It looks like a regular home from the outside... but $4.8M pad is ridiculed for 'ugly' interiors
Social media users have mercilessly mocked a multi-million dollar mansion in California for its 'ugly' design. The sprawling 9,200-square-foot property in Friant, California has been listed for a whopping $4,750,000. The property, located at 22144 Oak Glen Lane in Friant's 93626 zip code, was described by Zillow Gone Wild as being in 'arguably the mansion capital of the world.' 'Here's a nice mansion in Friant, California, which is arguably the mansion capital of the world. It's in 93626, which is 3416 more than 90210. Enjoy,' the caption states. The estate appears relatively normal from the outside but inside lies a maximalist design with myriad textures and patterns. The luxurious property is located in the prestigious Brighton Crest community. It includes seven bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. There are panoramic views of Millerton Lake and surrounding hills. According to the listing by Christopher Byrnes of Landmark Properties, the luxury estate features multiple kitchens, wine cellars, game and media rooms. The property, located at 22144 Oak Glen Lane in Friant's 93626 zip code, was described by Zillow Gone Wild as being in 'arguably the mansion capital of the world' It also has expansive windows designed to take in the scenery and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Outside, potential buyers will find a resort-style yard with an infinity pool, swim-up bar, outdoor kitchens, enclosed cabana and newly built guest house. The property also comes equipped with smart home upgrades. It has Control4 and integration for intuitive voice control of lighting, shades, climate, security and A/V systems. 'A private elevator, spacious suites, and multi-generational living options make this estate as functional as it is stunning,' the listing writes. But all these impressive amenities could not distract Instagram users when the property was featured on Zillow Gone Wild. Followers immediately started roasting the home's interior design choices, with one commenter joking: 'Did this person make their fortune selling texture?' Others likened the interior design to an Olive Garden restaurant or a Romano's Macaroni Grill. The criticism continued with comments pouring in about the home's chaotic aesthetic with one calling it a 'texture overload.' One commenter wrote: 'This entire home is a Magic Eye puzzle book.' Another wrote: 'I'm begging for a solid. I can't tell where anything starts or stops. The pool is the only solid, and it's flipping water.' The home's furniture and design choices also were slammed with one commenter asking: 'How many Muppets gave their lives for that living room furniture?' Another simply described the entire property as 'If a house were a migraine...' 'Was there a discount on hexagonal marble tile at mansions 'r' us?' another user joked. But some fans defended the house, admiring its bold design.

Columbus to review 16-story student housing complex at corner of Lane and High
UNIVERSITY DISTRICT, Ohio (WCMH) — The corner of North High Street and Lane Avenue could look different under a new 16-story student housing proposal. On Feb. 28, Georgia-based Landmark Properties submitted a plan for the property at 2160 N. High St. for review by the University Impact District Review Board. According to plans submitted to the city, the 16-story high-rise would create 72 parking spots for an undisclosed number of housing units, including some designated for affordable housing options. Historic central Ohio church listed for $2.4 million Last July, the city updated zoning laws affecting the site, allowing Lane Avenue, High Street and Broad Street buildings to be taller than was previously permitted. These zoning updates — the first in 70 years — cleared the way for Landmark's high-rise plan. The site falls under the new Urban Core zoning, which allows 12-story buildings with up to four additional stories if it provides sufficient affordable housing options. Landmark Properties did not specify how many affordable housing units it would provide, but the four-story addition variance requires 20%-30% of units to be low-income qualified housing. Located across the street from several dormitories for Ohio State University, the site would be centrally located for students. Currently, the spot hosts a CVS Pharmacy, which developers said would be torn down. Conceptual plans show the CVS would be rebuilt into the building's first floor. The plans and renderings, done by BBCO, show various amenities around the residential units. Floor 13 appears to have a large open-air balcony in the building's center for residential use. Renderings also label the window-heavy development 'The Standard.' The building is not scheduled for review at this month's University Impact District Review Board meeting, which will take place on Thursday. However, it will likely go before the board in the coming months for approval. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Offices near USC stadium owned for decades by The State eyed for apartments. What we know
The ball is rolling on potential new housing at the Shop Road site previously owned for decades by The State newspaper. The longtime industrial site, where a massive printing press once whirred to life each day to print copies of the paper, has been empty since The State staff moved from that building in 2020. Now, the nearly 23-acre property about a half mile from Williams-Brice Stadium could soon be repurposed. The Richland County Planning Commission moved forward with a recommendation Monday to rezone the site, currently zoned for industrial uses, to allow for high density multi-family housing projects, like a large apartment building. The exact details of the new housing project were not immediately available Monday. The State has contacted the project developer Landmark Properties for more information. The Shop Road site would be able to have 402 housing units under the new zoning, according to an estimate from the county. The development is being proposed at the same time the University of South Carolina is looking to build something new and exciting on more than 800 acres nearby along the Congaree Riverfront. Jared Munneke with the development company Landmark Properties spoke on behalf of the zoning change Monday. He specifically noted how the new housing would align with USC's vision for the future of the stadium district, which the university hopes to have a hand in shifting from its industrial roots into a vibrant activity center. Several residents Monday told the Planning Commission that if it is going to allow more housing along Shop Road, the conditions of that and other area roads need to be improved, too. 'We've got a disaster in the making there,' said one resident, speaking of watching students walking, jogging or biking down the shoulder of Shop Road. The area around Williams-Brice Stadium is notorious for lacking sidewalks. New sidewalks around the stadium are on the horizon, but residents Monday say the corridor as a whole needs to be much safer. The former The State building would be the first parcel in that block of Shop Road allowed to have housing. The majority of the other parcels on that block remain zoned for 'heavy industrial' use. Despite this, multiple commissioners said the county's long-term development plans for envision the area becoming more mixed-use. Other local projects led by the developer Landmark Properties include the off-campus student housing projects Saga and The Standard, a high rise completed in 2023 on Assembly Street in downtown Columbia. Richland County Council must still approve the Planning Commission's decision before the zoning change is final. It is expected take up the first of three required votes on the matter March 25.
