These two completely different homes are located side by side on S Hills Drive in Bloomfield Hills, MI. The home on the left is more of a Neoclassical/French style. The one on the right is more of a Contemporary style. The Neoclassical one has a bigger front yard and also has a nicer designed driveway than the other one. They both have swimming pools and patio space. The Contemporary one has a pool house and a children’s playground; something the Neoclassical one doesn’t. Lastly, they both appear to be the same size.

So, if you had to choose, which home would you want to live in?

NEOCLASSICAL on the left or CONTEMPORARY on the right?
