This Odd House

Someone: I love the Wilderness Lodge so much I want to live in it!

I want to know what’s behind the little door above the kitchen and who would want to sleep in what look like crawl spaces. :grimacing: But it’s the eagle mural that really puts the house over the top for me.

If you get that place, you have to invite some of us.

We’re moving back Oop North in the next couple of months, so I’m sure we’ll be looking at some… interesting properties. Unfortunately, I imagine they’re going to fall into the “just bad” standard rental category rather than interestingly bad.

Oh we’ll do a whole Midwest Mistie convention :smiley:

Close, but I’m gonna need more paneling and a kitchen cheerleader. Is there a mountain close enough?

Alas, no avalanche potential included with purchase.

Under contract ?!?

It’s a fixer-upper, needs a little TLC. Mold is useful for producing your own antibiotics. Only slightly haunted.

That house obviously needs a big dose of Vitamin Fire, but given that:
– it’s on a half acre lot listed for $440k
– there’s an empty half acre lot nearby listed for $800k

It actually seems like a pretty good deal? I mean, it can’t cost $360,000 to have someone knock this place down and haul the remains to a biohazard site, can it?

It’s obvious a fire gutted the house. Frankly, I’m surprised the county is allowing its sale. Whoever has bought it, has bought the land. The house isn’t salvageable. Scrape it off, build new. (it’s the only way to be sure)

There’s some hardwood flooring in there, but if there was a fire it’s probably been soaked and warped. And probably too mold-infested to salvage.

Looks like someone bought this house in September for $967k:

Which means whatever happened, happened in the last three months. :grimacing:

Going by local prices, it does seem like a deal, with lead/ mold abatement; ;you’re looking at around 80k (high end) to get the house cleared.

Or, it could have been a nice place to clean close to a million bucks?

Presenting: The Railing House.

The makers of Space Mutiny would be jealous.

Oh, man, I just want to hurl myself over those!

Better railings than no railings, considering.

Railings notwithstanding, given the location the price on that place is bizarrely low. The railings must have been installed to confuse the poltergeists.

I am so glad I live in a place where $1.9 million isn’t ‘bizarrely low.’

Hey, it’s only $1.795 million. And free shipping with Prime!

Really, though. A multi-story townhouse in a nice part of Philadelphia should be more than that.
