Nothing says class like a chain link fence. Except a yellow kitchen. Those garage water stains and cracked driveway are certainly worth $222/sqft, no? I wonder if a garage door comes with it...
The creepiest house I ever saw was a vary spacious one in Sammamish. There was a very nice master bath where it had a feature where there was a tv that you could watch while you were in the tub. I guess to prevent moisture damage to the tv, it was located in a closet and you saw the tv through the main mirror, which was one-way glass so when the tv was off it was a normal mirror. Very clever. But the fact was it just plain super creepy to have a closet with a full view of the bathroom though a one way mirror. I am always expecting to read in the newspaper about some incident there.

There was a house in the 2006 Street of Materialistic Dreams (which was in Sammamish) that had a feature like that. I don't remember which one for sure, but I'd guess it was "The Retreat," which had TVs jammed into pretty much every possible space--17 in all.

Those guys were so on key with their street of dreams. I mean, who today doesn't need a retreat from their hectic lives to a home where every room has a TV roaring on a different channel than the last.
Is the street of dreams dead? I can only imagine them doing a 2009 version where some of the homes are actually just 800 sq ft repartmented condos, others are 1500 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, and the newest homes are actually just cardboard boxes under bridges with holes cut out for 'windows'. The sad thing about the cardboard 'homes' is you used to be able to get larger boxes when people were still upgrading their refrigerators and washing machines - not so much anymore.
I'm not sure what I like best, the half-full glass of water on the counter, the open drawers, or the eerie glow the whole room seems to have. Also, do you really need that many outlets / light switches in a kitchen? Yowzers.

It combines the granite/stainless look and the dark/damp PNW look. But put me down for lots of outlets in the kitchen. They don't need to be white outlet covers though. They sell boxes of tinted covers at HD.

It looks like someone removed all the backsplash tile. Perhaps just lousy photo quality, or is this part of the required "finishing touches"?

I shake my head with pity at the unfortunate masses that buy into "Watching TV". I prefer bird watching.

Huh? It's pathetic that the average American watches something like 6 hours of TV a day (how is that even possible?), but what exactly does your statement even mean?
:shock: Holy frickin' crap! $3500/yr property taxes for a (moldy) chipboard shell that's not even remotely livable???
Taxpayers REVOLT! Man the battle stations! Arrrrggggghhhhh!
If anything, this listing perfectly illustrates how far prices need to fall in order to get back to reality. And don't even get me started on the property taxes, sheesh!

Buyer beware. House leans to the right and is slightly out of focus.

This is the primary photo on the listing.
Love the low-angle TP-roll view.
I see a lot of listings with this kind of messy home office photo. Is this a selling point? Why include it otherwise?
See?

I'm guessing the REALTOR(tm) was multi-tasking.

Come on Tim, that's not a half-full glass of water... it's clearly a half-empty glass of Vodka.

Sweet Turret! Lower the price by 200k and throw in the moat and I might be interested...
