A well-defended house

"Don't mind the clutter inside," says Kandi, who found this...

"You'll be enjoying the outdoor views of the missile range!"

Don't break the house! By Milton Bradley

If I lived here, I would paint it to look like it was made out of Lego. No, wait! It reminds me more of this:


To be fair (boo, hiss) there's nothing wrong with the photo. It's the house that's so... intriguing. Thank you, Matt, for finding it.

"toilet installed, not to code"

So... is one of these toilets up to code, and one not? Or is the top one "before" and the bottom one "after"?

(From the same listing as the... um... ice tea, below.)

Can I offer you a glass of ice tea?

No, really, can I? I don't know.

KEEP OUT --no, not you! You, come in.

Nothing says "Buy this house and raise your children here!" like a big KEEP OUT sign in the window.

Open door slowly

It's a toilet! No, it's a doorway! No... according to Julia, who found this listing, this door is the only way into the sun room behind the toilet.

The listing's website is tricky to navigate, so I'll just toss this in here. It's from the same house, and I think it's great. Well, so long as those are the family's kids, it's great. Otherwise it's bizarre and creepy. Either way, though, is it really a selling point?

Squawk II

And in this room, we... what? Urr.

*brain explodes*

An old (very old) friend

April found this cabin for sale. Does it seem familiar? Why, yes! It's the same cabin as seen here, but with new, interior photos!

Tin foil? Radiators? Art? Please explain.

Found by Shelby, who was so intrigued by the listing's Kaczynskiness that she drove by. And then sensibly kept driving.

Update: the listing is gone. Sorry. You'll just have to use your imagination.

Special bendy house

Well, no wonder nobody wants to buy the house. It appears to violate the known laws of physics.

Excuse me, could you please scootch down... just a little... oh, never mind.

Watching commercials. In the middle of the day. On the floor. Sigh .

Really, it's totally my house to sell, I swear

Just because the listing is clearly a photo -- TAKEN THROUGH A WINDOW -- of another photo is no reason to be suspicious.

On second thought... is this a photo of a computer monitor? And if it is, does that make more sense? No. I think not.

Half a horse is better than... no, wait, that doesn't work.

Found by Kandi, who says "I wasn't convinced this was the house for me until I saw the photo of the horse's ass!"

Included: a ghost. Well, no, just half a ghost.

Half a ghost is better than a whole ghost, right?

Found by Sarah -- thank you!

I once bought a house that was THIS BIG

Congratulations! Does the fish come with the house?

(Thanks, LadyCiani!)

"nice little place dont have time to list first come first cash gets"

"nice place no better price priced to sell fast" says the listing.

"$435,000? In Nebraska?" says Mary the Nebraskan Realtor.

"That much would get you a nice one-bedroom toolshed around here" says me.

"Candle in the Wind" was probably playing in the background

Found by Kandi. One would think that the sellers would have taken at least one more-appealing photo in the past 11 years... but no.

Toga! Toga! Toga!

Is this a frat house? Why else would there be keg cups everywhere? And is that a Christmas decoration tossed down the stairs? I am confused, frightened. (And grateful to Kim for finding it.)

How? How does this happen?

How does a tub get in this condition? Do I really want to know? Probably not.

"Pool? Vortex?" asks househunter Amanda. Me, I'm just surprised that you can still get film for Polaroid Square Shooters.
