Next up on the list was a house listed for $243,000. It was a 3/2. It did not have central air conditioning! It had window units! In Orlando! Florida! In 2008! For $243,000!

When you walk into the house, you are immediately hit with "icy cold" air from your first window unit perched about 7 feet up. Kind of like those convenience stores with sliding doors. The crawlspace was taken out so that you had high ceilings, which is great, unless you plan on adding central air.

The kitchen featured cabinets that went 12 feet up with zero counter space. When I say zero, I mean the stove was free standing and there was an easy chair where the fridge would go (no fridge).

The bedroom/bathroom had a very unusual feature. The bedrooms were side by side with one very long closet between them. You could not close the closet door as that was where the window unit was located. I have included pictures from the screen located in the "master" to the closet. I can only think that this was used as a hidey-hole during police raids.










We could barely contain ourselves, considering the seller's agent showed this house with a straight face. This was just unbelievable. This house is the reason the housing market is tanking. I doubt we will have any more contact with the agent, but if anybody needs a grow house....
