Weird house / real estate listings.

[Kharnynb]

over here, outside of the center of helsinki, you can get something decent for 100-200.000 easily, once you get where I live, you can get something nice for that money.
1 million is mansion money here. a great house in a good location here will be less than 500.000

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

damn...those prices...no wonder your wages are so much higher than in finland, between insurances and housing, you'll be lucky to have money left

Weather costs money

Only $625k in D.C. Not a single-family home, it's a single-person home.

A good test for any person or couple that considers themselves minimalists.

my wife and I lived in an apartment smaller than that for 6 years in our 20's

not ours, ours didn't have a balcony, but same building and ours was very much pre-renovation

At 6'5" I'm already claustrophobic just looking at it.

600 Sq ft? They're probably talking about the vertical sq ft

I have a 2100 sq ft home and some land in Texas. I paid less for it total than the down payment for that would be. I told my sister in Florida what I paid for it... I had to dodge some vases and chairs she threw at me...

I guess the second bathroom helps?

Is that a shower or a launch control system for missiles?

looks pretty normal for finnish style, the square head is a new fad though

Is that a pistachio colored Viking range in the gawdawful kitchen?? Haha

 

[day_trippr]

I vividly recall when pistachio was a thing: the early 60s, when my mom's colonial repro was built, with both that kitchen and the matching formal dining room, and the matching powder room. Fortunately I wasn't wise enough at that age to know how wrong it all was

 

[brewskitom]

Is that a pistachio colored Viking range in the gawdawful kitchen?? Haha

Yes. When we were looking at houses in the area I would have considered this gem, but the fact that the combination microwave+oven opposite the range was stainless steel and not a matching pistachio was just a deal breaker for me.

You'd probably have to provide an audited financial statement, showing adequate net worth, just to get in the door for a look.

Brew on

 

[day_trippr]

When they finally unload that place the sale price is going to be a mere shadow of that ask...

“We’ve all enjoyed it, but it’s more or less time to move on, and cash out before sea level rises” Bill Donahue said.

 

[grampamark]

Not an actual house for sale, and probably posted as a joke on the platform I harvested it from, but imagine being a realtor trying to sell a house with this floor plan. Follow the traffic pattern carefully…

 

[day_trippr]

"Pattern"?
That plan can't be for real...

 

[grampamark]

"Pattern"?

Supposedly, this was presented to an architectural class as an example of bad design. Whether someone actually produced plans for this layout, or it was “for demonstration purposes only” wasn’t explained in the social media post I stole the image from. I would guess that it was created as a sort of “where’s Waldo” exercise for the students to identify the flaws. They ain’t hard to spot.

 

[day_trippr]

And there are a ton of them!

My wife found another gem for us.
She's got an eye for what we like.

The entryway is most promising, as are the solid wooden floors.
Just don't have any loose change or jewelry around.

Look at that one-of-kind roofline:

Just read the description. It’s got a three bedroom septic system. How nice.

That amenity needs some clarification then, since there are no bedrooms to be found.

Yeah, I noticed that as well.
What a strange “house.”

Something is just not.... 'right'

 

[day_trippr]

Certainly some unique ridge boards on that building

 

[bruce_the_loon]

You see a few places like that in South Africa, but the roof is normally thatched, not shingles.

Mid Century Dilapidated

"Built in 2002"

We're still puzzled after scrutinizing the 2 main living spaces, being:
1) the mostly open space concrete basement (with a ground level walkout) containing an "efficiency grade kitchen" (no cooktop/oven) 2 bathrooms, one doubling as a laundry room, plus a storage room.
2) a "2nd floor" with the nice wooden floor boards.

What's in the roof space, between the ceiling of the 2nd floor and the roof? A loft perhaps?
It looks as if there are some skylights in the 2nd floor ceiling. That roof space has glass windows, judging from the outside shots. But no stairway to get up there.
