Look at Archie staring at James and smiling....what a happy baby!
My favorite part of the video was watching Archie gaze adoringly at Millie!
I was just going to say the same❤️
Or when he was staring at James. Clearly he is not hurting for nurturing.
He is so cute!😊
in Texas, CA, and Florida, you will find a lot of single story homes that were built in the 50s and 60s. This style is called a Ranch.
Archie is always looking for a smile from mom and dad. So cute!
Single stories are usually in warm states. Lots of 2 stories in the Midwest.
I live in a two story which is relatively rare in California, and boy does the upstairs get hot in the summer, but this is one of the warmer climates.
Pacific Northwest and New England also have lots of two story homes as well.
I live pretty much smack dab in the middle of the US and in my nearly 60 years have ever lived in a two story, outside of apartment.
I was just realizing in nearly 20 homes over that time not one was two stories.
None of my extended family live in a 2 story house neither.
I know they exist, because I plan on moving to a small town as soon as I can and most of the homes are 2 stories, but also over 100 years old.
I think 2 stories are rarer in the Midwest if it's a more modernly buildt home.
Now, with that said, we have a lot of split level homes here.
@@NunyaBiznuss I grew up in SE Michigan and we had a single story home, but there were also story and a half and two story homes in my neighborhood. All my other residences since with the exception of apartments, have either been two story townhomes (Michigan, Northern California), or split levels and two stories (eastern and western Washington state).
@@janfitzgerald3615i don't doubt it. I live in Kansas. We have more homes with basements than a second floor. Not seeing many newer 2 story homes is probably due to tornadoes. Better to be below ground than higher up.
Building up or not goes hand in hand with temperature. Since heat rises, houses and apartment structures build up more in the northern, colder, areas. In the south houses and even apartment complexes will be single story to increase surface area to cool them.
Archie is growing up so fast and sure loves his Mommy and Daddy.
2 story houses are common in the north east, I grew up in a 3 story home.
I’m sorry but I can’t pay attention to the video with Archie sitting there in awe of you both! So adorable!
The front room is usually the living room, that other sitting area is usually considered the family room, where you just hang out. You have the formal dining room and the other one is considered the breakfast area for everyday meals. But of course, people can do whatever they want in their homes and rename their rooms to whatever fit their family need.
The second dining table next to the kitchen could be considered a breakfast nook though it is a fairly large one
different parts of the country have different types of houses. to the point that if you have lived here you can often guess where a picture is just from seeing a combination of the houses and trees. even different neighborhoods have different types of houses if different immigrants settled there.
That really was a very tasteful, beautiful home. He's done an outstanding job with paint colors and decor.
Archie is adorable. He's the cutest little distraction I've ever seen. Smiling 🌝
Archie is beyond adorable!! He loves his Mommy and Daddy…and they obviously adore their precious little boy…❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE ALL OF YOU BEESLEYS!!
GOD BLESS YOU…🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
You didn't see many 2 story houses since you didn't go to the Midwest.
I grew up in WI.. midwest.. Out of 5 homes, all were 2 stories.. my son lives in austin.. ALL houses were 2 story, mainly because they are family neighborhoods, as are almost ALL Midwest city homes are for families, so most are 3 bedroom homes with bedrooms and full bath upstairs, and kitchen, dining, living room first floor with a half bath. Laundry either in basement or in an entrance area from garage that doubles as a mud room. Now we're retired and live in the new retirement community, and we're happy with open concept single story, so older folks don't have to go upstairs. BUT the family neighborhood right adjacent to us is 80 percent 2 stories because it's a family community. This guy is living in a family neighborhood.. that's why the bedrooms upstairs. There's room in basement, attic for play areas for kids, and yard for kids.
Or the southeast. I live in maryland and most all our houses are at least 2 stories of not 3. I grew up in a 3 story house.
To be fair, lots of 2 story houses in Texas too, including the areas they visited. I live in a 2 story and so do all of my family members that live in various parts of Texas.
Or the East Coast where there are probably more two-story houses than the Midwest
This house is in CT, 2 story houses are all over the US.
