| QUOTE (HappiestAlone @ 7/2/2020, 04:13 PM) QUOTE (Depl @ 2/7/2020, 21:23) She wants sympathy for the divorce. But she is never going get it unless she tells the real reasons behind the divorce.
She has said nothing about the divorce, and that’s her choice. But people are going to fill-in-the-blanks themselves then, and things look pretty peachy for her right now. I wouldn't believe a word she says at this point about the divorce. Even if Don made a video corroborating everything she said I would still be skeptical thinking it was some sort if settlement they agreed on. She sees everything through a "Jen lens" which is highly, highly distorted.
Agreed. She is a known liar. Girl wouldn't know truth if it came wrapped in berry-approved container. I'm here for the pics. Couldn't care less what she has to say. |

| QUOTE (ZiplockBagCollection @ 7/2/2020, 03:48 PM) I agree, WhatDoWeCallThis. I find some of the rooms in her new house to be tacky. It will look horribly outdated in a few years. I still don't understand why she moved. At first I assumed she wanted to downsize. That made sense. But seeing the new place confuses me. Just as big. None of her furniture will look good there. The old place fit her style more. And we all knew her struggling single mom schtick was BS but the fact that she's had the nerve to try to paint herself as the sole provider for her children as her soon-to-be ex bought her an $800,000 house is disgusting.
Fit her style meaning boring? Because there was nothing special about the layout of her old house at all. What was it that you saw and said, "Oh I wish I had that. She is so lucky". Nothing I could see. At all.
To each his own. I love the layout of this new house and I don't find it dated because I like walls. Makes rooms, rooms. Rooms to walk into not just one huge space with only rugs to delineate separation. the steps between the living room and family room are fun element. Her family room layout is ideal for me. Open enough but I don't have to look at the kitchen when I am relaxing. One huge miss for me is I don't like the bathroom in the middle of room in the basement. Rather odd location. And the wet bar in the family room screams "Doing too much, interior designer". Sometimes less is more.
I would have fun decorating her new house. You actually have walls to hang interesting artwork on. Now all that white would have to go because I like warmth in a home not modern starkness.
Other than her hideous exterior, her house is my ideal. I am quite envious. But that is my taste. I look at an open floor plan and my soul bleeds. You guys look at her house and see old 80s crap. Understood. We all don't have to like the same things. |

You can always shut the bathroom door if there is someone else living with you I have never, ever lived in a house with a separate toilet room. I would also never choose to, that door handle on the inside has to be a mess of bacteria 😳
I don't like those little toilet rooms either. I have zero desire to be shut up in a tiny room with a toilet. I feel like I'm taking a crap in a closet. I absolutely loathe them. I see their benefit, if you're living with someone they can still use the rest of the bathroom while you're in there doing your business. But unless it's a necessity I don't want you in anywhere near the bathroom while I'm doing my business. But I get it, in the morning two people need to get ready for work. They're just not my thing. At hotels when they have them I never shut the door. I closed the door to the bathroom but I'm not shutting myself up into a tiny toilet closet. |

Oh wait a minute. I think that's just the camera angle. I think the shower is flush to the wall. Instead of sticking out. I don't think it's in front of the toilet.
I'm beginning not to trust these camera angles. I think whatever camera they used distorts the spacing. Like in the kitchen I think there's more room in between the island and the refrigerator than what appears. I don’t want my toilet to be out in the open like that. I like to handle my business privately.

| QUOTE (LazyContributor @ 7/2/2020, 02:35 AM) I think her knees might be against the shower every time she uses the toilet  I can see it already, the TV is going to be on the other corner of the living room so the beautiful loving children are still going to crane their neck. Also, that fridge is so close to the island. Basically no fridge access if there's something sitting on those chairs

| QUOTE (SeeminglySweetLikeJen @ 7/2/2020, 01:38 AM)  I previously speculated that she had counters replaced with her beloved quartz. This pic shows that the island is clearly different from the other counters. Island quartz matches the fireplace feature. Also, the previous listing says there is a home gym room already in the basement for her. I do not get the layout of this place, the wet bar is ridiculous with the sectional. It’s like where a tv should go. Not family friendly at all unless she intends on using that area for entertaining potential suitors and is planning to banish all kid activity to the basement? It’s just so far away from the kitchen and we know those beautiful children get testy if they do not have their grilled cheese right on time... 
. I agree. What's the need of a wet bar when the kitchen is not even 10 steps away. Should have been put in the basement. Come to think of it, I would remove the sink. It is pointless. And yeah that would be a nice place for the TV but I don't think I would take down the upper cabinets at this point.

