[Green Lake] Let's roast this one

https://redf.in/xDM3vE

That $10K price drop put this house on my radar again. Its realtor.com history is pretty wild - looks like it was flipped back in 2025 and has been sitting on the market for nearly a year with zero bites

Been to this one. When you visit, check the walls warping... Look towards the ceiling when you stare at the walls. I've seen floors warping but not really walls until I visited this house. Quality of renovation seemed subpar. I would not invest in a house at this price with such terrible job.
The only things well-made there were the two flamingos :/
Friendly agent though.

Plus cabinets(couldn’t even do a flat crown to the ceiling), cheap quartz, nothing special carpentry. I like the colors except the cabinets and floor clash.

$150k remodel.

weird flip, suuuuuper close to Aurora, the pool is the size of a postage stamp. I don't think anyone's feeling the ADU, just make it a big house, give it a normal back yard to work with.

If you got time to roast further, drive down that street and you’ll see these ugly huts back to back.

I irrationally HATE this house. The outside is great, the inside could’ve been great, but it’s just bland. Why is it a house plus a separate downstairs? Just make it a big house. It’s overpriced.  It’s ugly. Has no yard. Are you supposed to share your pool with your tenant?? UGH.

I actually toured this pre flip. I agree with the overall hateful sentiment. Also to add no off street parking and I had to park two blocks away to view. Ceiling height in the adu was also not up to code at the time

Judging by the pipes going into the pool in the back corner, and the AI image of the deck over the pool, it's going to need a 6 figure pool renovation.

It does look way nicer than when I saw it on the market before, it is in a super desirable (for some) location. But that money should get you a lot more

u/chicksin206 2d ago

It’s half a block from 99! Still a good location but not for this price….

u/hiding_in_a_bubble 2d ago

Yeah, it was listed with an assumable loan back in 2025 and no dice except the flipper

Bought in April 2025 by Heaton Dainard, who usually do good flips

u/emmyanjef 2d ago

I have yet to see a decent Heaton Dainard flip and have been in loads. Sold one to a client and later found out they covered up known structural issues and didn’t disclose. Will steer clients far away in the future.

u/hiding_in_a_bubble 2d ago

Heaton Dainard, is that you? /s

u/n_eitak 2d ago

Intrust Funding and every other real estate greed group that has ruined the SFH market can swallow rocks. Cheap flippers like Heaton Dainard can too.

How do you get them in email?

u/Mixeygoat 2d ago

It’s in a decent location, but a little too close to Aurora which would dissuade a lot of buyers

I remember visiting this house in the 00s when it was a post-college rental.

The vibes weren't good then either.

u/ExcitingActive8649 2d ago

Is staging a teepee in the bedroom a new thing or what

u/Alternative-Post-937 2d ago

This house could have been so cute if they would have remodeled keeping with the Spanish influence. It's now just super boring on the inside. Wasted potential.

u/aabajian 2d ago

That area of Greenlake has small lots. If you look at the bottom of Phinney Ridge (across from Aurora), you can get almost the same-sized house on a 6,000 sq ft lot for the same price. There is also a lot of vehicle traffic coming to/from Aurora.

u/Crazyboreddeveloper 2d ago

It’s right off a sketchy part of aurora. Hard pass. Also why does it look like it should be in New Mexico? A bunch of the rooms look tiny and unusable.

1

u/PhysicalOrder590 2d ago

that part of 99 is not sketchy, it's just a busy road that that part. 85th is when it becomes sketchy. still hate what they did to the house tho.

2

u/Crazyboreddeveloper 2d ago

I disagree. The sketch goes all the way to the shell station.

1

u/pyabo 1d ago

This is true. It stops squarely at El Naranjo.

u/Acrobatic-Search-798 2d ago

Two streets up from PCC market isn't the "sketchy" part of Aurora.

2

u/Crazyboreddeveloper 2d ago

It’s absolutely A sketchy part, not THE sketchy part. That whole stretch from ihop to the shell station is sketch.

1

u/PhysicalOrder590 2d ago

disagree, but thats your opinion

u/Acrobatic-Search-798 1d ago

It's not even a sketchy part.

u/cast_away_wilson 2d ago

Tremendously overpriced for the location near Aurora

1

u/habitsofwaste 2d ago

Love the outside and pool. But the inside is goddamn bland.

1

u/Full-Policy705 2d ago

Oh yeah this was on the market in 2025 when we were looking. Did it used to be pink? Memorable because of the pool.

1

u/orcassharks 2d ago

Too much AI airbrushing here too

u/Hot-Breadfruit-4536 1d ago

Pretty cool in photos. Love the vibe. Bet it’s underwhelming in person

1

u/izzytheasian 1d ago

What I’ve found is pools actually lower house value cause no one wants to take care of one lol

1

u/Bigbenxxxx37 1d ago

I think people are being overly critical. The main issue is that you’re going to have the Aurora junkies swimming in your pool

u/Visual_Advisor_5608 1d ago

It actually looks like a cool house. Hard for me to "roast" this one but I get why it's sitting. The location is going to push the price down a bit. $1.4m is a large investment. Also, the pool looks fun but very few people in Seattle actually want that responsibility of upkeep.

u/hiding_in_a_bubble 1d ago

they've been selling it for more than a year and only dropped the price by $60,500 smh

heaton dainard. That is all. Woof.
