This 1924 uh, er...roof is a bargain for $240K. It's located in Garden City, KS and has 2bds, 2ba.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not bad, right? The entrance actually reminds me of an earth ship home. This is a nice, sunny, plant room with a built-in seat.
Tumblr media
It must've been remodeled b/c it's giving mid-century modern vibes. The living room is spacious, has a great fireplace and a built-in desk with a storage armoire and wood plank beamed ceiling. I like the tile floor and the lighting, too.
Tumblr media
Needs a good cleaning, some decor, and it will be a beautiful room.
Tumblr media
This is unique- doors open to reveal a terrace to the plant room.
Tumblr media
There are so many interesting features to this home, like a large walk-in closet.
Tumblr media
There are also open levels. Lots of them.
Tumblr media
More stairs. Could this be a bedroom? There's a full bath and a curtain for privacy.
Tumblr media
The bath was definitely remodeled in mid-century. Look at the sinks.
Tumblr media
Lots of shelving in the hallway. At least I think it's a hallway.
Tumblr media
More stairs.
Tumblr media
Look at the bathroom sink in there- it's in a recessed box-like structure with a light.
Tumblr media
This is the dining area with an overhead chandelier and built-in cabinets.
Tumblr media
And, the kitchen.
Tumblr media
It's nice and on one of the upper levels, so the window has a view of the room below.
Tumblr media
Kitchen and dining room.
Tumblr media
The family room has a lovely fireplace.
Tumblr media
Across from the family room is another open area. I don't know what you'd use that for. Maybe a home office.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Through the doors of the family room, there seems to be a small loft area and more stairs.
Tumblr media
On the way down the stairs there's a planter.
Tumblr media
This house is like a maze. Looks like a closet and bath.
Tumblr media
And, down here is the laundry room.
Tumblr media
I like this house, but right now I'm lost. I think it's the stupid photos they took.
Tumblr media
At last, I think I found a bedroom.
Tumblr media
We're back in the plant room. If you look up, you can see one room above and another room below.
Tumblr media
The back of the property has a large cement area and fence.
Tumblr media
Inside the fence is a huge dirt yard and a cement patio.
Tumblr media
There's a shed, too. It really needs some landscaping and looks like there's plenty of room for a garden. It's an 8,681 sq. ft. lot.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thanks to Curieously for finding this wonderfully quaint 1830 artist's home and art gallery in Bristol, ME. Just look at that little pink windmill. 6bds, 2ba, $625K.
Tumblr media
The entrance to the home is so pretty, I love informal gardens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Love that everything is so original. The fireplace is wonderful and so is the wide plank floor with a worn path to the next room. What a cozy living room.
Tumblr media
Lovely dining room. The vintage fixture above fits perfectly. It's a simple home, no need for a fancy chandelier.
Tumblr media
The kitchen has just enough modernization and those floors!
Tumblr media
The simple cabinets and worn finish make it look as if they might be original.
Tumblr media
Original hearth, but I wonder if they put a wall over the original fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a beautiful room with the little turret-like bumpout.
Tumblr media
They are focusing on the fireplaces in the home. Maybe this is a bedroom
Tumblr media
And, this room is lined with wide plank knotty pine, although I suspect that it's fairly recent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nice rounded railings and stairs.
Tumblr media
Lovely light-filled bedroom.
Tumblr media
Empty room modernized for a gallery.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wow, look at the studio.
Tumblr media
Photo of the whole home. It's pretty big for the price.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two other entrances. This home also has a Mansard roof and 2 acres of land.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you've always wanted a castle with a dungeon, here's your chance, b/c this house has one. The idyllic looking 1922 Tudor in Portland, OR looks like a lovely country estate, and for the most part, it is. 5bds, 6ba, $3.5M.
Tumblr media
The long entrance hall.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The house looks like a Tudor outside, but it's very castle-like on the inside. Look at the magnificent great room.
Tumblr media
The dining room looks like it's in a castle with it's stone walls and fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chef's kitchen has fancy carved tri-color cabinetry.
Tumblr media
Off the kitchen is a dinette/family room combo with a lovely big fireplace.
Tumblr media
Nicely updated powder room.
Tumblr media
Handsome wood paneled home office.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The large primary bedroom has a door to a terrace, built-in corner shelves, and a pretty fireplace.
Tumblr media
Love the preserved retro baths. The toilet and tub are original.
Tumblr media
Big home theater.
Tumblr media
I don't know what this room is, but I think it's related to the dungeon.
Tumblr media
And, here's the dungeon. It's very well-lit and features steel doors.
Tumblr media
You'll have to decorate it yourself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The grounds are absolutely stunning.
Tumblr media
There's also this lovely guest house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beautiful greenery and water features.
Tumblr media
There's even a lily pond.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are 2.99 acres of gorgeous grounds.

