    Thank you. I am properly disoriented now.

    My partner say this might be an example of Outsider art.

    Seems like the listing might be part of a pyramid scheme.

    The paint doesn't bother me one bit, since that's an easy fix and was clearly loved by the previous owner. What bothers me, however, is the clear signs of neglect to the home's maintenance (bathrooms falling apart, yard in disarray, carpets tattered, etc.), which is much more involved to correct, and is usually paired with much more expensive demos (structural, plumbing, electrical, etc.).

    Well, you pay 125k for walls, a roof and some pipes and electrics. In some places that's cheap.

    Yeah, honestly if I were in the market there, this place would catch my eye real quick. The poor taste can be mostly solved with some paint in a weekend or two, but the terrible look will be offputting to enough people that you will probably get a better price

    The last house we bought was owned by a lady who collected and restored old books. There were over 5000 books in the house. There were bookcases on every wall, many of them in front of windows. The were stacks of books all over. It made the place really dark and feel cramped, but my wife and I could easily picture it without the books and bookcases, while apparently a lot of people couldn't. We got an amazing deal on it.

    My first house was a bank repo. The previously owner was an investor who bought it at peak price in the 2006 housing and then got renters into the place. The rentors were reportedly severe alcoholics from the neighbors. Beer and wine stains on all the carpets. They had also left something on the stove that caught the microwave on fire there was smoke damage in the kitchen and laundry room.

    When the housing market crashed the owner let the bank repo it and evict the tenants. It then was on the market for over a year until we offered 20% below asking price (70% less than the house sold in 2006.

    I then worked my ass off for a year to get the place up to shape. All new flooring everywhere. New paint everywhere. I also redid all of the landscaping as it was mostly dead. After a year it was the loveliest home in the neighborhood.

    Don’t know why everybody is hating on it. It looks like a house where people could express themselves. Pretty cool. If you don’t like it you can renovate and paint t your own

    I appreciate the jaunty angle of the toilet cistern. It has seen some shit but maintains an indefatigable elan.

    That was truly awful. Owner afflicted by some ancient mummy curse?

    I'm disappointed by the lack of Egyptian theme in the backyard. I expected the them would carry through.

    The paint is no big deal.

    The only thing that really bothers me about it is the layout:

    Why the fuck is the toilet on the opposite side of the kitchen from the rest of the bathroom?!

    They need to either:

    • move the toilet to the same room as the rest of the bathroom and then knock down the vestibule/pantry wall to make the kitchen less tiny, or
    • knock down the "shower room" wall to expand the kitchen, add a sink opposite the toilet (probably swapping them so the sink would be where the toilet is and the toilet would be under the stairs), and build a full bath somewhere upstairs, taking space from the weirdly-long bedroom.

    Edit: now added shitty modified floorplans


    Option 1:

    Option 2:

    Honestly? A new coat of paint on the walls and a new kitchen & bathroom and this place would be pretty solid.

    Picture #15 will shock you! (so much so that it's censored?)

    I spent too long trying to figure out what was going on with the walls (and ceiling!) in #s 2 and 3. My first thought was a kid run amuck with markers, but it's too..."well done." Wall paper? No, it's not regular enough. All I can come up with is stamps, which is confusing on its own.

    Oh, and the spot at the end of the stairs in #9, under the window to another planet--that's got to be beginning of a wormhole forming, right?
