They didn’t shy away from their goal, did they!

And actually, I kind of like some of it. I need a little drywall, myself, and replace most all the furniture and definitely the torch sconces (though, they are pretty cool), and the other decor. But I find the stone and wood are quite cozy.

No thank you!

Not that bad. Somebody has a discount.

my favorite detail is the high tech bathtub with LEDs and a TV above it.

While I wouldn't want to buy that house, I love that someone did all that taste-specific work so they could enjoy the house fully.

Honestly kind of a shame. While I love that they went all the way, I would not want to live there and I don't know if they will find a buyer. Hopefully rather than tear a lot of it out, it isn't the kind of redo one could go halfway with. One would either embrace most of it or have to change quite a lot. It would make a cool B&B. The Lady Godiva or whomever that is on the horse with the red blanket is my favorite touch outside of the torch lights.

Yuck. Everything that is painted black looks like a mess. Especilally the pantry door.

While I can honestly say that I'm happy that these owners created a home to surround themselves with what suites them well and makes THEM happy, but I can only imagine the difficulty trying to sell it as is!

Its appalling,

Personally I could not get past the outside. It looks very disjointed.

I have to wonder what the wall treatment is. How thick is it? Did they have to bolster the floor joists to accommodate the weight of the walls? The wood ceiling finish looks to be peeling in places. They will for sure find a buyer in this market--what the final price will be is worth watching.

arcy_gw I was wondering the same thing about all that weight! I don't think the ceiling is peeling though. if you zoom in, it looks like knots and wood grain reflecting light. I noticed a trend with real estate photography where everything is high saturation and contrast. I find it to be completely unflattering -- especially for wood tones.

Anyone remember that show Monster House? A crew'd come in and super-theme an ordinary house? This is the kind of thing they would have done. We loved watching it but always agreed, "If they knocked on our door, we'd say NO WAY."

Interested in touring this home?

No.

The walls are known by a number of names - ledgestone or split brick slate.

I know it as oyster ledgestone. We have a post and beam house and the posts that were outside at the front of the house had this oyster ledgestone on the bottom half of them and then capped in the same cedar siding as the house.

But it is a rough stone and I would not know how to keep all the little ledges from getting dusty. I used to take a hose to them.

ETA - Oyster is the colour of this one.
