Sorry to nitpick, but perhaps the first paragraph of this article could be rewritten so it is more than one giant run-on sentence? My brain nearly suffered a stack overflow trying to read it.
That’s why there are are [now] two “-” in the sentence. Problem. Solved.
A 4,370 sq ft home and the living/dining/bar/kitchen is all crammed into one room that isn’t really very big?
Weird.
