The front roof line combined with the unpainted wood siding is just horrendous. The late 60's/early 70's were a bad time for residential architecture. This remodel has actual made the house uglier.

Yeah, I could post those 50s and 60s Brady homes all day in this thread:

Ditto with townhomes or newer homes with 3 garages front and center like a mutant monster.

Or skinniesI hate skinnies.

This one's trying so hard to be ugly, it's kinda cute.

But what I hate the most is the houses made of light, one-inch tall brick. Absolutely hate 'em. Particularly if they paint them over. I'll see if I can find a prime example.

Of course, Now I'll probably end up finding one that's an absolute bargain and can't pass up, and end up living there for 50 years. ;)

You have to see this one in person to really appreciate how much it looks like a waste treatment facility.

I like the house, but could not deal with living in the trees like that. Looks like what I used to call a "canyon house" when I lived on MI. Down in a canyon above one of the coves on the east side of the island. No light in the afternoon, kind of damp, dark and dreary.

I guess we truly know the cause of the deforestation and global warming now.

Who knew it would be a man in phinney ridge?

To me, putting parquet on the walls is like putting wallpaper on the floor.

This has gotta be the only house I have ever seen in Seattle with a pool. They seem to be pretty proud of it on the listing; I guess that they are hoping all of these scorching 84 degree days will reel in the buyers.
