I know what you're thinking: House like this is going to look like a steak house on the inside, right?

You would be absolutely correct.

Nothing puts me more in my comfort zone than sitting on this folding chair, working at my awkward desk, breathing in fumes from the clothes dyer on a crisp winter's night.

Now let's see, 'When You Can't See God's Hand, Trust –––" WHA AAAAAHH! HOLY FUCK MY LEG!"

I should post some from my area. The latest in Russian tryhard decor.

Please do. This is an Open House.

Who puts slogans on their wall like that? It looks like a nursing home.

Also, I love this shit so much. Gotta go find some corkers.

when we were househunting we looked at a place that was just like that converted garage, it was like there had been a terrible murder & they had just done a fly by night carpet/paint job.

oh and: no acoustics. completely dead sound. creeeeeeeepy as fuck.

There were a lot more fish in that barrel than I imagined last night when I started clicking around the local realtors map.

After a long day at the office, I like to kick off my flip flops, snuggle up under a sleeping bag in my favorite lawn chair, and listen to a CD."

Whoops. Don't forget to turn on the spotlights.

It's hard to reach the light switch when the earth is tilting like that.

lol the harp photo

I don't know if this goes here or on the your terrible ideas thread.

But browsing through the Memphis listings, decided there really should be an Eggleston Realty Co.

House painters and interior design mags convince people to do all kinds of stupid shit, often because it costs more and/or will seem tired in a few years. Painters convinced us to do a stupid-looking two-tone thing in our eat-in kitchen that I really regret. Walls really don't need to be two colors.

Horror House II: the Stalking Sink.

The place in that pic costs $200 a week people. Melbourne is an expensive hell.

What is that room? And down here, what's going on with the mirrored top in front of the mirror with the ... air hockey puck on it?

http://i.imgur.com/72Mf62F.jpg

Anyway. Melbourne might be expensive, but blue paint sure ain't.

Ha, right? I think thats just a living room, with a laundry off it because that makes sense? Actually, tbf the ad was for a bungalow behind a house, so its probably only 2 rooms all told.

Now thats how you sell a bedroom ... ? :|

They'll give you 15, but you'll only need five!

Ugh I fucking hate how narrow OFI windows are. And at such useless times, too, who has time to get off work and make to an opening at 5 if they work til 5.

I miss the days when you could just walk into an agents, pick up the keys for a bunch of properties and leave a fiddy for each one in deposit.

I've tried to understand what's going on with Australian real estate, but it's hopeless.

For example, in the States, you hold an auction only if it's a foreclosure or it's a shitty property that no one wants. Apparently down there, it's the opposite - you take the photos and show your home, then wait for the big auction day where you'll likely get more than you asked for.

(Well, in Sydney, at least.)

Yeah sale by auction is something that crept in maybe 15-20 years back and seems ubiquitous now. And its precisely so they can make as much money as possible (a la ebay auctions I guess). I've been priced completely out of home ownership because I need $80k just for the *downpayment* and I just cannot get that sort of money together. Its insane.

yes they listed with swastika graffiti intact http://www.movoto.com/quilcene-wa/411-sea-home-rd-quilcene-wa-98376-501_320196/

Geez.

I was thinking thats a lot of money for a shitshack but its on 7 acres of waterfront, that'd go for like 3 jillion here :(

"Yah, you can look at it that way, but didja know that in some cultures, it's a symbol of luck?"

its a banksy

I feel IA at the shape of the living room in this luxury condo in my neighborhood that also sells for nearly 3x the price of a nearly equivalent co-op apartment.

You don't like that it ends at a point?

Look! You get that nifty little reading nook because of it. If it was flat, the nook would directly face the rest of the room.

IDK why it annoys me so much, partly just because it's so narrow compared to typical apartments in my neighborhood, which are mostly very spacious due to having been built in the 40s/50s. The point is awkward to me though, like it doesn't really look comfy as a nook, but it also doesn't interact with the rest of the room.

but it also doesn't interact with the rest of the room.

http://i.imgur.com/MobN7iy.jpg

Could that be the point?

http://i.imgur.com/btS0Gny.jpg

It does look narrow, but hey, isn't that life in the big city?

http://i.imgur.com/IZM4caY.jpg

"Can I get you anything? Perhaps some Pringles?"

xp, IDK it just looks like an awkward layout resulting from an awkwardly shaped building resulting from an effort to put the maximum # of apartments on an awkwardly shaped lot to me. And it's absurdly expensive for the area, although the terrace has a "bar pergola."

"Pressure-washer gathering dust? Have we got the house for you!"

That one hits a little too close to home.

As in, that is my home - how did you find it.

i am truley sorry for your lots

Here's another view of the room, but I'm telling you, we get more questions than answers from it.

