Let's see:
-
McMansion in a valley with a north-facing view, with the neighbouring house, up the hill, blocking most sunlight
-
An early leaker, built in 1985
-
It's got an indoor pool
-
Thanks to being built in 1985, it's also got asbestos everywhere in it
-
You can just tell it's a cheap knockoff of Arthur Erickson's style
-
The basement, about the size of a large apartment, still stinks of the grow-op that was silently shut down in there back in 2016
-
There's a hundred grand worth of uselessly outdated home theatre wiring and dodgy fibre optics in the wall, making even just installing Ethernet (or overhauling the electrical system) intractable
-
Aluminum wiring and polybutylene pipes
-
The previous owner has "upgraded" it from six bedrooms to ten, carving size out of the immense garage and at least two washrooms in the process
-
At least one staircase in the house has just fucking rotted out โ but at least it's entirely redundant with two other staircases, one of which is on the outside deck, and which is just a year or two away from a similar fate. That one's been painted up all nicely so you can't tell, though
-
There's a new washroom! It's what used to be the nanny suite's foyer, still with a (bolted shut) outside door, door handle and all still installed
-
Did I forget to mention that it's also got an outdoor pool? It's actually one indoor-outdoor pool. They've had to put an electric fence around the property because bears have, at least twice, broken into the house via this
-
You can only access the house by walking down 200 steps, or by getting down a 20ยฐ driveway
