The 2nd house is a deal compared to the first. The Abby mansion is just a big pit to throw money into. Maintenance + utilities, alone, would be a super-big headache.

+1 about location plus the 2nd home has access to some of the best schools.

Well how much would it cost to buy 2nd house if it was built in Abbotsford?

Also how much would it cost to buy 1st house if it was built in Vancouver?

Here is a nice video lol:

Man, the finishing looks terrible

Must have been built in the 80s...

built in the late 90's I would guess -- way too contemporary to attract most wealthy people imo

and holy crap, 45 foot high ceilings = hiring someone with scaffolding to come in to dust your house

This is like those pointless castles they build on huge lots in the states. Like that dumbass lady in the states who spent like 30 years building the worlds biggest house. It had like 9 dedicated gift wrapping rooms.

By the time she finished the last section, the first section of the house was decrepit and worn down, so they had to renovate it...

Started building in 97.

Looks like there was no thought to layout or functionality. Just wanted something big.

With 20 acres of land you could grow blueberry's to offset the cost.

op^

looks tacky as hell, plus id rather be close to the city than be in a farmland..

is it just me? that huge mansion does not look complete...looks like so many bits and pieces put together especially from outside.

NJ is notorious for "McMansions" and they're similar to this home.

I would fill it with prostitutes and webcams

Group buy for a RS brothel?

Bunny Ranch North

Lots of ignorant people! This fucking house is basically a luxury fortress for living. Put $500k in renovations and the house would be complete. Or hire award winning interior home designers to stage it to attract buyers. Yeah its in Abbotsford but for country folks who like the suburb life this is an amazing house with acreage. Build tennis court, basketball court, mini golf or go cart would be so fun. No annoying neighbors and plenty of privacy. Could around naked inside and nobody would see.

I would never freely live in Abbotsford but if it meant I could live in this house I would change my mind instantly. Have a penthouse in Yaletown for summers and live in this Abbotsford for the winters. Ain't shit to do when its raining so just hire DJ's and have huge parties everyday when its raining.

And here's a little perspective: http://i.imgur.com/wHMCIWM.jpg <-------$2.1M for that piece of shit Vancouver crack house!! :lawl:
Absurd Vancouver Property of the Week - the thirties grind

After looking at the video that house is ugly as fuck and the only thing that's worth something is the property. Better off demoing is and subdividing the property since it needs so much work

The big house looks like it was designed by a 9 year old who played a lot of The Sims

WOW, that "the thirties grind" site is fucking depressing!!!

I'm having the greatest time in my 30's, so much fun and always having new and interesting experiences. If life becomes "a grind" why the fuck are you living that way? Goddamn.

500k would not do it. The whole house has to be gone threw from top to bottom to see if everything works. The whole house probably should be repainted. The home theater needs a minimum of 50 to 100 k in work alone and lets not forget A/V for the rest of the house. How much is it going to cost to get wifi for the whole house? The landscaping would be another easy 50K. The pool probable needs a bunch of work too. All that is just to start.

You also would have a hard time finding people to do the work. No one wants to finish someone other persons work.

:heckno:

pool is too small for your sharks

That explains the price drop from 9 mil to 3 mil.

I'd build in abbotsford or Langley for sure, I want pivate acerage not side by side west houses where you're looking Into your neighbors kitchen.

However I don't think it's ignorant to call this house an abomination to anyone who knows anything about finishing etc. Look at that master it's got that huge feature on the ceiling then seemingly no crown, baseboard, built ins etc.
