Looks like an unimaginative gym teacher's dream home.

What's up with this design on a dime scarf hanging?

8/1/2009 10:14:29 AM

so is that what Lottery Money buys these days?

8/1/2009 10:22:54 AM

while a bit tacky, that's quite a bit of house for "only" $1e6. Its all about location, I suppose.

8/1/2009 10:47:58 AM

KOBE SUCKS, I WOULD HAVE MADE THAT SHOT

8/1/2009 11:18:52 AM

I'm assuming you're not buying the furniture so I don't understand why everyone is so hung up on it.

8/1/2009 12:54:29 PM

that's a lot of house for $1.3M, imo.

8/1/2009 2:20:31 PM

that's a lot of ugly/bad design for 1.3

8/1/2009 2:29:31 PM

i like it. reminds me of work. my favorite place on earth.

8/1/2009 3:04:54 PM

just goes to show that money can't buy taste

8/1/2009 3:21:13 PM

or goes to show that not everyone likes what you like.

8/1/2009 3:21:43 PM

do YOU like that house?

8/1/2009 3:32:09 PM

I dont mind it. It does look like it would feel like an office building. Have YOU ever been inside of it?

8/1/2009 4:27:34 PM

What a tacky mess. It looks like a "new money" type wanted something large, but since they had never been exposed to anything nice, they didn't know what the hell they were doing.

8/1/2009 5:05:40 PM

Fancy gym bathroom

8/1/2009 5:11:51 PM

Can't use the shower by the door unless you're the last one in and first one out.

agreed

I love those oriental type rugs with the Carmichael-esque bathroom.

8/1/2009 7:47:18 PM

That bathroom looks like you could run a pet grooming business out of it. Just put a leash post at each station, put your pooch up on the red countertops, and start trimming.

they filmed miami vice in wilson?

8/1/2009 8:18:44 PM

This house is LOLtastic. Who builds a fucking 10,000 sq foot house and makes the inside look like an over-glorified trailer?

Haha, I agree. And the truly sad thing is...you could drive like 5-10 miles from this house and get 500+ acres for the amount they want.

And in 10 to 20 years when you get tired of living in Wilson the land will be worth a lot more than that house too. You can always build tacky, but you can't make more land. Having a modest house on a ton of land won't impress your friends like this thing though. Assuming they are impressed by green carpet, don't mind the lack of pool or privacy.

i wouldnt turn it down if someone gave it to me
but i cant justify all that space

8/2/2009 3:39:03 PM

the finishes aren't too terrible for something built in 1995.

finished correctly, that house should be worth $250 to $300/sf and that is about what it would cost (total) to bring it into the 21st century. (approx. $100/sf purchase + $150 to $200/sf renovation)

i would say that it is a bargain; a fixer-upper if you will. It is not something I would want, but surely they will eventually find the right buyer.

P.S. People that buy $1.3M homes tend to gut and redo the finishes to their likings anyway. Most of the time one is buying the structure, not the decor.

P.P.S. People that buy $1.3M homes in this economy do not finance them either.

looks like a church on the outside

i don't think the kitchen is too bad...

8/3/2009 12:21:52 PM

the drawer and cabinet handles and pulls look like they're straight out of a chemistry lab

"9/10/03 - Keith & Buffie Lloyd purchase the house for $1,070,000. "

Does that not explain EVERYTHING about the decor? LOL

8/5/2009 4:50:58 PM

Buffie is not as bad as Pussie

8/5/2009 9:51:13 PM

Words cannot express how truly ugly this house is.

The majority of it looks like it came from Office Depot or the Chippendale look-alike section.

And that bathroom...who puts red counters as the focal point?

I could have bought a farm and put down a modest house for that much money.

8/5/2009 10:19:34 PM

haha man I'm sad I missed this thread, now the listing is gone

I laugh every time I drive by those houses. It looks like the construction crew got lost, said fuck it, and just built the houses next to that pond.
