This unassuming house in rural Washington

My favorite parts are the pissing Bart, the exposed bathroom, and all that sheet metal.

Calling all renovators and bargain hunters! This 5 bedroom 3052 sq ft home presents a golden opportunity to build equity and create your dream home. Put your renovation skills to work and unlock the hidden potential of this property. With its prime location and solid bones, the possibilities are limitless. Embrace your inner designer and turn this property into a stunning showcase. From updating the kitchen to revitalizing the outdoor space, let your imagination run wild and create a home that will make a lasting impression.

Translation: yes we know it looks like someone took drugs and decided to convert their house into a trendy nightclub, then ran out if drugs, but it does mean you can gut the place and start again. Which we hope is a selling point.
- What's special
  
  UPDATING THE KITCHEN REVITALIZING THE OUTDOOR SPACE
  
  yeah those are the only two things needed and voilà, a dream home!
Ok, but why? From the outside it looks like it was owned by sane people, but then....
- They started out sane but then started tweaking.
  
  There's clearly a carbon monoxide leak or something
It makes me think of Betelguese.
- Definitely the home of an eccentric “artist.”
Kinda want to see what it looked like with their furnishings. It’s funny how much a normal toilet stands out!
- Same here! They definitely put a fair amount of deliberate work into that aesthetic, and I'd love to see how they decorated and furnished some of those rooms.
There is a lot I would change about the house but I kinda dig the vibe
- At first I thought, "I could live with that, get creative on changing stuff for cheap." But it kept getting worse and worse and worse.
  
  I'd still love to own that property.
- I mean right it’s weird and not what I would do. But you know that the person who did it was in love with idea and it’s nice to see that kind of passion.
- knocking-shop-core?
Oh my fucking god is the shower made out of windows??
- Well of course, if it was made from Linux it would leak everywhere since it's open source. You gotta have closed source to keep the water in, hence the Windows.
  
  Or maybe I'm just confused
  
  fuck
- 🪟 🪟 🪟
Kinda looks like a cheap nightclub...
Looks like a "modern American" restaurant that serves room temperature fries and beer
Maybe I just have bad taste but at least half of this type of “eclectic” style I actually like. Some of it is just trashy and gaudy, but some of it is just more interesting to look at than regular old “house” style
- Yeah some was ugly, but sincere, other was not so bad
The interior looks like a trendy, wannabe-upscale Mexican restaurant staffed entirely by hipsters who don't know how to make good Mexican food.
Can you imagine attempting to clean this
That driftwood in the lights, picture 19. Really tied the room together.
I think the majority of this is ATBGE. I believe except for a room or two that the previous owner was very happy with the way things looked. I just don’t think anyone else wants to live with those vibes and the cost of renovating that to something more generally appealing is going to be outrageous.
- There's like two pictures here where "good execution" may apply, but the vast majority of this house is just awful taste and depressing.
It’s like someone took everything they found free on FBM and used it to renovate. Sprinkle in the cheapest HD had available and discount mis-mixed paint, as available.

It’s a shame, the outside looks promising.
I don't understand what they were high on when they designed this.
Did anyone else watch "Monster House" on the discovery channel in the late 90s/early 00s? They did this kind of stuff all the time.
that metal on the porch was but a lil preview shot, shoowee
Damn, $330k in my state wouldn't even get you something half the size
- I actually can't believe they're trying to sell that place for that much. Ritzville has literally nothing going on and it's in the middle of nowhere.
- To be fair, most houses of that size out here would go for more like 500k. But since it's in a really rural location and is a fixer-upper, it's much cheaper
- That area of the state is climate hell. The only stories that come out of that part of the state are anti-liberal militia stories.
  
  And wildfires.
  
  It’s nice in September. Driving through.
The beginnings of an arcade in the basement, too.
The deck area is nice...

That's all I got.
This looks like someone goes to a lot of punk shows and was really inspired by the aesthetic. I've seen this style in too many local bar/concert halls. Not enough sharpie writing and stickers in the bathroom though
Well at least it seems to be able to function as a normal home and be neither dangerous or too uncomfortable (if you're blind). What's up with the white sploches on the black though ?
- It might be drywall patches they didn't paint over...
  
  That's a lot of patches though, which raises even more questions !
Looks like it was styled by Otho from Beetlejuice.
This is what happens when you let millennial art majors refurbish a house using all the leftover materials from their failed millennial burger joint.
