It feels.like there's a few tales to be told about that place.

For starters it looks like a house has been put on top of another house.

Then a few rooms look like they were fitted out for animals, possibly primates.

Then the rest of the house has the feel of a cheap porn venue.

All selling points as far as I'm concerned, although it might need a scrub down with bleach.

It looks like a house that has held more than one person prisoner.

Possibly with their consent. Is this horny jail?

We must be looking at different houses. I'm seeing rape dungeon, you're seeing party pad. Hmm.

You say potato I say potahto.

That was my thought as well: "that's quite the cat tree"...

"Wait, the whole house is a cat tree? "

And the scale suggests they'd be big cats. I suppose the lingering odour of lion urine would keep most wildlife away (also people).

That gives it the air of professionalism it doesn't deserve. It's just a place folks can get freaky on film.

It still sells. The house? Not so much?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

That there is a house with character. Seems like you could explore in there for days unless it collapsed on you

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

I don't know what I was expecting the house to look like, but it wasn't that

The realtor is doing their best... "Are you looking for a unique home with ample space to create and make your own. This home boasts a large unique master bedroom, living areas and bathrooms. Come take a look, see the possibility and turn this into your dream today." 🙄

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

But is it unique enough?

It reminds me of Groverhaus.

Honey, don't forget to put on your sunscreen before getting in the love tub!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

If you know on the door you're either gonna die at that house or get the best damn feed you've ever got.

Honestly, not too bad and very affordable. Of course it would need some TLC but still

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This thing looks very slapped together. I agree that there is potentially opportunity, but I would be very cautious of the structural integrity. It's possible the person who did this was short on funds but knew what they were doing. It's also possible they were just winging it.

The Yahoo! Typography is the cherry on the top.

The font that makes comic sans look stodgy.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I always wanted to pay $184k to tear down a house! How did they know?

Seriously, the realtor isn't even trying. The description is hilarious. I guess when you have the love child of a cabin and a funhouse built in what looks like about 3 of the crappiest trailers in the park glued together haphazardly, there's not much you can say to make it appealing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Post pictures: eh, it's a lame and tacky diy but alright I guess...whatever, it's nothing a sawzall can't fix.

First exterior shot I see: Oh this is some hillbilly shit right here.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

This whole place looks like one big YEEEHAAAH code violation

"She said I'm gonna hire a wino, to decorate our home.
So you'll feel more at ease, here, and you won't need to roam.
We'll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall.
And a neon sign'll point the way to our bathroom down the hall."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I like how, out of all the pictures on the page you picked the least awful one to put in this thread.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Makes me want sassaprilla real bad

lol it was sold this January for $130,000

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've lived in worse. Just look at those floors!

The camo toilet seat cover really hammers home the Wisconson DIYer feel.
