Remarks
Great starter home located on a quaint block in brisbane 1BD/2BA home with living/dining room combination, wood burning fireplace & kitchen with deck attached offering nice views to the west. Spacious rear yard with hot tub home is currently tenant occupied.

I’m not sure if Burbed readers are aware of this, but new buildings are constructed with giant blast resistant walls at the base so as to minimize damage when car bombs go off. The new World Trade Center 7 is such a building.

Well, fortunately, the folks who built this fine Brisbane house were ahead of the times and did the same for you already. Living on the second floor, you’ll hardly notice if someone comes by and blows up their car. Heck, they could blow up two cars and at most you’d lose your balcony. But your fine fine box store like abode will still be fine and your family safe.

Won’t you think of the Children?

Burbed reader Jeff sent this in recently:

He writes:

is it better to pay $934 a square foot, or rent for $1500 a month? Hmmmmm.

Obviously it’s better to pay $934 a square foot. Just think of the tax write off on the mortgage income deduction. And more importantly, just think - you get to tell all your friends you own a home in Brisbane. With a low $3263 mortgage.

Otherwise, you’d just be throwing away $1500 a month by renting the same house.

Besides, as we all know, inflation and appreciation are going up. So by next year, this house will be worth $800,000, and your rent will go up to $921304 a month.

Duh!

A condo alternative w/ a new roof! A great place to start in a lovely town only minutes from SF and Peninsula. Sunny location away from the stress of the city. Small town of less than 4000 people. Free Shuttle to Bart/Caltrain. Close to schools, restaurants, coffee house, library, parks, and public pool.

Thanks to Burbed reader Jeff for this find. Now this is what I like! $832 per square feet!

Jeff thinks the ceilings are moldy - but I’m not so sure. It might just be decorational. What do you think?

Personally I find the exterior pics more interesting. I really like the symmetry of the house vs the shed in the back:

Actually, on second thought, are those two pictures of the same house - front and back? I’m pretty confused at this point.

Nonetheless, I think the person who took the primary photo (at the top of this post) deserves an award for Best Angle and Creative Composition. I bet the photog also worked on Godzilla and other similar projects. Great work!

This kind of stuff just adds value and makes the price worthwhile!

Is it just me… or did someone copy and paste the first floor onto the second floor? I mean… really… doesn’t that look weird?

I guess with that million dollar view, you have to have some cost savings along the way…
