Real Actual Listing Photos: Shipwrecked Edition

Posted on March 22, 2012March 22, 2012 by The Tim

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 particular theme this week, just a bunch of great listing photos sent in by readers and spotted by yours truly.

Enough explanation. Let’s get to the photos! Click the photo to view the Real Actual Listing.

11718 Possession Lane Edmonds, WA 98026“One Of A Kind Waterfront Property owned by the same family since 1930.”

What a deal. For a mere $625,000, you get the land and the privilege of cleaning up the mess left behind when said family decided to get out of the ship salvage business!

2123 10th Ave W Seattle, WA 98119“LRI- Duplex Zoned.”

You’re looking at the only listing photo, and the entire listing description. Somebody is working really hard for the commission on this $520,000 property.

12721 NE 112th St Kirkland, WA 98033“…perfect for home veggie garden!”

Just be careful not to plant too big of a garden, or you won’t be able to find your house.

11406 NE 112th St Kirkland, WA 98033“Build an estate home on this 75,794 sq ft, level lot in Kirkland neighborhood.”

Just look how at home the Mercedes is on this estate-home-ready lot.

9679 51st Ave S Seattle, WA 98118“Attached one-car garage has been converted to bdrm, and can easily convert back to garage.”

The really weird part is that this blurry photo of rocks is just a slight variation on the primary photo of the front of the house.

5546 21st Ave S Seattle, WA 98108“…this 4 bedroom 2 bath home has loads of character and potential!”

So much character that mere photos could not capture it. You’re looking at one of just three listing photos, and one of the three appears to be a screenshot from Microsoft’s Bird’s Eye View.

Let me know if you have an idea for a future “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme.
