700 W. Center

There is another house for sale right now that I think is exactly what I want some day. If it weren't for the price and the terrible location (700 W. Center Street--two blocks from the freeway entrance) I'd buy it in a snap!

This house is a triplet--there are two other nearly identical on Center. This one has been painted an unfortunate pink while the others remain the natural buff-colored brick. You can see from the property tour in the listing that most of the original features are intact. I'm in love with the high ceilings, original pocket doors and this fireplace!

There's a serious flaw in the listing though--they're saying the house is 4,461 square feet on 3 stories, making it just $58.00 a square foot! The only problem is that 1,487 of those square feet look like this:

There's a folding chair sitting just right of center in this picture to give you a sense of its size and height. I actually love this unfinished attic space and all its possibilities, but I've never heard of advertising a totally unfinished, uninsulated (yes, that is daylight you can see around the bottom of the roof) attic as part of the finished space!
