Not my cup of tea but to each his own. The scale of the decor is too large for the home in my opinion.

Yikes! I think the owners misjudged the interior size of the home when planning most of those rooms.

Not really my style, it's so dark. Another thing I thought was odd was how ornate parts of the house were and then the bedrooms were spartan. Odd.

It is very interesting, but I agree with Judy26 - the "stuff" is too big for the house. I like the over-the-top decor - it's fun, if not exactly my style!

The upgrades are downgrades for me. Just way too much in a home that's not suited for that kind of decor at all. And I agree with tincin -- the weird juxtaposition between the overdone parts and the very spartan parts is jarring.

They had me at astroturf lawn! Utah is the second driest state in the U.S. I would LOVE an astro turf lawn. Our water bills in the summer can get very high.

Hmm, maybe it was the angle, but the hallways looked tiny.
One of those houses that's fun to look at and walk through, but didn't say "home" to me.
And I agree the furniture was a big large for the rooms/decor.

I don't, uh, well. It's unique. Yeah, that's it. Unique.
People are weird.

NOT how I'd restore a 1924 home, particularly a Utah home. Weird.

I haven't looked at any of the pictures yet, but just reading the description, I can tell it's going to be.... uh.... interesting.
ETA: HOLY CRAP! It's like they put every single finish and decorative touch that they've ever had a passing thought about all mishmashed together in the house!!!! No wonder there's been a "huge price reduction."

At first from the outside I thought it was normal.,.the inside is not my style whatsoever. The large sectional looked comfy though.

And I agree the furniture was a big large for the rooms/decor. Tiny, narrow halls and was that a long, narrow staircase? I am curious about the secret door between the master bedroom and another bedroom and the promise of more hidden doors and storage places. You definitely don't get a clue about the interior from the exterior, except that there may be an excess of cast iron scrollwork.

The master bedroom is soundproofed? I think there's some serious kink going on up in there.

I just took another walk through, this time with the pictures enlarged ( ). It looks like the hall upstairs has all of the original moulding. That and two of the bedrooms appear to be all that's left of what was probably a really nice, almost century old home. It's painful to think about.

I too was wondering and the "candle opera". It honestly took me a moment to figure out they meant candelabra. I hope it is a weird camera angle or something making the steps and hallways look so small. It looks like a great house from the outside and I was surprised that the price was only 299,999 with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. The kitchen looked small and I really didn't like the paintings. The big couch looked very comfy, but the bedrooms seemed like they belonged in a different house. What is picture number 30 supposed to be?
ETA...also, what is forced air?

I think it's a freezer in what appears to be the dungeon. lol

ETA...also, what is forced air? Forced air is a furnace with a blower as opposed to radiant heat like radiators or base board heat.
