is there a general thread for real estate listings of note? i've got a good one that is....weird but not in the spirit of this thread

Buying A House: C or D? is another thread that has listings on it.
But again, it's an Open House every day on this one.

Well, I guess you could buy it now and then sell it for $1.9M in April?

xp, yeah a friend pointed that out -- we were guessing maybe it was a (now botched) Amazon flip.

genuinely a bit afraid of the mind that would come up with this design

Kitchen and walls painted custom by owner. … Furniture is negotiable.
I usually roll my eyes at man caves but someone in that place, who isn't face down in the pool, should be happy.

"Historical Texans burial plot in front yard."

A historical Texans burial plot is one of those must-have features
― jmm, Tuesday, 23 April 2019 23:04 (four years ago) link
Technically if the Texans buried in the front yard of this house aren't historical that means they would be scrabbling inside their coffins to get out which I can imagine could be off-putting at night

What this thread tells me is that Australians spend a lot more money on staging their homes as generic white boxes with awful art that people in other real estate state markets.

That isn't one of those "Oh! Haha" kinda pics that I spend too much time looking for online. And yet, it's stayed on my mind for the past 12 hours, since I saw it last night.
1.) The wall-to-wall carpeting.
2.) The vent near the middle of the sliding-glass door. Why?
3.) Note that I said near the middle. Another mark against this.
4.) Curtains in front of a sliding-glass door. Kinda feel it's gotta be vertical pleated blinds or nothing else, including the door.
5.) The space at the top between the curtains and the rod vs the extra slack drooped on the wall-to-wall carpeting.
6.) Each table has part of it folded over to the side. The chairs have minimal arm rests.
7.) The space at the top between the curtains and the rod vs. the space between the rod and what are literally rafters.
8.) The vacuum grooves in the wall-to-wall carpeting that imply that the frilly chair scoots around on its own.
9.) The rug on the wall-to-wall carpeting.
10.) And what's not shown in this photo: What on earth little elevated walkway is happening up here? See that plant on the right? Does it meet each wall and keep forming right angles?
― pplains, Thursday, 16 May 2019 12:17 (four years ago) link
This may have been a thing in the '70s. My first house as a kid had a vent right next to our upstairs porch door. Many mornings I spent camped out over that heat source with the cold winter glass behind my back.
― zama roma ding dong (Eric H.), Thursday, 16 May 2019 12:21 (four years ago) link
wall-to-wall carpeting pretty normal in many parts of the world
― kinder, Thursday, 16 May 2019 12:26 (four years ago) link
W2WC is indeed everywhere.
I guess it's weird not to see a little tile in front of the door, an engawa to separate the deck from the rest of the house.
Goes along with no tile, but a vent. Lots of condensation on that window, I'd bet.
Curtains must flutter like a ghost.
― pplains, Thursday, 16 May 2019 12:31 (four years ago) link
the vent is to reduce the condensation by keeping the glass warm, so moist interior air doesn't bang into an ice-cold pane of glass and release moisture. (that is not an excuse for lousy design obv)
― Good morning, how are you, I'm (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 16 May 2019 12:47 (four years ago) link
I'm seeing the reverse of that: ice-cold dry air blowing against a pane of glass with murky warm muggy conditions on the other side of it.
― pplains, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:13 (four years ago) link
who puts a cold-air vent in the floor tho

The perspective of that photo makes it look like a dollhouse.
― Yerac, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:27 (four years ago) link
Yes! I don't know if it's just because we have a loft conversion with a pitched ceiling where the walls are literally half that height, but I spent a minute staring at it thinking "why is there a strange half-height window flush with the floor? And why are those chairs so tiny..."
― The Pingularity (ledge), Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:34 (four years ago) link
It's very dollhouse looking furniture too.
― Yerac, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:36 (four years ago) link
The perspective definitely isn't helping matters.
1.) Welcome to the American South.
2.) You can't have a vent dangling from the pitched ceiling rafters.
― pplains, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:43 (four years ago) link
ok, i admit i can no longer remember where the vents where when i lived in the south, and actually the only ones i can specifically picture were in the floors.
― Good morning, how are you, I'm (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:47 (four years ago) link
Makes no sense though. That cold air isn't going to rise.
― Evan, Thursday, 16 May 2019 13:48 (four years ago) link
Those vents in the floor are so prevalent I can feel it on my feet as I walk on it.

My parents had huge rugs over wall to wall carpeting. I think they thought it was saving the carpeting from wear.
