Zillow/Redfin Gems

This one's pretty much right up the street from me, you'd never know it was there from the road. It's pretty cool although some rooms seem a little dark. I'd buy it if I could. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1...56890686_zpid/

Well, the biggest issue is it's in Kalamazoo...

Yup. And there ain't much that can be done about that.

Nah, just too much… it would take all my free time merely keeping it presentable. The guesthouse is all i could handle.




anything more is just wasteful.

fact.

eh, the bigger issue is smaller FLW homes don’t fit the way people want to live now and the ones that do - the mansions - are horrifically expensive to maintain.

imagine a venn diagram of innocent ignorance, hubris & stinginess with any intersectional proportions you like

For European heritage properties I’ve seen “we killed off most of the people who knew what the fuck was going on” as a factor ascribed to shit repairs post ww1/ww2 (eg inappropriate mortar)

The lot reminds me of Ernie Boch Jr’s ‘’farm’’ in Edgartown. Baller

[ötzi]

Yeah it's the 37 waterfront acres that I really like, that lot is crazy nice.

[Self Jupiter]

Yup. Naushon-esque

[Mazderati]

Group buy? I just looked at a lot that needs a 700k driveway.

[ötzi]

Seems expensive.

[muted reborn]

Did you get a 2nd quote?

Or just build a parking space at the edge of the lot and with the money left over buy a few Grenadiers to take you the rest of the way

Dayamn!

Needs more Llama bell

That is insane. How did it survive not being subdivided?

I don’t know
Maybe it was the Llama
Or maybe it was the cranberries in the air
All I know is I cannot afford to live there

Yup. Naushon-esque

The island that time forgot. What a weird place that oozes money and history. Who else can have their own abattoir (no Llamas are slaughtered there). And a private ferry.

@sorrybro, what do you think about this foundation?

[Self Jupiter]

[abraham]

They've got a lot of Portuguese over there, right? That looks like the granaries from there and northern Spain.

Non-seismic zone? Looks great! I like it better than some of the 4x4 post sitting on 12x12 pier block foundations I see in older parts of Seattle.
There is probably enough friction between the granite to keep the house from sliding off during a windstorm.

The neighboring towns do, not sure about Westport anymore.

There actually was a rare earthquake in the area a couplefew summers ago that I heard and felt on the nearby Elizabeth Islands. Really windy area. It’s a survivor.

[dunfree]

You can also see that style foundation in the Valais

[spanky]

Please excuse me if this is a repeat. I don’t follow this thread that closely.

Any Barbie fans?

That's probably really old, the area is a historic district, the colonists started moving in here by about 1650

[m2711c]

them colonists were far out, man!





fact.

[ötzi]

They were all from Colonie NY I'm pretty sure.

[rideit]

So much gross. Some of it is ‘almost’ tasteful, but manages to not be ultimately.
I still like it more than a lot of crap here.