Tumblr media
This 1890 home in New Orleans, LA is absolutely my favorite style and you don't come by homes like this very often. 5bds, 4.5ba, $1.35M. If only...
Tumblr media
I love the time worn look. Apparently, buyers like the remodeled, all white look, though, b/c this home has been on the market for 275 days. Shame that no one who has the money to buy it appreciates it.
Tumblr media
I adore this look. Wouldn't change a thing.
Tumblr media
Love the fireplace and the addition of the cascading plants make it pop. Bet someone buys it and completely redoes it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pool room only has slightly worn floors and molding.
Tumblr media
Love the faded grandeur of the sitting room. The rooms are surprisingly light and airy.
Tumblr media
This kitchen. Amazing.
Tumblr media
Vintage powder under the stairs is quite spacious.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Love this room. I think that the new owner should swear that they won't gut this home.
Tumblr media
Great bath with burgundy fixtures and a clawfoot tub.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The lovely primary bedroom is like a suite with a sitting room. I like the spiral staircase.
Tumblr media
The 2nd full bath is cute. It also has a vintage tub.
Tumblr media
Bedroom #2 is very nice.
Tumblr media
This bedroom is kind of a hybrid- it has a rusty tin ceiling and an exposed stick wall.
Tumblr media
They've switched styles and I'm not sure I like that it's inconsistent. Bathroom #3 is completely renovated, even though it has a vintage tub.
Tumblr media
There's a costume studio back here.
Tumblr media
A lovely double porch and patio outside.
Tumblr media
Large heated pool and Jacuzzi.
Tumblr media
In this purple building is another suite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It has a bed/sitting room with a small fridge.
Tumblr media
Behind the folding screen is a pretty, vintage bath.
Tumblr media
The home is on a 5,610 sq. ft. lot.

Tumblr media
Maybe it's a filter on the photos, but for some reason this 1926 (reno'd in 2021) home, called "The Glen" creeps me out. It's located in Boardman, OH, has 5bds, 7ba, and the owner is offering the buyer a $5000 shopping spree for the furniture and accessories inside. (Maybe I'm not the only one who feels creeped out- it's been on the market for 238 days.) $679,500. Take a look:
Tumblr media
3 keyboards in the combination living/dining room. One looks like a harpsichord. What could you even pick here for $5000?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Formal living room.
Tumblr media
Why did they take this photo that looks like they're standing on the counter? Is it sunken? Look at the ceiling of backlit stained glass.
Tumblr media
Another keyboard. Guess these photos were taken around the holidays when it first hit the market.
Tumblr media
The stairs go all the way up.
Tumblr media
They've got nice carving and spindles.
Tumblr media
Not liking the stairwell too much. Maybe it's the portrait. I don't know if this one is an extension of the other one, but they're all together in the realty's photos.
Tumblr media
Dark ornate bath.
Tumblr media
A full size bar.
Tumblr media
The bar decorated in another style.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's also a dining room down here in the rec room.
Tumblr media
But, that's not the only bar. There's this one, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And on this side of the bar, there's an informal table & chairs. The rec room kind of resembles a furniture store showroom.
Tumblr media
Kind of an odd windowless kitchen down here.
Tumblr media
A family room.
Tumblr media
Another keyboard.
Tumblr media
A roaring fire that looks big enough to be able to walk into.
Tumblr media
This bedroom has built-ins and a fireplace. Looks like a guest room
Tumblr media
The primary bedroom has a very high bed platform. There's also space around the fireplace for a full living room.
Tumblr media
One of the other bedrooms.
Tumblr media
The patio decor reflects the style of the interior.
Tumblr media
The garden looks nice.
Tumblr media
I would call this a trench, but it's probably a water feature.
Tumblr media
Looks like room for 5 cars. The property is 1.25 acres.

