Wow. Is it possible for a house to have ADHD?
It would cost $150-$200K in improvements to make it modern and livable.
$150k…my final offer.
Looks like a do-it-yourselfer.
“Buddha doesn’t look too happy; I can see why.” and “Is that from the Jetsons?”
*Sigh* Jim, I’m really losing my patience that you don’t offer keyboard insurance…
Jim, have you ever submitted anything to “Lovely Listing”? This might make the cut.
Classic…thought I’d seen it all. I was wrong. California will never cease to amaze.
What`s worse than a do-it-yourselfer that never finishes anything….
That house looks like a candidate for Holmes on Homes. I suspect that looking under the covers would find a multitude of problems. Holmes seems to find electrical screwups no matter where he looks.
I could not stop laughing….both at your comments and the house! What an atrocity….it just kept on getting worse and worse!
I think that price is too high….the house is a disaster and that pool isn’t looking too hot either.
got my vote for snarkiest video, ever. Perhaps the owners of this home were merely heeding the advice of the backyard Buddha–who apparently had a thing for skylights.
“I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.”
– Buddha
Ugh. That’s not a deal at any price.
Wow….the tub made me laugh outloud! That was the perfect cherry-on-top of the house of disaster.
You seriously had me cracking up on that one! 🙂
Definitely scary to think of what’s underneath all those “upgrades.”
Are you still sure “there’s nothing price can’t fix?”
One of the best JTR tragicomedies to date! Right up there with the classic “You know when you see the white stone lions out front you are going to be in for an interesting experience” episode.
There’s nothing that tearing it down and rebuilding it won’t fix!
🙁
I laughed out loud at the master bath with two different sinks. Our rental has those.

You know, I recognize a few of those poorly-executed improvements from my house in Denver, CO. The difference is that I only paid $250k for them.
Perhaps the listing should read “lot for sale, suitable for building single family residence, bring your own bulldozer and demolition crew.”
Never thought that I’d feel sorry for tile.
What’s worst bad taste or no taste. LOL. BOTH!!!! You are so funny!!
What a hack job.
I actually have seen the oven/microwave combo like that before. RSF quality. You crack me up!
Fireplace/Chimney disaster, but wasn’t that a grill outside behind that wall??
OMG. I couldn’t stop laughing. That swimming pool is green on google maps, didn’t happen overnight. LOL. Oh, man. Sure there aren’t an swamp things in there?
Maybe they went to the Winchester house and got the idea of just keep doing improvments.
HAHAHA. Buddah doesn’t look happy.
Love the window jobs.
Don’t you like the cave by the pool?
I almost didn’t want you to lay the price on me.
It was sad to read the “Wish upon a starfish.”
No drug use in the attic or late nights sneaking out.
LOL. The stand-alone blue stove is the clencher.
Wow. The master bath was really botched. YIKES!! and YUCK!!
Travertine on top of the old cabinets and different faucets.
Schizaphrenic.
735k!!!!! INSANE.
Holy…..Moley!
How many man hours did it take somebody to hack in all those bad projects? What in the cluck was going on there?
My parents almost bought a house like that. But the guy responsible for the atrocities was an unemployed landscaper so the inside of the house was spared. The quarter acre lot was covered, and I mean every square inch of it, was covered with outrageous landscape features. In the front yard sat a six feet tall earthen mound that contained a waterfall and the mound had 6 feet tall plants growing on it. My sister and I were shocked and did homework and found out the former owner had lost everything and committed suicide. Dad didn’t want to live in a haunted house. And I didn’t want to think about my Dad falling off a crazy water feature.
The house stayed on the market for another year and finally sold. The first thing the new owners did was bulldoze and sod that front yard.
I suspect that there is a dark side to the history of that house too.
Wow, I was close…I thought 720, then went up after seeing the master bedroom…
No taste and sheer stupidity go hand in hand nicely.
That fireplace has to be blatantly against code, with the non-chimney.
Hey JtR…Harvest Gold is due for a comeback!
never posted before but man, this one takes the cake.
what an absolute disaster that keeps on going.
maybe i missed it in the video, but gotta be Wells Fargo, right?
Nope, Downey Savings gave them a loan for $796,000 in 2007.
The property has been listed for 6 months by an out-of-town agent, but he hasn’t figured out that he isn’t in the SD MLS:

Thank you taxpayers!
This property is worth more than land value. Land plus foundation plus framed structure. In other words, I do see potential. Bulldoze the yard, fill in the pool, tear everything in the structure down to the frames. Assuming the foundation is good, it would be a good starter for a full remodel.
Classic! See this kind of garbage in my area all the time. All I ever think is ..what drugs are they taking?
I’m speechless. I’ve never seen a house so full of ugly.
So full of ugly, and it all clashes.
It’s amazing what you can do with a HELOC, meth and rummaging through the Home Depot dumpster.
Maybe the guy was trying to one-up Nitt Witt Ridge:

I’ll go the opposite track – I doubt any of this was home ATM. Every single project smacks of improvement on a shoestring. The materials and design are all low end. Great ideas, poorly executed because the owner didn’t want to spend the cash to do it right. If this was a home ATM shrine, the kitchen would be full of granite and stainless and the master bath would be full of marble and travertine.
Fireplace in the bedroom? Fabulous idea, want one myself. However, not a fugly one like that. That’s someone improving on a shoestring.
Same thing with that stream and buddha, could have been really wonderful with better materials and design, however, it had neither.
Having done a lot of “owner-improvements” myself, I recognize the techniques and the drive to keep costs down. Finding good materials for cheap can be a real challenge if you aren’t will to spend the time.
