A super white space with a fireplace in every room, then suddenly you’re in a bedroom without walls (I guess they ran out of money?), then a horrible marble bathroom, then suddenly it looks like a completely different house with terracotta tiles and feature brickwork everywhere, then a toilet with like… limestone walls? A kitchenette bigger than my actual kitchen in a sitting room where none of the 6+ chairs face the TV. I dig the spoiler room though, that last fuckin toilet got me. I couldn’t imagine living in a place like that.

I think it’s brick in some areas because that’s the converted basement area. The other parts probably already had walls like that and they just painted them.

It’s a very strange house. Most of it is beautiful but not very stylistically consistent, and then boom, sarcophagus toilet.

Lots of effort to make it immaculate but the 3 different types of wood in the downstairs clash horribly, eurgh…

I think the wood would be fine if the kitchen cabinets weren’t so out of place. The cabinets are atrocious, especially with the kitchen floor. Also, painting the radiators gold might be considered a hate crime, but at least that’s a relatively easy fix.

Woah you may have spoiled it but you left the toilet for us to find.

Don’t you want the ability to see when your neighbour across the street gets home while you take a bath? The real crime is placing the toilet with it’s back to the window, so now you can’t take a shit while looking people in the eye who walks past your house.

My next snapped at the sudden shift in decor. It’s not like any of those are bad in a vacuum, but it’s a pretty bold choice to go from normal midcentury modern to rustic to creepy basement corridor back to modern again and then the egyptian tomb.

I actually really like those bathroom fixtures that look like dragons and serpents. Guilty pleasures.

But that’s in Canadian dollars, so it’s like 20% cheaper in USD.

Considering that it looks to be a very old house, that room may have been decorated in the 1920s, when Ancient Egypt was all the rage. I don’t see a problem here.

According to the write-up the house was built in 1859 but the Egyptian suite was painted by Mike Lewis, who appears to be an artist based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Looking him up I found this story from CBC when it was on the market in 2020 and it seems it was commissioned by the then-owner, a historian and filmmaker.

Terrible Estate Agent Photos

!badrealestate@feddit.uk

Create post

Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

Posting guidelines.

Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:

  • the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)

  • the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)

  • the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)

  • the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.

  • Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.

  • Censor any names/contact details of private individuals.

  • Mark the post NSFW if it includes nudity or sensitive content

Rules.

This community follows the rules of the feddit.uk instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:

  • Be civil, remember the human.
  • No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name-calling.
  • Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
  • Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
  • Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
  • Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
  • No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
  • No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.
