This Lodi, California home can be yours if the price is right. Here we see Susannah modeling the home for us.

Built in 1963, this home boasts 8,500 square feet of living space, seven bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, six fireplaces, three floors, and an elevator!

Check out that light! Octopus gone wild!

Truly one of a kind.

Renee is proudly showing us the living room.

You never know when you’ll need a full-size table in your bedroom.

Jackpot!

It serves as a wedding chapel on weekends?

This kitchen was considered modern in its day.

Beanbag chairs are included.

More visual distractions in this room. Thank you, Ken, for sending the photos.

The doll collection is bad enough, but the electric sub panel with exposed wires in a child’s room is a safety hazard!! Right next to her pillow! What were these Mount Vernon, Ohio owners thinking?! [click to expand photo]

Then there’s this one from a Watertown, South Dakota home. Dartboard right in the path of someone walking down the stairs!

Uh, there’s a door on the 2nd floor that leads to a corrugated metal porch roof. Safe? Hopefully, these Hickory, North Carolina sellers aren’t advertising it as a balcony.

Water from a sink plus exposed electrical wiring equals potential safety hazard. Zzzzzzzap? And don’t let a spark hit the WD-40 can!

Don’t splash any water! [Norfolk, Nebraska home]

Not quite sure that baby swing is safe and secure on the unstable sofa cushion. And the cushion seems to be moved out a bit from the sofa.

Please tell us they don’t actually put their baby in that thing. “Rock-a-Bye-Bye, Baby.”

Years and years of accumulating stuff.

Save, save, save.

Milk crate collection.

Tree limb collection.

After all of these decades of ownership, he only had $64,000 to show for it. That’s the sales price.

“How am I going to move all this stuff? Where will I put it? What’s soap?”

Every item has a special meaning.


At least there isn’t a pot rack.

Cluttered kitchen.

Quite the collection.

Years of neglect.

Fresh coat of paint needed.

The new buyer will renovate.

Not a good idea to keep combustible material near a gas water heater.

It’s missing a metal fire stop collar where the flue vent meets the ceiling. Safety issue and code violation.

Many cords of wood stored in the basement of a Somerset, Kentucky house. If there’s a fire, wooosh. The whole house goes up in flames. The rule of thumb nowadays is to keep firewood away from the house.

Either she’s a dangerous cook or she’s extra careful in the kitchen, because…

…she has TWO fire extinguishers in her Sun City, Arizona kitchen.

The ruins ruined the room.

Broken glass alert! Safety hazard! Buyer beware! Thanks, Mr. Seller.

Hard wired.

Matchy-matchy.

Uh, nice try. Next time, put the dishes away before taking the real estate photo.
