Some people complain my houses are too expensive whereas some seller/listers complain the ones I put here are too cheap, it's true, I like the extremes and I like luxury and I like good deals. All buyers want "good deals" these days, it's been awhile since a buyer said to me: I just want to pay the market price.
Now here below is my bargain for those looking to get away and downsize, I like the architectural integrity of raw concrete and decorative blocks, this one has a fantastic view and is priced at $109,000. Foreclosure in Eatonville. I hear they have these "USDA" rural mortgages, incredible zero down and NO mortgage insurance and easy qualifying, but only outside the cities, interesting:
woah, but before thee judgeth, checketh out the view from this concrete house, below:
excuse the fuzzy focus on that one, here's the description, and thanks for your patience, I'll be back to Seattle next one below this:

c/o Realogics Brokerage ID 1013 29151229The amazingly cool Paul Thiry house on the beach in Normandy Park has had a temporary reprieve while we try to find someone to buy it for ONE DOLLAR !!!!!!! and then a simple procedure to have Nickel Bros. (very experienced house movers) move it by barge it to your, probably salt-waterfront, new lot and reinstall it. Cheaper than building a new house, and you get a real piece of modern master history! and a house that looks beyond today in timeless design. But contact us SOON if you have any ideas because it's very likely it will be "ground down" into concrete rubble otherwise by the current owner of the land. Here's photos I took recently, observe the cool open staircase, and see the video below: (the support pillars seen below are almost exactly like the ones on the new BMW factory designed by another world famous architect Zaha Hadid, pictured here, in Liepzig Germany:
Now here's our Paul Thiry, below:
CLICK ON THE CENTER ARROW TO SEE THIS AMAZING VIDEO (below), taken recently of the incredible concrete and glass Thiry house: It's fate is in your hands: IT CALLS TO US: "SAVE ME" !!! call us for more information: 206-841-0003:
