The Inspection Should Go Well ![]() *ARMLS. Redin/Christopher Dewitt. Instagram* You know those pirate ships in a bottle? [This house for sale]() in Peoria, Arizona, is kind of like that except its innards aren't quite as intricate as a miniature sea vessel. That's because this entire abode seems to have been built around a camper trailer or mobile home, and you can still see the original rolling structure inside as the hitch has been tucked away in its own little room. In this video that @homesbypaulina posted to [TikTok]() and [Instagram](), you can see a real estate agent touring the home. As she walks through the house, she notes its peculiar layout, especially the corridor-like kitchen. It gets even odder, though, as one end seems to have bay windows leading into a pitch-black room. Why would a kitchen have outward-facing bay windows looking into darkness? Because the kitchen used to be part of a separate structure. https://www.tiktok.com/@homesbypaulina/video/7458418746617580831 ![]() ![]() ![]() If you walk out of and around the kitchen and open a door, you can see the back of the trailer in a dark, empty room that the aforementioned windows look upon. At first, it might look like a typical utility room with a hot water heater, but it just so happens to house a trailer inside, too. Aside from having an old mobile home as its spine, this house is pretty ordinary. It's a standard, single-story house built on a slab, with laminate or vinyl floors, painted in buyer-friendly neutral colors. And, to be fair, people have definitely added on to mobile homes before—it's just that this one is almost completely disguised. ![]() ![]() ![]() From the outside, you'd never know it. And at $225,000, it's pretty affordable for this part of Arizona. Who cares if they built it around a trailer when you can get a smokin' deal like that? *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