Cute 1860 church conversion in Londonderry, VT has 3bds, 2ba, $430K.
Tumblr media
Little entrance foyer.
Tumblr media
Neatly done, right?
Tumblr media
Open concept main area features the original stained glass window and the kitchen is tucked into its own area.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lovely kitchen with 2-tone cabinetry and open shelving.
Tumblr media
Cozy living room corner.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before you enter the bedrooms, there's a cute little reading area in the loft.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary bedroom has a desk nook and an en-suite.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very nice and roomy. Cute vintage tub.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The secondary bedroom and bath are lovely, too.
Tumblr media
Guest room/den on the main floor.
Tumblr media
They never show the interior of the bell tower and there has to be access to it. It's a nice 6,970 sq. ft. lot.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very interesting 1977 home I posted before and it's still empty and on the market in Sekiu, WA. It's been called a "Frank Lloyd Wrong," and has 5 bds, 3ba. Apparently, it hasn't been reduced and they still want $750K for it (Zillow says it's worth $702,100 - you decide.)
Tumblr media
Rustic wood doors open to the large living room.
Tumblr media
I would imagine that the wallpaper was chosen to give it a more formal look.
Tumblr media
Stone & wood fireplace surrounded by fancy floor tiles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen is very interesting. I think the island and counters are mosaic tiles and they've also used them to frame the cabinets.
Tumblr media
The layout of this home is very confusing to figure out. This looks like a bedroom with a feature wall.
Tumblr media
Looks like a bath, unless it's another bedroom with a sink and the mirrored doors are a closet.
Tumblr media
Definitely a bathroom vanity. The mirrors help to confuse the issue.
Tumblr media
A hallway with double doors.
Tumblr media
Could be a bedroom. I don't know.
Tumblr media
By the looks of the elaborate headboard that stayed behind, this must be the primary bedroom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, this must be the primary bath. There's a lot of tile to clean in this house.
Tumblr media
Looks like a separate hot tub room.
Tumblr media
Another very large bath with an extremely unique sink. Look at the size of that counter.
Tumblr media
The glass door on the left opens to a sauna.
Tumblr media
Odd way to photograph the tub.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sunken rec room has a kitchenette and access to outside.
Tumblr media
Outdoor kitchen under the deck.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very large barn on the property.
Tumblr media
Great view of Clallam Bay.
Tumblr media
The lot is 2.89 acres. The home kind of looks like the Stealth aircraft from above.

