Can you imagine what the other bathroom looks like if they chose this picture for the ad? I’ll have nightmares…
Now this bathroom? This bathroom needs a crucifix.
This is a joke…right?
Is it me or does it look like the house was picked up and squeezed into a 10 foot space between the two other homes?
Not only the bathroom is out of place, but the whole home is too.
I’m feeling claustrophobic.
What’s to gripe about? You get a run down log-cabin-looking postage stamp of a house, but you’ll have a piece of land in Noe Valley! (Sing along with me, now) “Where you’ll look for a parking spot all dayyyyyyyy!”
Who do I make the check out to?
that’s just nasty…
Yeah, San Fran real estate is nuts. My BFF+boyfriend bought a house in Mountain View. The original budget was a mill. They had to up the budget to $1.3 to get something livable. In the suburbs!
People, this is not normal!!!!
Their house is beautiful, though. Has a pool!
Could someone please tell me what the heck the discolored spot at the end of the kitchen counter is? My first thought was a stovetop that went byebye, but I’m doubting that…
Um, can a crap-spattered hovel really be worth $738,000?
I actually live several blocks from this property. Property values are up 6.8% in Noe Valley this year despite the housing bubble crash. Homes go for over $1000/sq foot, with median sales over 1.32 million.
WHAAAAAT!!!!!?????? What a dreadful mess. I did like the outside picture of the deck, though. No thanks. I think I’ll take my chances at the Brady’s Twilight Zone house.
That photo about makes me ill. But since the toilet is just beyond disgusting, I wouldn’t even be able to throw up in there.
I’m thinking that anyone that could afford to live in this repugnant hovel could surely afford to leave town!
Jim and Heather – trust me, you’d be able to throw up. Oh yes.
Just make sure not to do so in the toilet, as that may cause an endless cycle of horkage that could possibly desiccate you.
Godspeed, dear people … Godspeed.
“Lots of deferred maintenance.” Uhh, ya think?
the etched swans are a nice touch…
okay, what am I saying – I hate the etched swans, but I just can’t even think about the rest of it!
Well, as a local I see this one as having HUGE potential. You’re basically paying for the land and the location. This house and $10k at Ikea would make an awesome place. And the neighbors keep their houses so nice, they would probably love anyone that put a nice coat of paint on the place. I don’t know why people would ever try to sell a house in this condition though, whatever you spend fixing it you’d make back in higher offers! And the lot needing work scares me- does that mean landslide?! I wish I could afford to flip that place!
I especially like the cleaning supplies next to the toilet, implying that the people who live here are really very pedantic about keeping their bathroom hygienic
For $369,000. each, plus the cost of demolition, the two neighbors could have parking spots and a postage stamp of lawn. I can’t imagine anything better ever happening to this house.
The best thing that this place could hope for would be an earthquake.
The spirit of some dead old dude is trying to contact us through the medium of stains on the floor. I can see his be-wigged head in profile.
What is it old guy? Send us a sign?
No it’s an image of Jesus or Mary or Tim Leary (take your pick). Now we can charge admission…
It’s a probate sale – oh dear – somebody died there! I can see his outline on the bathroom floor – looks like Thomas Jefferson!
Man – that house must be VERY old!
I was thinking the same thing as Wundermary! Man, they would probably both triple the value of their own homes if they demolished this house and made themselves some delux parking!
Oh my. There are no words. Only questions.
How do you squeeze 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a formal dining room into 935 sq feet???
Did anyone else notice that the 2008 taxes were only $347???
If I could sum up the housing crisis in just one photograph…
looks like the blinds were in a fight. who is cutting their blinds? and why?
I like the idea of a security gate…just like those hoity toity gated communities in the burbs.
I’m astounded by the disparity between the offering price and the tax assessment values. Is the SF tax assessor a window-licking retard on the short bus?
I feel so much better about the state of my own bathroom after seeing this!
I like the swans.
Ahem, I thought you Americans are in a crisis??
I just had to look what I can buy with 580.000 of real money (=EUR) and came up with some nice houses about 300m², renovated and so on…
Why would anyone shell out this amount for this dump???
Trust me, San Fran is no model for the rest of us. I live on the east coast and my four bedroom house in good condition with a yard and 1600 sq ft is valued at $80,000. Where I live 500,000 would buy a palace.
Well, for starters, this is IN THE CASTRO. It IS and will always BE worth that amount of money–no matter the condition. Sad but true. I think the Castro district of SF is one of the few places in the U.S. that did NOT suffer the real estate bubble burst. 3/4 of a million was a bargain and I wish I’d bought the place myself (it sold in a matter of days, btw) and I would have flipped that sucker and doubled my money on it–easy.
Yeah, the website says it sold for $500,000 so someone did NOT think it was worth the price they were asking and the owners AGREED.
For non-CA folks who don’t understand the low property taxes, Google Prop 13. Short version: 1978 saw another real estate price boom. Real estate speculators were seeing their vacant land taxes skyrocket. Sold Prop 13 on slogan of “Save Granny”. Rolled back tax to 1975 rate and capped increases. One real case where Granny didn’t need a reverse mortgage to die in her home.
Why are all the avatars the same in the first part of the comments???
They were written back before gravitars.
This place sold for 500,000! Yup. Half-a-million.
Which is pretty much lot-value in that part of Noe.
They’ll strip it to the studs, jack it up to put a garage under it, expand it to twice the square footage, redo the innards to straight-out-of-Dwell spec, try to sell it for $1.8 million, fail, and wind up getting about $1.3 mil for it.
I spot some cleaning tools! RIGHT. THERE. *points* you could like, sit on the toilet, and at the same time, clean! Sexy. Obviously the previous owners weren’t as multitask-capable as I…..
