Frick, this house is the equivalent of an item that's been on clearance for so long it has like four price stickers stuck on top of each other. And it's still too expensive.
The problem is the guy created it and is trying to sell it as an avant garde art installation... in suburban Connecticut. No one who wants a piece of suburbia in Connecticut is going to want to live inside a mad Russian's art experiment. The house and lot size in the area is probably worth 300k, but when you factor in that you'll have to rip out and remodel literally every room? I'd offer him $50k and it would probably be the best offer he's had.
Nonsense! When I think of avant-garde art installations created by mad Russians, the only place that comes to mind is suburban Connecticut! Why, the two are practically synonymous! …wait no. No they're really not. Not even a little bit.
im bad at reading american real es, can someone help out?? also damn america has some good priced houses, 300k here gets u a 1-2 bed apartement
In my area they're down around $175k. Still out of my range, which is why I'm buying a flip from an estate sale at $85k
:000 maybe its cuz i live in a capital but the cheapest apartements sell for 150k and those are the ones with no bedroom and stuff its v expensive
Yeah you get stuff like that in the big cities. Almost any place in New York, L.A., high people concentration and low availability of housing = ridiculous prices.
There is actually a good reason for it! In tropical/humid climates, carpet gets this very unpleasant clingy feeling (ask me how I know), and is probably much more susceptible to mildew. Different solutions for different climates.
oh i live in a cold, wet area. i rarely see carpet around. its usually wood some of my family lives in spain i can vertify on the humidity part tho
They put wood in the kitchen tho, so obvs sealed hardwood was an option? There's also natural stone, or stained concrete, or faux wood look tile or, or... like, 500 flooring option for your living room that would look so much better and fit the function of the room better? Like I have kids and indoor pets so I am so down with the anti-carpet movement, but come on, you can get rid of carpet with out also throwing out your design sense. That's of course assuming there was any to begin with.
my entire fucking apartment is covered in the same exact square white tile i am dying squirtle (actual picture of the kitchen/living room area of an apartment just like mine in my building that's still for sale)
We had stone tiles in my mom's old house, which was much better for gripping with wet pool feet than the polished hardwood. I actually prefer tile to wood, but only if it's got the textured stone feeling-- I don't like completely polished smooth floors. On a slightly more relevant note: stucco on interiors. WHY.
Tile talk is just reminding me of how people in Arabic class would talk about their grandfathers going on mad tiling sprees. Just suddenly everything has been tiled. You come home to your place to friend grandpa trying to tile your home. He talks of nothing but tile. tiling
tho I shouldn't say anything because I voluntarily put black tiles on my bedroom floor back at my mam's. it was so pretty. so pretty. so shiny.
Only sort of relevant but I love when you are looking at a real estate listing and it's really fancy, like so: Spoiler: big? and it all flows nicely and fits the Theme, and then you find The Teenager's Room™: Spoiler
