Is the ghost hot?

No such thing as ghosts, go ahead and buy it.

However, I have another theory on the cheap price. The building is constructed of sandstone blocks, and I've never understood using sandstone as a construction material. It's got a lot of areas that are cracking badly, and I bet it would cost more than the house price to get all of that restored. That, more than the ghosts, might explain the price.

Nonetheless, it's still an unbelievably cool house. If it's still on the market in another six months, I might ask for a showing.

I'd buy the house, but I wouldn't buy the Atari cartridge again. Lame-ass follow-up to "Adventure"... and when you make ducks-for-dinosaurs, an arrow-for-a-sword, and a block-for-an-avatar look good, you REALLY suck.

One caveat is parking, which I think is tough in that area, but parking can be overcome.
It could be a live in office too. I was figuring it as a office and rent out part to make your payment. 12,000 sqft is big!

And monthly parking for employees paid by them is usually part of the deal downtown

Buy it.

Call Paranormal State, but agree to let them film only if they bring Chip Coffey.

Watch the hilarity ensue.

Yeah, it's far more space than we need, but I wouldn't turn it down.


Soooo...you want to be an investor?

Interesting indeed. I wonder what it would cost? When I walked by today, the portico between the house and the carriage house had a tarp on it where it was being restored, but that's about 1% of the house.

You could make part of it a company workout area and put in a nice steam room/lockerroom, some raquetball courts, a weightlifting area, and some good cardio equipment...maybe even a heavybag. Just a way to say thank you to your employees and to keep them healthy and happy.

On second thought that might piss off the ghosts. They might get jealous that you are trying to keep everyone healthy and living longer.

What if the ghost was a boxer?

If you are serious, you need to get an inspection done by a company with some deep pockets that has a good reputation.

That building is old and could have all kinds of problems. If that property has asbestos it could be worth nothing. Make sure you know what you are doing on this. It is probably cheap for a reason.

Good looking building though.

That one could be called the Elway Room .....
