In my career as an appraiser, I’ve seen many, many different and unique homes, but I’ve never come across a property like this.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

What you see as a large, fairly pedestrian Colonial style home is in fact the dream property for the single person who loves cars. The right side of the home is 2,000 sq.ft. of living area, with 2 bedrooms and a single bath. The majority of the building, 4,848 sq.ft., is open garage area with two service doors on an acre + of land in a nice suburban area of Toledo. The property was for listed for sale last summer, at auction, but never sold. Another appraiser in my office noticed it is currently For Sale By Owner, but there is no on-line listing information at the moment. I am desperately curious as to how much the owner wants for the property. It would be such a niche buyer, the market would be very, very small.

Nice garage, but the living space seems just above trailer grade...

Jalopnik should buy it and let David Tracy live there...

Wow. Who the hell built that. I was just thinking about adding on to my garage too.

Very poor design but my word, I think I could put up with that to have all the space in the world for toys.

My dream is still to have a normal, nice enough house on some land with a barn or a stable or something I can convert into a massive shop.

This is the house I want. Except, not in Perrysburg Ohio.

Right! This is pretty much my dream house. Where I live this would probably be at least $500K. As listed it’s within my price range for a house. So now I just need to find a way to justify a 14 hour commute every day.

I want to know what the cost was to build this, and what it will end up selling for... Sadly, will probably be a pretty serious loss.

I like the idea but feel the execution isn’t right.

P burg is a nice suburb, good schools and all that. That’s a nice spot too, right on the river close to downtown.
