Funky = less usable space. That house needs another 400-500SF I think.
We should have gone out to the steps for that one Jim–I like it at $440K.

It is one thing to be optimistic but wow.
Love the funkiness, but don’t like the layout. Not much usable office space there. Overall, though, wish more houses had a bit of personality like this one or Turret House does. 😉

Just as a note:
Opaque: no light penetrates,
Translucent: a portion of light passes through
Transparent: Light continues unobstructed.
Those glass panels would normally be considered translucent, not opaque.

The house isn’t my style, but I like it. I think it’s impressive and well done.
the light looked cool coming through the ceiling in the stairwell area. I like unique architecture but this house might be too much. But wow, $440K in Carlsbad west of the 5 ? To quote JTR “now we’re talking!”
Just east of I-5 by a long block, but people in the area consider this “village-close”. The agents who really stretch it call it “walk to beach” (it’s about a mile?).
Detroit River! That was a good one!
I like this house – its got style, flair, innovation and is well done contemporary chic. The owner must have been a devotee of Frank Gehry. A nice departure from what I see every day: mediterranean tile-roofed mini mansions.
Mekka lekka hi, mekka hiney ho! Mekka lekka hi, mekka chonney ho!
Nothing wrong with different, but that house with its pseudo post-modern weird for the sake of being weird would get really tiresome really quickly.
No edges, corners, squares or rectangles…..just smoothy, bendy, curvy and circles. Kinda outer spacey. No humans could have lived here. Beam me up Scotty……Scotty?….com’n Scotty….don’t play games with me now! Beam me up Now!
I like the house, just no damn living room. Where would I put my big-screen and my couch?
Not bad, I like houses with endless amounts of character, just no descent size living room…
I love me some funky, but that one is just too odd and lacking usable living space. That front area is really better used as a dining room, which leaves you with no living room. The office space would rock, though. For 1700 sq ft, there isn’t much actual living space.
Stairs..aging knees…that ain’t gonna work.
But hurray for something not a cookie cutter McMansion!
Firefighters, Doctors and Nurses Top List as “Most Prestigious Occupations,” According to Latest Harris Poll
Business executives, stockbrokers and real estate agents are at the bottom of the list
Firefighters, doctors, and nurses are seen as prestigious occupations by U.S. adults, while business executives, stockbrokers and real estate agents are seen at the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to having prestigious occupations.
By way of contrast, the list includes nine occupations which are perceived by less than 20 percent of adults to have “very great” prestige, with one of these under 10 percent. The lowest ratings for “very great prestige” go to real estate brokers (6%), stockbrokers (11%), business executives (11%), actors (12%), union leaders (12%), journalists (16%) bankers (17%), accountants (17%), and entertainers (18%).
Hopefully Harris isn’t working on ‘Most Dishonest” poll next….
Of Course, JimTR the exception, not the rule here.
Happy Holiday.
For you Eighties music lovers that was George Clinton and the P. Funk All stars “Atomic Dog” funky! Walk to Karlsbad’s Oktoberfest annually is a good thing from there!
Unfortunately, I would also have to pass on this one due to the lack of a suitable area for my front projection home theater system.
My needs are a room twenty feet deep and fifteen feet wide, one side a solid flat wall with no decorations or protrusions in the middle of it.
Why is it I can easily find that in a one bedroom apartment, but not as easily in a house?
@Francois,
Sounds like one of my rooms 🙂
François Caron-The house I bought for $150k in May has a family room that’s a bit larger than 30 feet by 15 feet…the main reason why I bought it. (There’s also a seperate living room, a garage even larger than the family room, four beds, two full baths, one story, corner lot of .2 acres.)
Of course, it’s in Riverside, so…
Here’s the screen.

Jim, now you know exactly what to look for when a client asks for a room with a BIG wall! 🙂
Nice place! It’s good to see houses with character for a change. Sooooo many cookie cutters.
