The front of this house resembles nothing short of some sort of detention center, being virtually windowless. The back of the house is nice and open, and the view from the rooftop, as described, must be spectacular.
BUT, the kitchen decor is just so uninspired and BORING. It needs to be gutted and redone from top to bottom.
And the furnishings! Except for the Oriental armoire in the last picture, and maybe the white leather ottomans and the comfy looking white couch which could be used in the family room, I guess, all of the rest of the furnishings must go. The coffee table is horrendous, and the grey leather couch may be a "good" couch, but it looks uncomfortable (at least the matching chair looks terribly confining). If its such great furniture that it should be held on to, then at the very least, re-upholster it in red leather, or anything else that doesn't look so institutional.
I would also enlarge and add some architectural drama to the fireplace. Currently, it is small and so inconsequential in appearance that it all but disappears.
And I guess that the bathrooms weren't even worth photographing. What a shame.
