1. Holy crap, that's worse than Graceland!

Wonder what it would cost to gut the place and completely redecorate?

[Ziggysmom]

2. Who lived there? The room with the grand piano hurts my eyes! GAH!

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. LOL, not my style. Hard Pass.

[YDogg]

4. "Only shown on sunny days."

What sorcery is this?

6. is there a reason we are looking at this house?

[A HERETIC I AM]

15. For the same reason you look at a car crash.

Now….pay Attention to the vehicle in front of you and STAND ON IT when he does!

Stop holding everyone up, dammit!

[Turbineguy]

7. Needs more gold plating

for trump to want it. But it's grotesque enough for one of his plebeian rubes.

[Binkie The Clown]

8. Horrifying! nt

[Srkdqltr]

9. On the east side of course. LOL

11. What a fugly hodgepodge.

That “coulda been a contendah” on HGTV’s recent Ugliest House In America.

[Sherman A1]

12. Well, that certainly takes garish

to an art form all it's own.......................

[sdfernando]

13. I would say this place is tacky

but that would be an insult to tackiness.

[rsdsharp]

14. Descending that staircase would scare the hell out of me.

Don’t most realtors tell you to take down your personal stuff so the potential buyers can envision there own things in the house?

The only thing I’d want to see in there is a bomb.

[Texasgal]

16. Oh MYYYYYY!

I have no words...

[Kali]

17. might not be too bad

after the yard sale and dump run. could probably generate some cash on most of the exterior wrought iron at the scrap yard too.

[LuckyCharms]

18. 1) Take all of that decorative shit out of there and sell it

2) Change out all of the windows

3) Tear out that little white fence

4) Do some interior painting (subtle neutrals)

and that would be a gorgeous home.

EDIT:

5) Get that brown paneling out and replace with drywall

6) Repaint ceiling in big room with flat white ceiling paint, not semi-gloss

7) Replace carpets

8) replace that one acid trip ceiling

9) Sell all of the furniture, and use whatever you get for the furniture and decorations to apply toward the remodeling costs.

10) Reface kitchen cabinets with dark brown hard maple doors and face frames (pre-finished 1/4 inch thick maple refacers, not veneer), add coordinating metal hardware (satin nickle, simple design).

11) replace black and white tiles with luxury vinyl planks.

I would buy that home.
