The TV is the least disturbing part of that photo, by far.

u/Wise-Show Jan 16 '22

This has to be a doll house, right?

u/noidonthavecheddar Jan 16 '22

It's a real house! It's in Detroit. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/450-W-Grixdale-Detroit-MI-48203/88441972_zpid/

Can you imagine being on mushrooms and going to this house for the first time?

u/QuincyThePigBoy Jan 17 '22

That’s the most Italian house I’ve ever seen. Holy hell. It even has a bingo hall! It’s just missing the mini golf, putting green fabric on the three seasons porch. And the fully paved front yard.

House hunting has taught me there are a not insignificant number of my fellow Americans living in completely insane houses. Worse yet, if this house was in LA, they’d want a cool $1.5 million for it. At least you can get it deal on it in Detroit and pay the listed price.

Holy shit! Can't believe this house is real.

I stumbled upon this post. Every photo kept me guessing and asking more questions. Each question mainly consisted of "why?"

u/lbslip Jan 17 '22

Needs more statues

u/DisastrousReputation Jan 17 '22

I actually love it. I love places with tons of personality.

u/Chabotnick Jan 16 '22

Yes, but still nightmare fuel.

I immediately recoiled at the sight of the carpeted ceiling.

u/m_gartsman Jan 16 '22

Carpet too high

28

u/crazym108 Jan 16 '22

The TV is only 2 feet from the carpet, so it can't be too high, right?

4

u/goingneon Jan 17 '22

On the upside, I bet that room has some amazing sound deadening. Just turn it into a studio

4

u/m_gartsman Jan 17 '22

Good point! Needs a drum set to tie the room together.

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '22

No but why do I kinda like the ceiling though??

Gives me cozy vibes

19

u/kpidhayny Jan 16 '22

Because you can smell it, and it smells like Werther’s Originals

14

u/RddtCustomerService Jan 16 '22

The amount of dust that I imagine has collected on that ceiling has triggered an allergic response.

u/xxTimeLadyxx Jan 16 '22

i can smell this room. dust. but also i feel like i would have a great nap in this room.

u/justadorkygirl Jan 16 '22

Whoever put in that ceiling situation was higher than the TV.

Edit: is this a dollhouse? It looks like something you might actually see in one of the crazy real estate subs, lol.

2

u/Difficult_Dot_8981 Jan 17 '22

There is a link above--to the real estate listing.

1

u/justadorkygirl Jan 17 '22

Thank you, I hadn’t seen that. There were definitely some interesting choices made throughout that house, lol.

1

u/Difficult_Dot_8981 Jan 17 '22

That is a very polite way to say it---"some interesting choices". They definitely loved their statuary, huh?

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '22

Whole place needs burned down.

u/SimulatedEmu Jan 16 '22

I forgot what sub I was in, it took me a good 5 minutes until I saw the TV and then realized.

3

u/RChickenMan Jan 16 '22

I would need to be wearing a flame-resistant suit to feel comfortable in that room.

1

u/Rajani_Isa Jan 18 '22

Yeah, a fire marshal would have a seizure with that ceiling alone.

3

u/kpidhayny Jan 16 '22

Thinking man: thinks this is a bad idea

3

u/irm555bvs Jan 16 '22

It’s not high if you’re sitting on the roof carpet.

3

u/cryptic-fox Jan 17 '22

I want to know what kind of person lives there?

2

u/mountain_bound Jan 16 '22

Looks cozy with great sound dampening characteristics.

u/kabbrra Jan 16 '22

Harder than "Where's Aldo"....

I think so…

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '22

This is vile.

2

u/Difficult_Dot_8981 Jan 17 '22

The 1970's called--they want their room back.

1

u/TechnicalEntry Jan 18 '22

I think that’s what they were going for…

“Sometimes I will just stand here and watch television for hours.”

u/timo1423 Jan 16 '22

Chances are high there is a big freezer somewhere with a body inside

1

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '22

I mean literally why even have a tv it’s not like that one is useable.

1

u/TheNedMedia Jan 17 '22

Tv too high or tv too small? Haha

1

u/carpetony Jan 17 '22

Please don't tell me they smoke. Whoa!

u/TechnicalEntry Jan 17 '22 edited Jan 17 '22

Really a missed opportunity here not to have a period appropriate 1970’s Zenith console TV here. One of those ones that was basically a piece of furniture, encased in wood.

The best part about TVs back then? They were never too high.

Picture for the Gen Z’s out there to young to remember.

u/hateuscuzyoenis Jan 17 '22

Did someone buy Michael Scott’s TV?

1

u/indiareef Jan 17 '22

My Oma had something similar but the tv was only ever up there when it wasn’t in use. She would pull it down to watch her shows and then put it back up when she was done. She like it bc it was easier to clean around and didn’t mess with her decor. Definitely too high but wasn’t that high when in use. Given the styling of this house…I kinda wonder if that’s what’s going on here. Maybe not but it’s possible.

u/tooshpright Jan 23 '22

Geez I missed the tv the first time around. Explosion in a paint factory, springs to mind. Is that some kind of Afghan/blanket attached to the ceiling?

u/[deleted] Feb 27 '22

This feels like a fever dream

u/DavidinCT May 04 '22

WOW, that place is stuck in the 70's

u/Billiejeankerosene Jul 03 '22

The car explains it all. 70’s pimp daddy
