It isn't even a proper red colour, it's a washed out brick kinda colour.

One of our must haves is both a toilet downstairs and one upstairs. My aunt and uncle (with the spiral staircase) only had one upstairs and it was a pain to go those stairs to use the toilet. The one upstairs ideally is separate from the bathroom, but we can live with it if it's in the bathroom.

My sister had her counters intentionally raised and it works so much better. Our kitchen, which my grandparents had custom build, also have higher than normal counters...for the 1960s. For my it's just a smidgen too low, so when I have to cut up a bunch of things it isn't fun. I love making Pico de Gallo, but I rarely make it because my back starts hurting.
But we're not going to visit the house on Tuesday, and probably also not the one on Friday and my sister and I won't be going to the Balloon Fiesta in Barneveld (we used to go with my grandparents, my grandfather was in a ballooning club). My sister felt a bit under the weather this morning and tested positive for Covid (her first time). And since our parents' health is fragile we are going to play it safe. Luckily neither of the two houses were big contenders.
