Overall a nice house with some lovely scenic views. But someone was very chandelier-happy.

Also, white carpet in the red-sanded Arizona desert? Possibly not the best plan.

Even the bathroom- chandelier.

Jeez. At first glance I thought that first pic was an indoor swimming pool.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 22 points 3 weeks ago

There's even fish stickers on the shower door lol

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So what is the pic showing then, just a polished blue floor in some living room-type area?

Why would you paint the sky on the ceiling and then add chandeliers?! It feels like a fallout bunker.

Paris, TX was not enough so they made their own Versailles, AZ

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I find a cloudy look in them.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 37 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

This seems like a fake house that's just for hosting parties lol like I can't imagine someone actually living in such a ridiculous space

[–] fishpen0@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

100% a swinger house. I’d bet there’s an absurd number of bathrooms as well.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 41 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

They probably shouldn't swing. Those chandeliers probably won't hold their weight.

I'll be here all week, folks! Try the fish!

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

6 beds, 8 baths on a few acres of land for not-too-much privacy, lots of off street parking. Swinger house seems pretty plausible. Whomever owned it definitely entertained parties of some sort quite a bit there

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Gotta check for Pampas Grass, that's the hallmark.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 34 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

And they're ALL DIFFERENT

Seriously, how did they find SO MANY completely different chandeliers?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

It's like it's a chandelier display store for very elite customers.

[–] CptEnder@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Feels like an episode of Interdemensional TV from Rick and Morty

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

I think whether it was intentionally one or not, it's become one

[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

It's got some "backrooms" / liminal space vibes.

[–] LEONHART 8 points 3 weeks ago

My first thought. Definite Poolrooms energy.

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

It's like a "cheerful" house of leaves

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Things like this remind me that rich people have the absolute worst fucking taste imaginable. Assuming they have any taste beyond "maximally expensive" like they're pre-modern nobility.

The carpet in the bathroom is the bigger problem

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have encountered that so many times in otherwise normal houses. I don't get it. Toilets can overflow, showers and sinks can leak. Why would you do that?

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Some people really enjoy a slowly rotting subfloor?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I mean I don't, but...

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

My house had carpet when I moved in. Fuck - and I cannot stress this enough - that noise.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ours too. Most of it has been replaced with laminate flooring. Nice to be able to clean a floor with a broom and you can deal with most stains with a mop.

[–] Emperor@feddit.uk 15 points 3 weeks ago

The location is magnificent but everything about the house is naff - not just the chandeliers but the curtains, the kitchen, the balconies, the archways, even the outdoor area. The temptation would be to knock it all down and put in something more open to take advantage of the vistas.

[–] uservoid1@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

With all the chandeliers you sure to have at least one not working in a given time.

Cozy little place, I do hope 27 parking spaces would be enough. The scenery is outstanding.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

It feels more like a community center than a home

[–] BitsAndBites@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

The cover photo looks like an AI generated image since it doesn't understand the appropriate number of light fixtures.

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

they should make counterstrike levels out of bad real estate like this

[–] skye@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

i think someone just took counterstrike levels and made bad real estate out of them

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

They bought one and Amazon fucked up and sent a pallet.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

Sedona, AZ. Say no more.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Loving the clouds painted on the ceiling. Did a five year old design this house?

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

No way, this is peak Boomer, guaranteed.

[–] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I guess when you have double-height rooms, you have to use that space for something.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

In this case, they went with weather formation

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 8 points 3 weeks ago

I thought it was filled with water from a hurricane at first glance

[–] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

The thumbnail made it look like a pool with chandeliers, I'm not sure this is better.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Does it come with a roomba drone to dust all those chandeliers?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That carpet is filthy. They didn't even vacuum it.

[–] Longing@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not even sure if that's carpet.

[–] kamiheku@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

The first pic makes me think of Eastern Europe / just straight up Russia

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 5 points 3 weeks ago

is this place flooded?

[–] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 4 points 3 weeks ago

Is the first pic supposed to be a garage?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well, if you have high ceiling rooms, a chandelier looks better than some flat lights somewhere up there.
