Over the Mystic in Everett, a little more than a quarter-mill gets you a 3-BR, 2-BA house with a garage attached (albeit "best for storage"). While it's been renovated recently, the listing photos—which have that grainy news-footage quality that usually ends with a sheriff in front of microphones—show a place still in need of some TLC. Think of it as a blank slate—you can spill wine on: the price apparently included "a wine refrigerator."
