I don't see a problem with that second house. The first one looks wretched -- cookie cutter character, oversized garage, and barren landscape. But each to their own (property).

Agreed! the second house looks a lot more interesting. I bet they have cool stuff in their back yard

If they’re worried so much about the neighbor’s houses then they should buy a lot of land around their place.

I live in the country and suburban sprawl is a real issue out here. When a $500k house pops up near an old farmer’s place the taxes instantly go up for the old farmer. Sometimes so much they must sell their farm because they can not make the taxes (happen to a friend of my dad’s). There have also been cases of the farmer being ordered to sell his livestock (chickens in the case I know of) because the new neighbors complained.

Lots of these people say “they want to move to the country” however they bring their suburbian attitudes with them.

I that white stuff really lowers the resale value IMO
