well that's better than north of austin, you can get a really lovely small suburban home about an hour outside the city for 700k now. totally not sustainable but here we are again marching lockstep into a recession.

what the gently caress is up with this combined foyer/living room situation. this house has the DIY feel of a self-designed smaller house but with all the rich people amenities like giant rooms and commercial grade cooking gear in a wet bar or some poo poo. a wood fired oven and some kind of carpeted exercise spa
This is a common part of the mcmansion aesthetic. Rich person "designs" their dream house and hands it off to the construction company. It is immediately and blatantly obvious to the construction company that this house sucks poo poo and will be miserable to live in but all saying that will do is cost them a client. So they put in the bare minimum alterations required to make sure it doesn't immediately fall down, pocket a few million, and move on to the next my-trust-fund-just-vested couple.

What does it say about me that I would live in a supervillain bank? I do own a paintbrush, but I don't have that many coffee cups, though, so I might not be qualified.

The only places to sit down are the utilitarian folding chairs on the balcony and I think a wooden bench with it's back to the bar.

"We'll put a nice table in the central area for people to enjoy. Also this table will be covered in stuff and surrounded by smaller tables covered with stuff. This is relaxing."

It used to be a thing in smaller towns where the official sheriff's residence would have one or two cells in it instead of having a local jail but that doesn't quite jibe with the rest of the house.

it looks like they spent a ton of money building it, but it's not selling for a ton of money. it was a passion project, which is very very creepy.

there's just no good use for a literal jail in your house other than depraved poo poo. even the aesthetic isn't any good, it's too brutal. I'll say it, it's ugly af.

I saw that house in another thread, and someone did some research (boy, I'm good at attributions!), and said the history was mansion --> courthouse/jail/sheriff's house (all one) -->Bed & Breakfast. Thus, huge, jail cells, and restaurant seats. Sorry to spoil the fun.



Seriously, what can you do with jail cells besides wine cellars and perverts?

I've seen senior care facilities in houses with similar setups. Shits weird.

Probably still better than the people in Cali who put tiny houses in their backyard with no plumbing and the power is just a cable run from the actual house renting for 1k or more.

It seems like a common thing in big cities with older houses where a lovely landlord will chop them up in such a way to try to cram as many people as possible into a property.
