interesting, but i feel like it's incorporated too much trendy finishes into the work done on the interior. trends change and all of those severe tiles choices, over-the-top open plan, and quick-flip grey interior accents are going to date it terribly, and anyone looking in that price range is going to be critical of those choices

be very curious to see how close they come to the asking price

And they seem to think it's okay to just splash shower water all over the bathroom. (See pictures 41 and 46 at the Zillow listing.)

The master bathroom shower tub area actually looks deep enough for no shower door or wall, but I agree the other bathrooms look to shallow for that. At least half a glass wall would probably be good. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Maybe they were going for a "European" bathroom look.

I've seen the same thing in listings for much less expensive rehabs and new construction. I am starting to think it's purely for photos/staging to make the bathroom look larger and less cluttered. The assumption is that the buyer will add a shower curtain.

If so, that's quite tacky and cheap. How much is saved by not putting up half a wall of glass anyway? If you're going to put all that money into some ugly busy af tile in a chevron pattern, why not put up a bit of glass... Smh.

Stuff like that just makes me wonder what is it I cannot see that they cheaped out on.

The tile work in most of the bathrooms definitely looks too trendy.

People should just go with a subway tile and call it a day. Or marble, or whatever stone slabs wealthy people would use.

Agreed the bathroom tile is gross. I think a lot of what makes it look trendy are the god awful light fixtures and staging. Surprisingly, I like the stone slab they picked for the island.
