Please post bad, weird, or strange houses here. Best of Zillow repost kinda stuff. If you post groverhaus in this thread I will silently curse your name. Good house chat is fine too I guess but there is already a very good thread for Interior Design in DIY If you're going to link to a realty listing keep in mind the link will become dead eventually and hotlinked photos will go dead even faster anyway, check this poo poo out motherfucker, enormous horse ranch dream palace in florida which has monumental brick interiors with sculpted brick walls??? all enclosing a huge covered plaza and with a 50's nostalgia diner in glass block? this house has a little good, more bad, and a lot of weird https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3707-NW-110th-Ave-Ocala-FL-34482/2116891938_zpid/ this house has the sort of typical manic maximalist decor of a bored middle aged mom battling hoarder tendencies, but i laughed when i got to the "exercise room" present in this solid wall of tchotchkes https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/404-N-Vine-St-Heyworth-IL-61745/76991022_zpid/ as a counterpoint, this one has strong divorced dad energy. love that cramped rear end master bedroom/office combo https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/17-Cove-Rd-Rocky-Mount-MO-65072/236549603_zpid/ i was looking for a lake erie cocaine palace but found this soft white time capsule of the late 80s https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4348-E-Marin-Lakes-Dr-Pt-Clinton-OH-43452/51522234_zpid/ and then there's this DIY nightmare of a non-euclidean barndominium, ready for renting to film your next indie slasher film https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/23414-Obryan-Ave-Keytesville-MO-65261/245299416_zpid/ Mr. Fall Down Terror has a new favorite as of 19:11 on Apr 19, 2022 |

Mr. Fall Down Terror posted:oh well if we're posting the classics I actually kinda like a lot of that, the geometry is stupid but like, it feels like they are actually going for something, and some of the rooms do look cool. Also I do like the big geometric paving outside. It does look more like a hotel than a house though, but even then the rooms, while big, don't look anywhere near as bad as the gigantic box caverns with random windows glued on you get in a lot of the mcmansions. Actual floor to ceiling glazing with big curtain rails too. Also I do like the glass block walls. I think most of my objection is the materials and colours in some of the rooms but yeah, I would probably enjoy staying there on holiday. Though I think some of the bathrooms are trying to kill the occupant such as the infinite sink dimension and the dark cavern of indeterminable reflective surfaces.

A frames are a legit style of building, been built for thousands of years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-frame_building they got popular in the 20th century cos you can also make them easily out of prefab parts.

Baron von Eevl posted:I know a couple that built a "dream house" to their absurd specifications. The first floor is almost entirely taken up by a single huge rectangle room that includes the foyer, kitchen, dining room, den, living room, and kids play room. There is no division at all between these spaces, it's a hard floor and has high ceilings so this space is LOUD. Sound very much carries.

I guess I have to post the Chiefs house now, since I posted the Raiders house. This is in Joplin MO, btw. You'd have to drive like three hours to get to Arrowhead Stadium. This is admittedly better than the Raiders house, which is in Baltimore lol.

Why are so many of these in Missouri

# ? Apr 21, 2022 01:57 |

There's like three Missouri houses in this thread so far. Here's another one, though: I lived in this house for ten years and as soon as I left, my landlord sold it to a flipper who turned all of it the exact same shade of gray EXCEPT that one fan. Don't get me wrong, it was a terrible house and I hated it the entire time I lived there, but somehow I hate this even more. It's been on the market for over two months and they keep lowering the price and no one wants to buy it. It has 70 saves on Zillow. There are currently two similar houses on Zillow for about the same price, neither one has been up for more than a day, and both have double the saves. I hate these gray void houses so much.
