Should we buy this house?

[sonrisa]

It's out of our price range, but so unique. When will an opportunity like this come up again?

(sorry if someone actually loves the listing. Personally, I've been fascinated with this for a while because I can't figure out wtf is going on. It feels like something my kids would design with magformers. It does'nt look earthquake safe to me)

(Photo of the water in the pool is virtual) might be my favorite part. Rivaled only by the garage which has two cars parked at an angle coming in off a hill. I’d have my Subaru wrecked in no time. 😜

The floor plan is weird, and the interior finishes need an overhaul, but the views are amazing.

Yeah I feel like it was built to suit the views. Definitely could use some updating but if I had a bunch of money to pay someone to do something that fit with the style of the house but modernized, I'd totally buy this house.

Yeah, I'd buy it too. I love funky houses.

I can't imagine paying $1.9m for a lot with some floor plans. The floor plans are intriguing to me, but what's already there is decidedly not that.

I love/hate the shower tiles that come straight from a 1960s era movie about "the future".

I hate the spiral staircase and the kitchen/bathrooms are NMS, but otherwise I kind of love it. The views alone would sell me.

Earthquake safety is not a thing I've ever had to think about in my life, so I'll take your word for it on that! Realistically I wouldn't want to own a house that would fall apart in an earthquake, but realistically a 2 million dollar house isn't going to ever happen for me anyway, lol.

I really dislike houses where I can feel that I’m not on the bottom floor.

I need to send this to H. He is in the “These houses are half a million, why should I need to redo the kitchen?!” stage of our house hunt.

FTR, I do like it. I’d be annoyed at all the angled walls, but I’d love to put a heavy MCM hand on decorating it.

I should have read the description before looking at the photos because I was so confused! I kept looking for the garage and green roofs and couldn't figure out how, based on the exterior photos, there was room on the first floor for two bedrooms. Was also confused by the waves on the pool 😂

Beautiful lot though!

I don't hate it. And especially when you add in the location, the price isn't to terrible for it as is. Considering Bay Area prices, this seems okay.
