bump-outs?

[John Dirks Jr]

In the description of the house pictured below, the following phrase is used.

Extra 2ft bump-outs on both levels

I already have an idea but just to be sure, what exactly does this mean? Should I be looking for anything particular with respect to this? It's a split level design built in 1965.

The description is just referring to the overhanging section under the gable in the picture. It looks more like a one-foot bump out to me.

There's really nothing in particular to be concerned with on a bump out like that.

Could you use Cantilevered? Or is it just a bump out?

In my experience, most agents selling homes know very little about the product. This includes accurate dimensions and correct architectural vocabulary.

The front cantilever is not 2 ft. and it's a bi-level, not a split.

Cantilevers are usually part of these designs aren't they? I can't see why it would be mentioned as a specific notable feature. Then, it says "on both levels". That threw me.

The words "extra 2ft bump-outs on both levels" are pretty much nonsensical. What's "extra" about it/them? The design, such as it is, speaks for itself. Anybody can see the bumps and understand them, without any description at all.

I don't know why an HI should fret over the salesfolks' gobbledegook. I say ignore it.

But that's just me,

This is a little off topic, but something I often see are deck ledgers attached to and supported by the overhang/bump out, instead of being configured as free standing decks.