I love the way Archie keeps looking at you two! ❤
His basement does seem really big but I guess I’m used to seeing basements have an extra bedroom and bathroom in them. His was just wide open. Like an entertainment area.
The room next to front door is the living room and at the back next to kitchen is a family room. Usually, the living room is just for show unless you have guests or a big family.
I would say this is a high-end middle class house.
definitely not average middle class, this is surely a step up
I agree. Even if the house was located in the midwest where it could sell for 300-500k the people that live there don't make as much as the people living near the coasts, so price balances out.
1:47 omg! Look how cute and big Archie is!!!! What a doll! ❤
Archie is so sweet. Love how he looks at mom and dad.
Two story homes are quite common in the Pacific NW. The beautiful home you just checked out would easily be 800,000 to 1,000,000 or more in Oregon. And they are everywhere so someone(s) are able to afford them!
I just loved how Archie was looking at both of his parents. He even was trying to talk. Maybe he has a future on CZcams ❤
He looks just like Dad ❤❤❤❤ beautiful baby beautiful family
A finished basement adds so much space. If you have a walkout basement. Even better
The best thing about the video is the neighbor's dog who made itself at home at his house and he allows it. It's very cute😂
The little Frenchie is his dog, when he said the neighbor's dog it was the Labradoodle behind the fence.
2 and 3 story homes are also common in the Northwest.
Also basements.
That house is a fairly recent McMansion. Rather upscale, but a builders spec house, with extensive interior woodwork, but middling quality doors and windows.
Archie is a DOLL. How very cute. Another great video. Thank you kindly for sharing.
You see fewer two story houses where land is cheap. In that case, you might as well just build sidewise instead of up. You also see more two-story houses in subdivisions. In the south, we rarely have basements because of moisture and high water table. We also rarely have livable attics, maybe because the heat issue. These things are going to be regional and also depend on the neighborhood.
The area with the smaller table is the Breakfast Nook.
Texas is more known for ranch style houses which are almost always one story but big in length. The Midwest you’ll see more two story houses.
9:09 Archie looking at James saying, "Dad!, Dad!". SOOOOOO CUTE!!! Don't miss it, James, it FLIES by.... 🥰
I would enjoy seeing the next one with you three. But I have to admit that I'm happy watching Archie watch you guys. About one story vs two, in California there is so much room, and the lots are spaced so far apart, there is no need to add stairs to floor plans there. As you get into the areas closer to the mountains or in San Francisco there are lots of multi story homes.
Keep in mind this is a high end house price wise He has a lot of money
I'm middle class, and this looks like my house.
Upper middle class I would guess.
@MichaelW969 No. Not really. It's not EXACTLY like this, but it's pretty damn close. I retired early (I'm 46). But. I'd say middle class.
It depends on where you are in the country. In the St Louis MO metro area where I live it's definitely upper middle-class. I would estimate the value, in my market, to be 500K-$750K. A 30 year fixed at 3% is $3100.00 a month.
I wouldn’t say high end. Definitely upper middle class.
Out west most houses are on lots big enough to stay single story, unless you're near the water or something like that.
Depends where in the west you are. In the Pacific Northwest, except for some of the homes built in the 50s and 60s (ranch style homes specifically) the enormous majority of homes built in the last 50 years are two or three story. Even in the suburbs. And in-city single family homes and townhomes are now generally newly built with three stories and a roof deck.
Ranch style homes are much more common in southern latitudes, especially where there are large populations of senior citizens or the lots are spacious.
Multistory, some with basements, will be quite common in most other regions. Especially when you have smaller land plots to be able to add more living area.
Single stories are also called Ranch style. I've never heard them called Bungalows. Bungalows are usually beach houses.
This is like a million dollar house. Crazy.
I will have to watch the video a couple more times. I was watching Archie could not keep from watching him what a guy 😉👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗
Awww... your baby is having fun! ❤😊
Two story houses are more common where winters are cold. Heat rises.
Two story homes are normal in the northeast where Connecticut is.