Tumblr media
Would you spend $3.295M on a VERY rustic estate? It was built in 1810 and originally redone for singer Johnny Cash in Hendersonville, TN. Sycamore Homestead is currently the home compound of master builder Braxton Dixon. Main house, 2 guest homes, barn, tea room and smoke house reconstructed from pre-civil war log structures were relocated to this property. 6bds, 5ba.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It has sort of a broody type of appeal.
Tumblr media
Open concept main floor includes the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Look at the size of the dining table attached to the island.
Tumblr media
Kitchen's okay, but not terribly impressive. The slate floors were mined from the site.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another, less formal sitting room.
Tumblr media
Stairs to the bedrooms.
Tumblr media
Beautiful etched glass on the door to the primary bedroom.
Tumblr media
Display loft above the bed.
Tumblr media
Looks like the bath has folding doors to close off the window when you're using the toilet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This room has nice shelving plus a loft. Like the fireplace and closet doors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This room also has a nice fireplace and a built-in corner cabinet.
Tumblr media
The sky is blue, so I don't think it's the weather, but the place looks dreary.
Tumblr media
Guesthouse on the property.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a nice place. I'd rent it out.
Tumblr media
I like this one better, it's more interesting.
Tumblr media
It's smaller, but unique.
Tumblr media
The largest one is very cool.
Tumblr media
It has some cool features like a grindstone in the wall.
Tumblr media
Beautiful ancient fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lovely details.
Tumblr media
The bath looks medieval.
Tumblr media
Covered bridge leading up to the property.
Tumblr media
The property measures 5.84 acres.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had high hopes for this 1900 charmer in historic Old Louisville, KY, but the updates slightly miss the mark. 5bds, 3ba, and not bad at $475K.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Loved the entrance hall fireplace. I assume that the armoire was placed there for coats and will not convey. That's ok, I'd rather have an antique coat tree.
Tumblr media
This is nice- it was 1900 and the railings reflect a more modern look.
Tumblr media
The sitting room was modernized- large new window and artsy black & white new fireplace.
Tumblr media
Can't tell if the pocket doors are still there. The moldings are original, but I think that if the colors and furniture were different, it would look better. The inlaid floor looks great.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen footprint is essentially the same, but they skimped on the cabinetry and used metal shelves instead. They also installed a new glass door to the garden.
Tumblr media
They placed a large banquette in this side room. Don't know if they'll leave it, but I wouldn't care if they didn't.
Tumblr media
Updated bath painted red. I've seen the pattern on the curtain on HGTV a lot, but as wallpaper.
Tumblr media
Stairs have been refinished.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary bedroom is spacious, has a fireplace and is basically original, but it's open to another bedroom.
Tumblr media
Like that it has a fireplace.
Tumblr media
I think that this is supposed to be a sitting room area for the primary bedroom. There's an en-suite right there.
Tumblr media
Remodeled bath.
Tumblr media
Home office has an original fireplace.
Tumblr media
Going up to the 3rd level.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They've got beds up here, but it would be a nice family room. Love the keyhole hearth.
Tumblr media
There's another bath up here.
Tumblr media
I'm guessing that the only way to get into the basement is from the outside.
Tumblr media
Plenty of storage space, though. I think that with some color and decor, this could be a beautiful home for the price.
Tumblr media
Not much of a yard on the 3,049 sq. ft. lot, but I'm thinking there's potential for a rooftop deck.

This 1928 home in Cincinnati, OH is $5.975M, has 8bds, 10ba, but is specifically designed for rich people who like to have rolled up paper coming out their butts. Look.
Tumblr media
The rotunda room is magnificent.
Tumblr media
But, the fireplace. He's jamming a rolled paper up in there. Look at his face. WTH?
Tumblr media
Can you imagine guests entering the room from this side and seeing that paper coming out of his butt?
Tumblr media
The rest of the house is nicer in some parts than others.
Tumblr media
The sitting room is pretty bland.
Tumblr media
Very large family room.
Tumblr media
The sun room is nice.
Tumblr media
Dining room off the sun room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kitchen and pantry are pretty much original.
Tumblr media
Library/home office has a great ceiling.
Tumblr media
Large primary bedroom with terrace.
Tumblr media
Nice spacious en-suite.
Tumblr media
Gorgeous fireplace in the den.
Tumblr media
Nice enclosed patio.
Tumblr media
Interesting room with a magnificent fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The grounds are parklike.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Stunning property.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's so much to see.
Tumblr media
It's like a secret garden.
Tumblr media
Over 13 acres of gorgeous grounds.

