I think we have a new challenger for most bizarre Seattle listing: 3235 Magnolia Boulevard W
This home actually made an appearance in a previous episode of Real Actual Listing Photos, but since that time the listing agent has cranked the dial up to eleven, so I decided it’s deserving of its own special dedicated Real Actual Listing Photos post.
It’s not just the photos on this one, though. The listing description is pretty amazing as well:
Buy today; live here very happily knowing you have higher aspirations. As your life evolves so can your home. Your home is a reflection of you, you can take a short cut and get superficially more or you can be happy knowing what your goals are and in the process of their fulfillment, you will find greater and more fulfilling happiness as your home is improved specifically to match your needs, tastes and view requirement. Living on the street of dreams is a rare opportunity at this price.
Sadly, the listing has since been updated with a description that is far less entertaining, but you can Google that first line and still see it on plenty of the less up-to-date listing sites to confirm that I’m not making it up.
It’s hard to one-up a description like that, but the photos manage to pull that off…
This is cropped, but it’s plainly visible in the primary photo for the listing. GHOST JOGGER.
This photo and the next two are all in sequence in the listing, resulting in a sort of surreal doll/statue escalation when you flip through the photos in order.
Note that I did not crop this photo. It’s not even clear where this is or if it comes with the home.
Um. What.
This is the third distinct table setting in the listing photos. Because who wouldn’t want to sit down at a card table in their attic to enjoy a nice Coke bottle of water. Wait, what?The world needs more surrealist listings.
