I lost it when I saw that the siding continues inside. They really went for that one texture look.
Also the through-wall Air Conditioner in the shower????

I was really disappointed that in Exterior Features there was Vinyl Siding listed but it wasn't also listed on the Interior Features. I would've lost it at that.
Definitely a missed opportunity on the part of whoever made this listing lmao

What do you mean I can't install siding on the inside... It's called "siding" not "outsiding" it goes on every side!
Big cult compound vibes,
Yeah or else quiver-full/mormon family. Not that there’s really a difference between those and cults.
Me: What's wrong with siiiiiiideholyshititsinthehouse!!!!!
EDIT: The carpet did me in. I am dead. R.I.P. me.
It's also on the ceiling inside.
“Has your cult outgrown mom’s basement? Do I have the place for you!”
Holy this is a good one thanks OP
Did anyone notice that the garage interior photos show the misaligned joists about 3/4 of the way back over the truck/jimmy?
I'm not entirely sure they're actually attached to anything.
Oh, and no code inspector ever saw that wiring.
Edit: oh, and the never ending AC unit chaos. They even vent multiple units into the enclosed garage! That just kind of overheats it and returns the entropy to the house?
Favorite AC unit placement: in the shower with its own little upper tier curtain.
Second favorite cooling feature: the structural box fans in the walls.
Two things:
- Archer "Realty"
- I've seen plenty of the reverse, but this is the first time I've seen someone make their house with the Doom level editor.
At first, I thought this must be some abandoned barracks or aircraft hangar that got retrofitted into a private residence, but then I saw it was purpose built in 2004.
but then I saw it was purpose built in 2004.
Holy crap
I love the variety of chandelier's and ceiling fans all next to each other
Looks like a cult compound. Wild
@OP - This one is truly special. Thank you so much for this gift to we plebes. Wow.
When I first saw it, it was just the picture from the outside. That intrigued me enough to look a the rest of the pictures. I'm glad I did.
Wifi and cell phone reception may suck.
Also, I have doubts about the insulation. One can see it in the garage, but one can also see sunlight through the wall.
Like someone chose the cheapest option at every option, and nevet considered the overall best experience.
Who needs insulation when you have 12 air conditioners‽
Someone that doesn't want a $750 monthly electrical bill in the Arkansas summers?

