Beautiful house. Now, what the fuck is that monstrosity to the right?

1997: 165K LOL (seems cheap even then but it was a different world)

March price 800K

September price: 1.25 MM - gotta love flippers and what they do to the market. “Lovingly restored” in ~5 months tops, these people are shameless. That being said, a techie or trustfundarian should eat it up in that gentrifying area.

McModern trash, the area is covered with it

That’s um. Different.

Hey, most of my accounts would have just mowed this down and put up 6 4-story townhomes.

Honestly I think it looked a lot better in green:

I also prefer it with trees.

They probably couldn’t get the zoning on that spacious rambling 3500 sq ft lot.

Maybe, maybe not... Seattle will mow down anything if it means more tax revenue for them by squeezing in six more families/12 renters. I’ve seen 45 units shoved into two acres before. Anything is possible.

Is it just me, or do the windows seem inappropriate for a Victorian?

I could see a couple of trashy mcmodern townhouses squeezed in there, at least they’d probably have ground floor garages. The old house is neat, but I question the “architecturally significant” claim.

Everywhere around here needs upzoning, but not just for “luxury” dwellings.

That master suite is pretty cool.

This is a quick flip, not a sympathetic restoration. They probably put 100-150K max  into it, making a profit of ~300K in 5 months, not shabby.

You’re talking about Austin, right?

Agreed. The yard looks a bit overgrown, but I love the green. The house is a more natural color too.

Until you discover that 6-foot-tall you can only turn circles in the center of the room, and have to walk like Quasimodo everywhere else to keep from getting dain bramage.

I paid $ 71,650 for my 1100 sq. ft. with a half acre and two car garage 4 years ago.  Ooof.

I’ll give you that.

We had a saying in the window washing times, that the more interesting the house, the bigger a pain in the ass it was to work in.

Real estate prices continue to make absolutely no sense to me. You can get this for about $ 1.5m in Bigfork MT , and it is actually worth it.

That place is like a checklist of the current hot interior trends that will look hopelessly dated in under 10 years.

“Interesting” usually means “needlessly complex.”

On packing units into a small space: did you see the apartment in NYC that was busted for making two floors / 9 units out of a 634sf apartment. NINE UNITS. Two people did it actually, one right above the other in the same building.

Buy my old house in Dallas. More square footage in house than this lot has, 3 car garage, pool, and less than 50% of that price. lol

I’m going to need to build a separate 2-3 car garage, but otherwise I’m in.

Yeah, that is pretty. But then you have to live in the middle of nowhere.
