should I buy a house with a sliced off family room
First time homebuyer, looking to buy a home in a relatively weaker, smaller housing market in Virginia. The home me and the Mrs. have settled on, is yet to be built but we like the model and a similar home that was recently built that we have extensively walked through.
Now, here is the catch. Our home will be build with the main wall of the family room sliced off significantly (picture below). This leaves us with a diagonal family room wall without a fireplace.
Should we do this? Have you seen anything similar? Will this home resell? Note: We are getting about a 10% discount over other similar homes, and we are making the diagonal wall a wall of windows.
