Wow..I don't care for the decor that much but who cares this house is so cool! I'll show it to my husband, will make him happy:)

I think darker green roof might look nice. But if you're just looking at the house tomorrow-you have time. I don't know how much of course..

Because in our market that listing would have been sold yesterday..

It seems to have been listed once and now re-listed. The inside is pretty crowded for my style but I can work with it with my own stuff. It doesn't come furnished. The only furniture I would consider making an offer on would be the porch stuff as I don't have anything really and could work with that. I think it may be overpriced which is why it hasn't sold. Everything else in that development is a good bit less on the square foot price, but they also don't have this level of finish work.

I think the brown roof color is perfect as it looks right now. The brown, to me, wonderfully ties in the brown trim, and surrounding nature. I think gray would totally ruin the look.

I like a dark gray roof because around here a house like that would likely have cedar shingles and they weather to a gray color. It looks natural to me with that wood exterior, which I think is very cool!

We have looked at dozens of homes and lots and this is one that appeals to both of us for different reasons. I can make it work and will actually enjoy something so different from what I'm used to. Hubby is a woodworker and loves the detail. Usually he likes more mission or stickley style which I can't stand so am happy o compromise on this style.

I'm also itching to update the landscape.

here is a shingle I was looking at,

The Autumn Harvest or Dusky Gray would be my choices for best appeal.

The autumn harvest seems like a good blend of Browns and greys.

Will this be a vacation retreat or your full time home? It is really lovely, and perfect for the mountains. I will say that if it were my full time home, I'd have to paint some of the wood walls (I know, heresy!) It would just be a bit too much wood to look at 24/7. Maybe just a bedroom or two.... Anyway, regardless, it seems like a beautifully crafted home. That river deck/dock is to die for!

I think the a grey roof would look great. That is a gorgeous house. Do you need to do something with the wood inside to maintain it looking like that?

This will full time retirement. I will have to lighten up as well, not sure how but will figure that out if we get it.

Hubby is the woodworker so he will be all about maintaining the wood.

Being on the river is our hope.

OMG!!! That's my dream house!!! You don't need money to remodel the inside - it's gorgeous!!!! A new roof, either red or green would look great IMO. Brown is a safe color that works fine too. But a pop of color on the roof would look great too,

Quick mock up-

The woodwork in that house is truly extravagant.

They went too much a theme in my opinion..I don't like themes. But the decor can be changed, little details like handles etc can be switched..the bones, the deck, the river will stay there:)

Gorgeous place

As for overpricing it's hard for me to relate to that because it would be easily twice as much around here.

In short- I hope the house feel right for you when you look at it tomorrow, and you'll get it.

Just talked to the agent and got good responses on my questions, one there is room on the lot for a 2 car garage, and 2 I can move the laundry to the basement. Not my favorite thing, but right now the laundry is kind of between kitchen and dining in a closet. I would make that a pantry.

The coolest thing is that it is also a weekend rental so we could rent it and really give it a try. Like that tv show!

The stairs down to the deck/dock look pretty steep and no handrails. You might not be able to enjoy that part of the property as you age.

They did execute the theme pretty well. I also couldn't live with that much wood for my main house. Staying there for a weekend would be a great idea.

Yikes ! I wouldn't want to slip in that bathroom. Those antlers attached to the wall could do some pretty severe damage ! :(

I like either of the two shingles on the second (bottom) row that you posted. I definitely think you need something lighter than the colors in the first row, which IMO will make the house look much darker than it does now. Cool house! Kind of Hansel and Gretel-ish.

Love the bedrooms. I think I could really sleep well in that master (I'm assuming) bedroom. And the porch....

it's so close to the edge and such a steep area. Are most mountain homes like this? I think I might worry about erosion.

I adore it! You can leave it rustic or add some paint to certain walls or ceilings. I used to live in Georgia an know the area very well. What a fabulous location and unique and charming house!

All the mountain homes are built on the edge of cliff! It took me some time to get used to, but that's how it is. As this area has quite a bit of rock, they put the foundation piers onto rock.

As to the steep walk down to the river. Hubby and I are quite active now. And at the point we can't go down there we will be just as happy sitting on the porch up at the house and watching the river go by. The master is on the main, as is all of the main living area. The funny thing is that the upstairs bedrooms are also accessible with no steps as well. the little driveway goes up around that side and there is a door right into the upstairs bedroom area from there. The real estate agent told me it was so guests could get luggage in and out and not have to bring it up/down the stairs and through the kitchen/living/screened porch as that is how you come through from the front porch.
