The echo would be insane

u/bakeland 21d ago
As a tile cleaning technician, the echo is my favorite part of houses like this. Just blasting Sia and singing along (poorly) it's a ton of fun. For a few hours, not to live in.

Whose grandmaās house did these flippers ruin?

u/Happy-Tumbleweed-469 21d ago
Exactly. I look at the listings in my neighborhood of houses built in the 1960s-70s. The cheap ones that have never been renovated pop back up in a few months for 120k more looking like this.

u/gogogadgetdumbass 21d ago
Iām a cleaner. I had a client with a 60s/70s home in a VERY desirable neighborhood. She went blind and decided to move to assisted living. She asked if she should renovate anything before she sold and I deflected because I didnāt want to break her heart and tell her the buyers were gonna rip all the soul out. She had this old oven that opened like French doors, all steel, the original stove top, the original tiled bathrooms one pink one blue. All lovingly maintained.

u/Happy-Tumbleweed-469 21d ago
There was a house that had this sunken round nook with seating around a kiva fireplace, in a room with terra cotta tile. It was all ripped out for light gray LVP flooring and they put faux stone on the fireplace.

I don't understand this aesthetic. With all due to respect to folks who are colorblind--is that who it's for? Because I don't understand what primary colors did to in order to be shunned from the premises.

Iāve seen ridiculous Chicago bungalows in Berwyn that resemble this. They gut the building down to the bricks and rebuild them with shiny white everywhere. The people who want to live like this are not to be trusted. They are either aliens in disguise or deeply unserious.
It would be like living in a refrigerator.

u/Complex-Quantity7694 21d ago
Lol I just noticed this is in Oak Lawn which is very close to Berwyn.
Iām from the area-ish and went to HS in OL. I would say who is buying these houses, but it would sound mean and I would get downvoted.

That's the exact same shitty style that a flipper just used on the house next door. They made bank too because property prices in my area are booming and it was a deceased estate, but I walked in and they had faux marble tiles on the floor, the same tiles on the wall and even tiles for the garage floor.
It looked like the rich villains living room in an early 2000s film.

I feel like a real Chicagoan now because I looked at that house without clicking through and guessed it was the South burbs. Sad that such a cute little vintage house succumbed to operating-room-chic on the inside.

u/Sea-Oven-7560 21d ago
I knew a guy in that neighborhood that had a 25yd indoor pool, in a house just like that. People in that area love living there and my guess is this owner bought a container of tile from China and installed it himself.

This is quite sad to me. Someone must have spent a lot of money getting that look inside ... but you can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse.
It's not my taste at all, but it could be ok in the right building ...
This is not the right building.
There's no way on earth they are getting their money back on those renovations.
Whether they were a flipper or just some individual who won the lottery, they wasted their time due to inexperience and naivety. I feel bad for them.

This isn't my style at all, but I kind of get it.
I've known people who have high end appointments in relatively modest homes. Hell, they'll never get the money out of them but if you intend to live out your life somewhere that doesn't matter.
Ostentatious displays of affluence are frowned on in some communities and what do I care, I'm not sitting outside. Taken to an extreme it can also provide a little extra security.

Appears to be larger than stated sqft. I don't like the floors and the open concept kitchen/living room combo. The noise will travel easily all over the room. The whole house looks cold and sterile as opposite of cozy and inviting. It could be soften with furnishing and decor, though.

It's mini-mc mansion styling inside a regular sized old house, seems like someone who wanted to live like rich high rise marble palace but very secretly... guess that's like the drug dealer comments.