Texas ground moves under their houses and it is hard for them to keep their floors from cracking without sinking deep anchors and keeping the ground around the foundations wet. So no 2 stories. In the Midwest and north you commonly find 2 story houses. Mine is in Missouri. However, you also find many large ranch houses everywhere here which mean no stairs as you age.
I live in Richmond, Virginia. We have more 2 story houses than ranch style. The newer subdivisions are 3 story. I live in a 2 story townhome but it’s actually the 2&3 stories because there is a one story apartment under 2 townhouses. My parents live in a 3 bedroom ranch style house which is technically one floor but the finished the basement (Sheetrock, paint, carpet, pot lights) & made my dad a man cave, my mom a bedroom sized walk-in closet & a storage space (they also have a large garage where my dad has a mini-hardware store 😂)
That is an amazing and very large house even by American standards. my home, while not as elegant, has similar features. I’m a single (divorced) woman and I live in the family home we shared. 2400 sq feet. I have an office, formal dining room as well as a dinette next to the kitchen, and full basement which is partially finished. Lots of storage for my shit. a craft room upstairs. Large front yard with a nice pillared porch, a small back yard that backs up to green space. I have a patio that runs the length of the house with a natural gas for pit. Three car garage (I have one car lol). I absolutely love my home. It’s a lot for just me but I wouldn’t trade it for the world.
If I was flipping houses again I also check for the cheapest price and look for any foundation issues or attic issues that might have potentially mold mildew. You know things that could need big ticket money replacement, because that changes what you are going to ask for when redoing houses most of the time it’s just someone died and they family got left the house and people just don’t want the house so it sits there for years. One house was sitting there on market for 10 years. And we buy it and fixed it up. All it needed was some love and a finished the basement. The 5 inch dust rabbits on the ceiling fan said it all
Needs to finish his basement for sure. Make it into either an intertainm,ent area or just a sitting/tv room.
I live on 28 acres on a farm against the woods…have a huge creek on the property….heaven on earth
You say its so open but to me i say cramped because of all the walled off areas.
Most houses that you find like this is in the suburbs built after 1990. Prices depends on what state, city you live near.
Part of the reason this house looks nice is that he doesn't have kids to clutter up the rooms and the dog is tiny, he's really good at decorating, and the house is updated. This is a typical American house, but in a very expensive state. This is not a million dollar mansion nor strictly an upper-class house. It is, however, not a typical house that any normal Millennial can afford nowaday, which belies the idea of it being a typical house, still it is _traditionally_ not an upper-class house. It is a typical Gen X house and many millennials grew up in a house like this (with more toy clutter). A house like this would be $700k in a less expensive state. In Connecticut, it would be listed as $1mil but bought at $990k. Actual mansions there start in the $1.2mil, but could easily increase to $2mil. With updates and increasing lot value of the neighborhood, he might be able to sell the house at $1.5mil - $1.7 mil which would be a very nice profit.
In Washington State this would start at a million and go up from there.
We need a follow up video after a few years of kids. :-)
not garden-but yard. LOL! archie's a cute lil fella.
It’s a yarden.
Texas has a lot "ranch style housing", which are mostly flat elongated. There are multi story homes in other style there especially historic or track housing neighborhoods but in Texas ranch style housing dominate in a lot cities and suburbs. different parts of the country have different type of architecture and even with the same architecture the styles may vary because of the different regions. So something like St Louis, Seattle, Boston, New Orleans will look radically different.
It depends where you are in Texas. Some neighborhoods primarily have only 2 story houses.
Also to depending on whether or not you are in tornado country there tends to be more single story homes in these areas just so that the tops don’t get blown away , course if tornado is strong enough won’t matter either way
Do more of this guy’s house. He seems like a pretty cool kiwi.
stopped watching for awhile then came back and now u got a baby i your lap! funny how time flies and things change.
In Connecticut, I would peg this as a $2+ million home. Easy.
