Why Hasn’t this 10,000 sf Home Sold yet? 

Why would anyone build a 10,000 sqft house right next to a major freeway?

The home is beautiful but, if I could afford a 5 million dollar home, I wouldn't deal with that traffic noise.

The mast bedroom's shower is bigger than my whole family bathroom 😂😂

Hi, my husband and I toured this lovely house last year. He fell in love with it! The craftsmanship and attention to detail were very impressive. Unfortunately, I hate that narrow road leading up to the house, and I couldn't get over that darn traffic noise, it's really loud. Unfortunately, the builder didn't think things through and chose a really bad lot to build such an amazing home. When you're spending that kind of money, people want peace and quiet from a long day. Most people also enjoy entertaining outdoors, but we love the home! It's really unfortunate.

That meditation room would serve as a prayer room.

Post Script: You're doing an Excellent job showcasing these homes. You're not trying to sell them; therefore your honesty is quite Refreshing.

In my very humble opinion I think the house lacks an identity. Is it traditional? Modern? Farmhouse? It’s almost like it’s huge just for the sake of being huge. There’s really nothing special about it. I guess it would have been an extra expense but I think wood floors, beautiful wood cabinets and solid wood doors in a rich tone would add an elegant touch. The floor plan is a bit choppy and freeway noise probably doesn’t help. I do like the solarium and could picture myself sitting in a big comfy chair watching the traffic go by. It’s a nice house and 100% out of my price range but even if I had 4+ million to spend it wouldn’t be on this house. Thanks for the tour, that was fun.

The freeway noise wouldn't bother me. I find it relaxing. I'm from L.A. I lived near LAX, and airplanes flew low over my house all day! I would say stage a few rooms. It looks nonfunctional. Staging might help to create usage and balance in the home. If you don't have a lot of friends, family or parties, the size of the home could be a bit much. The brick is good--low maintenance. The price indicates that you need a buyer with a considerable amount of swag to purchase this home. It's a great house!

As someone who enjoys peace, quiet & the sounds of nature, the traffic noise is definitely the reason it's not selling!

The noise didnt bother me that much(if the price was right), but the mixed color bricks did. This home is absolutely beautiful and if all I had to do is paint that brick, I'd move right in!

😊 The "noise" is really not that bad! It's according to your tolerance as an individual!

I am amazed that this type of house would be built , by a builder, without having a buyer . I feel like most people at this size want EVERYTHING to their specific details...and really dont make concessions. That being said, I always wonder even for those buyers that build these new how good the resale will be for those very reasons. Which brings me to the idea that the house WILL sell , but it will have to be at a price where people will make the concessions for where it is and the fact that it was not built to their custom liking.

Beautiful house but it would have been nice to have installed soundproof windows to drown out that highway noise.

Baby boy please slow down. That's a beautiful brand new home. Show me all of it please don't miss anything please. On ANY home you slow. Thank you to the highest baby boy. Love your voice and your channel 😍. Please slow down for me and show me Everything. Love you bunches 😘

The house is Fine from a architectural standpoint & it's one of the largest homes I've ever seen. However, this house is probably going to be seen as too large by most potential buyers. Also I would suggest staging some parts of the house: the living, dining room & the primary bedroom; because this large empty room feels cold. Lacks the warm feeling of a home. Lastly, not only can you hear the highway, you can see the highway. It's both a eye sore & a ear sore. Absolutely no Peace & Tranquility. It doesn't scream "Move In!" Not Welcoming at all. Because of the sheer size & volume of this Estate, I don't see this Estate ever being utilized as a Private Home. I see this Estate as a Upscale Rehabilitation Center. Or a Embassy for Foreign Dignitaries. Perhaps a Campaign Headquarters or even a Lavish Set for a movie or TV series; similar to those Reality TV Shows that are so popular these days. Also, could serve as a Recording Studio. You follow my drift. If it was marketed along those lines, it would get more traffic & interest. TRUST!

That house gives me Kosher spaces meant for multi-family living especially because of the meditation and separate kitchens. Great showing. 😊

Master shower should have the fixtures closer to the entrance door... so you can turn it on then step in the shower and not have to walk all the way in to turn it on. The main floor doesn't have a powder room for guest to use... they will have to walk through the guest room to use the bathroom. The master bedroom can use it's own laundry room in that second closet or space enclosed in that large bath suite.

