Wow- That's a lot of...style...for one house. It looks so normal on the outside!

From the outside it looked so normal. The inside was not thought out right. To small and dark.
I wonder why they are selling? Do you think they got tired of the Sistine Chapel replica?
How do you relax in a house like that?

Wow. That almost looks like two different houses. And the photographer should be fired. Some of the pictures were so dark! Yes, they had the window coverings open and the lights on but the darkness! Unless the house really is that dark normally. I couldn't live there!

That's exactly what I said to myself when I was scrolling through the photos. It's no surprise they had to do a price reduction. I foresee more of those in their future. |

Am I reading it right, there is no garage? Is this common in Utah?

So very strange.
How much do your reckon all those upgrades cost? That master bath, the kitchen, the, um, Sistine room, the extensive wood paneling? I'm thinking at least $150,00 and probably a lot more. Why would you a)do all these things on a house that totally doesn't have the size or scale for it, and b)spend so much on a house you are only selling for $300,000. That is insane!

I liked the bathroom
The Sistine Chapel thing was creepy as hell. I would not enjoy having that in a room.
The house was very dark and seemed very closed. I think I would get claustrophobic.
How many people lived there? Five bedrooms and a couple of them have more than one bed.

In think the decor is gaudy and ugly but what is up with the undecorated room, lol? Did they get that far and just have nothing left?

I like the house, but the first thing I would do is pull down all that ornate crown molding and paint all the walls and ceilings. The outside is lovely, but inside is a little much.

I wouldn't live in that house if they gifted it to me. It's so dark and gloomy,the size of the windows don't help and that ceiling  Can you imagine how much money you would have to spend on the inside to make it a " normal" home. People have such weird taste I'm not surprised it has a huge reduction in price.... |

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. The photo of the upstairs hallway was the first one that I saw that I thought I could actually live with.  The rest, no, I just wouldn't want to live there at all. And I wouldn't want the work of undoing it all, either. Even one of the bedrooms that basically looked okay appeared to have tile on the floor under the throw rugs, which would still be something i would want to change. |

I'd feel really bad about painting over the Sistine chapel ceiling.
but I would.
I bet it's not hand painted, more like a wallpaper mural or something.

I'm curious for what they originally listed the house.

It is small, dark and creepy - don't like the vibe it gives off.

I think they should have concentrated more on a bigger kitchen and less work on duplicating the Sistine Chapel

I really would love that house but not the living room with all those nakie people cavorting around! I'd offload that schlock ASAP. Some of the other stuff appeals to me though. Like the tin ceilings for instance. I agree the dimensions are out of whack.

Otherwise they'd feel too claustrophobic. |

Wow, someone should buy that house and turn it into a tacky b&b
$300k seems pretty low for all of those upgrades, even though they are tacky as heck. But I guess I can't judge, I secretly want a haunted mansion themed room.

C'mon, it needs a statue of Michelangelo's David in the front, with marble columns leading up the driveway, and an astroturf hedge maze in the back.
And a big "Borgia Parking Only" sign in the garage.

But then again, I have a teenage boy who refuses to let me even buy him a bed frame because he prefers his mattress on the floor. Spartan would work well for him. Maybe they have teens who said thanks but no thanks to the overly done gilt? And the parents threw up their hands and said a tight lipped 'fine?' The hallway scared me. All those pointy iron things. They looked like they were begging for a tipsy evening so they could put your eye out. |

How many people lived there? Five bedrooms and a couple of them have more than one bed. It is Utah! Do you think the owners painted those ceilings! Yikes! It is so boring from the outside, with the exception of those decorative painting accents. Why the heck is the lawn in a shape of a swimming pool? There is more pavement and rocks then vegetation out there. |
