One house we looked at was owned by a former olympic swimmer. It had a pool that was 8 ft wide and 6 ft deep and the length of an olympic pool. There was a shed over one end that housed the racing dive platform. Assumed it was so you could get in and out of the pool in the winter. The pool was as wide as the entire wide house lot and had a bridge over the middle so you could get to the rest of the yard. The house was priced pretty cheap because of the weird pool.
There was one house in Nichols Hills, a really ritzy area, that my brother wouldn't let me make and offer on because the slab foundation needed piering. The concrete on the drive an front porch was crumbly on top and would have been easy to repour to make it roll in. 3500sqft, 3 bed with 6ft wide hallway going to the bedrooms with a huge bath for every bedroom besides the guest bath and a half bath between garage and laundry room. Because of the cracked and settling foundation it sold for only $70K. Got a quote of $10K to get it piered. 5 years later that house re-sold for $350K!