Maybe she doesn't even use the ladder? Just a swing and a jump each night?

And yes, there is a third child.

https://i.imgur.com/KPKXDzr.png

This one may be the youngest, but already, she's mastered the art of the long jump and doesn't even need a stupid ladder.

How did they find a solid beam that was straight up from the corners like that?

I bet they didn’t

in the uk attic joists are 400mm apart, about 16 inches. you might get lucky.

I'm no engineer, but I kinda feel like that support chain from the ceiling ain't doing shit

That set up is probably fine if you have the platform nailed to each of the studs and the chain ties into a ceiling joist.

=I'm sure there is a structurally sound way to do it. But also like why? And why no rails and why not a ladder that attaches to the bed?

Yeah, the ladder thing is very weird.

Should be a trebuchet to launch the kids into the bed.

suppose the tour is confusing until you reach the garage to see a giant lever below the sign "FLOOR VOLTAGE" with "0V" and "20,000 V" at each end

There's just a little part of me that sees that and wonders "Do you like your kids?"

After awhile, I decided that the kids must sleep on the floor.

My kids would happily sleep on the floor if that meant they never had to make their bed. These rooms are perfect for them.

I'm going to sound like a snob. I don't mean to be elitist. Hell, I'm not even that much of a sports fan anymore.

https://i.imgur.com/QcSACLU.png

But go inside. Just go inside and watch the game from your living room. You're embarrassing yourself, and you're embarrassing the neighborhood.

I'm going to assume this setup has something to do with the smoker in the corner.

The surprise is *not* that it’s C$1.5 mil in Halifax (do fishermen make that much)?

> International design touches such as Mexican kitchen tiles, Italian marble in a Roman-style bathroom with “Sicis” mosaics, and Spanish swan faucets elevate this home’s character.

description is missing a few details...

Wait I don't understand, why are we mad at Morris Street? I think it looks incredible, I love it even though admittedly it's over the top in a certain IG-ready aesthetic and I maybe wouldn't have chosen every detail.

The last picture(s) of the attic…not mad just funny to live in a Pharoah’s cursed tomb

Oh I would 100% have chosen the detail where the toilet in the attic is inside a mummy. 100%.

Oh no I missed that!!

the toilet and a shower head

Oh yeah! I love that. My issue with the pics is that the images are so blown-out or highly contrasted or whatever is done to make them look super bright and sharp and saturated, that everything almost looks VR/fake.

HDR - a poisonous visual drug to which most realtors are terminally addicted.

although tbf most of those are just "paste in blue sky" on photos which are clearly lit by grey daylight

Wait they kept the garbage house and didn’t demolish it??

It might look great when it's eventually swallowed by rising sea levels

For all the money poured into this thing, you think he would have sprung for a full-size pool table? Wuss.

They might've been able to ask for $35M had it not been for all the crap.

My first impression for three seconds was not "pottery room" when I got to those photos.

Not gonna lie, the viking longboat dining table is badass

Love the Buddha stained glass. You can tell those folks really follow Dharma

ngl that place is amazing. a true labor of love (though assuming both the love and the labor were outsourced). wouldn't mind having an acid trip there.. might not even need any acid

That’s house looks fun lol. Should just make it a museum.

I always get excited when I see this thread updated. Thank you to the contributors, please keep them coming

Outside the house is surrounded on three sides by water and it hides on one corner The Three Sisters, three huge basalt columns from Colorado brought here for support and stability. They protect the home and the fire pit where one can make smores

Highly recommend reading the descriptive text. The Bizarre use Of initial Caps alone makes it worthwhile, but there are so many gems.

The kitchen drawers labelled with sharpie on masking tape--one of them devoted to water chestnuts wtf

haha noticed that tape thing as well, for all that money they poured into customizing nearly every square inch they couldnt just get custom labels huh

Historic Rome Villa For Sale

However...

"However, the true allure of Villa “La Contessa” lies beyond the iron cast gate, concealing a secret of immense historical significance, the catacombs known as ‘Dei Due Felici,’ where the remains of two former Popes rest. The keys to this gate are safeguarded by the esteemed archaeological team at the Vatican, underscoring the profound connection this estate shares with Rome’s illustrious past."

I would take it.

depends which 2 popes

Wait so if you buy this home, you have to ask some Vatican twats to let you into your basement?

To my very American eye that place looks awful. I don't get tile floors, I get it that it's hot there and they don't have winter probably. I've learned that in incredibly humid places it makes sense not to have soft furnishings or upholstery bc they mildew but a hard box with hard furniture doesn't read to me as a human space.

dead popes don't mind.

If it's Marc Bolan, then just ignore this, but
