House a Winner in Several Categories
RECEIVED Fri., April 21, 2006
Dear Editor,
Just an FYI. You posted the winner of the bloat contest today and wanted to send a tree to the owner of the house [“We Have a Winner! Sort of ...,” News, April 21].
To my knowledge it has not been sold. It was built from an out-of-neighborhood developer that obviously lacked any sense of scale or taste.
My wife and I couldn't resist going to tour it on one of its "open houses" (which is almost every weekend of every month). We scaled the oversized stairwells, knocked on the hollow doors, and can sum it up as such: spit and toilet paper piled 35 feet high.
By the way, a friend of mine who is a big realtor in town told me that the realtors association of Austin recently took their own tour of homes in the area. This one was on the docket and was unofficially voted as the ugliest house currently on the market.
If realtors are saying this, buddy, you know the thing's a stinker.
