Someone Found This $159,900 House Listing That Looks Modest At First But Gets Weird Fast When You Look Inside
Let’s say that you’re looking to buy a house. What’s the first thing that you do? You go on, Google, of course! You start searching, but your dream house looks like it’s out of your price range, so you lower your standards until you start finding hidden gems for low prices. But we doubt you’ve ever seen a weird house like this before.
Twitter user Frazierapproves (aka Middle-Aged Rust Belt Voter) unearthed what he calls the greatest house listing of all time in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It looks completely normal from the outside. But once you go inside, it’s a different story. It keeps getting weirder and weirder with every step that you take. You start feeling like Alice going to Wonderland for the first time. Or a time-traveling wizard.
It literally looks like this house design has a bit of everything for every taste. Either that or it’s stuck in some weird time warp. The super-gaudy funhouse can be bought for just 159.9k dollars. Scroll down for Bored Panda’s interview with Frazierapproves.
One Twitter user shared a very strange house listing. It looks normal from the outside…

“I live in Pittsburgh and came across this ugly house listing via my local subreddit,” Frazierapproves told Bored Panda about how he found the listing. “The front exterior photo is completely unremarkable. It’s very typical of the 1960s Suburban Pittsburgh housing vernacular…, particularly in the eastern suburbs. That’s the kind of home they built for middle-class families in the last days of steel. The first surprise came with the photos of the backyard. Not only is the yard larger than one would suspect, but swimming pools are exceedingly rare in this region, due to the hilly topography and small window of summer-like temperatures.”
According to the Twitter user, things start to get really weird with the very first interior design photo. “The first thing you see is the vaulted ceiling in spiral staircase in what, by all external appearances was a single floor ranch house. The living room and library appear to have some light medieval theming with a large outer space mural, which is the first indication that we are dealing with something truly special here,” he said.
“Each successive photo reveals another genre-themed room idea, with an increasing level of commitment. It’s like a miniature amusement park or a home-sized movie studio. It is simply the most amazing home design I have ever seen.”
Here’s a list of everything that you can find inside the house
Frazierapproves believes that the owner of the house is “clearly” a fan of genre fiction. “But, more importantly, they are the kind of person who recognizes that a home should be a reflection of one’s own personality. I’ve been in my house for years, and some of the room designs still bear the last owner’s paint on the walls. It’s safe. It’s ‘tasteful.’ This person clearly made the house theirs, and that’s something that all of us who are fortunate enough to own their own homes, should aspire to.”
The Twitter user admitted that he’s not really in the market for a new home and is more of a city person. “So that house isn’t for me, but if I had the money, I would scoop it up to use as a retreat/party/clubhouse, without changing a thing… aside from tossing the creepy robot.”
The interior is beyond weird!

The Twitter user’s post got a lot of attention online with 92k likes and 19.5k retweets. A lot of people joked that the house is listed for very little when you consider that it has a 25th-century ‘spaceship’ inside.
However, that’s far from the only thing that you will find when you walk through the door. The former ranch that was converted into a two-story house also has a 13th-century castle living room, an elevated library that you can reach by going up a ladder, and a talking space alien that greets you.
But that’s not all! There’s also a galley kitchen and you can reach the laundry room and the workshop by going through a hatch. The house also has a spiral staircase that leads up to the bedrooms, the den area, and a walkway.
One of the bedrooms is tropical island-themed (with an indoor beach no less) while another is a ‘70s hippie crash pad with a water bed. Oh yeah, and the back yard comes with a pool and a patio. Are we the only ones who think that the people living in this house would feel like they have their very own magical kingdom?

