So I recently read about a house in an affluent suburb of Calgary, Alberta.

I hope the link works, there’s no pictures but, meh.
This house went on the market for about 1.4 million dollars Canadian.
5 year old, 5 bedroom, 2 level, ~3500sqft, triple attached garage!
It was ignored because it doesn’t have a spice kitchen!
I had never heard of this feature until now and I was blown away by looking it up. It’s pretty much a second kitchen for cooking with spices and oils etc that can be closed off to keep odors and aromas from going throughout the rest of the house.
Apparently this is a feature that’s very common in Eastern cultures. Curry and other very aromatic spices? East Indian dishes specifically I imagine.
Anyhoo, I was most surprised that the lack of this feature was the big deal-breaker. There is a large East Indian population in Calgary (I know, I worked there as a Paramedic in the ‘90s) and they have some amazing homes.
Has anyone else seen, heard of, or even has one of these? I can’t imagine paying the utilities for a place with 2 kitchens, as well as the other amenities!
I’m quite frugal obviously if that is my first impression, but wow!
My 2 pesos…

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
