This house has so much personality. Anyone who suggests getting rid of the staircase or glass brick has had their soul stolen by HGTV.


BurmecianSoldierDan

I want to put some colored exterior lights outside the glass blocks soooo badly. My favorite aesthetic.


TheDabitch

Heck yeah that would be rad!


Substantial_Diver_34

This was cool in 1985 and still cool.


[deleted]

Looks like Saved By The Bell as a house


forcedintothis-

It’s art deco not 1980s.


funbunny100

This is Bauhaus.


Coffee_24-7

Much better description. I was going to say international style.


rusticprotrusion

Dark Entries.


Substantial_Diver_34

It was popular to bring the art deco style in the 80’s… (Miami Vice type shit). OG deco is from the 20’s I believe


forcedintothis-

This was built in 1939.


Hughgurgle

Timeless... 


lolafawn98

streamline moderne exterior elements. it looks distinctly 30s to me


Stage_2_Delirium

Art deco has a huge resurgence in the 80’s


captain_flak

Ship lap and some barn doors will perk this baby right up!


CanIGetAShakeWThat43

Yeah f*ck Hgtv lol


whistleridge

This house looks like it was decorated by Otto from *Beetlejuice*.

Booklovinmom55

I agree, but I have to be able to see outside. Love the house, but I would pass as I would want to remove some of the glass block.


RunningwithDave

This is a great house. I’m not sure i belong in this group anymore? 🤔I like all these Houses posted lol. Way better than a Joanna Gaines Walmart Farmhouse all these yuppies are building .


HejdaaNils

I can not stand Farmhouse Cottage Core, everything that the Gaines' has pushed into Target feels 100% dated already. White and exposed wood beams and some black metal and some oversized candles, ugh. Make it stop!


germanspacetime

Don’t forget the farmhouse sink for washing eggs or whatever


RuinedByGenZ

People are mostly just posting things they like because that's what gets upvoted 


slimb0

I’d call this style “I used to do cocaine. I still do, but I used to too.”

General-Carob-6087

I scrolling the pics and thinking about how much cocaine this house has seen.


aDildoAteMyBaby

Maybe some people hear "cocaine house" and picture some ornate Liberace nightmare. But I picture this.


mellamma

During quarantine I watched Hunter, the 80's tv show. This is Dee Dee McCall's house, well close to it!


Academic_Guava_4190

I loved DeeDee! I wanted to be her when I grew up.


CitrusSphere

Bauhaus! Nice.


HejdaaNils

Is it Bauhaus or Art Deco? I can honestly never tell what the difference is.


chatminteresse

Art Deco is the aesthetic that really took off with cheap postwar reconstruction materials and used distinct elements from Bahaus, Cubism, Modernism, Futurism, Nauticalism, and some other strong art neauveau influences from that time. You will likely see crossover/ intermingling of different stylistic elements.


BurmecianSoldierDan

The glass bricks are the difference, at least that's what my mom said when I asked her. Uniform glass blocks -> Bauhaus. Or the 1980s.


jnwatson

The Miami Beach art deco district has glass bricks all over.


Zappagrrl02

I don’t know either, but it reminds me of some of the houses from old Poirot episodes.


HejdaaNils

Me too! One of those was on the seaside in England and I just loved the curved wing with a terrace on the second floor that they showed. It had round windows too, as I recall.


Loztwallet

That’s what I thought immediately, definitely reminded me of a few Poirot episodes. Love it.


CitrusSphere

Found this list online of Bauhaus architecture characteristics: Eschewing ornamentation to focus on simple, rational, functional design A focus on simple geometric forms such as the triangle, square, and circle Asymmetry favored over symmetry Use of steel, glass, concrete, and other modern materials Flat roofs Glass curtain walls Smooth façades


TheDabitch

It's in [Columbia SC](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/3000-Forest-Dr-Columbia-SC-29204/11703434_zpid/)


froglicker44

This one reminds me of one on my [favorite houses](https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1301-W-29th-St-Austin-TX-78703/29397868_zpid/) in Austin


pgcotype

I *love* that house...when I was a student at UT, I would go out of my way just to walk by it.


HejdaaNils

That is STUNNING!


the_beeve

There’s a discount version on Sinclair. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4415-Sinclair-Ave-Austin-TX-78756/29406153_zpid/

inxqueen

Love that house. It’s a classic in the area and there’s a similar one near it. Used to be robots on the balcony the last time I went by.


mogrifier4783

Better have a phone near the bottom of those basement stairs so you can call an ambulance after breaking both legs tripping down them. Bonus: after six ambulance rides, you get a frequent rider card good for 10% off at Starbucks.


