what in the hell is that brick wall there for

that looks like a plaster wall put up by a photographer
― donald failson (sic), Wednesday, 29 April 2020 21:57 (four years ago) link
That was exactly my question at first too.
― pplains, Thursday, 30 April 2020 00:45 (four years ago) link
that's a mirror, right?
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Thursday, 30 April 2020 02:02 (four years ago) link
That's a mirror.
And the photographer is peeking the lens through a crack in the open door.
― pplains, Thursday, 30 April 2020 02:28 (four years ago) link
ohhhhh. i was wondering about the open door. it was hard to figure out!
― forensic plumber (harbl), Thursday, 30 April 2020 03:46 (four years ago) link
The range, cabinet and fridge look a lot closer in the mirror than they really sholuld. Plus, the shelf that's hidden from its own reflection due to the wall coming out.
― pplains, Thursday, 30 April 2020 04:08 (four years ago) link
Shelves.

Not an image, but I've been puzzling over what this description means. It's like Schroedinger's Listing
The house is in good repair and move in condition, but needs renovation and updating. This is the perfect starter home. Home being sold "As Is"
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 30 April 2020 15:19 (four years ago) link
lol - is anything ever sold as anything OTHER than 'as is'??
'Used bicycle - $200. if you buy it i will quickly do some repairs on it for free'
― Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 30 April 2020 15:28 (four years ago) link
well most times you buy a house you can ask owner to make repairs, i got a new roof for example
― forensic plumber (harbl), Thursday, 30 April 2020 15:31 (four years ago) link
The bigger question for me is how something can be in “move in condition” and also “need” renovation.

a good real estate agent would know nothing is ever dated, rather it's charmingly retro
― Lee626, Thursday, 30 April 2020 15:42 (four years ago) link
I drive a car that's in good repair and running condition, but believe me, it could also stand to be fixed and worked on.
― pplains, Thursday, 30 April 2020 16:23 (four years ago) link
man, if i saw this kitchen in an NYC apartment listing i would be salivating... that fridge is hideous and mismatched but just look at all that counter space! the only real problem with the mirror wall thing is the lack of a good visual boundary between it and the fake brick wall beneath. fix that and throw in a more colorful paint job and i'd be sitting pretty.

tbf, a barndo manhattan listing would go for mid nine figures
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 30 April 2020 18:11 (four years ago) link
I mean, I was looking at some of those barndos and thinking, "Could this be acceptable in an industrial loft?"
― pplains, Thursday, 30 April 2020 18:36 (four years ago) link
Except for the fact that I have a gas range, that kitchen is probably more recently updated & has better features than the one in my apartment (which I think it's dates to mid-to-late 1950s tho it is "cute"). And it's eat-in!!

we got a new stove/refrigerator in the past year when our early 80's models burnt out but i would otherwise trade up to that kitchen in a heartbeatnew york sucks
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 30 April 2020 18:48 (four years ago) link
Eh my bf's house in the country is modest, 1920s-ish, and the kitchen is small and not eat-in and doesn't have much counter space. It's a design flaw. It's not just NYC.

the interior is pretty good too, love the armchairs and tv setup in the kitchen
― ciderpress, Thursday, 30 April 2020 23:00 (four years ago) link
the chair up against the kitchen counter... I imagine it was a progression.
- I want to watch TV while I work in the kitchen- My legs are tired I'd like to be able to sit down for a break- My eyes are going- better scoot closer- This chair is uncomfortable better upgrade to a recliner- I need a surface to put my meal while I eat during my shows

the place must be freezing in winter, putting your feet against the Aga is probably the only way to stay comfortable while also being able to see the pianist

There's actually nothing terribly wrong with this one, but it's jarring that this is the front and back of the same house

― ciderpress, Friday, 1 May 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link
Yeah, it's pretty nice. If it were in my price range I'd probably want to replace the rec center fence with something classier, and yeah it does have a little of that postmodern/I designed this myself with CAD quality, but much less so than other similar aged houses.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 1 May 2020 14:52 (four years ago) link
swap out the siding and the roof, and add more glass to the front elevation, and you could brute-force your way towards "designed by an underrated local modernist in the early 70s."

If you live in an area with sharp hills & canyons, it's not uncommon to have split-level homes with 2nd floor entries.
