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.

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

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

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

In this case, they went with weather formation

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

No way, this is peak Boomer, guaranteed.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Even pre modern nobility had ideas like gothic architecture vs Gregorian or something

The carpet in the bathroom is the bigger problem

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 hours 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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Some people really enjoy a slowly rotting subfloor?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I mean I don't, but...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 19 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 104 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

I'm guessing it's supposed to be a... dance hall? Or maybe a big dining room or something? But yeah. I think it's just a polished floor.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

There's even fish stickers on the shower door lol

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

is this place flooded?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

I find a cloudy look in them.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

It feels more like a community center than a home

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago

Sedona, AZ. Say no more.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago (2 children)

And they're ALL DIFFERENT

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Feels like an episode of Interdemensional TV from Rick and Morty

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

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day 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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

My first thought. Definite Poolrooms energy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It's like a "cheerful" house of leaves

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

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