Some bold choices there.

I could get behind those light panels in the kitchen, though!

The red carpet throughout (even in the bathroom) is all I can see.

Not exactly restful is it ? I am willing to bet they paid someone a lot of money to do the interior design but - oh my

They baked a co-ordinating cake specially! 🎂

Unfortunately that didn't save it from being a horrendous eyesore of a house. I wouldn't pay 50p for it never mind 500k+.

I can forgive carpet in a bathroom more easily than in a kitchen!!

Well some one likes red!

I really like it. Would redecorate it throughout as it looks like previous owner shared my mothers decorating taste.

my MIL has carpeting in her bathroom.

but god it’s so cheap!

There’s even red carpet in the boiler room!

Presumably they take the furniture with them and re-carpeting should be easy enough.
So much space for the money!!

You should see the location - it's not so cheap when you see where it is! My friend sent me this listing with the word "REDRUM" and I laughed.

The doll on the chair would have me running for the hills 😱

Why is the carpet red?

135 photos? Life's too short.

An 80s travesty.

I need to understand the life story of the family who lived there

What the hell is closing costs?that’s expensive!

I don't see any FENCES! Where is my boundary? Nope, too open to property disputes (lol).

Most houses in the US are big aren't they? Well the country is huge I suppose.

Agent fees are 6% then there are costs for transferring the title incl state tax. Closing costs are why we’ll be stuck in our house, just too big a chunk of money to lose for the sake of a bit more living space. Not worth it for us

Wow.

i can usually look beyond decor, but this is so overpowering.

lost count of the number of dining tables there were.

What an absurd question.

It's red because...well...that's the colour it is.

Presumably the owners chose a red carpet.

That’s not 80s, I think it’s 50s and actually really well preserved. Not my taste at all, but the house has a good layout and looks well cared for. Basically looks like my grandma’s house on steroids, if she had more money and really, really loved red.

I can imagine the Property Brothers doing a "full reno".

Closing costs are standard. You have to pay the agent, plus the fees for all the paperwork, plus the sales tax. That plus the ability to secure a 30 year mortgage with a fixed interest rate means people need a good reason to move.

It was built in 1990? I was having a hard time dating the decor, but this was a surprise. I admire their commitment to what they like. I liked the ceiling lamps in front of the green curtain.

It makes me think of a dictators palace, maybe a small holiday home for someone like Sadam Hussain for example.
