Terrible photos listed by estate agents/realtors that are so bad they’re funny.

Posts in this community must be of property (inside or out) listed for sale which contains a terrible element. “Terrible” can refer to:
the photo itself (finger over the lens, too far away, people in the shot, bad Photoshop, etc.)
the property (weird layout, questionable plumbing, unsound structure, etc.)
the interior (carpeted bathrooms, awful taste interiors, weird mannequins/taxidermies/art, inflatable pools indoors, etc.)
the actual listing itself including unusual descriptions and unrealistic pricing. However, this isn’t a community to discuss the housing market in general. This is a comedic community - let’s keep it light.
Photos can be sourced from anywhere and be any age, but please check they haven’t already been posted.

For the discerning homebuyer/vampire who hates the idea of natural sunlight!

(looking at pictures) Huh? I don't understand. They're storing their stuff in there, what's so bad ab- ah, there's the, uh, living quarters, I see. Well okay then, it's not my style but I su- oh lawdy lawd a bunch of ~~crucifixes~~ crosses.
Edit: those are "just" crosses.
So they bought this place, but it's lack of natural sunlight kept attracting vampires, so they had to put up crucifixes everywhere to keep them away?
Minus the interior decoration this is like ideal for me.
My dream house is basically a garage with a house attached. But I guess a house inside a garage works too.
It's not terrible. It's definitely not for me, but I don't hate the living space.
Those look to be just crosses (popular with Protestants), crucifixes generally refer to a cross with ol’ J-dawg on it (popular with Catholics)
Huh. TIL.
(Thinking about it, the remnants of my Latin knowledge from school say that makes sense.)
That wall... Jesus Christ!
"Does it have an attached garage?" "Brother does it ever"
ngl I kinda like the idea of having a house inside my shed lmao. I feel like that one "Race it, Break it, Fix it, Repeat" sign really says who the target market is.
Christ that's a lot of decapitated things.
I'm assuming the inner building has its own air supply or there's just so much volume in the outer part so all the ICEs don't make everybody sleepy.
Finally, someone with a good grasp of the proper ratios when comes to house space vs garage/workshop space. Chuck in a few exterior windows and I would be fine with something like this.
I would be checking how much weight above the living space can handle though - I suspect it might not be up to suitable floor loadings for workshop usage.
With no egress windows (or windows at all) I’m surprised they are allowed to classify this as livable space..
Around me they have to be suuuuuper careful to not refer to any room lacking egress windows as “bedroom”, because it’s not up to code and thus isn’t living space. I assumed that was everywhere in the US.
The rooms do have windows… that lead to the shed. So checkmate, you northern yank.
It's weird but frankly I'd live here as long as it had high speed internet.
No people and I could probably shoot off my back porch... Living the dream.
shoot off my back porch
What did that porch ever do to you? Certainly there are more efficient was to be rid of it.
I've installed Internet once to a warehouse like this that had a full on house built inside of one corner of it. Like we totally thought it was pretty normal, since we mostly installed for farms and the highest point to install the radios was usually a barn, shed or warehouse like this. But then when we went inside to run the cable, it was like a movie set. They even had a fake lawn.
It probably was a set for video productions. Of a certain kind.
I think it's cool. This would be an outdoorsman's dream
Here I'm just thinking that'd be an amazing place to have my boardgame collection and nerd space.
For real. This would be incredible and it's significantly cheaper than the value of my little 1/8 acre starter home.
TBH to me this is very appealing. I want a lot of space that is isolated from others and protected from the elements. This picture shows all those things.
I've been sitting here trying to decide whether or not "shouse" was a typo.
"shouse located in the quaint town of Denmark, KS"
This is one of the most absurd sentences I'll read this week despite republican efforts.
I'd live there, get a few more crosses and lazy boys. Maybe some animal heads and more carpeting
The wall of crosses is weird. What is the thing Jesus would least like to see if he returned?
this stunning shouse
Is that a typo or are they pointing out that it's a house inside a shed?
Huh. That, uh, headboard has some interesting adornments, there, pardner.
What if your "guest" wants to leave early because they don't take well to the wall of crucifixes, the room of animal heads, the whole house in a barn feel or the fact that the neighbours are too far away to hear the screaming? Can't have them running off into the night missing skin now can we?
Had to go back and look. I'm sure those are just assistive.
The horizontal could have easily been covered and I can't imagine it is comfortable to have there, even when not in use.
How much would it cost to heat/cool this big, open warehouse!? Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul spoiler:

It looks like where Mike housed the lab construction crew.
Not counting the cost of the HVAC equipment, probably 3-400 per month. Electricity and natural gas are cheap in this area.
...only three hundred grand for a house which violates the f*ck out of international building code, fire code, and life safety code; nice!..
...what are the odds of even more egregious DIY violations of electricial, mechanical, and plumbing code which we can't see in casual realtor photos?..
I knew of a house like this in another state and I'm guessing this one was done for the same reason. Hiding from the tax man. Buy some land, build a barn, get it on the tax rolls as an uninhabited structure and finally build your fully functional home inside.
I'm guessing this will be a headache of a sale. The taxes on Zillow didn't make much sense.
America's obsession with garages has gone too far.
(Also I'm pretty sure that's very illegal.)
From Kansas… we call this a barndominium and they are actually pretty neat. I guarantee they’re getting plenty of sun lol.
Were you born in a barn!?
i kno it's evil to say, but when people genuinely have an american flag on their property i immediately assume it's a shidpost or at the very least ironic. but it's not, which makes it fun.
Nope. These days it's an indicator that you're almost certainly dealing with a magat. Occasionally you'll see an American flag with a pride flag or something similar below it and know that it's ironic.
Used to be that mostly only ex military or similar would fly a flag. Some folks would fly a flag from their porch for happy fireworks day or memorial day if they had family that died in a war. You almost never saw anyone with an actual flagpole in their yard. Flagpoles were for schools, government offices and such.
My family had a flag in our front yard for the first 10 years of my life, because my dad’s brother was in Afghanistan for the majority of that time. That said, we certainly wouldn’t put one up now :/ it’s been tarnished without question.

I can see the appeal. I also like sunlight though, so might have to put some windows in.
This looks like if an alien made a hamster cage for humans. The little plastic 'home' and all
I don't understand this, but I also don't hate it.
What the hell did I just watch...
The garages have taken over.
1990s: If you don't do good in school you're gonna live in a van down by the river!
2020's: I'd you take on six figures of undischargable student loan debt and work 3 jobs, you and two other couples could pitch in and buy a million dollar shed to put your van in.
