A Most Lovable PoS
Love your PoS. Embrace it. Become one with the Marin PoS lifestyle. This 2 br 1 ba (built 1925), 976 sq ft stucco PoS is described by the realtor as "Classic downtown mill valley bungalow...A most lovable home with lots of potential". 'Lots of potential' -- all that has really been done to it is a fresh coat of paint. Asking a jaw-dropping $1,099,000. That's $1,126 per sq ft for a "bungalow". The amount of rationalization and self-justification that must accompany paying this kind of money for so very, very little must be staggering and would no doubt result in the publication of a number of peer-reviewed academic articles in prestigious journals.

hey, at least it looks like you don't need to mow the lawn.
> "only an easy couple of blocks from the village"
Its .6 miles and 9 blocks to downtown Mill Valley, at least to the square.
I ran by it a few weeks ago and one of its front windows was duct taped together.
I often wonder if Mill Valley realtors have some sort of contest to see how much they can get away with when selling a house. (The burnt out mattress in one of the pictures for the listing for 388 E. Blithedale takes the prize for me.)
It's the white picket fence - I think it makes potential buyers take leave of their senses.
That's right - imagine the savings with no lawn to be mowed.
And yeah, I like the spray-painting of the picket fence, where "they" also covered the walkway just below the corner closest to the picture.
Not really a million dollar paint job.
Hah! I didn't even notice the overspray. Note that the fence partially obstructs the foot path, as if they got pre-cut 8' runs of fencing that they did not want to cut short to put the last post actually in the, ahem, landscaping.
Inflation never stops..until..the dollar crashes
compared to 900 106th ave in oakland which just sold for $312,000,this place IS a bargain...at least you don't have to hire an armed guard to make sure no one steals your pit bull in marin....
yes, can some one explain again why the fence runs over the walkway?