Tumblr media
Beautiful 1900 San Francisco, CA Victorian has been completely renovated and yes, it's white. It's move-in ready and awaiting the buyer's personal touch, but it has so many magnificent features that they offset the white. 4bds, 2ba, $2,499,888.
Tumblr media
Not sure if these are actually original stained glass windows b/c the design is modern.
Tumblr media
There's just a small entrance foyer.
Tumblr media
To go directly upstairs, the door opens to another hall with original stair railings and moldings.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Or turn into the magnificent sitting room to the right. The theme of this home is gold and white. What a fireplace. And, the ceiling complements it.
Tumblr media
I've seen gorgeous fireplaces in Victorians, but never anything like this.
Tumblr media
The crown molding has tile. I don't think I've ever seen that before.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The beautiful white & gold dining room and it's jewel-like ceiling detail.
Tumblr media
The kitchen is simple to an extreme. I'm a little disappointed in it.
Tumblr media
Down the hall is a cute little desk area and a beautiful architectural feature with a view of the 2nd fl. balcony.
Tumblr media
Completely renovated bath makes the most of a small space.
Tumblr media
Open, spacious 2nd fl. landing has a wonderful sky blue ceiling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The large primary bedroom has a lovely pale blue ceiling and fireplace.
Tumblr media
Interesting bath. What is the thing that the plant is in. That's not the sink is it, b/c there doesn't appear to be one.
Tumblr media
This small room makes a nice office.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, there's a kitchenette up here, too.
Tumblr media
Cute back room and stairs to the garden.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The yard is a fairly good size and features a patio and garden.  3,438 sq. ft. lot.

This very large 7bd, 3ba home in Tamworth NSW, Australia, needed to be sold fast and was priced below market value at $499K, but all offers would be considered. That said, read the peculiar description: "Ok, we are all thinking it? kind of the elephant in the room, the elephant's name is "BLUE" but "BLUE" the elephant is just paint! Just address the elephant and you'll have a pretty spectacular home. The bones are here, invite some friends around for a BBQ put a paint brush in their hands and you will transform this home into a very Grand Residence."
Tumblr media
I'm thinkin' that the color isn't the only issue. Firstly, the grand entrance looks like the entrance to a low-end mall, and that's not just paint- it's wallpaper, too.
Tumblr media
Not lovin' the carpet color, either. Is this the living room?
Tumblr media
I think that the kitchen will have to stay blue, unless you get a professional in to prep and spray them, if they're metal, but they could be laminate, in which case, they'd definitely have to stay.
Tumblr media
Huge space must be an open concept dining and family room combo.
Tumblr media
2 bedrooms, or maybe a suite.
Tumblr media
Large 2 room bath.
Tumblr media
Think that this is the primary bedroom with a terrace and a deck. Unless it's a dining room?
Tumblr media
The rooftop deck is nice and very large.
Tumblr media
Another bedroom with a terrace.
Tumblr media
Open, sort of walk-in closet.
Tumblr media
Bathroom #2 of 3.
Tumblr media
Back of the home. How do you get to the garage?

Sadly, the lady who was building her dream hobbit house right on Lake Michigan in Rapid City, Michigan, died suddenly and the house needs a buyer who will finish it. She spared no expense using the finest materials and the home is for sale for $5M. 3bds, 3.5ba. Take a look.
Tumblr media
This is how it's supposed to look finished- stone facade, round door, elliptical windows and copper edging to make the roof stand out.
Tumblr media
Look at the shapes on the back, facing the lake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rolls of copper are already here for the roof and waiting to be installed.
Tumblr media
Look at the swoops in the roof.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hope a new owner comes along and finishes it.
Tumblr media
Look at how beautifully the interior architectural features curve.
Tumblr media
Not liking the rail, maybe it's just temporary.
Tumblr media
Closeup of the rounded front entrance.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I bet this home will be worth a lot when it's done. It's going to be unique and right on the lake.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nice big patio right on the beach. The property measures .75 acre.

