I'm used to buildings like this. The windows are intentional and fine. Did you ever notice that some rooms may have 〜too many〜 windows? Furniture placement and tv glare are real concerns.

The dry brush, slight slope, and no ember stopping barrier underneath that wooden building is concerning.

So I decided to peruse some local real estate listings to see what's for sale in my neighborhood and what houses are going for these days (it's actually kind of crazy how much poo poo has gone up in the last year). I noticed this cute house, which is the least expensive in the vicinity:  It's been sitting on the market for a month and just got hit with a $10k price cut while other houses have been selling faster for more, with some being subjects of bidding wars. Let's see if there's something wrong with it...  Well that was unexpected. I mean, lots of these old houses get completely trashed over the years by being multi-unit rentals and such, so it's common to see gut job interior remodels, but usually it's mild contemporary and not whole hog Scandinavian industrial or whatever the gently caress this is. I can appreciate some well-done modernism, but this is just so badly done, in both design and execution.  I think they were short on ceiling plywood and then just decided to roll with it.  That bookshelf fireplace thing is weirding me out, and it doesn't look like the pieces are quite flush. I'm betting that's indeed the original location and angle of the fireplace though -- we visited a couple cute Victorians that had the corner fireplaces - it was so you could have like four fireplaces all on one chimney. There would have been a wall and not a gaping void.  Useless and stupid hipster sink in the powder room? Check.  Exposed joists over the kitchen where you cook food. But at least there's some extra backsplash.  I hate this bathroom so much and I think it's the tile that looks like a early 90's Dixie cup except in dirt-colored neutrals.  I'm the sunken mantelpiece on the bed of loose hearthstones. Queen Victorian fucked around with this message at 06:34 on May 8, 2019 |

Solar Coaster posted:Good Lord. And how much was this masterpiece going for? $315k, knocked down from $325k. Other houses in the immediate vicinity are asking between $325k and 625k (with the 625k house being exceptionally huge and full of original woodwork and stained glass). This breed of lovely modernism is extremely common in a certain red hot hipster-infested neighborhood across town where all the old rowhouses have been flipped to look like this, but not over here, and I think that's the disconnect (other than the fact that it's just really bad).

The real fear is that if they couldn’t be bothered to do a decent job with the finish work, how bad is the work behind the walls?

TheMadMilkman posted:The real fear is that if they couldn’t be bothered to do a decent job with the finish work, how bad is the work behind the walls? Probably shoddy and terrible, despite being advertised as "professionally designed". The house last sold in '08 for 27k and is missing its porch (a missing front porch is a good indicator that the house was/is in a state of disrepair), which means it was a complete shithole, so everything in the house (except the joists) is new and likely badly done. The more you look at the pictures, the more annoying little things you find, like the mismatched baseboard in the sunken fireplace room. Is it really too much to ask to have all the baseboard in a room be the same? My Lovely Horse posted:At least you can inspect the joists from downstairs. Except this room is on top of one of the few areas of the main floor open concept zone that has a ceiling (the drywall type - which clashes nicely with the patchwork areas of plywood ceiling and exposed joists). They're definitely hiding something. Seriously I'm putting this house on my list of watched properties and will go to an open house if they do one and deliver a trip report. It's just a few blocks down from me.

Could be that it was done by a builder who didn't really know how to do this fancy new style of stuff and neither did the owner, so it's possible they've done the basics right and shrugged on doing the floating ceilings and open plan whatevers. Could also be a top to bottom poo poo show.
