You know that well-known saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover”? Yeah, well, this guy learned that lesson all over again when he was looking at houses.
Now, usually, when you’re on Google looking for houses you check the location, the price, and what the house looks like from the outside. Just from these three things, you can get a pretty good idea of what the house is like on the inside. Even if there are shots of the rooms in the house, chances are they are pretty basic-looking and cleaned out.
However, every now and then, things can get a little bit weird and unpredictable.
Twitter user @Frazierapproves was recently scrolling through some real estate options when he came across one of the strangest house listings of all time. The house was only $159.9k and it looked pretty normal and modest from the inside.
Boy, there was nothing simple about it.
But when he took the next step and checked out the inside of the house, there was nothing normal about it. Turns out the house was a gaudy funhouse on the inside. It looked like it took inspiration from every era in time and was filled with some of the craziest stuff.
With every photo, things got more and more strange.
First, you see the yard and you’re a bit surprised that there is a pool that is… very interestingly decorated.
Then they take you inside the home and well, it is just not something you would ever expect. Old furniture covered in fur and mismatching cushions, random/slightly creepy art, and what looks like antiques galore. One wall is also covered in… Space? Tons of planets.
You think the space wall makes no sense… Until it does. Because then you go to the next room and things escalate. All of a sudden, you find that the house has its very own starship.
We were all the way back in the past and now we’re all the way in the future? Except it still looks kind of old and run down. We’re not sure this is the kind of future we want. The starship has several chairs, a meeting table, and even a TV. That’s cool, we guess.
Now let’s shake it up even more! Before you get too attached to the starship, it is also important to note that the house has its very own built-in beach.
Yes, it actually does have an indoor beach, fully equipped with sand and rocks all over the floor and a wall covered with a picture of the ocean.
“Each successive photo reveals another genre-themed room, with an increasing level of commitment. It’s like a miniature amusement park or a home-sized movie studio. It is simply the most amazing home I have ever seen,” the Twitter user went on to tell Bored Panda.
“I live in Pittsburgh and came across the listing via my local subreddit,” he said. “The front exterior photo is completely unremarkable. It’s very typical of the 1960s Suburban Pittsburgh housing vernacular… particularly in the eastern suburbs. That’s the kind of home they built for middle-class families in the last days of steel. The first surprise came with the photos of the backyard. Not only is the yard larger than one would suspect, but swimming pools are exceedingly rare in this region, due to the hilly topography and small window of summer-like temperatures.”
If you’re looking for a somewhat affordable 3 bedroom home in Pittsburgh, PA and you love fun and adventure, then maybe consider this strange place for your next move!
