Quirky house for sale has features that are... off. ‘I'm genuinely perplexed'
'In a sea of sameness, it takes real courage to break the mold,' the listing of a house for sale in Cambridge, Massachusetts, starts with — and while that's correct, there may be a tad too much courage going on with its architecture.
'That's this Riverside home in a nutshell—bold, and unapologetically different—and it's a creative blank canvas, freshly painted and ready for your style to shine!' the listing on Zillow continues.
While the exterior of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,366-square-foot home might be … a choice (looking at you, crooked windows) … the inside is a chic, alabaster dream (with, what seems to be, a floating end table?) throughout.
It's listed for $1.195 million.
'Inside, you'll discover five spacious rooms spread across three levels. On the first floor, you'll find a generous bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, along with a spacious living room featuring French doors that open to the patio,' the listing says.
'The second floor boasts vaulted ceilings, an open-concept living/dining/kitchen area, and a large bedroom with a charming south-facing balcony. The third floor offers endless possibilities!'
The home was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that highlights unique house listings all over the country, and people were … well … impressed?
'This home proves that you can just do things,' the page's creator said.
'I always wanted windows that you can't cover in any way. So great,' another joked.
'It's both too much and not enough,' someone said. 'Like if they were going quirky then they needed to really commit to it.'
'Me in tech class learning how to use google sketch up,' one person commented.
'What in the Dr Seuss architectural shenanigans is going on here?' another asked.
'I'm genuinely perplexed,' someone expressed.
'Love some of this, and not others. But I really enjoy the creativity,' one person noted.