I enjoy your channel. Keep showing these very interesting homes! You are doing a great job!

I think they need to attempt to stage the house and that might help it sell. It’s a lot of wasted space IMO. They could have put an indoor pool in the basement. The street noise is definitely a factor. Where is it located? What size is the lot? School district? What are the comps?

Beautiful house but there's no way I'd spend that kind of money without getting everything that I want and the main thing that I would want would be silence when I step outside. When I'm entertaining friends and family at barbecues the only noise I want to hear is the sound of their laughter and camaraderie and the sounds of burgers and franks cooking on the grill.

For a home this size, you would also expect to see a nice backyard. They probably omitted it because of the road noise.

I could deal with the noise for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this house. I could even deal with the noise but I would know how to furnish a house this size. I have to say you do a great job, and I've subscribed to your channel because of it.

I’m in love with this home it’s definitely worth 5million! That’s my dream home who cares about the noise outside. I’m surprised it’s still on the market

The builders should have planted some privacy trees and a water feature to block out the traffic view and noise that would help sell the house. The laundry rooms are extremely small! They should have laid out the laundry rooms with all that space! What city and state is this house located in?

My first impression is that this is a commercial space. Someone should be looking to buy this place and turn it into an inn. It’s way too large for a real family. People with this much money are not cooking in the kitchen they’re ordering in from the most expensive restaurants in town. Given the exterior noise, this place makes sense as a commercial inn.

That primary bath is HEAVEN!!!

I love the house. That traffic noise would not bother me at all I think it's soothing. It wouldn't bother me at all I'd love to have this beautiful big home!!❤❤

I live in a modest, one-family home. I have a small family. I can't imagine keeping that house clean and furnishing it. It could work if several members of a family lived in different parts of it. I think the "meditation room" is more like a prayer closet.

This gigantic house is interior decorator’s nightmare. Imagine the price tag to fully furnish it. Plus, completing the sauna downstairs. But I would definitely consider it if I hit the lottery.

We got homes near the highway here in Connecticut and the state built a 25 foot sound reducing retainer wall along the highway. It reduces the noise to half of what you are hearing but does not eliminate it.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L❤❤❤. I LOVE this entire house!!! It’s worth the asking price. If I could afford it, I’d take it. The problem has to be the highway. When you come home, you want peace and tranquility. Me personally, I’m a lover of white noise so it wouldn’t bother me that much because this house is EVERYTHING ❤❤❤❤❤!

I can deal with the traffic! get a water feature outside and install sound barrier draperies for the windows. Plus, I am an interior designer, so every little bit of that house will be used lol.❤❤

A house next to a freeway is definitely a deal breaker. The developer/builders didn’t think that one through 🤦🏾‍♂️

I like everything about this house except the highway noise and the “laundry room.” I am not surprised about the price.

Beautiful. I'm the type of person that would add historical moldings because I like that look and I think it goes well with the medallions and the chandeliers. I think the builders do need to fence the area that's included with the property (Most new builds have a fenced yard) and have a very thick wall to dampen in the freeway noise. I think some appropriate trees to block the sight of the freeway would be a good idea. I like this house. I'm not sure if it's in a residential neighborhood or what else is in the neighborhood.

You definitely got your steps in with this home. haha I could hear the noise from the moment your video began. If a potential buyer is looking for ease of access to the highway, any local attractions, and easy guest access, then they might be willing to overlook the outdoor noise because it's not noticeable once inside. If into outdoor entertaining, then probably a dealbreaker. The home would be perfect for multi-generational living because the first floor bedroom/ensuite and easy accessibility to the rest of the home via the elevator. Even though small, I appreciate that the builder thought to include a washer and dryer for the basement workout area, sauna room and steam shower. The only areas that seem like an afterthought are the media room (rack) and the size of the primary laundry room. Space could have been taken away from the primary bathroom to relocate or make the laundry room larger. Overall, a beautiful home. ✌💙

I absolutely love the house!!!! I think the mortgage interest rate increase may be Impeding an offer. The builder could offer a rate buy down. The traffic noise is loud however the house has the convenience of being near a major highway. The fact that the house does not have a pool and spa is a deal breaker for me. Lastly fencing or a retaining wall is needed on the side of the house where there is traffic. Someone could roll down the hill

Johnathan, do you have any idea how funny it sounded when you said ( you can bring your little 4 foot friends instead of 4 legged dogs) for the doggie station . I fell out laughing. You do keep things lite. Nice house.

