Totally agree. Outside is nice. Inside...looks like 1980's scarface or some sor tof Italian Mob hang out.

Surprised anyone hasn't mentioned this yet

It must be HAUNTED, its so old and the previous owners had died. I wouldnt wanna spend 1 night in there alone.

I am sure things would be very different once you start a family and have children tho

On my previous post I was more referring to a $1-2 million, 1500sqft+ condo (instead of a 700sqft)

hmm, I would like to live in a 1500sqft and see what it's like.
I agree, single or a couple would be fine I guess.

I'm more of a backyard kind of guy though. But, when I start my family there is no way I can afford a house in Vancouver... I'll probably have to go to a cheaper district in burnaby or richmond (Not that those prices are that much cheaper either)

No one mentioned it because ghosts don't exist.

The walls in the washroom is so ugly, looks like water stains.

Imagine taking a shit in the middle of the night and you hear an echo of someone's voice coming from somewhere down the hall even though no one else was home. :eek5x:

I don't hear those things anymore. They've put me on the right medications. http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsys...ot-byodood.gif


Anyhow, updating the house (ghosts or not) would be a double-edged sword. It is in need of obvious updating but doing so would almost be tragic as there was incredible thought put into the interior that its almost a shame to remove it all.


Its kind of like the Playboy Mansion. We've all see the pictures of the interior but I've read time and again that the place is beginning to fall apart from the inside. While I have no doubt it was absolutely gorgeous in it's day but has passed it's prime. To renovate it now will be viewed as some as inappropriate as its so iconic (as is Casa Mia, apparently).


Granted, if I win the Lotto Max this Friday I fully intend to buy Casa Mia and renovate it to my taste.

With the exception of the interior. I understand where they're going with it but its not my style

I'd rather put my money towards house #5 (if I had the money) because the interior is sweet and doesn't look like it's haunte by ghosts from the 1930's :fullofwin:

I remember seeing the house on Burris street about a year ago for sale for $20M. I guess no one was interested since it's now at $15M.

fake pressed granite looks way better than that

I think just some fresh paint in some spots would be fine.
Just image that washroom with a white ceiling, the marble could stay just the way it was.

Even if it's poo colored.
