All that work and they didn't spend $5k to rebuild the back deck?
For shame.

That deck is hilarious.

[ExtraSlow]

That's a sweet house and who gives a fuck about the deck, that's easy to fix. Too bad it's not on one of the better streets in that area east of Edmonton Trail, which are quieter and better cared for. Whoever buys that can be my buddy.

That house is almost right behind me - share the same alley. Exterior still isn't finished on some parts of the house and the garage. It's been for sale for FOREVER.

Always hard to understand value for a house like that. Land was probably $380-400, and most developers would have built a duplex and sold each side for $580-600. These people built a big single, and it's really hard to justify a million dollar home on that street. Especially hard to justify spending a million dollars on a home where some details are unfinished and the new owners will need to drop $50k to get it all wrapped up. I love the area, like mentioned it's quite close to my house, but it takes the right buyer to think this makes any sense.

When I walk the dogs I always scoff when I walk by it haha. 5 years, still not fully complete. But yea as you said, land/old house was only $300ish k in 2016 and most were doing duplexes to split that huge property tax bill. Hard sell in our neighbourhood as there aren't too many single homes that big and that amount of $$$. Plus no paved alley for baller cars to get in the unfinished garage :p

What a quirky floorplan... Almost like it was self-designed, without any input from someone with any idea of what they're doing.

Is that a "spice kitchen"? Interesting that the master, er, primary bedroom is the smaller of the two and just kind of crammed in the corner, while both the living and dining rooms are 'big' for this house.

[ExtraSlow]

I could totally see myself doing something like this. It's not a smart thing, but I'd do it. Reminds me of that time I tried to buy the ugly house at 2416 7 street NE. You guys hated that house interior.

I was thinking the same thing. Someone wanted a "baller" house, couldn't afford to do it all on their own and needed to suite the basement, didn't hire a good designer/architect, result is this half-baked place. It has some nice things about it (see: stove with red knobs), but it's priced comically high for what -and where- it is, IMO.

The market says houses are inexpensive there. I don't know how to argue with that.

[Darkane]

It a good area, good access to everything. South FTW
