This was built in 2009? Srsly? Just a casual glance gave me all these 1974 tingles. Now, let’s hear from RM on why this house belongs on the front page.
This is a very odd house for sale in my neighborhood. Garage in the center of the house, two basement bedroom suites, and a giant detached garage in the back, with no paving for the driveway to the back. (And no pictures.) Lap pool combined with swimming pool in a very constrained space.
Check out the google maps for a good overhead view of the oddness. And confetti colored tile in the kitchen and baths. Whoever buys it will be really sorry if they do not remove the redwood by the front driveway, or if they pay $3,495,000.
Wait, there’s a pool? Is it in the Basements?
When did “confetti tile” become A Thing? Didn’t we ran a house recently that had the same fascinating design choice? Well, there was this.
Alas, this Quality built architect designed custom home is 441 square feet too small to merit the ginormous tag.

what’s a “quality built architect”? i’ve only met cheaply made ones from home depot.
i like me some colorful tile, but that stuff… oy!
zillow lists the house built in 1952. interesting price/tax history on zillow as well. looks like someone got a little nutty with bad flipper decor & delusions of grandure.

er, make that delusions of grandeur.

I find it hard to believe that somebody will pay that price for access to the schools when there’s no way to run more than 2 feet in the backyard without falling into the pool.
Those photos give me no sense whatsoever of the layout of the house other than it must be funky. It seems like there are rooms for the sake of having rooms. Weird.

Words fail, buildings tumble. The ground opens wide.

Wow, check out the blood red room with the couches. If you’re the sort of person for whom human interaction generates so many uncomfortable silences that you need a dedicated room to keep them in* this is the house for you!

Looks like a duplex in a poor disguise.