Oh goodness Archie just stares at his daddy. ❤
Two story houses in suburbia are more common in the east coast and colder areas where conserving heat in the winter is a thing. California has the ranch style which is more popular in older houses and overall style wise in any new construction for single family. The two story in the south is a thing but depends on budget and temperature extremes. Also, earthquake regulations, zoning, and pricing have made condos, apartments, or townhouses a newer thing in California and west coast in general. So….Lots of factors, including style
A little history for you all. Most people didn't live outside of major cities until the end of WWII. When they did move out in the "country" whole communities sprung up using basically the same house style. To this day you can see how whole neighborhoods are basically the same house type with some being different. Why? Because it was easier and cheaper to build on mass. I was going to say to see more 2 story homes you really have to travel up from Virginia to Maine and west to parts of upper-state New York, some out to the West Coast. The other parts of the country use single-level homes due cost in both building and heating/cooling of the 2-level homes. Finally, environmental issues such as tornados, hurricanes, and floods make the insurance to replace homes less likely to be built, outside the traditional farmhouse. Now to finish, I do not know who this man is, but I did notice that he had a Connecticut plate, I also (now) see that he lives in Southern Connecticut. As a resident of the same state. I can tell you that home is worth well over a million dollars. The walk-up attic is rare in newer homes. I highly doubt he could put a living space up there due to fire code restrictions. The basement was massive, I am surprised that a steel beam was not used to support the home. But whatever. I hope that helps
The key is to live where the cost of living is reasonable. Taxes etc. Homes in Texas are cheaper than in New York as an example.
I looked at Texas, but the property tax rate in Texas honestly scared me off. It's twice what I pay where I am.
@@Anon54387 My property tax has been reduced 66 % by the state. No Income tax.
I've seen videos of Jersey. Looks like a wonderful place to live. ......Dallas, Texas But I've been told Jersey is the most expensive place to live in the world.
Archie is absolutely adorable 💯 !
Areas where there are lots of hurricanes tend to boast more one-story houses
2 story houses are usually found in the outskirts of towns
My wife and I started out with a one bedroom apartment. Give it time it will come. This is a house for a man and woman with three kids, two cars and a dog. You could get this house outside of Dallas for $625,000. @20 % down..with a job.
Don't feel bad , my girlfriend and I live in a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment that is only 1200square feet . We are 56 and have lived here in the US our whole lives except for visiting other countries or being stationed overseas with the military and we couldn't afford his house even before he started fixing it up . Here in Texas you have to get away from the city center to see multi story homes . Also n some areas that get at least 1 or more tordado per year on average , you might not want a taller house . The winds on the outer edges of a tornado can rip a house to shreds even if the tornado itself misses it . The higher the structure the more wind force can hit it . Not all houses here have basements either .
Archie's play room in the attic, build your studio and man cave in the basement where you can add a WC
Different styles of houses across the US. So variety is common.
My husband and I turned our basement into an apartment that we rent out. It provides us with another source of income every month.
This style of house is pretty typical on the eastern side of the USA. Texas houses don't typically look like this, though they could.
I will never understand why contractors build basements like that, but don't finish them. If you were to get a basement like that, I'd say use it as a recreation room and as Archie gets older, he could grow with it and one day he'd be the coolest kid and everyone would want to hang at your house. He'd have a nice room where he could hang with his friends, but you could still keep an eye on everyone. I think as a parent, you want to be the parent who's house everyone comes to. You get to know what everyone is up to!
Up here in the northeast you are most likely going to find the large 2 story houses.
This is not the majority of American hones by any stretch of the imagination
that house is in Connecticut which is a small but high dollar state. That house isn't really typical.
He is from NZ where all animals are named TUI lol.
I live in Houston. Those types of houses are out in the burbs and not really something you see in areas that a tourist might visit. You would have to go out to the neighborhoods.
In Texas and much of the U.S., the larger houses are usually located in the suburbs outside of the big cities.
This house is upper middle class. I am in the Phoenix metro area, and our home is 4,180 square foot two story, 4-bedroom a loft and game room. It's as large as the house in that video. But depending on location, that house is probably 1.2 million, whereas mine is 800k. It all depends on location. Texas is still one of the cheapest home prices for the square footage you get.