If it does turn out to be her house, I would love to see what she does with that drab, unfortunate backyard. That is the type of thing I would tune in for. |

I only care because she's being SO secretive about it. As soon as she shows it, I'll be back to not caring same as I didn't care about the retirement home. I mostly just like looking at houses. Always have. 
I just want to finish the story to find out where she ends up. After that, unless she does something remarkable with her life or posts about setting up in the new house - love to see that kind of stuff from anybody, she is too boring to care about. I mean, berry updates and grocery hauls?!! No thank you, I'm out. |

(although I'd hate the driveways so close together lol) the most problematic part was that house directly across from the maybe house. with that fence around it though maybe it's going to be torn down it would be a step down from the old neighborhood but still looks perfectly nice to me They’re nice houses. I like the design of each, but so close together they’re like twins. Wonder who decides to mow the grass between the driveways. 🤷♀️
Not my cup of tea. Way too close together. You are staring into each other's windows. Plus, I don't like driveways that you have to turn to get into the garage. Not a deal breaker but any means but something I am not fond of. |

| QUOTE (TheRedMinivan @ 7/1/2020, 02:34 PM) There are more photos (pre-flip) on other real estate websites (e.g. Berkshire Hathaway) that give a better perspective of some rooms - e.g. living room, dining room, and kitchen. I really think this is the one, but I do have some questions...
ETA - holy crap those flippers did a number on this one.
Wow, this house was a fabulous redo. Bought it for $500K. Put in $150K-$200K gutting it. Sold it for $800K and made over a $100K-$150K profit. Not bad. |

| QUOTE (JustAverageJane @ 7/1/2020, 02:13 PM) It sold last year for $500k so the flippers got $300k for the improvements but the neighborhood is still not a $800k neighborhood.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Regardless of how nice the house is, it still will be appraised based on comps in the area. Based on that neighborhood, $800K is high. But then they paid it, so maybe they will find another sucker when they go to sell it. Or maybe they don't mind taking a hit on the house. They sure are going to take one when they sell their other house. |

| The house could also have been put in trust because Don wants to protect the assets of the children. If the house is in a trust then Jen doesn't own it. So if she remarried, her future gigolo gold digger (the only man she will attract) can't touch it. If I was worried about my unstable ex and her inability to manage herself or money, I certainly would see to it that an $800K asset was out of her hands.
Don could have made that a stipulation of the divorce settlement. "I'll buy you a lovely huge house so my children can live in comfort but you, lazy good-for-nothing Hag, isn't going to own it" |

| QUOTE (Good Morning Friends @ 7/1/2020, 01:08 PM)
Wow, I hate the look of the exterior, no curb appeal at all. But the interior is fabulous. I like that house tons more than her $1.6 one. Well done Jen! ( I won't even call her Hags for this praise). With her braggadocious self, why in the world would she be hesitant to show that? I would be revealing a room a day for content if I were her.
Brown garage door would need to go eventually. Don't like the long bowling alley style backyard at all. Hideous fences. I loathe chain-link fences. If I had extra money those fences would have to be replaced pronto and some landscaping is in needed. Shame all the trees were cut down. It looks so stark. Her neighborhood is nothing special. Looks like it a moderate middle-class neighborhood from the looks of neighboring homes. Long away from her private park and golf course.
On another note, I don't get realtors who don't show every room completely. Just peeks at some of the rooms. That infuriates me. Are you trying to sell the house or not?! Unless there is something you are trying to hide, SHOW THE WHOLE DAMN HOUSE!! Is there a dining room? Eat-in kitchen? Who knows unless I read the description? Are they charged on listings per photos or something? |
