Slightly odd-ball homes - an asset to a neighborhood?

There's a difference between a home that freakishly sticks out and makes you shake your head every time you drive by, and a whimsical home with a little bit of an attitude. I love the homes with an attitude. The freaks, not so much. I feel really sorry for the neighbors who have to live next to the yellow house with the purple polka dots that looks like it has the measles.

Olympia is a little bit of an eccentric town, a uniqueness that's reflected in some of the local homes.

Sandy, I love unique homes also. We don't have many where I live now but the town I grew up in did and I always thought they were great!

I love the Tudor style. It's very charming.

The Zebra door, on the other hand.........

Hi Sandy, I really like the architectural style and character of the first home, and the aqua trim. Like Ralph, the zebra door is interesting...

Do you like and have anyone interested in a unique home in Tacoma. My son-in-law and daughter just finished rehabing a 3 bedroom unique home at 6331 South C Street. MLS 71341. It is all new inside with absolutly unique bedroom and floorplan. Such a fun house for individual or family.

With so many houses on the market, this one could be missed. It is MOVE-IN ready!!

Sandy, I love your attitude and blog!! THANK YOU!!

Patricia, the house looks adorable. I wish I had a buyer looking in this price range, or area.
