The outside is deceptive... doesn't look that bad, although it may not be your preferred style.
@Mari is right. You have to click through to the inside photos to really appreciate what a monstrosity this is... hidjus.

Actually, Australia has been making some excellent movies lately, horror, sci fi, mystery, thriller, all genres. I've been impressed with how many of the movies I've enjoyed over the last 10 years are Australian, perhaps because previously I never thought of Australia as having much of a film industry.
 
I am looking for a house but a picture is about all I can afford! You have to open the link to appreciate this one...

I wonder if the previous resident had agoraphobia and/or was a hoarder... Hear me out.

A friend of mine had an uncle that passed away several years ago. He was a hoarder (probably because everything came INto the house and nothing went out)...

This fellow had what looked like bathroom tiles stuck to the ceiling in several rooms. And it looked like he ordered a few things online. And not just one item of each. He had five restaurant-style sugar jars, with the silver lid that you lift up the little top and it has a hinge so the sugar can pour out. He had, literally, a room of books and magazines all piled on piles of more piles of said books and magazines.

I’m sure if a hoarder/person with no desire to leave the house had enough time, that person would try several things. And if you never go out or into other people’s homes and seldom have people come into your house, who is gonna tell you that uh, you might not want to leave those burgundy or floral bathroom tiles on your ceiling?

Or it could just be this person had an obsession with woodworking...
And copper, and other metals, apparently. And a disturbing amount of love for the colour red and orange......

If I never came out of my house I’d probably have paintings covering the walls. Or on the walls themselves. And the furniture.

Or it could just be someone who doesn’t care what others think...

lol Wow!

As obsessed as they were unappreciated :D

It was the idea of a "self-trained artist":

In 1994, Nikolay Synkov, a Russian naval engineer, came to the United States with his wife Tatiyana and their three children. Like countless others, he came to America seeking opportunity and prosperity. He found both by starting a small business—a home repair company that would indulge his unfulfilled passion for architecture...

For four years, Synkov would work 40-hour weeks leading a team of at least seven, including his children, in the fulfilment of a remarkable vision. This was no mere remodeling project. Synkov, who now describes himself as a self-trained artist working within the medium of the “single-family home”, wanted the house to give voice to an idea. That idea, as explained in a 2008 profile in Connecticut’s Hartford magazine, was “that peace is more honorable than the tragedy of war.” By the end of Synkov’s work, the house would be nearly double its original size and accompanied by well over 100 pages of accompanying documentation and poetry inspired by the paintings and writings of Wassily Kandinsky, the ideas of German philosopher Martin Heidegger, and Slavic migration, among other things.


Appalling Zillow listing is also American dream.

Shockingly, it is still for sale as no one has bought it yet:
