Since your mission is accomplished, I'll hijack your thread a bit...

I am nowhere near deciding on whether or not rent or buy(hah!), but here is #1 on the fantasy list anyway:

Kitchen appears a bit dated...but the living area looks amazing.

And no, I cannot afford it.

High ceilings 

I love post and beam construction.

A 1750 square foot house for $640,000.00

Now see that is more what I am used to.

Lol, perspective is everything.  I was thinking, hell at that price I will take at least three.

Not quite the languish party pad of the other one.
But I'm sure it suits you fine.

Something I noticed on those sites, are floor plans not a thing in the US?
I find them more helpful than a gazillion wide-angle pictures.

Only very rarely do you get a floor plan.

Lot is 4,700 square feet so not really, though I guess it depends on where the house is on the property.

I don't need a big yard.  And yards there would double the price.

Then how do you build a 3D model to see how all your stuff fits?

You can usually get one if you talk to the realtor. If you are at the 3D Modeling stage you can probably make a few inquiries

If there's a virtual tour, there is usually a floor plan attached to that. Sometimes, even a 3D model of the house. But yeah, like Valmy said, not typical.

I draw out my own with the measurements given on the house's informational page.
