View It and Drool

Oh, are you serious?

I was joking about this place. A hundred year old tiny bungalow on a miniature lot for $299,000. A few years ago some old lady was living in one of these in Ballard. A builder had assembled every lot he needed to build a condo complex except hers. She didn't want to move so she kept turning down his increasingly generous offers. I think the final offer was $750,000 or so, which she turned down too. So he just built his complex around her.

As far as I knew she is still alive and living there.

Ha
Nope, unfortunately Miss Macefield is no longer with us. I think in her place I might have taken the last offer, which probably would have been enough to have the house moved to a different lot.
