So this house is 1) in my neighborhood 2) about a third cheaper than it seems like it should be. It’s also a classic, turn of the century America Foursquare, which is probably my favorite style of house.
Yes, yes, I live in the “bad” section of Cedar Rapids. That means two of the five murders each year take place around where I live.
The interior photos make the place look stunning. It has pocket doors in one room! And a clawfoot bathtub! We’re going to take a look this weekend.
So in the meantime, I’ve tried to figure out what’s wrong with this house to make it so inexpensive. I’ve come up with:
- Leaky windows
- Refrigerator leads to a different dimension
- Mass hobo grave in cellar
- It’s a cleverly designed disguise for the sarlacc
- House built on top of several Indian burial grounds
- House built on top of the hellmouth
- Faucets run hot and cold blood
Any other thoughts?
