Delicious carpet stains in front of the toilet.
And the sort of moldering look of the tub you just have to kind of fall in to enter.
Germs are just a theory anyway
Yo dawg give me that Blair Witch project horror look.
Interior designer: say no more fam.
This clearly needs to be torn out and replaced with thick shag carpet.
Decorated by babushka, with love.
Dude, 4 beds, 3 baths, 2,834 sq ft, for $259,900?! My stupid house is 2 bed, 2 bath 1,500 sq ft and it cost me $300,000. I don’t give a damn about that garbage bathroom, I’d buy the shit outta that house
But you’d have to live in Iowa.
angry slipknot noises
Doom dabp a doom bah diggadigga.
Bruh that’s Korn
…oh yeah… Bakersfield isn’t in Iowa? >.>
Ah good point. Nevermind then.
Not just in Iowa, but in Marshall Town, the largest small town an hour away from a metro area in central Iowa.
My thought too. Almost made me try to finally figure out where Iowa actually is.
If you do make sure to take more pictures of that tub for me.
The biggest problem with this house is that it is located in Iowa. If this place was in DC or NYC or Seattle, they’d slap some paint on it and list it for $800k
there’s lots of more affordable housing in less popular places. this is nothing new.
That’s about £206,000. That wouldn’t buy you my 2 bedroom 1 bathroom mid-terrace house here. And by wouldn’t buy I mean you’d be around £100k short. Different fucking worlds.

You’re a hero.
At first (and kind of still) I thought it was a carpeted shower. Even if it’s a bathtub, it looks more like a well with carpeted stairs leading up to it.
Maybe a ladder inside would help?
except the carpeted bathroom I like this. Fuck griege, fuck minimalism this awesome.
Do you like that crazy red room even?
Yep.
The happiest house I ever lived in had a turquoise entry with azure rose pattern carpets. A different chandellier and wallpaper in each room.
Colour is wonderful, feeling something is wonderful. Nothing should fade into the background or be replaceable. If it’s ignorable why does it exist? We have such a brief and largely boring and miserable time alive, let it be filled with colour and emotions.
So much the same. These modern gray fake hardwood floors are killing me.
Yesssss! Maximalism is beautiful and thrift-friendly!
100% agree! I would barely change most of this house - it reminds me of the houses of my relatives growing up.
🤢man, the 80s were wild… No thought of the future or consequences. Just what feels good! Lol
And cigarette smoke on every wall.
I’m getting old, man. All I see is yes, it needs some updating, but dropping 100k into it on top of the mortgage would make it pretty nice and it would still be cheaper (and nicer) than my place.
But do you look forward to just sort of falling into the tub? Lol.
Might make for a good prank somehow, but yeah, could also be considered a slight fall hazard, haha.
Wow the interior design is just awful. I think whoever buys this is going drop a lot of money getting rid of the horrific wallpaper and carpets. And why does it look like the kitchen has three different sets of cabinets?
Yeah, could use some grey paint and snap-together flooring
Just go all in and buy a T-top Trans-Am with the Phoenix painted on the hood, grow a mullet and mustache, buy VanHalen records, and those huge glasses.
Full-on live in the 80s
Isn’t that weird? Must have got some assorted cabinets at a yard sale and said fuck it and patched them all together.
Poor homeowner thinking their house is stupid popular with the number of views when really it’s just piling on to make fun of their design choices.
For that price where I live that place would be snatched up in a split second, interior be damned.
That said, most of that is cosmetic and can be cleaned up with some elbow grease. Been there and done that, I wouldn’t have a problem with buying it.
This place would need gutting down to the studs. There is not a single fixture or cabinet which is anywhere close to acceptable.
Unless the utilities are insufficient that might be a little drastic, especially if there’s no damage. Upgrading everything would be the only reason I’d want to demo it all. You could get away with new countertops, sinks, and appliances. Refacing the cabinets. Stripping the wallpaper (gawdamn do I hate doing that shit. Wallpaper is evil, especially when it’s multiple layers deep) and giving it a good prime and paint. The floors almost all need redoing.
Point being it doesn’t have to be stripped down to the bones to make it look pretty good. If you want all the modern cheap trim, core doors, and Home Cheapo tile to make it look like a new tract home for no other reason than to make it look like everything else, sure. Demo away.
Besides the bathroom i’m digging the 1970’s (ish) vibes.
Seems more late 80s/early 90s to me.
Now I know what our parents felt like when they corrected me about something I would casually identify as being from “idk, the 50’s”
Well I lived all of those eras and I think you are probably younger. :)
If you were born in the 50’s, then yeah, you are. What of it?
I don’t think you were though, because the whole “I’m older than you” is a trait of fairly young people who think it matters.
No I’m born in the 70s. Sorry I didn’t mean to be obnoxious, I was really just calling myself old.
A 4/3 on a 1/3 acre lot for $260k seems pretty great, even if it’s outdated.
I don’t think that’s actually a tub. I think it’s just a hole in the floor where the tub used to be. I’m pretty sure that’s a cut off water pipe in the back lol
Oh my that’s even better.
Anyone wanna move to Iowa with me and go halfsies on this?
I’ll pay for the whole thing just to get rid of that damn carpet in the bathroom.
You might look at these pictures and suspect these are weird people, but you can’t know that for sure. That is… until you get to the dinner table with rolling chairs. Then it’s fact.
I’m imagining trying to cut a discount rack steak and it’d be infuriating.
“Honey do you think we have too much brown?”
"Definitely. What we need is a murder carpet. And a single chair, for when we want to watch our victims bleed out.
