This seems like the young Oppo's dream floor plan.

Bottom floor is all garage and shop. Also, separate driveway with carport. It’s the NKato Special™!

Oh I do like that. Needs more retro 50s touches. Does it by chance have a tacky turquoise bathroom? Or pink?

Kind of looks it at least once was functional in the past , don’t it?

No such luck, but it does have mustard cabinets and pink walls!

10/10 would buy.

For when you have something Italian. Back it into he hearth and if it goes up in flames, the smoke will go out the chimney

My house was advertised as having view of the Cascades. There was exactly one spot you could stand looking between two trees and see maybe a tip of snow on a perfectly clear day. I protested the claim.

Are you sure that isn’t one mine? It’s got just enough paint on the old cabinets and vanities to make me think “quick flip”!

*after reading the page* Half a million bucks? And built in ‘88? Yeah nah, I’ll wait for the floor to drop out of the market.

I’m not interested in being trapped in what would amount to a $3,000 monthly expense, and with interest that would destroy me.

Just no.

All that for only $529,000. It even has a car wash bay (yes, I am aware that’s not the original purpose of that carport on the side but to me it would be a shaded wash bay for detailing)!!!

That kitchen seems too narrow though.

Probably just the structure to support the fireplace upstairs. Although, if maybe half the garage was a utility room in the past, that could have been where a furnace was hooked up.

I wasn’t suggesting you buy it, just that this basically fits the build you’ve been describing.

Can’t deny that, Mukilteo in general is a good town.

1,400 sq ft can only get you so far.

I’d be fine in 1400 sq ft. The average houses around here are 1000-1200 sq ft for twice that price.

I’d buy the house up above in a heartbeat (if I could afford a 529k home, that is). My last house was 886sqft. This would be like a mansion. PLUS BOTTOM FLOOR IS ALL FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Miata, motorcycles and scooters in the garage. Loaded work truck in the (gated) carport. NSX and manual 540i wagon in the driveway....

The living area is so spacious. I wish there were houses like that around here. I’d love a house that had an open living space like that. Even the vaulted ceilings look great.

I like where this is going.

For me:
- 1UZ 4x4 Chinook in carport
- Sportly, longbed in garage bays
- another crappy Tercel perpendicular in back of garage
- work truck blocking bay 1 in driveway
- Vibe blocking bay 2

Only 2 BD too which is probably not helpful.  But it does seem like the market is cooling off quite a bit.

We got outbid on a home very similar to this, but it was a tri-level. 3oo more square feet, 2 baths, 2 beds, but the rooms were MASSIVE. Could easily be turned into 4 bedrooms.

This house seems stuck without an addition.

That is a surprisingly Australian 1970s kind of house. I was bought up in one not to dissimilar. And some country towns are full of them...

Yeah I’d agree. I t looks like the lot is big enough that you’d have some options, but building stuff is expensive in the PNW .

My ex once had a house that could have been considered an Oppo special, and even though it was in a crap neighborhood there were times I wish we could have kept it. It started out as a cheap  3 bd/1 ba postwar place with a detached 2-car garage on a corner lot. Previous owners filled in the area between the garage and house making a large family room, and knocked out some walls to remove 1 bedroom and expand the kitchen and living room. Then they added another 2-car garage. 2 bedrooms with a 4-car garage, and it still had a decent yard. Perfect.

The biggest problem I’d have with this garage, is the same one I  have with my current garage. Ceiling height or the lack thereof. A proper lift is surely on most of our bucket lists and garage height is the limiting factor.

How the fuck does anyone afford a house where you are?  Or a down payment?  $300/sq ft is crazy.

Eh, our house is 1400 sq ft for a family of 5 and it’s plenty of room for us.

My garage on the other hand is seriously lacking.

Here’s one for $333/sqft near me:

And once you get into Seattle... Hohhhh boy. Here’s one in North Seattle, nowhere near the water for $382/sqft.

Nope. Functional utility issues. I’m not climbing stairs each and every time I come home. Especially with a load of groceries. Which is often with a constantly hungry 15 year old son. There was a house for sale near me, located on the river, with similar lower level garage. The listing Realtor said it really hurt its market appeal.

Also, like, houses in Hawaii don’t cost that much. Just move to Hawaii. Where there’s sun and warm.

Yeah, I also think I should bought something -- anything -- when I got out of college, even though I had no money.
