Also, what is going on with the hardwood floor between the bathroom and the kitchen/dining table? You have that nice knotty floor in the living area (is that hickory?), then the border dividing the parquet floor from the living area is a different kind of hardwood. That's an awkward transition, particularly where you have planks perpendicular to each other. I get that they were trying to divide the space, but it's a pretty half baked effort.
And it looks like there's a big section of that different floor in front of the bathroom. What happened there?
I'm not really sure what point you're trying to make, but it's abnormal to hold your drink from first sip to last unless you're somewhere where you're worried about getting drugged. A nice beer takes me 30-40 minutes to drink, it would be piss warm if I held it that entire time.

I think there's a step there.

Oy, then that border makes even less sense. The step naturally divides the space. That's your standard issue hot mess.
I wonder if there was water damage or something along those lines that prompted someone to replace part of the hardwood with something they tried to match. Very odd.

The original floor is "rustic" white oak. When I did the original remodel the area your speaking of we got "select" white oak. It was stained then so you couldn't really tell. The wood in the kitchen is special order "rustic" and took a long time to get. Not perfect but looks good. I like the contrasting colors on the stairs but the landing area is misplaced.
I looked at staging with a bunch of new mid-century stuff but decided to use my junk. The house is over-improved for the area so this is fine.

Search Alameda County and see what it compares too. Look at this place for $820k. You'd rather have that? Same square footage

My realtor wife says lose the chair against the wall between the kitchen and hallway, and the foot rest thing in front of the couch. Less is more. You're trying to create the feeling of there being more space than there really is.
As for a Lebowski rug to tie the room together, only if it's nice, and not too big. Ratty rugs = no bueno.

I got rid of the hideous ratty rug. Agree with your wife. Thought lonely couch wouldn't look right.

My realtor has zero creativity. He hired a photographer and the pictures were absolute shit. I had to get my own. The photographer helped a little bit. I'm doing this bare bones. I think I will get rid of the pieces Ted is talking about for showings. Good idea

Newark is supposed to be a better area but it really isn't. I need to pull the Indians up to my hood. Asians already here

Hey, I see you're back. I wanted to ask you something, or, if you would, just share your history with us. We all want to live where we want to live, as you have and are, so, would you tell us how you pulled it off? How did you move from bumbfuck Alabama or wherever you said (Steve Martin in The Jerk?) and wind up owning two properties in one of the highest priced markets in America, high Colorado? What kind of "hard work" did you do to accomplish that? Up there? You know, a place that has a ton of high paying jobs, right? Really gotta know. We all should.

Thanks. All the square footage after the two steps down is unpermitted so someone has to buy it as is. I had it inspected for structural integrity. I know that means discount and appraisal trouble and will probably take a large down payment buyer. It’s so much nicer than anything in its price range I’m optimistic.

Stick it in your ass! The fact that you don't think that two hardworking adults can make a fairly comfortable life for themselves in the mountains of Colorado is your fallacy. Being a local and all, I'm surprised you haven't figured in our yet. Or maybe I'm not.
Work hard, stick around for a while, don't waste money, buy wisely and...boom! Your part of the problem.

No man, c'mon. You have the key here. I guess I'm pretty dumb. Never figured it out. How'd you do it dude? How'd you figure it all out? I know what brought me here. But, man, you're living the dream, amigo. And you have the fucking balls, the slither on the ground snakelike testicles to insult someone else about their "choice" of where they are living? Listen, you scumbag, come clean how you were able to "own" two properties in high Colorado at your age, or I'll "creep" and harass your little chicken shit ass until the end. Be a man, you asshole. We all want to know.
