Real Actual Listing Photos: Best Kitchenette Ever

Posted on March 22, 2013 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.

Here’s another reminder for those of you who enjoy this series to avail yourselves of the revelry over at Looney Listing, with similar content updated throughout the month, from all around the country.

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.

This month doesn’t have any particular theme. Just enjoy a collection of odd listing photos submitted by readers and found by yours truly.

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

1240 SW Orchard St., Seattle, WA 98106“non-conforming bedroom plus multi-use room in basement”

One of the multiple uses: stacking random luggage to the ceiling!

400 Melrose Ave E #304, Seattle, WA 98102“This spacious condominium has a stellar view of the Space Needle, Lake Union, Olympics and downtown Seattle.”

Hmm. In my book a view that’s 50% freeway doesn’t quite count as a “stellar” view of anything other than the freeway…

5440 34th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98126“Bring your hammer & paintbrush…”

…and your fingers…

5604 S Fountain St, Seattle, WA 98178“…daylight basement also has kitchenette & Family Rm.”

“Kitchenette.” Ri-iiight.

3404 NE 184th St, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155“lush, private and quiet setting”

What I really like about this photo is how it conveys the feeling that you’re sneaking up on the residents inside during a nice quiet family dinner.

16521 43 Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98037“Den/office or guest room on main floor. Butler’s plus walk-in pantry!”

So the decor suggests frequent now-legal activities taking place throughout this home. Then you notice the random kids’ toys scattered everywhere. Hmm.

Let me know if you have an idea for a future “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme, and be sure to check out Looney Listing for listing photo amusement throughout the month.
