It's a key requirement for any house that there should be space on the landing for your ostrich.

I like my houses:
Wacky
Are they just not going to mention the bathroom???? This is a normal shabby house and then... this.

I sincerely hope that you appreciate that I trawled through 170 photographs of this monstrosity in order to make this post. I had trouble whittling it down.

Here's one for the rail fans!
"This inventive three-bedroom house...encloses an original train carriage from the 1880s."
(The images in the listing are faded out but you can still click them.)

This house goes to show that you can't judge a book by its cover.

"Weird" is too negative of a word for this house. Unusual? Yes. A retro masterpiece? Also yes.

Maybe this house from 1450 would look slightly less haunted if it wasn't for the random creepy decor. Though who wouldn't love Queen Victoria judging you from the end of the bed, creepy dog pillows, and cardboard cutouts flanking the fireplace?

"We've found that the idea of sleeping in a box wards off most mainstream humans."

Today's weird house is a real case of "what am I even looking at?".
Thanks to @moreApi@mastodon.social for the recommendation!
They did a beautiful job with what would've been some very unusually shaped spaces.

Wow this ramshackle property is a real historic gem from (checks listing) 2012???
The interior also has quite the vibe, especially the bedroom.

This "Single Family Residence" is a converted school and I have so many questions.

This is legitimately me and not a scam!
Grand Union Walk terrace houses were built in London in 1988 and are heritage listed. I would not want to try to climb those stairs.

I thought it was a typo that this place has no actual bedroom, but it's not. This is essentially a studio apartment in NYC.

Alarmingly large kitchen lights ✅
Bed on a precarious loft ✅
Bunker garage ✅

Here's a classic, the saxophone house of Berkeley, California. The inside is surprisingly tame until you get to this weird trio of doors.

Today's house in Australia has all the patterns, and it's the first time I've seen faux fur covering the entirety of a bedroom floor.

They did their thing and they did it thoroughly, that's all I have to say.

There is a lot going on in this fixer-upper but the main features, in my view, are the wicker basket-esque toilet nook, and the curvaceous wardrobe.
https://www.domain.com.au/38-platt-street-waratah-nsw-2298-2019080247
This place has it all!
✅ Photo in the kitchen of a guy about to be stabbed
✅ Flimsy hammock above the bed... with spotlights?
✅ Disturbingly bad cable management

Please don't.
It's the gap on the left which baffles me the most.
(Listing not included because it's just a bunch of marketing photos.)
This isn't notable for its house, so much as what would happen to a house if you put it there. $849,900 USD for a loose patch of sand, anyone?

I wonder if they drink booze. No way to tell.

At least if if sinks into the sea it'll be able to roll away?

I had trouble choosing only a few photos to share here. I can see that this place is used for events, but that doesn't make the interior make sense AT ALL.

Surprisingly, the outside isn't even the most confusing part of this house.

@mike I know my audience, next... one for the Linux sysadmins

@warkolm@aus.social If I visited that house I'd assume the person was a serial killer and would exit the premises immediately.
Replying to
@stibbons@s.scintilla.social It's a great opportunity for people who legit can't afford rent otherwise... but I do have to wonder if this is actually legal.
Replying to
@Axomamma It sold for its estimated price so I think they were just WILDLY overestimating what it'd sell for previously
Replying to
@riggbeck this is extra funny given your avatar
Replying to
@BlueDot@left-bank.net It's approximately 100% more gauges than I was expecting, anyway
Replying to
@coreysnipes@hachyderm.io it looks like the current owner certainly didn't
Replying to
@ajft Also did you notice how small the wires are that are holding the lights up? Yikes.
Replying to
@carmenlisandrette Yep, Australia
Replying to
@PipGowenlock Well it certainly makes it more confusing.
Replying to
@snep@y.diskcat.com yep sorry, it's a table, I had to zoom in!
Replying to
@thatKomputerKat @prozacchiwawa It's a rendering of a house that hasn't been built yet - so yeah likely.
Replying to
@bougiewonderland yep like it says in my profile, weird is not always bad :)
Replying to
@catherineweird :ohno: :ohnobubble:
Replying to
@g Oh wow I have no idea how I missed that.
Replying to
@colorblindcowboy Hmm the link doesn't work, but that is definitely an alarming "support" beam!!
Replying to
@bougiewonderland it is, I never said otherwise
Replying to
@guigsy@mstdn.social aha, now that I zoom in I think you're right, thanks
Replying to
@dragonfrog it's completely pointless!
Replying to
@moreApi This is incredible. I will make a post about this soon - thank you for the recommendation!
