    That’s a really hot listing!

  3. Jamie says:

    Fire-sale and won’t last long! LOL. Too much perhaps too soon. But seriously! Why!?

  4. mudslicker says:

    No. of floors: 3

    They’re just compressed—really, really compressed. Live on the top floor while occupying the basement! Unique AND hot, hot, hot!!!!

  5. Amy says:

    The description says “to be restored”. Judging by that smoke cloud, “to be rebuilt” might be more accurate.

  6. Neil R says:

    Wow, we got a motivated seller there

  7. LMA says:

    This place is going like a house on fire! But it’s actually a condo that has caught everyone’s attention — smoking values like this don’t burst onto the public eye in Belgium all that often. Act now while the listing is hot!

    • Dennis Eldridge says:

      And don’t forget: free central heating! This an ideal property for those single ladies who want to meet firemen.

  8. Anodean says:

    While the listing seems to rely heavily on a “smoke and mirrors” approach, this property would not suit an “aspirational” buyer. *coughcoughcough*

    InterTran translation result: ANCIENT IN CONCERT INNKEEPER BLAZE HAS SELL HAS CHARLEROI pr Eur 140,000 L’ensemble innkeeper about 20 ch. has been fired start 2010, He is convert to flat building about connection.

    Yes, that clears it right up.

    • Peace says:

      Google translate results: FORMER LANDLORD SET FIRE SALE IN CHARLEROI pr Eur 140,000.00 The hotel complex of 20 hp. was burned early 2010, it is converted into apartment house.

      Much better, but I’m still not sure. Was it arson? Used to be a hotel, was converted to apartments, and then the landlord torched it? And now somebody is trying to sell what is left, I guess. Whatever method the landlord used was apparently quite effective!

        here’s my translation:

    The current owner is busy working with Caden Cotard on his latest production. House also includes the realtor’s son, who’s been staying in the basement.

    a true fixer upper

  12. TacoMagic says:

    Man, I have a burning desire to get this hot deal. The realestate agent for this posting has gotten me all fired up over this smoking sale.

  13. Jano says:

    It’s too late for my Memorial Day barbecue but if I can get the loan processed, you’re all invited to my 4th of July cookout and housewarming party.

  14. follie says:

    Rose: I used to live in a burning building once.

    [Dorothy and Blanche make a face]

    Rose: Well scoff if you must, but it was warm and toasty. I’ll never forget Charlie; throwing me over his shoulder and dashing across the threshold… It was a beautiful place, with three bedrooms and two bathes. Then, two bedrooms and one bath. Eventually we out-grew the place…

      That is exactly what I was thinking, I was about to break out the dvds to find the quote!
      Sad about Rue dying this week

  15. Mister Dictionary says:

    Is it just me, or is this scene reminiscent of the graphic at the top of the page…?

  16. Layla says:

    The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire!

  17. Dawn says:

    Think of all the marshmallows you could toast .. s’more heaven!

  18. Dennis Eldridge says:

    Well Christmas must be especially festive round there: Chestnuts roasting on an open fire… Heck, you can roast chestnuts *anywhere* in that house…

  19. PJ says:

    So, it doesn’t come with window treatments?

  20. Cheryl says:

    But I was looking for a non smoking apartment.

  21. Tyler Sierocinski says:

    At least you don’t have to worry about the oven not working correctly, or vermin hiding in the walls. Frankly this is a perfect property for those that worry about those “what ifs”. I mean, you’ll even know exactly how much time you have to escape before the building burns down if there’s a fire. How much are you willing to pay for THAT peace of mind?

  22. Guineh says:

    Get it while it’s hot!

  23. Dennis Eldridge says:

    One has to admit, this is one of the most awesome real estate listings of all time. It has inspired so many great comments here :-)

  24. Jeff D says:

    Open house on Ash Wednesday.

    Most starter homes don’t come with their own mushroom cloud.

    Just the place to get away from the winter chill.
    Well-lit yard.
    Has the unique charm of that cremated feeling.

    Q: Can I pay for it with burnt cash?
