It’s time for another installment of Real Actual Listing Photos. Once a month (or so) I round up some of the most bizarre listing photos from around the Seattle area and post them here, with brief excerpts from the real actual listing description, and probably a bit of snarky commentary.
The idea for this series stems from the ongoing forum thread Detrimental Listing Photos, which is where you should post your nominations for next month’s Real Actual Listing Photos post.
No theme this month, just a random assortment of high quality sales material. Most of these were submitted by readers. Thanks, and keep them coming.
Enough explanation. Let’s get to the photos! Click the photo to view the Real Actual Listing.
“Relax and enjoy a view of the lake on the wrap around deck in this unique 6,100 square foot lakeview home.”
For just $1.2 million, this “unique” home could be yours. What are you waiting for.
“Provoke Yr Imagination. Striking Renaissance Architecture Blend Today’s Contemporary Features F/New Lifestyle.”
I don’t know about you but my imagination has been provoked.
“Oversized rec. room down plus two more bedrooms that could be turned into one very large one.”
For some reason the listing fails to mention the ample parking in the basement rec. room.
“Act now before you lose out. The handyman in you will rave over the 1700sf shop with 220 power and huge carport area.”
No word on whether the ‘handyman special’ car is also included.
“Original, restored charm & character in this lovingly maintained classic with leaded glass windows, Tudor fireplace, gleaming mahogany millwork, picture rails, doors, inlaid mahogany/oak floors, antique brass ceiling fixtures and more.”
I assume that “and more” refers to the “original, restored charm” of the basement mausoleum.
“This nicely updated 4 bedroom rambler IS NOT a short sale.”
I just could not resist creating an animated gif out of the first and second listing photos on this one. Click here for the extra-large version. Great find by reader Nic.
Let me know if you have an idea for the next “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme.
