almost $600,000, it should be overwhelming.

[@austinpowers1999]

Don’t get out much?

[@modernvillacompany]

Hello angela harper dear friend I hope you are fine . I guess you are interested in architecture and villa design. If you are interested in these topics I'm glad you visit my channel Our team uploads new videos every day, I am sure you will like them

[@jefffaller8474]

I agree, it's unique and staged very well. However, the traffic flow and placement of the appliances in the kitchen would drive me nuts. Do you really want to have to walk through the kitchen to get to the fridge or should it be first in the traffic flow to keep the kitchen uncongested? The distance between the garage and the kitchen would become evident very quickly after a single trip to Costco. Does it have a wow factor? yes, but i despise open floor plans because you can't escape the noise of one activity intruding on the other space.

[@AliceLupin1]

I've always wanted a house with a courtyard. I also really love this house. Wish I could have one like this!

[@galechicago325]

This is so similar to the house I grew up in, built in 1963. Many of the same features, finishes and layout. It was an expensive home, custom built. All the kids at school called it “the weird house.” Sixty years later, tastes have changed!

[@gaylewhauwhau3972]

A solarium with a glass roof, plants ,water feature and fire place with seating would give the house personality. ❤

[@kmadkins1643]

This home is absolutely gorgeous. I love the ceilings. The natural wood just makes it beautiful.

[@lebogangngobeni5406]

I love how artistic it is, it's not plain and boring but rather really interesting in terms of design and interior.

Lmao it's already almost 600 grand for the house alone.

[@eldonbogs]

Y'all Americans be grateful how good you have it, in Vancouver a 2000sqft 15 year old home with 4000sqft property size cost 2.5mil (and that's 40 min from downtown!) Gorgeous property, and I love the southern hospitality!

[@Vladimir-JT]

[@dawnsullivan6233]

The architecture in this house is just beyond and so is the design factor and the interior design amazing

[@janetwatson5513]

Our dream home! First video Ever that we wouldn't change any design elements!!💜

[@katherinez9654]

It’s a beautiful home. I could picture it here in Oregon. Enjoying the outside deck and courtyard without the freeway🤪. It’s beautifully designed.

[@truthseeker9454]

4:32 - One of the most clever aspects of this design is this pantry. Stock that with groceries, water, a first aid kit, and a shotgun and you have a built-in panic room. With all those windows, especially in the front door, that is a brilliant feature.

[@gailmyers2838]

Love the smugglers pantry and the courtyard. I would add a walkway between the courtyard and that covered deck, as well as a door from the master bedroom to the courtyard. ❤

[@jamielancaster01]

Love the view of the interstate

[@yuris4489]

Spectacular view on the road with a lot of trucks. It looks so special.

[@cassidyjonson3741]

ONLY ADD would be a set of wide stairs down from the back patios/balconies. Lots of opportunities to have basement space added for extra bedrooms or game / play room.

[@ladysphenoid7685]

I’m in love with this. I’ve been eyeing it up ever since I was turned on to Schumacher through your channel. Alas, I’m in Wisconsin, in non Schumacher territory. I’ve gone so far as to consider asking them what it would take to get this built in my state! I just love it. Obsessed really. I keep going back to it.

[@ondreacounts2556]

You could take pictures of everything & he gives allot of the room dimensions so you could always take it to an architect & have them draw up blueprints for it if the company won't let you buy the floor plans & have it built yourself.

[@toddmpls23]

Love that Schumacher's most modern home designs are inspired by New Zealand modern homes and landmarks. Taranaki, Wanaka, Hawk's Bay, Huka Falls... all are in NZ, and reflect the cutting edge homes being built there.

[@BritGirlJay]

Yeah these are nice - this one was a fave.

[@edjohn4590]

Hahaha New Zealand houses are of the worst quality… hopefully these guys are using quality materials..

[@BritGirlJay]

@@edjohn4590 well I meant the design but.. good to know lol

[@davesradiorepairs6344]

I really love the design and proportions and finishes of this house, and I don't say that often... This is a gorgeous bungalow.... Although the house is close to a highway, I can see the design is to minimize any road noise, if you're on the patios... Everything practical, no space wastage... Not flashy, just very tasteful... A little pricey, but you get what you pay for...

[@cassidyjonson3741]

One wish list item for this awesome designed home is wood burning stove or fireplace in the main great room.

[@randerson4124]

I hate when I see a really nice house like this on youtube and they get to the closet and it's some walmart tier wire closet system.

[@gaylewhauwhau3972]

And wheres the laundryroom sink,?.

[@joemartino6976]

Stunning. I would certainly consider a similar design when I build my next home. I particularly like the way the ceiling material in the great room carries out to the outside overhang.

[@mrslkungpowchikn1206]

I like that too. What kind of wood is it anyway? And what is it treated with to protect it from warping, mold, or mildewing for the exterior parts? Also are these new lumber boards made to look weathered? Im guessing they are, and love the look! We did that to one of our beams - steel wool dissolved in vinegar, then painted the solution into the beam.

[@velvamineadams-parham4908]

Tim, the home is absolutely gorgeous and stunning!! The staging was great too! The only thing missing is a gas fireplace and wooden racks instead of the wire ones…. Also, it needs an extra lining of racks especially in the master bedroom closet. The master bathroom is just out of this world in floor usage…. Tell the sellers to stop putting wire racks in these gorgeous homes. I didn’t see a sink in the utility room but I’m sure that would be an option. The kitchen is to die for! You get a 5 star rating and numerous A+ for showing us this beautiful home. BBlessed! Miss Teena

[@cassityart7001]

Beautiful home. In need of a few large hilled tree/plant groups for privacy from neighbors and highway. The driveway/garage is a mystery thou. Wouldn’t use rock on porches.

