Novato Eye-Sore
This Novato PoS (1520 sq ft, built in 1951, 3 br 2 ba) is a total fixer. Nothing has been done to it (obviously) but it does have a large lot (14,244 sq ft). Asking $749,000.
Many things come to mind: that X-files episode with the guy (legless and armless) living under a bed on a skateboard; or perhaps chainsaw wielding tenants; or lots of feral cats chomping on their now dead mistress; or Mickey Rourke's latest address?
I actually like this house. It pisses me off that the owner took s**t care of it and now has the gall to ask $749,000 for it. And I would not pay that much for a house this size even if it were in good condition. But it's a cute little place, under all the neglect.

"(legless and armless) living under a bed on a skateboard"
Or that mother of the clan of mutants that was kept under the floorboards. Yep, Marin sure has some great shooting locations--for horror flics.
Lordy. Where will this madness end?
