It’s bad from the outside, but the inside is so much worse. And it gets worse the more you look at it. So many details that are just so awful. Living in this “house” is probably miserable.
That. Fucking. Wiring.
This is a fire waiting to happen, I can’t imagine what’s in the walls.
Probably more siding. Inside siding. Insiding. In hiding.
You don’t have to, did you see one of the last pictures? It’s completely unfinished and you can see the wiring. Romex running everywhere. x. x
While I’d rather seen neat conduit, the reality is that Romex is permissible in a lot of states. Romex is a real pain in the ass if you ever need to run new wiring though.
There’s people in them walls.
You sure this isn’t a beginner Satisfactory project?
Legit the worst house I’ve seen on this community
What an honor, thank you!
This is like living in a fire station or a movie set
Somebody got a smoking deal on a ridiculous quantity of siding.
With all those hard surfaces and open spaces, the echoes in this place must be unreal.
And office chairs!
The current owner is the only guy in North America to not have a podcast.
But, suspiciously, has 25 people comfortably living with him.
That’s why they carpeted the bedroom walls.
I love the variety of chandelier’s and ceiling fans all next to each other
For the cult on a budget!
Few windows for outsiders to look in. Many, many cheap tables to eat at.
Maybe just polygamy?
See, this was one of my first thoughts, either some kind of cult-like-thing, or it’s one of those weird multigenerational homes where four+ generations of people lived, and the parents rooms are close enough to eachother that they can hear when babies are being made.
When someone dies, everyone “upgrades” to their parents living space, and the normal-ish bedrooms, aka “nice” bedrooms (compared to the other bedrooms in this horror show), are reserved for the oldest family members.
The question I have, aside from… You know, everything, is… How many ceiling fans do you really need? Jesus.
Actually, when someone dies, they get propped up in the constant funeral home that can be seen starting at picture 47 or 48, and only then can the ritual begin.
That must be why there’s a hearse in the garage.
So much fucking cladding. I recon the builder gets it cheap
The Great Plastic Barn…
Holy this is a good one thanks OP
I like the siding. Both the outsiding and the insiding.
The liminal backroom/vaporwave aesthetic hallway in the master bedroom is what really got me. Finally numbed to the siding, office chairs, and carpet and then the hall of mirrors comes in to seal the deal.
Does Arkansas just not have building codes? Surely they can’t actually sell it like this. There is no way you can bring this monstrosity up to code for less than the cost of burning it down and building something else.
Doesn’t even say bedroom. It’s just: entry way to master.
Like in Manos.
Arkansas is I think the only state that doesn’t enforce habitability for rental properties. By that I mean a landlord could rent you an apartment that is unlivable, like if it had black mold, or say literally didn’t even have a roof, and as a renter, there’s nothing you could do about it except walk away including any money you’d already paid in rent.
Building codes also vary by state/county/local. Some of these tiny towns probably have much lower standards with building codes.
I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I’m mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn’t have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.
Bonus: they’re gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.
Putting aside the wtf of it all, looking at the house subjectively, it would be a decent, possibly great, starter home.
The layout isn’t entirely insane, there’s a ton of space inside. It looks like the framing isn’t half bad… To my untrained eye, it has good “bones”. The interior design and aesthetic choices are questionable at best, even for the most “normal” looking areas, but buy a case of beer and invite your friends over for a weekend and get most of the interior ripped down, and drywall installed and painted, and you’re off to a good start.
Don’t get me wrong, it would be a monster task. 4000 sq ft of siding to rip out and replace? Hell. That sucks.
Replace a lot of the fixtures, mainly all the stupid ceiling fans, especially the ones so high up they won’t do anything, install some forced air HVAC or at least upgrade the Air conditioner situation and you would be having a grand time living in this place.
I’d probably rip off most of the external siding too and replace that with something a bit more interesting too, but with all the money you’ll save by this being so inexpensive (compared to more palatable houses that are similar in size) and you’d get yourself a pretty nice place.
That being said, as is, this place is at best, a lot of questionable choices, at worst, pure nightmare fuel.
My partner thinks it’s a converted chicken coop. I can’t say that they don’t have a point on that one.
There’s no room for insulation above the ceiling, no place to run ducts for central HVAC, and the rooms above the 2,000 sq ft garage will be extra hard to keep thermally regulated. This house is super expensive to keep comfortable, and I would bet the window AC units are not up to the task of regulating indoor humidity and the whole structure is a moldy biohazard.
I agree with your partner. This structure looks like it was originally designed for agricultural use. Maps show there’s a farmers field a few lots up the road.
Holy hell, this entire interior looks like it could be hosed down, time after time, because it’s made for repeated indoctrination/orgy/murder of cults with easy cleanup. Unbelievable price, though…
That’s what the room upstairs with black walls and red furniture is for.
Jesus Christ
A conference table, wtf
I counted 24 office chairs. TWENTY FOUR. Why in the conference hell. lol
