Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.
Posting guidelines.
Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.
Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.
Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

I want to give them the benefit of the doubt and say perhaps it's a deep freezer that is only opened occasionally, and I guess is pretty well sealed as long as it's closed.
The kitchen appears to have one of those built-in fridges that matches the cabinets:
Is this that much weirder than the widespread British practice of putting washing machines in kitchens?
We have to. Have you seen the size of flats over here?
Yes, putting an electrical appliance in the bathroom is weirder than putting an appliance that requires both power and plumbing in the room that always has both power and plumbing.
Kinda have to, if the building is older than widespread home washing machines.
The houses I grew up in were both Victorian so bathrooms were built in only the 80's or sometime like that, so they were on the ground floor and quite large. Both had the washing machines in the bathroom and not the kitchen due to this. The bathroom acts as part utility room.
More modern places I've lived lack any form of utility rooms. In my current flat the washing machine is in the kitchen, there isn't plumbing and space anywhere else for it.
Where else would you put it? Might as well just place it next to all the other appliances. We do it in Germany too, pretty sure it's just a European thing.
My family/me (in and around berlin):
Me: WM in the kitchen
Parents: WM in the bathroom
Brother: WM in a little nook on the corridor(? Flurnische)
Another Brother: WM in the basement (benefits of a house)
I think in the US we typically prefer for them to be out of sight. Houses here often have a small laundry room specifically for the washer and dryer. Barring that, they are usually tucked away in a closet (apartments or smaller houses) or in the garage or basement.
I wonder if this is one of those things the US benefits from having most of our homes built after indoor plumbing. A not insignificant portion of European homes were built before prolific indoor plumbing, no? So when homes were retrofitted for plumbing, it made sense it keep it all located in one place and then it became the style for all homes.
