A kitchen with the benchtop pretty much completely covered in various wicker baskets. The attic of a house which has been taken over by a model railway snaking its way around the room

Here's a reader submission which sears my eyes - behold this understated beauty in New York, USA.

The landing inside an incredibly garish mansion. The floor is marble, the railing is very ornate and gold, the walls are mirrored and gold, there is ornate plasterwork around the ceiling, also gold. There is a rainbow starburst shaped skylight above. A dining room showing gold and white ornate walls and a gold and white ornate ceiling with a chandelier. There are parquet floors and an ornate long gold and white dining table. An utterly garish bathroom with very busy purple floral wallpaper, a purple tiled floor, purple curtains, a gold vanity with ornate mirror, a free standing bath and a wall mounted TV

You know what? They did their thing and they did it thoroughly. Good for them. Also, the knife holder in the kitchen is quite something.

A basement room with black walls and paintings attached to the ceiling. There are a pair of skeletons dressed as a bride and groom, and a stuffed werewolf on the wall holding a fake bloody hand. A living room that is entirely black except for the ceiling. The fireplace is black, the chairs and curtains are black, the chandelier is black, and the side table is black. A kitchen with black cabinets and a black textures backsplash, and a knife holder that is a model of a human head with blood coming out of where the knives are stabbed.

"...A perfect blend of modern comfort and prime location", so are we just not going to mention whatever on earth is going on here?

A red painted room with many different angles, with walls painted red and a seemingly upholstered square around a narrow strip of glass block window. There are panels on the ceiling, some of which appear to maybe be noise dampening blocks but they're not consistently placed. The back wall is painted gold and has glass squares. A bathroom where every surface is mirrored and it's extremely difficult to differentiate between the walls, ceiling, and the vanity and sink.

An one story curved structure that is flat on top and is concrete except for a front door flanked with small square windows, and dark grey panels. There is a triangle area in front where one could presumably park a car, but no driveway coming up to it. The back side of the house which looks completely different to the front. It has a round 2 floor turret in the middle and angled walls where there are windows. There is also a pool right near the house. An open plan living area with kitchen visible a bit behind a marble wall. The ceiling is unfinished and shows a latticework of metal beams and exposed HVAC system. The furniture looks AI generated.

Oh how nice, the car turned up for dinner!

A white kitchen with a dining table - the garage is right next to it and is open to the rest of the room. There is a red car pulled in that looks like it's at the dining table.

Not only does this house have "I built it myself in the 70s" vibes, it's about to fall off of a cliff. $1,550,000 USD and 646 days on Zillow. Gee.

An orange house sitting at the very edge of a sheer cliff. Another view of the orange house, showing just how high the cliff is, down to the water.

Does anyone want a nineteenth century military sea fort for £50,000? It even includes 3 sunken barges!

This is a completely normal house except for the creepy basement which is not mentioned whatsoever.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2260-Cremona-Dr-Pittsburgh-PA-15241/11510443_zpid

A long very narrow room with a concrete floor and many crudely drawn images on the wall such as dolphins and starfish, hand prints, Winnie the Pooh, trees and a castle. Some of the drawings are smeared and worn like people have been touching it over time. Another view of a room with a concrete floor and more crude murals, this one has a yellow submarine in water with text saying "we are in a", and it's assumed that off screen it says "yellow submarine". On the left wall there is a tortoise. The murals are worn and creepy. At the end of the room are stairs and an American flag propped up against the wall.
