22.96 acres? I can finally park my aircraft carrier!

Not sure about having to pay $10 million in taxes though, good thing I read the fine print.

Edit: Not saying it's fake, this one is certainly real: https://www.redfin.com/MA/Boston/411-Beacon-St-02115/home/179750342

I am not good at math, but how does 350k price translate to 835k monthly mortgage?

Exploration is ill-advised.
I would totally just vibe in that tower. Depending on the location it could be pretty great.

I love '70s house, and I'm amazed décor is in such good shape since it looks to be literally from the early 70s. The only things I can see that look a bit battered are the kitchen cabinet doors, and that's an easy fix. The metallic wallpaper on the side of the stairs in picture 27 is fantastic, I love it!.
Also the basement carpet triggered the 1-2-3-4-5 pinball song from Sesame Street as soon as I saw it.

Something tells me the front elevation looks exactly the way the architect drew it

Like, you could hold up the posterboard in front of the house and the only difference is one would look a hair more watercolory

I wonder how much of that cursed vibe is just due to the horrendous carpet and the ceiling panels. If you were to put in some nice wood flooring and a more uniform ceiling with warmer lights that would probably feel a lot more livable.

My mum's house has a staircase that sort of spirals up along two walls and a floating bit in the hall. Unfortunately the upstairs landing light bulb is directly in the middle of the spiral so to change the bulb you have to climb a ladder and then lean out over the void to the floor below.

We've got one of those void holes too. I get queasy just thinking about changing the bulb :(
I was just trying to estimate and I think the highest point of the wall beside the staircase is well over 30 feet, which makes ceiling repairs and even basic redecorating a huge chore requiring scaffolding.

This tool (or similar available in Ireland) is your friend, a little bit of learning curve, but invaluable for changing bulbs like that. Source: working with my dad for years in lighting and changing hard-to-reach bulbs. Practice on some easily changed ones in lower areas and you'll have the hang of it in no time.

sucks to be right
Those giant photos of women with dates attached seemed super :chloe: but I googled one of them and it looks like they're all the winners of the Miss Hawaiian Tropic International swimsuit competition and the dates are the year they won. I'm not cancelling the :chloe: though, it's still weird and creepy.

If you're wondering why the house is still full of the guy's bizarre poo poo it's because he died last year. That silver plated garbage can you can see in the 1st and 3rd photos was apparently the original garbage can he used to perfect the formula for Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen.
