So... You've won it big play poker, or maybe you finally got that massive raise and promotion you've been vying for. Either way, you're looking for a new house to move into. You start going through MLS and because that site kinda sucks, you come across a house you think looks quite interesting... yet they only show one picture:

Curious, you decide to book an appointment to check it out. You figure... hey, it's only ten years old... the exterior looks quite interesting. It's got to look nice inside!

You pull up the driveway and notice the front entrance:

Okay, so maybe it needs a bit of landscaping. No big deal. The bonus will deal with that.

First impressions inside? Impressive architecture!

What's next? Okay, the kitchen. Eh, it looks a little small for a 44,000 square foot house but a closer inspection reveals a restaurant-grade kitchen hidden behind the first one. Weird, but okay...

And then... you turn around. And into another dimension. Want to check out the dining room?

Okay...

http://priceypads.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Kitchen.jpeg

Yup, that's their dining room furniture. And that living room looks rocking as well.

Okay... well, maybe they're getting some furniture redone... or something.

Let's check out the rest of the house. Remember, it was built in 2003, so it should be all modern and shit.

Holy shit, this house is a time machine! You walk from the 21st century back into the 1970's! And it's not just the bathroom that somehow managed to be teleported forward over 30 years...

My eyes!



Suddenly spending that extra million on that villa up in Whistler is starting to sound pretty good.


Oh, for bonus marks... who can tell me what's wrong with this photo?

Moral of the story? Uhm... I'm not entirely sure, but this makes me feel how half of the houses in Richmond must look like inside... :lol jk

So.. crappy interior in an Abbotsford mansion makes you feel that half of Richmond are cheap bastards that care only about image?

Cool story bro.

Maybe it's a time machine and threw up all over the house.

Nice description BTW


An Estate of unmatched quality and design on a truly world class scale. One of Canada largest Estates in a private and rural setting just 1 hour outside of Vancouver. The home features every possible amenity but still awaits some finishing touches.

Clearly you missed the fact that it was a joke. ;)


Apart from that, I'd say the second half of my statement is more or less correct. :p

wtfff... this is some really eerie twilight zone shit

this has gotta be a prank, there's no one who would have such fuckin weird furnishing in a house like that.. unless it was the butabi brothers on crack.

every single pic, i didn't know whether to laugh or cringe





oh and if it was built 10 years ago, how the hell did you get 2003????


all the jerking off affecting your math?

i'd spend MAX mill and a half or 2 mill on this place... considering its in abbotsford

i actually quite like the structure, its just the wtf furnishings and other outdated shit that bugs me, but with like a mill in rennovations, i think its an aight place

1-2 million dollar homes are actually pretty common in Abbotsford.

Its obvious why its furnished like that, the owners went bankrupt and can't afford to furnish their home or put the finishing touches on it. Thats hardly a rare event.

it's clearly just the design, but if you're buying that house.

I would take it as a discount, and remodel it, and boom you're setup. As long as the floor plan is sound, it's not that hard to redo the interior. Consider it's massive, things can be done to your specs.

And seeing that most homes in this range, are usually remodeled or redesign to suit the new home owner, the furniture doesn't mean much to me.

Seems like they built it to flip it, the furnishings are probably just there for a caretaker or something.

The design is horrendous though.