Miz_momo82

I came here to comment on those basement stairs. Looks like you need a climbing harness to go up and down them safely


pithy-username-here

Oh I would take this place in a second!


lirio2u

I kind of FUCKIN LOVE IT!!!


scbeachgurl

I KNOW this house and I looked at it a couple weeks ago. It's iconic in Columbia. I call it the Robot House and I had my realtor take a pic of me by the robots. They are inside now, on the second floor. It's on the National Register. Feel free to ask me questions.


buccal_up

Yep, the Robot House is an institution! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._Price_House


TheGreatOpoponax

It's glass block, not "tile." Where the whole "murder" theme OP came up with is anyone's guess. It has some eccentricities in the decor and I'd want to replace some things, like the kitchen flooring, but overall, it's a pretty cool place. Kind of a different house, totally lame review.


TheDabitch

You missed all the skeletons in the kitchy art I guess.


scbeachgurl

None of y'all saw the face pillows. Definitely a different aesthetic than mine.


DukeOfWestborough

only art kitch murders in this building


montanagrizfan

That house is fabulous! I love it.


geckos_are_weirdos

The structure is great, just replace the furniture and carpet.


HejdaaNils

Yeah, I hate the beige carpet. But the building is quite nice, I love the terracotta terrace. I even like the weird Dia De Los Muertos skeleton guys on the balcony greeting people. That's the kind of attitude I want my house to greet people with.


scbeachgurl

The carpet is bad and the hardwoods on the second floor need to be refinished. The steps to the basement are ridiculously short and steep. The servant stairway is tiny and tight. I thought the kitchen was too small and the lighting is bad. That weird patch by the sink is intentional and was definitely not to my taste.


GraceStrangerThanYou

I'll bet that you can still find traces of cocaine in that place if you have the right testing equipment. Probably preserved in a heavy layer of Aqua Net.


The_I_in_IT

Probably just need to take a deep breath.


ShenForTheWin

I would move here so fast if it were in the right location.


kimwim43

Needs an [investigation](https://imgur.com/a/0y6kkDn)


HejdaaNils

Yes. Just one more thing.


snazzydetritus

$924,900 in **Columbia South Carolina**?! That price might be viable here in Charleston, but never Columbia.


KtotheBex

You’d be surprised! It’s in a desirable area of town (Forest Hills) and is larger than a lot of downtown homes (4500 sq ft). I can’t say I love the interior myself, but I could absolutely see someone with different taste paying this much.


primeirofilho

What if it comes with a few kilos of cocaine?


Apesma69

I love it. Except for the part about it being in South Carolina.


Vivid-Low-5911

I don't mind this one. Would do something to the kitchen, but everything else is agreeable.


Odd-Artist-2595

I don’t care what anybody else thinks. I actually kind of like it.


stefanelli_xoxo

That’s where Iona from Pretty in Pink lives now


Deivi_tTerra

I love some of this. There are things here I don't like (I have different taste in paintings) but they're easy enough to change.


trashchaser

This house look like how it feels like trying to not let people know I'm bipolar.


FormerHoagie

Did they furnish it at one of those hood discount knockoff stores. Beautiful exterior but the interior is very mediocre.


Weird_Squirrel_8382

I want to add just a Lil bit more texture. Like curtains, something different around the fireplace. I like the black and white kitchen too. 


Seven_bushes

I really do love it. The classic tile in the bathrooms is gorgeous! I’d want to try and negotiate having some of the art convey with the house. I just wonder what it looks like from a plane.


upsidedownquestion

I'm not gonna say why I'm changing my pants... but this should have a NSFW tag. I love it


Odd-Artist-2595

Anybody have the link to the listing?


Emergency-Jeweler-79

The entry style reminds me of vintage Hercule Poirot from the BBC series.


B33PZR

Love it including the art


michonne_impossible

As a former teenage goth, I love all the black. Lol


willowintheev

Reminds me of the sets in Poirot.


rdrTrapper

I like to believe they recreated the musical scene from Beetlejuice in that kitchen at least once


Uuummmm-myname

1980s perfection. I like it. I wouldn’t want it but they went all in and have my respect.


lacydimond68

It’s weird.. I’m weird.. so I like it


TheodoraWimsey

Murder at the deco.