So much weirdness. The box fans inserted into the walls. On Pic 38, the shower faucets are outside of the shower itself. All the ceiling fans. The "conference room" or perhaps church space. In Pic 28, using the carpet as "wallpaper," and similarly in 29, the carpet for the top surface of the half wall. Using PVC pipes as handrails on stairs or in the closets and hanger bars. And it looks like the vehicle in the garage might actually be a hearse!
Good find!
By time you reach the carpeted walls it's actually slightly jarring for there to be such an unexpected change like that. I'm pretty sure the black room was carpet as well, but it could also just be pixelation, I'm not 100% sure.
Didn't notice the other odds though, was too horrified by the walls and ceilings .. and then after the carpet, the garage.. my goodness.
shipping container core
Whoa, there must have been a blow out sell on office chairs. Who needs normal chairs when you can have an office chair?!
Also, no central heat and air, window units... In that massively hot tin box.
Also I forgot to mention the floor to wall carpeting.
Man this place has it all! What a steal! lol
edit: I totally missed it, but did anyone clock the gigantic quilt sewing machine in slide 34?
Putting aside the wtf of it all, looking at the house subjectively, it would be a decent, possibly great, starter home.
The layout isn't entirely insane, there's a ton of space inside. It looks like the framing isn't half bad.... To my untrained eye, it has good "bones". The interior design and aesthetic choices are questionable at best, even for the most "normal" looking areas, but buy a case of beer and invite your friends over for a weekend and get most of the interior ripped down, and drywall installed and painted, and you're off to a good start.
Don't get me wrong, it would be a monster task. 4000 sq ft of siding to rip out and replace? Hell. That sucks.
Replace a lot of the fixtures, mainly all the stupid ceiling fans, especially the ones so high up they won't do anything, install some forced air HVAC or at least upgrade the Air conditioner situation and you would be having a grand time living in this place.
I'd probably rip off most of the external siding too and replace that with something a bit more interesting too, but with all the money you'll save by this being so inexpensive (compared to more palatable houses that are similar in size) and you'd get yourself a pretty nice place.
That being said, as is, this place is at best, a lot of questionable choices, at worst, pure nightmare fuel.
My partner thinks it's a converted chicken coop. I can't say that they don't have a point on that one.
This explains a lot about our country
Outside it looks like a barn, inside the dining area looks like some kind of diner but with mismatched furniture.
With the themed bedrooms, I'm going with The Tackiest Whorehouse in Arkansas.
Oh wow, a walk-in closet? Singular.
“You’ll never run out of room for your victims clothes - I meant VISITORS. VISITORS clothes. I’m so sorry. Hey, what are you doing with that axe?”
That everyone uses. Yes.
It just looks like there's barely any natural light in the areas where you'd want it. The house interior, aside from everything else that's wrong with it, feels dark and cramped. A recipe for depression.
To balance things out, there’s something to laugh at wherever you look. Indoor siding. Carpeted walls. Office chairs in the “cafeteria”. The list goes on.
Babe, I got this siding for a steal. It'd be stupid to not use it inside.
It's like someone wanted to make a detailed 3D model of their house, but by the time they got to texturing they had lost interest in the project.
This looks like an AI was asked to design a house. All the basic elements are there, but nothing makes any sense.
What a horrible day to have eyes.
Property Type: Residential
Yes, that generic downstairs with the massive number of tables and no living area, and the large closet upstairs with all the costumes, yes, surely this house was only used for people to live in, uhn-hunh, yeah.
this is like fever dream house layout
Babe! You are not going to believe the DEAL I got on this siding.
The liminal backroom/vaporwave aesthetic hallway in the master bedroom is what really got me. Finally numbed to the siding, office chairs, and carpet and then the hall of mirrors comes in to seal the deal.
Does Arkansas just not have building codes? Surely they can't actually sell it like this. There is no way you can bring this monstrosity up to code for less than the cost of burning it down and building something else.
Arkansas is I think the only state that doesn't enforce habitability for rental properties. By that I mean a landlord could rent you an apartment that is unlivable, like if it had black mold, or say literally didn't even have a roof, and as a renter, there's nothing you could do about it except walk away including any money you'd already paid in rent.
Building codes also vary by state/county/local. Some of these tiny towns probably have much lower standards with building codes.
I mean it was mostly rhetorical, code is adopted at the state level and localities can only make it more strict. Arkansas is seemingly pretty up to date on their adopted codes so I have to imagine they were in 2004 as well. I'm mostly familiar with electrical and I know that shit wouldn't have passed inspection in 2004. So either codes are completely unenforced in this location or they did a bunch of modifications without a permit that should make it illegal to sell the dwelling until they get inspected.
Bonus: they're gonna have to rip that interior siding and wall carpeting off to inspect the wiring anyway.
Was this built on The Sims? Hahahhhaha
Did this housr have measles when it was younger? And then didn't get a shingles vax?
I actually kinda love the layout, but that interior siding wtf x.x
Maybe I have bad taste but I dig this one. Look at all the space! Would have to bring like 5 other people to fill up all the rooms though.
When I was a high school, I had a friend who lived in a very similar house, sans siding mania. My friends and I were there to pick up our friend, but we ended up going inside for like 10min. The house was super long and just had so many room and doors. Didn't get the grand tour or anything. As far as I knew, there were only like 5 or 6 in their family: 2 parents and 3 or 4 kids. But I think other family members lived there, too. It'd be too big for one family, and there was enough stuff that made it look like relatives lived there as well.
I remember thinking, "How do you not get lost in here?" And, "Was this always a house, or was it like a converted apartment or boarding house, like for assisted living?" I never asked because I didn't want to embarrass my friend. The rest of us lived in SFHs or duplexes. Didn't want to put them on the spot or anything.
This looks like something I built in the original Sims game when I was... idk, 9?