Share on FacebookWhat a wacky house! I never expected it to be so fun inside!! :)
Just $159,900 for a combination castle/beach/spaceship with a pool? Dang. That's called having your cake and eating it, too.
That beach is actually a giant cat litter box. Or at least it would end up being that in my house.
I kinda like most of it but I'm guessing whoever put it together doesn't give a damn about my or anybody else's opinion. Rightfully so.
It's unusual, to say the least! But kudos to the creative owners who invented their own vision of a home...
This is what houses should be. Fun, creative, unique. Instead of the millions of duplicate beige monstrosities.
lmao i thought the ending of this post was gonna be like: "guess what we saw this same indoor beach in a pornhub video, turns out it was a porn studio" or smt like that.
This looks like the kind of house someone would make in the Sims
This honestly looks like the kind of stuff I make in the sims
best example of the old cliche, you live inside a house, not on the outside.
The houseplants are in remarkable condition, so the place isn't vacant or neglected. This seems like the kind of place that someone will open a door and discover three people who have never been outside of it in their lives.
Stoned. Very, very stoned. For many, many years. A stoned, bipolar schizophrenic. Or maybe just some fun people that didn't give a rat's a*s what we thought of them.
In the '90's I had that pink blacklight poster with the mountain on it.
It went pending but it has over 2 million views and 18,000 saves on zillow
As someone once said, " you never know, what goes on, behind closed doors !!!
I love it!! Only complaint is it needs more windows. I love seeing houses where the personalities of the occupants come through. Boring house = boring people to me
Looks like the Addams Family's house and the Doctor Who tardis had a baby and it's a house. XD
Starter home for the people who own McMansion with the town in the basement. Wonder what their next home will look like...
I dunno about this house.... The front door is blocked by a bush which I find very odd. And the second issue I have with the description of the house was the vault door in the kitchen leading to the 2nd floor....!!?? It's a one story house with a basement...WTH? I smell a rat.... or a joke... well something smells.
That spaceship room is a Roleplaying Table setup. The GM in the big chair at the end, the TV at the other end to show clips or play music for setting. 100% guarantee, also would like to join the group. 🤣
The hatch in the kitchen looks photoshoped to me.. and after that... but I may be wrong I don't have my glases with me
I hope there's another way to the 2nd floor other than the spiral stairs!
I think he and I should meet. My place looks normal from the outside too.... https://youtu.be/NSw23WkjcxA
Dude! It looks like What Remains of Edith Finch! Each room its own story.
If I were 50 years younger, I would cherish this house. You would never get bored!
That house is all over the place. It’s like multiple people owned it, but instead of redoing everything, they just added on to the weirdness.
My oh my! This looks like an art installation that really needs to be kept within the group of ‘magnificent weirdos’ (as said by mph seti in the comments here) to be improved on! (What I wrote when I shared this to F-book: “This house ‘looks modest at first,’ they say, but inside? It’s a different story, not quite ‘like Alice going to Wonderland for the first time,’ but if her tab of acid, given to her by that white rabbit, has just started to kick in! 🐰“
I don't care how weird it is. Where I am, this amount of money would get you about 100 sq ft, if you're really lucky.
I used to live down the street from an artist. He decorated the front of his house every three months or so with different bits and pieces he had neighbourhood kids collect. He once did a stunningly beautiful mural entirely out of bottle caps. Took us months to find enough. But it was a labor of love. In the fall of was leaves. One summer popped water balloons. He would cover as much as he could with tarps while he was working on them. There would be a giant circle of kids, and quite a few adults as well waiting for the unveilings. It seems like this kind of individuality is dying. And that's a crying shame.
I like that large living area with spiral stair. The rest can be redecorated.
Nice house. You could probably do something cool with once they've got all their furniture out! :D
Well, it is certainly "unique", or perhaps "eclectic" would be a better word. I'll just leave it at that...
And we had a hard time selling our old house because people didn’t like the color of the porch....
This is why you don't do something to your home that's extreme. If you don't plan on living in a place forever, don't decorate it insanely ugly like the house in this article. It's only going to make most buyers steer clear or just avoid it altogether.
Load More Replies...That poor house has some great potential yet looked like someone just threw up all over it. Someone needs to give it the love it deserves.
Well the person obviously put a lot of effort into the house, especially keeping up with all those plants. I respect the owner for having a vision and then putting all that time and effort into making it come true.
Load More Replies...Parts of it are oddly creepy. It's an amazingly deceptive house though. If I bought it I'd redecorate the hell out of it.
I Think this house were used like homemade porn studio or something like that
Will be nice if someone puts in the work to remodel. Right now shithole is too nice of a descriptor.
It's weird. Yeah. Not common but it's okay. If I'm gonna be the next owner,well............. I'm gonna renovate the whole house. I mean, WHOLE HOUSE.
