    This isn’t a refrigerator with French doors. It’s called a side-by-side refrigerator. The phrase ‘French doors’ is used with very wide refrigerators with 2 equally sized doors, not one with a narrow door for the freezer and a larger one for the refrigerator.

    We call this kind of home a McMansion in the Mid-Atlantic area. Because it’s much bigger than the typical family starter home and they build them by the thousands all at once in massive developments that eat up farmland. This is what you can expect most *newly constructed* homes to look like here, even though most of the people who were born here and work locally can’t afford them. These are homes built for people who commute to cities, but want to live ‘in the country’. The houses are all basically identical in these McMansion developments, with nothing but builder-quality options unless you’re willing to spend another three quarters of a million dollars to upgrade your cookie cutter McMansion to a custom mansion. They’re built cheaply as similarly as possible because it keeps costs down on houses with three times the square footage most families will ever need, with a spare few builder options available to buyers to personalize them. They are hopelessly overpriced for the suburbs. 😆 The footprint of this one isn’t particularly unique. In fact, I have a friend in the Philly suburbs whose home is nearly identical to the one in this video. There are a few walls and doorways that are different, but the layout and square footage is otherwise almost identical. These homes are by no means representative of ‘most’ American homes, though. People with *money to burn* buy these homes. The rest of us stick to old construction, neighborhoods built in the 1900s-90s. 😆 I’ve never lived in a new construction home in my life, even though McMansions are all they build here now. It’s kind of sad, tbh, because these homes just don’t have the same personality and craftsmanship as the older homes here.

      @@mom2jsh In my experience, I wouldn’t want to live in any of the places where this house is selling for less than $500K because there won’t be the kind of jobs there for most of the population that can support 2 working adults buying a home this overpriced even with only builder grade quality materials. Like I said, a friend owns one of these in a very good neighborhood in the Philly suburbs, but the building quality is sh!t compared to all the older homes she’s lived in before. They had to invest again what they’d already spent on the mortgage to reno the house and landscaping because the original build was such a trash job.

      One of the things I find shocking is the absolutely shoddy construction of houses these days. Not all builders are bad, but enough houses are built with errors and corners cut that I would not want to live in them. And by the way, remember when the 2x4 was 2 inches by 4 inches? If so you are probably on social security like I am. Now though they are moving to the 2x4 being 1.5 by 3.5. And look at the truss quality, just overall build, these houses are not built for generations, they are barely going to last till the mortgage is paid off, and that is if you dodge storms. My house was designed by an engineer/architect as his own home, the beams are huge, 4X10 of real 4 x10. The open spaces and 20 foot ceilings have no internal supporting structures, no columns, they are engineered so that the the whole roof structure sits on top of load bearing walls entirely self sufficient using triangular steel gusset reinforced semimonitor roof design, each gusset has 21 one inch thick carriage bolts. So there are a long row of windows up there that let in the eastern light in the mornings, and they open so you can let heat out. I have my house insured for a reconstruction value of $440,000 but I seriously doubt it could be replicated these days for anything less than $600k. My neighbor's houses will be long gone when mine is still just settling in. You can't build a house with cardboard and Popsicle sticks and expect it to be there 100 years from now.

    Regarding the fridge in the video:
    In the video, I think most American's would call that a side-by-side, because since there are only the two doors, each door would go into its own separate compartment. One side would be the freezer, the other the refrigerator.
    The french door refrigerator would have french doors on the top, that is, two doors that open into the same space, then typically a freezer beneath that is usually 1,2 or 3 drawers that pull out, pulling the contents out with them. The french door fridge needs a particular type of mechanism to seal the two doors together when closed, and to be able to open them in any order.

    Hi, I’m over 60. I grew up poor in a big city and small houses. My parents had a bedroom, and there was one more bedroom. There were 4 children. The 3 girls shared the bedroom. We shared one dresser and the closet 😉 . There was one bathroom. etc
    In my whole life, despite academic success, I’ve never managed to live in a house this nice. Forget the whole size. Take off half the rooms, but make it with the couples bedroom, and room for the exercise room. I don’t know how I still ending up not that far from poor. I live with more space, peace, and safety but somehow missed that whole “we got the house” phase.

    @johnlabus7359 Місяць тому +1

    This house is a classic suburban Eastern/Midwestern USA McMansion. These houses are typical builder quality (not highest standard of finishes/materials) and emphasize size over quality. Houses like these were typically built by the same home builder across an entire suburban subdivision. Usually these types of neighborhoods have a few/several floor plans from which to choose and some options within each of the plans. For example, I suspect that the added space in that giant bedroom was optional. I also suspect that other options for that space included it being a separate room that is accessed from the upstairs hallway. I suspect that this house was built sometime between 1990 and 2010 based on some of the styles, wood colors, and superficial details like the columns between the living and dining rooms and the Palladian window. These sorts of details were pretty common in that time period and were used to express grandeur, which is pretty common in a McMansion.
    While a house of this size could cost millions in a places like California's Bay Area, I suspect that this house wasn't all that expensive comparatively. I say this because there really isn't much about that house that looks custom or improved since it was first built. I don't know exactly where the house is so I wouldn't dare put a price tag on it. She says that she's going to Maryland, so maybe this is in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, or northern Virginia? The further away from DC this house would be, the cheaper it would be.

