It's crazy.
Couldn't live with it quite as it is.
But you know what? That individuality v. a grey grey boring English interior - I'd pick that.

They can keep the house but I want their cleaner. Whoever manages to keep that clean without flipping and smashing it all up is a very special person.

I think it's a gift at half a million dollars, you wouldn't have to do a hing to it either Hmm

TheresSomebodyAtTheDoor · 17/03/2018 20:45

Such good value!! Grin

What is on the bathroom floor??

HMC2000 · 17/03/2018 20:47

Holy fuck. If the scary dolls and "statuary" wasn't creepy enough, the plastic sheeting on the bathroom floor is a clear sign of a serial killer. And what is that blanket/rug covered lump with the statues around it? A bed? An altar? A sacrificial stone? I'd be way too scared that the previous owner was hiding in there somewhere. Maybe one of those statues is actually a painted person waiting to strike...

mimiasovitch · 17/03/2018 20:48

It's quite a bargain really, considering the baby grand and the vintage cars are included. What if you want a second viewing on a gloomy day. Maybe the bed figures come to life. Were they even beds?

notangelinajolie · 17/03/2018 20:49

I am actually feeling very scared right now.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 17/03/2018 20:49

I want to book a night time viewing.

phlewf · 17/03/2018 20:50

I would love this house. Going through all the items to works out what the fuck they all are. I couldn’t sleep there but think of the finds. No way it doesn’t have a hidden room or safe full of treasure. I would also take the cars straight out for a drive.

Singlikemiranda · 17/03/2018 20:51

Never seen anything like it!

Girlundercover · 17/03/2018 20:51

That crochet ceiling has made me feel quite ill.

LARLARLAND · 17/03/2018 20:52

Can you imagine watching the Weeping Angels episode of Dr Who then having to go to sleep in that bedroom Grin

MrsJoshDun · 17/03/2018 20:53

I think they could double the asking price if it didn’t include all the belongings.

retirednow · 17/03/2018 20:54

I love the minimalist design, bloody horrible but I'd buy it then just flog everything off.

GaryBaldyBiscuit · 17/03/2018 20:57

Omg, what's with the sex alter in picture 26? This is a swingers club surely with all those tables downstairs?

fabulousfrumpyfeet · 17/03/2018 21:00

Erm, the beds appear to be done in the style of graves - in fact the whole thing has a bit of a grave yard feel Shock sold including contents, do you reckon they put the last statue in their dream home then thought, 'actually, maybe not'...

Creambun2 · 17/03/2018 21:00

What do you expect - it is America.

user1490607838 · 17/03/2018 21:01

That's one of the ugliest houses I have ever seen. Confused

katzensocken · 17/03/2018 21:01

Notice I didn't comment because I honestly don't know where to start!

The statues...
The weird dolls in the dining room. ONE OF US WILL SPEAK ONLY IN RIDDLES
The mirrored ceilings
The weird twin bedrooms in dark/light colour schemes? Are those beds or just boxes with a velvet throw on them?

Picture me walking down the stairs and kicking off every little ornament as I go.

Pic 41 - even the handbasin is horrified.

Eveforever · 17/03/2018 21:04

Too plain for my tastes.

LEELULUMPKIN · 17/03/2018 21:05

As a PP said, it has "Serial Killer" written all over it.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 17/03/2018 21:06

I saw this on Facebook and I thought it seemed expensive for Detroit, which is well known for having had a huge decrease in population and a lot of property that is abandoned or has been bulldozed because there is no demand. So I had a look at other houses nearby with the same website, and they ranged from $8,000 to about $60,000.

I really think the seller is a bit delusional, although perhaps the decor should have given that away. Grin

Petalflowers · 17/03/2018 21:09

Well, I wasn’t expecting that!!!
