There’s lots to like here…
Lots of brick…
Lots of wood…
Lots of dark areas…
and lots of nature.
There’s also an odd but attractive mural over the bath.
The best feature, though, is the conveniently pre-dug, easy to hide grave. Sure, the listing calls it a “mechanics pic,” but we know what it really is.
*wink-wink*
It’s a bit dated, but otherwise it’s a decent place. Replace the linoleum with real tile or hardwood for starters, renovate the kitchen. But I love the sauna, so the bathroom would only need a little work done on it.
I kind of like the mechanic’s pit. I’ve often wished I had one of those since I do at least some of my own auto repair. It makes me wonder if I couldn’t make one at my house… “Honey, I have a project…!”
@Frodo: It does have more of that lovely woodwork, and the yard looks quite a treat, too. I even like the mural. :)
Perhaps we could pass the mechanic’s pit off as something more upscale? Secure document storage? Wine cellar? Root vegetables? Meditation area? Emergency shelter?
@Anodean: Parking space for an itty bitty hybrid?
I know I’m the odd one out here, but I can’t get over the impression that the front door is a big gaping mouth, with wide eyes on either side and outstretched brick arms waiting to scoop one inside…OM NOM NOM!
@JMixx: OK, now I can’t unsee that, hehe. Also, bracket eyebrows and… shoulder lions!
