QueenCat Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 You all do realize that if 80 of us put in 25k each (or 40 of us at 50k), we could buy this house together for the benefit of the Hive. The fun we would have there :lol: . 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm thinking no one here will own up to being a pimp. Does anyone on the forum refer to herself as some sort of "intimacy facilitator?" ;) Maybe Dr. Ruth? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartlikealion Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 My first thought, "where are the stair rails? I'd need stair rails." Just makes me nervous thinking about using those stairs! lol Then I find a set of rails and there's a random dresser there. What? It's like nothing is enclosed. Open floor plan overkill. Yeah pic 33 stuck out like a sore thumb to me, too. That looked more calm to me than the other pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Corin Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I've seen all those decorative features in the builders' mall where we lived in China. The hours I spent trying to find something low key when we renovated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertBlossom Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 It was owned by a former pimp who decided to get into construction after he left "the business". I'm not kidding!

Valley Girl Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Oh gosh! Maybe there's a pimp among the WTM boardies... alright, out yourself. Who is it? Who's the pimp?!? 😱🤣🤣🤣 Well...I wasn't thinking THAT. But I did have a moment where I thought it would be awful for us to be making fun of the photos only to find out later that a boardie owned the place and was trying to sell. I didn't see the post with the backstory until later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterbaby Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I was willing to give it a chance based on the exterior... as someone else said, the Ewok village structure. But I didn't really notice all those awful porthole windows until I saw them on the inside. All that glass, stone, and tile must be miserable in Indiana winters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink and Green Mom Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) So was that a hot tub in the middle of what I suppose is the living room, or was that a raised dance floor?

itsheresomewhere Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 ..... I liked the decor. I found the strange angles and surfaces oddly soothing and the colors were pretty. I like lions and rocks. Fortunately for the rest of the world, my DH has more conventional tastes than I do. :leaving: The angles and surfaces are kind of cool and soothing. It would be kind of like living a fractured fairy castle. Now why didn't they fix the crack in the walkway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertstrawberry5 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I would live in it. It would be hilarious to see the reactions of friends and family when they visit.

Guest Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 The one thing I liked was the carved door. I always thought it would be great to have a beautiful, fairy tale, carved wooden door. My OCD flared up when I got to the fireplace with 2 assymetrical lion shelves and one non-lion shelf. I also thought, "I have enough of an issue keeping bulbs burning in all the can lights at my house. Don't give me 4,768 of them in one room!" 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I talk to the trees Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I may have to duck and run for cover after saying this, but...I kind of like it. Not the furnishings or decor, but the house itself. To me, all the stone and curves have the charming geekiness of a ST-TNG set for an alien home. You know, the ones who are almost human except for a couple of latex ridges on their faces? 👽Aw, come one! Am I the only one who thinks it would be fun to live on a ST set?

kitten18 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I'm wondering about the multiple beds in the bedrooms.

Guest Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 One of the cupboard doors above the stove (#25) is on crooked!! I love love love the outside of the house, but the inside reminds me of the Winchester House in San Jose (the widow-owner had to keep building or a curse would come true and she would die). Like the owners started with something good, but then just kept adding and adding and changing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momacacia Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Maybe it's not so hard on the eyes irl. Seriously, though, that's not a house, it's a compound. And for not a bad price for that pool, stonework and square footage. That would cost about $4M+ in our Midwest area just west of Indianapolis. It's a steal, honestly.

MrsMommy Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 DH sent me a link to this house last week. I've looked at the listing at least four times now, and each time, I see different stuff. The first time through, I didn't notice the weird office furniture everywhere. And today, I'm noticing things you all have pointed out, that I didn't see before. I'm disturbed. I will admit that there are elements here and there that I like. But putting them all in one house? That's the stuff nightmares are made of! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
