Tasteful Friends: This house is a madcap, whimsical and colorful caper in Lighthouse Point, Florida!

Someone looked at their spouse and said, "Oh, let's just go with a ton of color! We're in Florida on the water, for Chrissake!" And then they did.

Boy did they.

I actually really wanted to like it, but I don't. It's like the Motel 8 version of the mansion in Ruthless People, minus the architecture.

I like that the realtor helpfully added a huge red arrow, in case we couldn't see the place.

The beige bedroom is hilarious 😂

Does it come with an "Off" switch?

by Anonymousreply 3June 14, 2021 9:52 PM

Design by Playskool. Except that the pool looks far from child-safe, with those jagged corals and shells.

You can tell that the "beige" part of the house is where the non-zany grandma lives.

I thought the outside was whimsical - but no, the inside is just as fucked up and worse.

This is a very expensive neighborhood. Its current owner is Dr. Susan Rodell - Republican.

Check out pics from her office in Boca!! She takes the them to work with her! There's no fucking way I'd go near that woman's doctor office.

For a moment I actually thought "Who would put a daycare center on the water and, of course, Florida would allow it."

Wow. Who would buy it?

I feel for the neighbors that are forced to look at the mess every waking moment.

Christ that made me queasy. Was she a pill mill doctor?

R8 I don’t. They are all multimillionaires and can move.

R7 - I've often wondered that about the "zanier" homes or custom homes whose owners tastes may be OK, but way out of the norm. The remodeling and redecorating costs would seem staggering. How are these things marketable? It would be fascinating to see follow-ups on some of these properties. Who bought them, were there markdowns, what did they do to "fix" the property, etc.?

This proves that doctors aren’t the best nor the brightest of individuals.

R9 - she's listed as a geriatric medicine specialist.

Her degree is from....GRENADA! Now, I've been to Grenada and thought it was lovely. However, I'm not sure if the medical school is of the highest caliber.

Even more of a reason to steer clear of Susan Rodell!

Is that Carole Baskin's house?

Pee-wee Herman's beach house!

I instantly envisioned a carnival cruise ship.

That blue sea and sky are like a palate cleanser...

Somebody got rich in the 1980s and hasnt changed a thing since. I loved lots of the Memphis style stuff,but my god its overwhelming overall. Give her this,she stuck with her theme regardless.

by Anonymousreply 19June 14, 2021 10:36 PM

But that's just it, R19. This person seemed to have seen the Memphis style and not understood it one jot.

At least Bette Midler's house in Ruthless People was crammed full of the actual article.

1980s cocaine money.

I got herpes just looking at that dirty pool.

Poor mans Ruthless People house!

Am I the only one to notice a resemblance between this house and Bette Midler's in Ruthless People?

All it needs is a killer dog named Adolf.

It's a bit rough for 4 million...I assume you're paying for the property and can split up the land

One tsunami or super-hurricane and that's all underwater.

We’re too late...someone has apparently purchased it and turned it into a Chuckie Cheese.

It looks like the after shots of a house on the show Hoarders. Everything looks like there is a bit of rot to it because so much shit was piled up for years and it was basically just cleaned out and staged with what furniture was still presentable.

It's perfect! All that red hides blood stains.

The sedate striped chairs in the dining room don't match.
