Real Actual Listing Photos: Not-So-Secret VHS Cassettes

Posted on July 17, 2012July 17, 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 month, just a bunch of weird/crazy photos found by readers and yours truly.

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

1720 NE 179th St Unit B103 Shoreline, WA 98155“Beautifully remodeled kitchen & all new wood floors.”

Perhaps the listing agent suffers from taco neck syndrome?

8413 NE 137th St Kirkland, WA 98034“Tastefully updated and improved for modern lifestyles.”

Indeed, good fellow. As you can see, the desk is equipped with everything a modern gentleman could need: rotary telephone, magnifying glass, decorative paper, and a wooden horse.

2514 Queen Anne Ave N Seattle, WA 98109“Let your senses absorb QA history!”

I’ve cropped the bathroom shot so you can fully appreciate who’s watching while you do your business. Hat tip to reader Rumpole.

5627 125th Lane NE Kirkland, WA 98033“cozy fam rm w/ FP draws guests near”

Conan… Is that you?

10110 Greenwood Ave N #103 Seattle, WA 98133“Get a two bedroom for the price of a one bedroom.”

And also… BATMAN and SPIDERMAN! Hat tip to Curbed Seattle.

3218 32nd Ave W Seattle, WA 98199“Cute as a bugs ear!”

This one is not cropped. I imagine a conversation between the listing agent and the home seller:

Agent: “You know what will really help sell your home?”
Seller: “An open house?”
Agent: “No, a close-up shot of a pair of 1980s Martha Stewart VHS cassettes.”

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