    I will note - in the US, there is a lot of space, and a lot of wood. It's easy to construct wooden homes, and depending on the area they can be quite large compared to European homes, and still relatively affordable. It all depends on location, really, but our home in a fairly small city in Arizona looks kind of like this one. We purchased it outright with cash from the sale of our previous home... which sold for nearly four times the cost of this one, so we had plenty of cash to do remodel adjustments (mostly to the master bedroom bathroom, which, yes, includes both a walk-in shower and a full bathtub). We also used a lot of the extra money to remodel the kitchen a bit and furnish the place. The new home is also literally twice the size of the old one.
    The difference in price per square meter is simply location - we moved from a place where space is limited for a lot of reasons, including local laws and regulations regarding construction methods and restrictions (earthquake regulations) to a place where none of those restrictions applied, and there is plenty of open land on which to expand the city. So the difference in value of the property was kind of absurd to us... but we still feel we made the right choice in the end, and absolutely LOVE where we live now! America offers a HUGE diversity in options in living spaces - it all depends on where you want to live and what you want to do.

It has a separate shower and bathtub, two separate sinks/vanities for each of them on either side of the bathroom, and the toilet is behind a door in a tiny room. This house is very large, and my parents house is about 3,000 sqft.

    A formal dining room is for eating when you do not want people eating in the kitchen. The kitchen eating space is considered informal and for a dinner party or important guests or large family feasts the informality of the eat in kitchen is inappropriate. My house is 3,435 sq. ft. under roof, and it is not small, but it is also not large. It is a little above average, and because of the high open beam ceilings which peak at about 20 feet it encloses a lot of space, as well the master suite is enormous, about 900 square feet. And the floor to ceiling windows through most of the house are great. There is a sliding glass door out to the pool that has four sliding doors that open all the way and hide, called pocket sliders, so the whole living room wall disappears to the lanai. There is a lot I love about it, but cleaning 160+ panes of glass is a pain, and I have a pool service to keep that clean, and I have never understood the whole huge bedroom thing, all I do is sleep in there (single and live alone) I have not even decorated it because why? It is always dark and I am unconscious. How big does a bedroom need to be when you are conked out? As long as it has more than 8 hours of oxygen you are good. And I have two other bedrooms that I do not use at all.

    The extra space/room in the Master Bedroom is called the Master Sitting room. Nice extra space to have if you just had a baby I will say. Every Master bedroom bathroom in every house I’ve ever lived has had a toilet with a door and a shower and a bathtub which usually becomes for the kids since it’s the biggest bathtub in the house and the little seated area makes it so much more comfortable position for giving your child a bath. Also, kids like to pretend it was a swimming pool. When you said you’d make it bigger, you also missed there were two separate vanities on either side of the door. His and Hers.
    If you ever move to the US with your budget first and all the things you want in your house and THEN search for the city and the state. Depending on where you pick you can have just about any kind of house at any price. The only thing you have to check besides those is what the property taxes are for that location and if the house is in a good school zone and voila.
    Since you’re not in a situation where you’re trying to stay in a particular city to close to your family or a job you can have many many options.

    A standard fridge has the freezer on top with the refrigeration section underneath. If the the fridge doors are like hers, that is called a 'side by side' (fridge and freezer side by side). Some may call it a 'french door', but it mostly means a wide fridge with two doors for the fridge portion and the freezer underneath. I don't know if it follows in Europe, but two doors for a single entry or exit are called French Doors in the US. They can be doors to a room, or doors exiting the building or doors on your fridge.

    The stairs to the kitchen from the entryway make me wonder for things like bringing groceries in. This may be a solely American problem but when I do my monthly buy of a combination of fresh (fresh still gets bought once a week or at need too) and staples, it is frequently five to six American paper bags for $100 to $200. Taking these bags from the back of the car to the kitchen involves three outside stairs, across the covered porch, then a short walk to the kitchen and pantry. On a hot, cold, raining, raining and and cold day, or just when my back is kicking up, that set of walks has to be done over several hours with canned goods possibly staying in the car overnight. The thought of having more up and down stairs between me and the kitchen doesn’t appeal!
    She is very wise to have all the inside painting done before they move in. As one who likes to change the color of my space every few years moving my furniture ( health young people do most of this, but 77 years of collecting “Stuff” I love, makes it a big job!

    The cabinet color looks good now, but it has a tendency to look really bad in 10 or 15 years. Much depends upon the lighting. Dark wood cabinets can be oppressive if the lighting doesn't make up for it. I like stainless steel appliances but, they can be hard to keep looking brushed and glossy, if you do not apply stainless steel finish spray then the surface dries out and fingerprints because of the oils on hands show up really sharply, you can see the handle always has an oily sheen when the rest of the steel doesn't making it look bad. And a whit fridge would not show those two glaring dents like this new fridge has. Mine has a dent also where the range hood sticks out a little and if you are not careful the fridge door will hit it. There is a dent in mine though small, but easy to see which you would not on a painted metal skin. It does look really nice when freshly polished though.

    There really is no such thing as a "Typical House" in America... That being said, this is pretty typical in at least the North East. But even then, the range is going to be entirely different depending on state and proximity to a major city and stuff.
    In my area, a comparable house, with far more land, goes anywhere from $300k - $550k (Way more land though)
    And while I don't know for sure, it would probably be on the low end of similar in Maryland.

    I HATE large bath tubs. The bigger it is, the less it's used. The water doesn't stay hot and unless you use a tankless water heater for that bathroom, it takes all the hot water the waterheater can make to fill it up.

    This is a pretty standard new construction style home in America. It depends on your location whether that kind of house is expensive or standard-- I live on the east coast and there's enough houses that are older (between 30 and 130 years old basically) that are on the market that a new build seems very expensive. In a lot of areas of the West and midwest though, there's less historical housing and so almost everyone is in new builds. Also of course, it's going to change price due to its proximity to other stuff. Basically the less the commute to the majority of the jobs, the more expensive it is. (In my area it'd probably be $400K+-- but my older home is less than $100K, so for my area, someone living in this is rich. Lol.)
