In the spirit of this 2007 post<\/a>… let’s say you have a million bucks that you’re going to use to buy some real estate…<\/p>\n

\n

\"1415<\/a>Option 1:<\/strong> A 3,150 square foot “beautiful, well maintained Craftsman<\/a>” sporting an “open floor plan with designer touches,” located on a 4,584 sq. ft. (0.1 acre) lot in the idyllic 47th parallel north right here in Seattle. <\/p>\n

Craftsman not your cup of tea? Take your pick one of 33 Seattle homes in the same general price range<\/a>, including this 1,815 sq. ft. condo<\/a> or this 3,200 sq. ft. beast of a house<\/a> described in the listing as “magnificent,” “expansive,” “elegant,” and “stunning.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\"Cui<\/a>Option 2:<\/strong> Your very own 25-acre private island<\/a>. Two two-bed, two-bath cottages, one with a hot tub. Located in the 40th parallel south<\/a> in Chile, considered one of South America’s most stable and prosperous nations (by Wikipedia<\/a> anyway).<\/p>\n
