The Ten Realtor Commandments: Rules To Live By

There are a lot of unique homes out there. Some look plain from the outside but are spectacular inside. Some flag you down from miles away by their ever pervading visual presence. Then, there are some that seem like they are straight out of a fantasy novel.
One such example recently sold on the market for a cool $920,000. Before you lose your jaw on the floor, the home was originally listed for $1.2 million. This place has been dubbed the “Mushroom House,” (not related to this one), “Flintstone House,” and “Smurf House.” What makes it so amazing to warrant the titles and hefty price tag?
The renovation by Roy Mason (called “The Marshmallow Architect” by The Washington Post) lasted three years. Probably because it took him that long to finish reading the Lord of the Rings for inspiration.
Mr. Garfinkle reports that the renovation costs ended up being more than he expected. It nearly ruined them financially. Forty-eight years later, I’m sure the $920,000 valuation was a breath of fresh air.
As Edward Garfinkle stated, “One good thing is that it probably slows the traffic down on our street. The cars don’t go flying by as much as in the rest of the neighborhood. It’s better than a speed bump.”
