L@@K! Photos from Real Estate Listings (see remarks)

My in-laws have a disposable paper towel dispenser in their bathroom that is different from kitchen paper towel rolls, it's more like a tissue box. but same idea. I guess people worry about passing germs via regular old handtowels? Or they think guests will worry about that? The wastefulness of it makes me crazy but tbf they do also have regular towels in there.

Also the lights above that mirror are a rush of nostalgia to my childhood bathroom, esp the fact that half of them are burnt out

^

the paper towels are just gonna absorb all the aerosolized poop the first time someone forgets to put the lid down before flushing

Regular TP just doesn’t cut it for some folks

Stop what you’re doing and look at the photos of this listing on Zillow. Whenever you think something is weird, just wait. JUST. WAIT. https://t.co/1Ws6Aou0LP

The pipe organ is pretty baller

WHOA, A POPCORN MACHINE????

ok lol

That was fun. "OK, I guess that was all the wild stuff this one had –– OH SHIT."

that was like eight different homes worth of home
Two stoves flanked by two massive inset microwaves!
also an oval office and like fourteen pools and a walkthru shower i guess?

Acreage suitable for personal Helipad.

The drum kits got me

I guess i should give a warning of clowns (scroll through). https://www.facebook.com/coastalpgi/photos/pcb.2408731502578374/2408703915914466/?type=3&theater

As God as my witness, I will never understand the state of Florida.

I wonder if she's related to Wes.

lol i came to post that wappingers falls house. don't miss the two microwaves on top of one another!

found this nearby so you can live inside first reformed https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/10-Liberty-St-Chelsea-NY-12512/242648911_zpid/?

"OKAY, EVERYONE, FAMILY MEETING!"

- "Thanks, Father McGillicudy, for coming by to bless our new house."

- "Why sure, it's my – wait, what is this."

I have 2 microwaves on top of each other. I moved into a furnished flat while already owning one and didnt know what to do with them both. Luckily they are tucked away so you'd have to really snoop (or read ilx) to find out my shame.

it's ok it's not like you custom designed your kitchen to have them and then inexplicably bought two different brands

each big enough for a thanksgiving turkey
or a child
or two children really
makes you think

The owner of the Wappingers Falls house has some amazing credits (playing on Tilt!)

I'm not sure I'd ever be satisfied with just a 2/3 scale replica of the Oval Office. If you're gonna do it

that explains his drum set collection but does not explain the rest of his choices such as his bedroombathroom

Nice find, jmm. I was thinking it was a possible Gospel producer, based only on the light blue walls and fluorescent lights in the panel ceiling.

That desk in the Oval Office made me wonder if Mayor Pete would be the first to bring a standup desk in there.

When I saw the first couple of exterior shots I'm like "weird, why doesn't this mansion have a pool?" and then later I'm all ooooooooooooh OK then

Two bed, two bath... two stories?

that may be the ugliest house i've ever seen. also alan why u capitalize every single word

oh i missed the flatness of it. ok. well whatever, it's ugly.

wtf it's a wedge?

pie house is extremely cool imo, all front lawns should be turned into community gardens or compact housing

I like the idea but it does totally have that built in 2003 look.

I thought it was one of those facade houses you see on a movie set, until I saw the actual listing.

I mean, don't sneeze too hard around that thing.

I do gotta say this house was made for those awful wide-angle shots they use in the listings.

I mean, Living Room Dim. 23 X 12. I almost wonder if it was built out of spite.

I just cracked myself up imagining the sound of all of harbl’s responses to that house as delivered by a pennsyltucky renovation contractor over a shitty PTT radio

I’m easily amused

absolutely fucking deranged

there's some kind of photoshop prankery going on here right?? what IS all that stuff everywhere on the walls? how is that one attic window even cut into that wall? the angles seem all screwed up!

electrical outlets?

but............ so MANY

Almost looks like it was previously full of hospital beds or something.

Even the shower had too many knobs.

Kinda curious what the stove range must've looked like.

I've also learned tonight what is a "chain-free" real estate deal.

Not crazy about "virtual staging," but at least it's pretty easy to spot:

While I can usually deduce if something is fake, now I'm having a hard time deciding if something's real:

The TV is definitely a virtual addition. The fireplace doesn't look right. And I about decided those couches were a figment of someone's imagination until:

https://i.imgur.com/9aAlfTZ.jpg

Those couches are floating, right? Then why go through all the trouble, but leave in the personal effects on the wall? But maybe the furniture is real.

But seriously. Those televisions are weirding me out.
