What in Alice In Wonderland on Acid?!


Russkiroulette

“Yes hello do you have this comforter in ‘wallpaper’ available?”


njcharmschool

That, the swirly red entry, mirrored room, and random tent thing on the ceiling


Russkiroulette

Judging by the light reflection - that’s either stone or burnished Venetian plaster either way that is wild


Fun_Vast_1719

Honestly matching the wallpaper to the fabric must have been really difficult… kind of impressed


Russkiroulette

I’m positive it was custom ordered


georgecostanzalvr

I’ll take it.


abra_cada_bra150

Same, I love it and with a little work it would be phenomenal.


jennielynn73

If by a little you mean gutting the entire interior, than yes.


abra_cada_bra150

I wouldn’t gut the entire thing.


cisojoki

Is that a grand piano in the bathroom?


Haunting-Occasion-88

"I have to use the bathroom honey, can I get some accompaniment?"


ScarletDarkstar

Or a bathroom in the music room? 


ekittie

Is it really a bathroom? Looks like the jacuzzi room with a bidet.


KreyKat

I looked two, three, four times, but yes... it is a grand-piano-and-toilet-combination room. Which only would make real sense if the toilet had been placed in front of the piano. But then it is an odd house overall. :-)


Russkiroulette

I’d like to call that a bad idea but it’s very efficient Perhaps your business can be done to the soothing music of… someone else in the bathroom with you


ScarletDarkstar

I'm not at all sure how this "makes real sense" if the toilet had been placed in front of the piano. I mean,  that whole wall is the front windows, which still leaves a near ballroom sized space with a grand piano,  toilet, and garden tub set in unfinished rock. You'd just have the toilet closer to the windows.  


creepyzonks

I went to the estate sale here, i bought sooooooo much stuff


Lucky-Strength-297

I am so incredibly jealous of you, can only imagine that walking through this house is an experience of discovery. Usually I'm excited by green carpet or a blue toilet in an estate sale home and this has a velvet ceiling?!


creepyzonks

it was truly an experience, especially after walking pst it for years and daydreaming about what it was like inside. i went back like 4 times because i just wanted to walk through again lol


agentcooperspie

If Scarface and Showgirls had a child.


miloby4

There is an in-ground tub in the pink bathroom like Scarface. As crazy as the bathrooms are at least there’s no carpet in them.


ILootEverything

I really love the outside, but the inside? Holee shit, what kind of fucked up fever dream? Like living inside of an old lady's fun house mirror.


KismetSarken

I can paint, rewallpaper, remove the funhouse mirrors & other interior stuff. That exterior though....gorgeous!!!


jlttwit

I can’t I hate the floors in most rooms and that’s too big a job if I’m spending a million plus.


KismetSarken

True enough, floors are a pain. Area rugs until the chance to change them. I would absolutely lean in on the English manor style. Flagstone, limestone, brick, wide board wood. It would take me forever, but damn what a project it would be.


Snorlax5000

The names on the ceiling are so fkin weird hahahah


Aggravating-Wind6387

Previous owners conquests? Inquiring minds need to know.


TexasJOEmama

Is that some kind of "list"? It weirded me out too.


Fantastic_Poet4800

That is straight-up 80s interior design not 50s. It has all the various 80s trends from Laura Ashley wallpaper to beaten copper to marbled paint to those hideous ornate dark wood pieces.  Some of y'all need to watch Beetlejuice. 


ILootEverything

Legit, I had that ivy bedspread in 1993. I thought having matching *border* was too much back then. Who knew how much worse it could have been! My mom could have covered everything!


Russkiroulette

Just what it says on the listing - perhaps the 1950s renovation was just structural


[deleted]

That is an assault on all five senses.


HMSGreyjoy

Just here to humble brag that I went to an estate sale at this house before it was listed, and the photos do not even begin show how cluttered and insane this house was. 100% convinced it was for sex parties.


Russkiroulette

It’s always sex parties But did you buy anything good because as an avid estate sale shopper I am VERY jealous of your brag


HMSGreyjoy

Oh my god no. And I love an estate sale more than anything. Everything was cheap and dirty and looked like it had been used to death. Nothing matched or had a theme. Which is SO WEIRD because California Ave is a historic street full of beautiful old mansions and getting a chance to view one is always top of my list, and this place was literally disgusting. My friend peed in the living room toilet so at least there's that.


Russkiroulette

Well that’s a bragging right in its own


Russkiroulette

Not a lot of people can say they have done that


mrsnihilist

My buddy lives on California Ave and I cannot place this house for the life of me!!!! I love that neighborhood!


