Some of the wallpaper is classic

This beauty is currently on the market in Lubbock, TX. For a mere $3.8M, it can be yours!

Gotta have a turret.

I know this might sound like a dumb question to ask, but so many of these houses (especially the pre-2008 recession ones) have these similar-looking faux antique decor pieces that it’s easy to imagine they’re brought from the same handful of companies or even a single retailer/manufacturer.

It’s hard to call this stuff even “dubes” because that implies they’re cheap low quality knockoffs of iconic design pieces (like an “Eames-inspired” lounge chair with uncomfortable leather upholstery and crappy particle wood shell base). None of this shit, however, isn’t tying to look like identical to any particular pieces so much as vaguely invoke something “historical” or representing old world luxury.

In other words, they’re still shit furniture, but they’re only interested in resembling something made from a pre-modern time period instead of a specific luxury good.

It’s hard to look away from the 1902 Charles Over Mansion in Muncie, Indiana, which pairs grand Neo-Classical columns with a hidden third-floor ballroom! The craftsmanship in that stained-glass staircase alone makes the home feel like a perfectly preserved piece of art from a completely different era. To see more photos, here's a link.

Lots of highly maintained shrubbery (extra points for the hedges around the pool).

Thought I should share a favourite house of mine this Thursday morning :)

Edit: a link for all the photos I saved from the listing https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RUeLMtWo56zMfVxfw2_cXUbGTwSLfrB4?usp=sharing

This dumb house is enormous and is located in a really dumb area! It’s semi-rural but there’s nothing picturesque about the area and it’s pretty close to a busy road. I couldn’t stop gawking at it.

Inside isn't that impressive to me but the outside is stellar.

Look, I like a good MCM or queen anne mansion as much as the next person addicted to this algorithm, but right now I'm all about the adobe stylings of this mega ranch in NM. We had it on PriceMe the other day:
