I am wondering what people think in general of a house with a double curved staircase in the foyer? we didnt think it was that bad when we viewed the home, but i am thinking from resale point of view, is it an eye sore? too ornate? does it turn people off?
is it a fad that is too taste specific or does it actually increase a home in value?
It would seem only design appropriate in a very narrow range of classically styled mansions in my opinion, in any thing else and even in most mansions it would seem pretentious- something straight out of The Real Housewives of New Jersey type of atrocious McMansion.
It would completely turn me off but I'm an architecture and design snob. Also it would be a pain in the azz to keep two stairways clean.

I think it's beautiful. Very formal, which I enjoy.
