    Better before. The brick gave the facade character. The “modernized” exterior is bland and weird.

    They took out a tree that had a few generations of growth with a decision that only took a moment. And to make a worse looking landscape. The house is bad enough but they decided the landscape to be just grass is appalling.

    Before definitely looks better. I think there’s some new design trend when selling a house to paint the exterior white. Not sure if it’s so the client can imagine their own color scheme or what, but I’m not a fan.

    I like the after more. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Edit: I do not like the new look for 500k more though. Double the purchase price!

    There are 3 houses on my street that did the same thing. Cover all brick with siding. White with black accents throughout. I can’t imagine it will age well, that contrast sticks out like a sore thumb

      I saw a video talking about how people’s moods are worse now because the world is less colorful. In the 60’s through the 90’s they’d paint cars all manner of colors, you’d have orange carpets and avocado green appliances and whatnot. Now cars are black, grey or white, houses are white with black or steel trim, phones are black rectangles…we’ve drabbed our world.

        If you recall the video I’d like to watch it.
        I really liked the avocado and orange in 70s houses. It felt warm and relaxing.

        I was wondering about this a few months ago. That the parking lot is so…dull. Every car is the same 4-5 colors. We need more color for cars.

    I’m on my phone, but it looks like the brick is entirely gone, not painted? If that’s the case, it may have been a facade with rot behind it. Happened to on of our neighbors. They ultimately decided to add their brick back, but it cost as much as your would think building the front of a brick house would cost…

    I dont think they made it worse… the first one does look a bit dated and in need of a refresh, but I dont think what they did was the answer either.
