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

@weirdestate

If books are included that would be the dream house for many people here around.

Also, not expensive, less than a parking stall in Monte Carlo.

@GustavinoBevilacqua I'd change the curtains , they don't match my wallpaper 🤣🤣

@weirdestate

@GustavinoBevilacqua @weirdestate I confirm that I'd live in the second picture. My ideal house has heavy curtains and bookshelves that go from floor to ceiling. As for filling the bookcases, just leave it to me

@weirdestate
The floral wallpapers are a bit much. As are the chandeliers in the bathroom.

Also, has *almost* enough bookshelves.

Almost.

Okay, let's face is there such a thing as too many bookshelves?

@rdm @weirdestate No, but their shelving “system” is a nightmare. At least put all the dictionaries together.
@weirdestate i mean, kinda do want.

@weirdestate

I'm amazed that they were able to fit the entire house inside of the 70s time capsule.

@weirdestate

In order to keep it clean and dust free with all that clutter one would need 3 housekeepers working 24/7.

@weirdestate also, a subtle feel of overlook hotel in the corridor
@weirdestate I dream of book shelves like that
@weirdestate A great example of a couple aging in place. When they bought this it was perfect for their price range and so nicely designed. For years he bragged to guests about making the bookshelves and knick knack holders. She was admired for keeping the place neat as a pin. After he died she eventually was convinced by the kids to move to an elder care community, and thus this museum piece is on the market.
@weirdestate Those green seats 👀👀👀
@weirdestate I kinda dig it, apart from The White Room

@weirdestate I'd call it eccentric. To a specific taste. While not my kind of thing, I've seen a lot more bonkers out there.

And hey, lots of bookshelves!

@weirdestate
Does a snow plow come with the house? Because that’s a very long driveway and that part of Iowa can get a lot of snow.

The pink glassware in the window was fun.

@weirdestate

It'll go great with my new Plymouth!

The house is so dated, it should just be preserved as-is as a time capsule.

8000 square foot house (743m^2) is ridiculous in any time frame.

@weirdestate Does Radar’s family still live nearby?
@weirdestate @FundaFun hebben we nog een Nederlandse variant hiervan?
@ivolimmen @weirdestate Poeh, vast, maar dat wordt goed zoeken!
@weirdestate carpets, immediate failure
@weirdestate An individual style. I would rent the library!