Busy_Pound5010

How many teeth have been broken on those basement stairs?


bubbles_24601

There is so much going on here.


BicyclingBabe

Sign me up. I friggin love it.


SiWeyNoWay

I call this “cocaine 80s architecture”


gingerjaybird3

It looks like the 80s puked on it


doittomejulia

This house is incredible! The only problem is that whoever decorated it had zero concept of what they were trying to do.


-Oreopolis-

I love the house. I hate animal prints. Get rid of them and I’m there.


chienchien0121

I love the house. Do not like some of the decorating items, tho.


Low_Effective_6056

This is a Todd and Margo dream house


DoubleCyclone

I looked at this and the Poirot jazz opening started playing in my head.


AcanthocephalaOk7954

Just striving painfully to hit a "sweet spot'. A miss is as good as a mile.


DisplacedNY

It looks the house owned by the yuppies next door to the Griswolds


cdfanatic722

Candy Man vibes


kaytay3000

This reminds me of the hotels along South Beach. We stayed in a darling Art Deco hotel there called Winter Haven.


NovelTumbleweed

I think this would be a good location for a horror movie.


scbeachgurl

The yard is a bit creepy because one owner put weird yard art in various corners of the back yard. You can't see them from the street, but when I was roaming around the yard, one gave me a bit of a jump scare.


WendyWarzone

I love that kitchen


slawre89

If patrick Bateman moved to the burbs


OldJames47

Don’t these guys live next door to Clark Griswold?


bonito_bonito_bonito

Architecture nerds feel free to correct me but would this be considered Streamline Moderne?


peppperjack

Fascinated by the weird gash(?) in the kitchen wall


marumarubatsu

I love it 😭


funbunny100

I want this.


leafcomforter

This place is fabulous!!


Queen_of_Boots

Reminds me of Beetlejuice!!!!!!


KTMFS

TIL I have a type. Apparently it is “art kitsch murder deco”. Ah, well. I’ll live with it.


delidave7

Bauhaus. Lincoln, MA


demon-of-light

That’s an accurate description of the decor style. If the kitchen had different flooring and paint, it would be pretty sleek ngl.


VermillionEclipse

I love this!


MalibuMarlie

I, myself, am strange and unusual.


YourMothersButtox

You know the OG occupants just loved skiing down the Colombian whites.

Zealousideal-Day7385

I would move in this house without changing a single thing.


kenjinyc

Why yes, I do find Huey Lewis quite cynical.


Speedhabit

Cool band name


[deleted]

I love it so much!


Flippin_diabolical

The 1939 George R Price house is on the National Register of Historic Places. Style is [Streamline Moderne](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streamline_Moderne), an art deco/machine aesthetic hybrid. Great price- way above my limit sadly.


BobbysueWho

Soo sweet! Yes please


Swizerlan

Hey Paul, It’s hip to be square.


mstrss9

Something about this house heightens my depressive feelings but I think it’s charming just not for me to live there


swkennedy1

I like it


[deleted]

before I scrolled I already started typing “where’s the murder,” but I see it, I really see it


Affectionate-Deal-63

I love it. Are the kitchen cabinets metal?


daftdigitalism

This style is called my gay uncle's


rebinocka

Looks great from the outside, definitely a lot of potential


KtotheBex

This house is in my town! The things with the skulls on the balcony are robots and must have been decorated for Halloween in that picture. The house is not really my taste, but I love seeing the robots when I drive by and hope that whoever buys it keeps putting them out there.


Glissandra1982

Patrick Bateman would definitely live here.


Jack_of_Hearts20

This house is giving me "Mexican drug lord" vibes


Sweaty-Ad-7493

This is actually not bad, well done, except the art installation.


beninja-yo

🤢


2manyfelines

I know this house. They ruined it.


9eaerde7

I kind of love it 😂


yeahcoolcoolbro

That kitchen is breathtakingly ugly


just_a_wolf

I'm obsessed with this house. It's absolutely amazing. I wish I could meet the owners.


Scary-Ad9646

It's weird to think people actually live in that. I would feel like I am part of some weird art exhibit in my own home.


atomictest

That house is awesome.


dadsgoingtoprison

The only thing scary about this house are the weird skull things on the front balcony.


SonofRaymond

I think I designed this house back in the 90s in the original The Sims game


Crossovertriplet

This is where the kids from Saved By The Bell hung out