Hell id buy it!!! I'm a truck driver. i'm used to road noise.

The house is beautiful. Surprised about the laundry room. Sound proof the windows would help and a great sales pitch since it’s next to the highway. Probably needs to stage the first floor and master and backyard to entice the vision to potential buyers.

Second kitchen means you can have a kosher kitchen

Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

The contractor should install 2-3 rows of Leland Cypress trees in a zig/zag pattern all along the property perimeter that abuts the roadway then a solid fence such as a stockade or, preferably for that home, a Trex horizontal. We live on a busy road and the trees and fence pretty much take care of the noise.

You know what the traffic and the laundry area tuned me off. All that house and no laundry rooom.

I was thinking the same thing about the elevator and then you said it. 😅😅😅

Freeway traffic doesn't bother me I grew up with a retaiment wall separating our backyard from a busy freeway. I freaking LOVE THIS HOUSE! We have 4 adults 1 who is wheelchair bound, 3 adult children, and 4 minor children, 2 of which are teenagers that like to throw high school parties that's 11 people in all who would be living in the home! Jonathan I'm the perfect buyer and family size for this house is literally Perfection and exactly what I'm looking for🥰😍🤩🤘😊🤘 I would add a HUGE POOL OUTSIDE LIVING DINING AND EVEN A LAZY RIVER AND A ISLAND WITH SOME COOL BRIDGES 🎉🥳 Water Slides Jumping Rock! What's your thoughts Jonathan?

They really need to put up the wall to block the beltway. Also, the windows and/or insulation are inadequate given the location (next to the beltway).

Hello, and thank you for sharing. I would use the meditation room as a prayer closet . 🙏🏾❤️🔥

What a FANTASTIC home ! ❤❤❤

I live next to an interstate.the key to reducing noise is to not clear much of the trees. looks like they thinned out that treeline too much. Where I live we have houses and fences along the highway. but we also have a lot of trees and bushes also.

There are too many cons for the price of this house, mainly location, no security gate, back yard patio with kitchen, no pool, terrible floor plan, no backyard, no separate in-law suite.

WOW THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL MANSION!!!

I wish they would have made the freezer and refrigerator look like a cabinet.

Wow I love the house just to close to the freeway the layout and everything just right

That highway noise is the problem, what a beautiful home. You can still hear the noise in the Meditation Room

I love this home. The traffic without barrier wall is insane. That’s the deal braker

That room that faces 495 could be a formal dining or a flex room (Office, TV room, entertainment room etc.). the meditation room is nice but I would think a meditation room would have some view of nature, water,. I would use that room as a closet for winter wear or a closet for seasonal decorations.

This is an extremely beautiful home .

Awesome! House I love that wonderful house …What noise 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️

Well you got a good workout touring that home.

Maaaaaaaan you better not get in the elevator 🤣

For me and my family it would be the traffic and size, but with a few investment partners it would be a great entertainment mansion for weddings, large parties and business excursions.

I love this home, here is what I see: (1). Traffic, normally would not bother me, but having a multi-million dollar home, next to a (MAJOR-HIGHWAY), and the 18-wheeler, brings loud road noise, (2). In one of the CLOSETS had (WIRED) shelving. I could not believe that, skimping on a visual article, which just comes across as "cheap." However, I absolutely love, love this home and I would never say anything. Since, you asked, I gave two (2) things. I saw which caught my attention. Great job. Thanks.

WOW!! Huge, but Beautiful!!

Well look on the bright side traffic on 495 is backed up half the day so less road noise 😊

The price is fantastic! For such a big house. I leave off a road in my backyard is hill that has traffic all day and some nights. I have a big backyard and deck. I don’t sit out there and enjoy my backyard because of the traffic noise. This new place traffic is horrible

That is a beautiful home and as you were doing the walk through I was picturing myself living there, but like you pointed out that noise would get on your nerves. I wish them well in selling this property, but they might have to do a drastic price drop to sell it.

I'm another who thinks the only thing this house has going for it is the size. Honestly, the house does nothing for me. That coupled with the road noise would be a deal breaker for me.