Tumblr media
This is the house from HGTVs "The Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge," but as soon as the show wrapped they changed it. “The investors thought it would have higher resale value being a modern, beautiful, newly renovated home,” said the real estate agent, “They obviously weren’t going for the serious Barbie fans.” I'm a Barbie collector and there are lots of us. Someone would've bought it. Here are the befores and afters.
Tumblr media
This is what it looks like now, and priced at $2,049,995 it just sold for $1.845M. I am so disappointed. Built in 1997, the 5bd, 5ba home is located in Canyon Country, California. HGTV looked at about 50 houses and finally bought this one for $1.750M. Each designer star team did a room and the team of  Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt of “100 Day Dream Home” won. When I was looking for before pics, a lot of the sites were no longer available- they didn't want us Barbie people to see the befores, I bet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The family room before. I don't really care for the retro look.
Tumblr media
Family room after. But, I don't like this white, either.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the living room, the major features that the designers installed remain, like the two-story fireplace and the updated circular staircase. Everything else was changed to neutral gray, black & white.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The dining room. Man, they must've used an awful lot of white paint to cover up the deep colors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The ’50s kitchen was stripped of the pastels and replaced with neutrals, but the retro Big Chill appliances—refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, stove, even the hood—are still in place, b/c they're very expensive. And, the pop-up appliance lifts on the island are still in place, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ken's den wasn't changed much b/c it was cool, but they did remove the disco floor. Allison Victoria & Ty Pennington dancing on the disco floor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Looks like they turned the walk-in closet/dressing room into an office.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It already had an office, so now it has two. Wow, they left the striped ceiling intact.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The new dull bedroom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, home gym.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The realtor wanted to buy the big brush on the wall, but was told that all the props had to go back to Mattel Toys.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, finally, the pool. Mika and Brian Kleinschmidt won for their design on the pool and yard. Well, I see they kept the pink spiral stairs, yellow lifesaver and umbrella.
Tumblr media
The dog elevator went back to Mattel, too.

The entrance hall- that newel post!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The home features quality craftsmanship- butternut, walnut and oak woods adorn the entire home, floor to ceiling.
Tumblr media
Reception room with original carved fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The sitting room also has the same beautiful fireplace. I like this dark, broody room, it looks like Dark Academia.
Tumblr media
Beautiful Victorian reproduction wallpaper.
Tumblr media
Lovely rosy dining room can accommodate a large group of people.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though I usually don't like modern kitchens in Victorians, this is beautiful, and the cabinetry is very high end.
Tumblr media
Love the satin finish, the deep green/gray color, and dark counters against the white tile.
Tumblr media
Large laundry/mud room off the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Great vintage bath remodel.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very large bedroom is the primary. Double pocket doors open to a large office.

Tumblr media
This looks like such a normal house. It looks like a development I once lived in. It was built in 2007 in Calhoun, Tennessee, but there's nothing ordinary about it. 3bds, 4.5ba, $424,900.
Tumblr media
I was not expecting this. Do you see how the tile curves where it meets the wood? Interesting.
Tumblr media
This is actually the kitchen.
Tumblr media
Believe it or not, those 3 arches are the kitchen.

Check this out- they took the appliances, but if you want to go to the fridge, you go to the alcove on the left. To cook, you go to the one on the right where the stove is. Then, when it's time to load the dishwasher, that's in the middle pantry. How inconvenient is this? Running back & forth, in and out. What psycho designed this kitchen?

If you need water to cook, the sink is in here. I have never seen anything like this.

Double-sided fireplace so you can enjoy it in the kitchen and the living room. Stairs to the bedrooms are on the right.

I think that this is the primary bedroom. Is that a window above the double window?

The en-suite bath and closet.

The rooms are such odd shapes. What's up with the floor? Did they "pickle" it with white paint?
Tumblr media
This room has a large deck.

Very large bath, too. Either the new owner has to take a toothbrush to that grout or have it redone.

The hallway has a bookshelf wall.

This bedroom seems to have a dance floor. What is that white tile? A pattern? Honestly, it looks like 1st base.

Stairs to the rec room.

This is a very large space and you can walk right out to the yard.

There's a bathroom down here, also. Why do they put teeny tanks on the new toilets? They look out of proportion.

You can see from the back of the house that the ground floor is partially underground. There's a garage, but no driveway, just lawn.
Tumblr media
The patio is attached to a 2 car garage.

The lighting on the ceiling is pretty cool.

This home and the neighbors are in a clearing and this particular home has 5.3 acres of land.