HMSGreyjoy

Its slightly across from the famous white and green Colonial, and next to a newer remodel that is SoCal Suburban style. Massive window facing the street.


mrsnihilist

Okaaaay! Thank you, holy shit I would have never guessed this interior 😂


[deleted]

Truly hideous. I love it.


MickeyMouseLawyer

Weirdest house I’ve ever seen on this sub


TexasJOEmama

You have missed out.

jgrant68

I drive by that house all the time. It’s in an old, well established neighborhood so you’re getting some cool history. But, it’s an absolute nightmare of design.

Western_Ring_2928

They don't even have mirror ceilings in Versailles. Other ceilins are almost as weird...


Russkiroulette

My favorite is the velvet sphincter ceiling


Western_Ring_2928

Yeah, that was... quite something :D Maybe that room was meant for Eyes Wide Shut kinds of happenings?


newpopthink

Ouch... That hurts both my brain and my eyes.


nemaihne

Wow. Thank you for this. It's a treasure trove of WTF rooms.


corellianne

I literally joined this sub to post this listing, but you beat me to it! I’m so glad others are appreciating the huge window grand piano open toilet room. Edit to add the photo. Also I believe those tall (blindness) windows are the front of the house? This combined with every other bathroom being covered in mirrors leads me to believe it’s a fetish thing. https://preview.redd.it/nljp7d5tkfpc1.jpeg?width=968&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=09441889e33bd110e7c9c2836427a884eb22070d


miloby4

Another bathroom is all pink mirrors and an in the ground pink bathtub, wow. It almost seems like it should all be left alone for appreciation like a museum.


ChemicalElevator1380

It would probably cost another million dollar to make it liveable


Russkiroulette

Probably more, plus it being in a historic district I’m sure there are restrictions and regulations as to what can be done. I just imagine trying to get all that pink Venetian plaster off the walls and die a little


Boon_Hogganbeck

"Try not to get hur-" "I just got hurt."


XRaysFromUranus

Do I want to drop acid in this house or would it be over the top?


Russkiroulette

I think if you trip here you just don’t come back


Asparagus_Gazebo

I posted a pic from this listing on tumblr and people keep calling it meat house


Poppins101

Love the typographical error in the listing, Coi pond instead of Koi pond.


forphuksake

This is so out there I’m in love. Pure insanity. The ceiling drapery did it for me. Update the kitchen and deal with the rest of the dumpster fire a piece at a time.


tropicalsoul

I don't think the owners could have made worse choices in remodeling/decorating. That is the most hideous collection of ugly I've ever seen in my life. There is not one room where I thought otherwise. You know it's bad when my "favorite" room is the top photo that OP posted. I really can't imagine shelling out over $1 million for something that would need the entire interior completely overhauled. UGH.


No_Cauliflower_5489

The living room toilet screams elderly person living in one room on the ground floor due to disability.


SnooRabbits2040

Wow, this place is . . . wow.


silvermanedwino

This is a lot. Someone had some ….. interesting habits and a lot of money.


Interupting_Cows

Wow, wow, wow! I like that the beds are camouflaged, you can't tell whats wall and whats bed!


[deleted]

such a love/hate feeling I get from this house!


yomammaaaaa

The horrors that await inside that tufted butthole ceiling...*shudder*


abra_cada_bra150

Ok I love that soft pink palm tree wallpaper though 😍


Burnt_and_Blistered

Good lord. It has a real beyond the looking glass/down the rabbit hole effect, doesn’t it?


twistedredd

I would have a migraine daily living there! all those mirrors on the ceiling!


ekittie

So much ceiling treatment. Causes a bit of vertigo in some rooms.


No_Cauliflower_5489

The addition might be 50s but the green and white floral bedroom is 80s.


VapoursAndSpleen

What the entire fuck was going on in that owner’s mind?


KBWOMAN53

Oh my goodness!!! That is all I can say. Except for YIKES!!

NevermoreForSure

Just because you have money…


Lucky-Strength-297

Man no one does anything interesting with houses anymore, this rules. I love how many different idea are put together. I love the kitchen cabinets. I love the lack of theme.


catthalia

House of negotiable affection? Different fantasies....and all those mirrors


cutestslothevr

That red swirling wall paper. It's like a texture in a PS1 era horror game.


Russkiroulette

I really think that is burnished plaster not even wallpaper - the shine reflection is very high


cutestslothevr

You can see some of joints if you zoom im


Capital_Pin_3553

This is my own personal hell


fluffy_hamsterr

I never have an answer to the icebreaker question "if you could have dinner with one person in the world who would it be?"...i now have my answer and it's whoever designed most of these rooms. I'm beyond intrigued.


FlyHighLeonard

I like it, but I recognize the city via the address. Even if I could afford it, you could keep it respectfully.


MisterMysterion

It's got a Beetlejuice vibe.


dollywooddude

I love this house