[@lk2688]

Awesome Floor-plan; love the indoor outdoor space combo. Bummer, they didn’t use wood shelves in the closets and storage areas. That is an easy update later. Thanks for the tour, it was a real treat!

[@patugejv]

Those cobblestones in the fire pit area look like great ankle twisters. That is a nice security feature.

[@christinemcneil4499]

The noise of the traffic would spoil the use of the outdoor spaces.

[@HoosierSHU]

This is stunning. I definitely think a green garden would be beautiful to walk into and immediately see and then stairs to take you down to the backyard. I'm more of a navy vs black person. Blue and natural wood would just make this home perfect for me. Love it! ❤️

[@jeffmcfarland]

I love the open kitchen, dining and living room area. It's great how the living area is buffered from the bedrooms. The outdoor spaces are great too. Too bad all the views are of a freeway. That noise would prevent me from enjoying time outside. The office needs a door if you're expecting to do any actual work in there. Also, how do you get a car into that garage? Seriously...how??

[@dustinabc]

Seriously, is this house built in the middle of two freeways? And it's a model home, so the garage is likely used as an office for the community sales department. Once development is complete they tear out the ramp and pour a driveway.

[@arielshikoba1857]

MOST GORGEOUS HOUSE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!! 😍

[@tamiann542]

Great layout! There is one part of the house I would question. I wonder how the frig and pantry door would work out long term, seems odd to be at that corner angle to each other. Plus that space behind the kitchen that is staged as an office seems like better use would be a butlers pantry or straight up larger kitchen.

[@kimshanna]

Good point on the doors. If the pantry door was moved back so the closure lined up with the oven wall it would work better.

[@guyod1]

the office seems like an afterthought. they wanted the big window in front of house for aesthetics but it didnt work with the kitchen.

[@jefffaller8474]

100% agree, and I wrote similar comments about the realistic flow of the kitchen in my critique. Sometimes you discover pretty quickly that a poorly thought out kitchen is a congestion nightmare and this one is a one person at a time kitchen or else someone's always in the way. The future homeowners are going to hate the fridge location with the pantry door, and oven all in the corner.

[@MrJKellerLewis]

I’ve been binge watching your tours and this is my favorite one. Absolutely love it! If it were my house I would keep all the same finishes and make that wine room an in home gym. That master tub is dope too

[@sxerralzve2739]

would love to see a finished basement in this!

[@maryl1833]

Love this design! I would have the couch in the living room against the back wall, and a large stone fireplace on the courtyard wall with the windows on either side. Love the pantry too.

[@odafjm5]

I love this! I would need a basement and access to it though. Also would like to screen in that back porch since we live in a wooded area, and make the inner court into a "terrarium" or hot house type of area with covered see through roof and enclosed glass back maybe. Don't want snow and rain in there. I think it would get more use. What would be the cost of it keeping materials the same throughout on a basement. Also wonder about the windows and if they could be tinted so as not to be seen inside. This is just what I've been thinking of, but couldn't get the design just right! Whoever did the design is a real plus to your company!

[@Mammmmo]

I can’t stop thinking about the garage door.

[@pamelaprivette5361]

[@mena94x3]

Many features I liked! The ceiling in the kitchen / living room continuing through to the porch and the skylights, all the light throughout. I agree, a garden in the courtyard would be perfect. The various accent walls were lovely, I especially liked the ones in the powder room, master bath and master bedroom, but they were all great.

[@rubenrios853]

You could also put a grilling station in the courtyard for those Summer time Barbeques.

[@iguanita2489]

That’s a dream of a home ❤️

[@yetishank]

As far as day to day use is concerned, @ 3:01, I'd much rather the garage be attached to the kitchen side of the the house. Replace the nook sitting area behind the kitchen with a mud room space for shoes, jackets, etc. Also coming home with groceries, you unload your vehicle and the kitchen/pantry are much closer and more convenient vs hauling everything either through the front door(weird) or past the master bedroom and across the entire house(annoying).

[@ChristyDStarling]

Who would think a model home would cause so much confusion in the comments. Beautiful home for sure.

[@trynsurviven2440]

It’s a beautiful home but for $500,000.00 I would expect the closets and pantry to have actual shelves not wire racks.

[@J-kade]

For 500,000 I would expect 1/3rd of an empty lot, but I guess it’s all about perspective and where we live.

It’s a model home silly-Willy. Not the final location. Notice there’s not actually access to the garage for example. But no worries I thought the same thing for a split second 😅

[@taylorjohns6474]

It's a model home

[@Adiscretefirm]

Aren't model homes eventually sold as a residence? Because no curtains in the master bedroom or the master bath is going to need to be fixed with the beautiful highway views.

[@porschesgt1tt]

Adiscretefirm you are 100% correct. So someone will own it eventually. One of the worst decisions was to situate that house on a lot where there is a secondary road coming right at the master suite. So you will have headlights constantly shining in the master suite windows. That house deserves a secluded lot with an incredible view. All the windows are a great selling point, but they are a detriment in a city setting where all the noise passes right through the glass openings.

[@Passport50]

Terrible layout. You’d need a grocery cart to roll all your shopping from the garage to the pantry.

[@theodoretaf]

Thank you God for my retreat home.

[@funstuff9921]

[@bubbafromprison]

[@patstats1]

[@EchoSigma6]

This house is nothing but eye candy to me! Sold!!

[@rogersmj]

Lots of nice design touches, but one major problem I have with the layout is the position of the garage relative to the rest. I don’t want to come into the house from the garage right by the bedrooms. That could be noisy for kids. Also, you get into the garage with a bunch of groceries, and you’d have to haul them through the whole house - past the bedrooms, through the foyer, all the way over to the kitchen. There’s a reason most homes lay out the garage close to the kitchen.

[@aaap16annuar40]