This guy makes some money. That house, depending upon where it is, could be worth a million bucks. With another $150,000+ in renovations and furnishings. Probably $30,000 in landscaping. Oh, lets not forget the BMW.
You could fit my entire house, and most of my 2-acre lot of land into that guy's basement, LOL! --Dan
In Texas they have "ranch style" houses. 1 story. Much of the rest have 2 story...
A bowl of sweets for luring children in.
When we had a basement in Maine we used it for David's shop. He does woodwork. makes treasure chests cabinets things like that.
The style of houses depends a lot on the area of the country you are in. Here in the Midwest I would say the more common are the two story. Out west and in the south where you pay a lot more cool homes per year single stories are more efficient. The climate and weather conditions play a big part. In the middle of the country basements are important due to storms especially tornadoes, in Florida single story cement or cement block homes are more sturdy during hurricane season. Up north homes with alternative heating sources, fireplaces, wood stoves and wood furnaces are more common. Bedrooms upstairs there make sense too because heat rises. The one thing that has never made sense to me though are all the homes in California built up a the sides of mountains. With earthquakes, landslides and wildfires doesn’t seem to wise🫨
This house is in a very wealthy section of Connecticut. The town is Greenwich which is on the New York State border. Not typical home in all of Connecticut for sure. I live toward the center of the state and houses like this would probably go for half the price of that one.
This house is architecturally common in the Northern part of the US, but it not common in terms of size or what the normal American would have. It is a very nice, very expensive house. Houses that size would go for over a million, if not over 2 million in AZ, which is more than the average person could afford.
There are more 2 story houses in the northeast part of the country, especially older homes.
If someone said to me, let’s go hang out in my garden, and I went out there and there was not an abundance of colorful flowers, heads of lettuce, tomatoes, or some kind of vegetables I’d be so disappointed. Other than that It’s not a garden. It’s a backyard.
He has no swings or even a tree house for his kids in the backyard. Therefore he must be single. He sounds like he's from New Zealand. The house is a million dollars with 3500 sq ft. The house is in South Connecticut. I live outside of Dallas and I have a three story house. No basement . This home would be far less in Texas.
I am surprised that y'all didn't see the two story homes in Cedar Park, TX.
In Washington state, real estate is prime . Houses are mostly 2 story and on tiny pieces of land. If you find a single story (rambler), you are lucky. Right now there, the prices and interest rates are horrible. 😢
Million Dollar Home for sure
Since this house is in southern Connecticut it would probably sell for $1,000,000 or more. It's fairly new construction, with a higher-than-average interior trim detail and I would guess about 5,000 square feet in area. You have to pull in a large income to afford a house like that. By comparison, I also live in southern Connecticut in a much more modest forty-year-old house of 1,800 square feet, and its estimated value is $350,000. Connecticut is a pretty state with nice residential areas, but it is expensive to live there. Two story houses are very common in the northeast.
Just found you guys, fell in love with your content! Come visit Colorado Springs and see Pikes Peak, it was mind blowing to me the first time I laid eyes on it.
Looking at the features of this house, it looks like, at least internally, a modern take on American Edwardian (1901-1910) style homes. Especially with the entrance layout with the sitting room and formal dining room. Once you get to the kitchen and living room is where it looks more modern since open floor plans are popular today. I feel if it was a true Edwardian house, the formal dining room would have had a walk through to the kitchen, and the kitchen and living room would have been separated by a wall with a walk through. Pocket doors were also popular. Not sure if this house was built with any. I’ve heard they are making a comeback but they are a pain to fix if the track breaks.
But this is just my opinion. I really like Edwardian houses and have seen many floor plans of them. I hope someday I can have an Edwardian style home. I’m actually not a fan of open floor plans, which makes me fairly contrarian to current popular design 😅
Keep in mind that in areas tgat are very sandy soil, like Texas, Florida, and California especially near the coast lands, there are high water tables there, so the don't usually dig basements or build many two story houses.
The houses tend to change depending on the area of the country