I love the choice of tub rightous on meditation room...those master clisets are awesome...i could live in that master bath l I lololol thats a poker room lol

Beautiful home. The traffic noise doesn't bother me. HUGE just huge. I would buy it for the master bed and bath. That basement is awesome.❤

I would change the Meditation room to prayer room but they should put something that personal on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Also maybe another type of room that promote health benefits.

Nice house. Retaining wall for traffic. Should have put the laundry room, on second floor, hide entertainment center behind the wall or create a closet, and staging a must. Sum it up, give a buyer more for less price!

When I worked for the telephone company years ago. I went to install a phone line at a house recently built next to the major highway (I-95). The noise was so deafening that I had to put on my ear plugs and headset to muffle the noise. I the owner outside and his kids playing in the yard. The house was nice outside, but I would not live there if they paid me. My body was so relieved when I got in my truck and drove off.

I would put up a noise abatement wall to block the noise. I can see this as a great multi generational home.

THIS HOME IS VERY BEAUTIFUL TRY STAGING A FEW ROOMS THAT M8GHT HELP A LOT

This is a nice home but at this price point most are looking for the lifestyle it would bring. Not only is the traffic noise an issue for most because you would be entertaining guest inside and outside the property or running a business out of it but there is not enough work on the small details on the walls and lighting and some of the lay out is awkward. But it does have enormous potential.

That's not a "solarium"...its a dining room. A solarium is an enclosed patio (the walls and roof mostly made of glass) its the space you would keep plants, etc. Another way you could think of it would be a greenhouse that's attached to your home.

The primary bathroom they could've made that into a Wet Room which would've been so cool and awesome.

You scared me for a minute - thought you was gonna get in the elevator😅

Beautiful home. The master bedroom and bathroom are perfect. The price is lower than expected.

I like this house and the freeway doesn't bother me I wouldn't mind the noise I find it relaxing I'm going to buy this home as soon I win the lottery lol.

The meditation room is actually a prayer closet

The freeway is on top of you I don’t see a wall behind it being sound proof 😂😂😂😂😂😂 lol. 😂

Traffic is a real problem. Too many houses on the market at comparable prices without the traffic noise and really not much character to it, just lots of bathrooms.

I may be one of the few people who enjoys watching traffic. I actually take my lunch break in a parking lot that faces highway traffic. Every once in awhile I am joined by at least two other cars. The house is ginormous! If I had the money I would not buy it because it’s too large and I never entertain. It would be wasted space.

It's a gorgeous home how ever when you get to the multi million dollar homes the percentage of people who can afford that are few and far in-between plus the buyers who are willing to spend 4.495.000 dollars for a home there most likely going to have it custom built and not next to a highway.

Buyers at that price point will not enjoy interstate traffic. Beautiful home!!!!

It’s Insane they chose that lot without having any way to extremely reduce the highway visibility and noise.

😮😮😮oh no Mr. Bill!!!!!! You did ride the elevator!!!

Bruh! LOL. You wild for the shower test. I’m a realtor and appraiser trainee in the Baltimore area. It’s A LOT of over kill in that home. And next to 495??? Nah. But someone will buy it. That loft is wack.

I’d use it as an event venue. It’s massive!

Im thinking from a design esthetics the red brick no bueno. It could be stained a dark brown, The freeway noise a big fence then install a large water feature in the back yard will ballance out the noise. What a house. The pricing is reasonable. Think of the utilities bills. It is an awesome home.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us here on RU-vid. But I'd like to know what was they thinking when they built this home? Did they see the traffic? Because the house is going to sit there and collect dust plus they need to bring the price. down cause who in the World wants to have this beautiful home. And you gotta hear all this traffic. You can't even hear yourself think. You can't even go outside and enjoy sitting out there. Cause you got to hear all this noise. Or was it because Of the land was pretty cheap and they got a good price for that land or did they want everybody to see this big beautiful home from the highway? Cause it is a gorgeous home. I have to say but I do hope and I do pray that it does sale because that would be a waste of material. 🏡

beautiful house. I could over look the traffic. Its just a huge house.

The highway being so close is not only noisy but a lot of grounds and windows; too much public exposure and access from the highway. They need a really tall retaining wall

Seriously that shower you turn the water on is the size of a small New York City studio apartment.

Beautiful 😊😊

That traffic is a definite deal breaker...

road noise and lack of yard solid pass for me but the interior space is amazing
