Tasteful friends,

Is this the snow shovel shooter house? If so he could have claimed insanity, and presented that wallpaper as proof.

Anyone notice the lighting in Living room? All gay men have track lighting.

Yes, R1.

Says it’s “off-market”

That’s a fuck-ton of oak.

It's dated, but still a nice house. Good bones as they say.

Remember when we were all wondering if he was gay?

Well, that wallpaper in the enclosed front porch / room answers the question once and for all.

I do love the first line of the realtor's description: "Very well maintained 3 bedroom raised ranch in a quiet neighborhood".

Jeff had impeccable taste!

The neighbors used to be a bit standoffish, but that’s all dead and buried now.

Is it wrong that I love the front room with the wallpaper, the pendant lamp and the wall sconces?

Is that the one with the floor stain?

The loveseat in the front room reminds me of the Golden Girls!

Maybe the property could be used to film a 2021 GG remake?

Ghost central.

Why the fuck is the rest of the house empty but the High Frau wicker glory of the entrance / sunroom / whatever-the-fuck-room remains untouched?!?

My guess is that wallpaper was there when he bought it and he never bothered to replace it. I can just imagine sitting in that room watching the antics of the trashy Goys.

Could be cute. Needs pretty much a complete gut job.

That long-ass hallway of doom was really something. I actually recoiled when that photo flipped through.

[quote]Remember when we were all wondering if he was gay?

HA! I was thinking that too. The house does have "good bones", but it looks like it should belong to a little old italian lady, not a creepy, loner gun nut. Well, at least we know he didn't blow his brains out on the porch, otherwise that have to replace the wallpaper.

Baseboard heating? Really? That guy had a good job - there is just no excuse for that.

Whatever the case, I am glad to creepy loner & the goys were able to transition from "murder suicide" to "tasteful friends". Well done everyone!

Who invented chain link fences and why?

Scummy Motherfuckers.

the "special" tiled room in the basement. BDSM dungeon?

What’s the story here? I thought it was a nice house, but the ceilings are too low. And why is the place so dark?

[quote]the "special" tiled room in the basement. BDSM dungeon?

I noticed that too - weird; the basement is largely unfinished, but then there's this out of place tiled room. There's hooks indicating it's some kind of work space or studio. When they cleaned out the house, the probably found the remains of decomposing homeless people in that room

I'd have to spend all my time out back on the deck because if I stayed inside that horrible place more than an hour I'd kill myself from depression.

Is there a promise in there somewhere r25?

Don't shovel snow onto other peoples' lawns.

R25, I presume you'd prefer the Goys' trashy abode?

Agree that the wallpaper, decorative kitchen tile, and faux Tiffany fixtures were maybe there when he bought the place. However, the wicker / floral furniture would be something he brought into the mix. Ugh!

This room is weird.

No, I don't think this house has good bones.

This story would make a great opening for the next season of Fargo. It could be tangential to the main plot or not.

This hallway looks unnaturally narrow.

I wonder how many teenaged girls were kept captive in that cinderblock room?

I'll give him this; the hardwood floors look like they're in good condition & he didn't rip them out in favor of that crappy laminate floor that everyone loves so much these days.

Aside from the "Design By Ted Bundy" look of the whole place, the large window in the front looks right down into the Goys house. Things might have ended better if he'd just planted some large privacy trees to shield the view & buffer the noise.

I believe that cinderblock room is the garage.

What the heck is that 3/4 door in the dining room?

Another PA beauty!

[quote] What the heck is that 3/4 door in the dining room?

It's where they used to throw the dead bodies of kidnapped children down into the furnace.

I think a pantry door or a storage closet, R35. My parents had something similar in their old house. It was 3/4 because there was a staircase under it.

Who would buy it with that history, unless you knock the house down. It will forever attract weirdos and other assorted odd balls seeking out the macabre.

[quote]What the heck is that 3/4 door in the dining room?

Maybe where the fuse box is or some kind of utility closet?

Excellent off street parking too.

The reason the hallway looks so strange is the same reason the Bidens looked like giants next to the Carters in that photo - extreme wide angle lenses distort perspective.

It is a normal "trick" for real estate photography to use very short (wide angle) lenses when taking pictures of rooms - it makes the room look bigger than it actually is. With that kind of lens, things look further away from the picture plane than they really are; and as you move into the middle of the image the illusion of greater depth increases even more than on the sides. Look closely at a couch or chair that has one end near the edge of frame in a room shot, and you can easily notice the distortion. The genius who took the hall should have switched to a more neutral one - the perspective of the long narrow hall moves into fun-house territory because of the wrong lens.

I picture these two being at the end of that long hallway
