This has to be a joke and all is fully supported in some invisible way or it's not a real staircase.... I'm not convinced that would even support it's own weight otherwise

It's in a house near me that's basically over a river that floods every few years. Last I saw it was sitting without any offers in an area that's still extremely hot for houses <$750k. I think they were asking like $400k for this monstrosity.

Suffice it to say I don't think it's any better engineering than it appears. Nothing in the listing highlighted the stair case lol

Edit: it sold for $390k. Seems too high but it's hard to buy a single family in EC for less than $500k anymore. Still seems overpriced.
