The house had a lot of funky details but it wasn't my cup of tea. 1 Bedroom, living room, 2 bathrooms, office and a kitchen. He was older, divorced and lived by himself with lots of toys. This was in aldergrove so he had lots of land, I doubt that would work in the city. The house doesn't even look like a house it looks like a small school because of the type of roof and the high ceilings.
The only problem is that house will be damm hard to sell if he ever wants to move and he put a lot of money into with the detail work and funky architecture.

My fam looked at a house in Abbotsford that was somewhat similar. It used to be a church, then had additional house built on, and then a massive 4 car garage added to the back.
It had been gutted, so the expense of the house had an additional 100k reno budget added. In the end, everyone fell in love with it, and then ran from it like a curse. Other than a really impressive coolness factor, it wasn't going to work for everyone. Beautiful little property too, with a stream running through the backyard.
