    “Sure, the outside is a little weird, but does it really need to be in this community?”

    Picture 5: “Oh, found the bad one”

    Picture 31: “Holy shit!”

    Picture #6. If you remember the original DOOM video game, it’s those rooms where John Romero was going for that weird Lovecraftian vibe where you’re horrifyingly inside the flesh and organs of a vast living entity, but the textures don’t quite line up correctly.

    Well mom, remember my dream of owning a big house on a hill and how I used to wish for a living room with a plaster lion in it from Mexico and how I always wanted a large twenty four seat dining table in a dining room with original oil paintings by Michelangelo and Rembrandt and remember how I always wanted a rotating bed with pink chiffon and zebra stripes and remember how I used to chit chat with dad about always wanting a bathtub shaped like a clam and an office with orange and white stripes and remember how much I wanted an all red billiard room with a giant stuffed camel and how I wanted a disco room with my own disco dancers and a party room with fancy friends and remember how much I wanted a big backyard with Grecian statues, s-shaped hedges and three swimming pools? Well, I got that too.

    I’d probably begin with a crowbar, but if some of the stuff on the walls is too firmly attached, I’d move up to a kango hammer.

    I’d lose the flesh-colored marble, the animal heads, and anywhere with wallpaper on the ceiling needs that ripped down. Otherwise dope house.

    This looks terrible, but I bet it wouldn’t take much work to undo most of it. I could work with this place

      I saw water damage in one of the photos. It’s a huge property with odd design choices and dated at that - experience tells me that form over function has been the owners’ focus, and maintenance - very low on the list. Especially if it’s been vacant for some time. I’d put money on the bones not being as good as they might seem. Would be an absolute money-pit to renovate.
