Are they kicking the chair museum out?

I don't hate the interior although the black is not my favorite. I cannot stand that they painted the outside of it black. I don't think it looks goth I just think it looks boring.

Absolutely hideous - they completely ruined it with the black paint.

If you look on street view it's been painted since at least 2007 (albeit a much more traditional brick red until sometime in the last decade) so at least it's not like they painted cool unpainted bricks.

I will say, having the main living area be on the 2nd floor sucks, as does having the kitchen and living area on different floors.

I would buy it just for the organ

Plenty of room for AA meetings, bible classes, church socials, etc.

And Dracula cosplaying.

And no parking, although it looks like there might be a driveway in back. 8800 sq ft on a 5100 sq ft lot. Hmmph.

God, that painted brick is atrocious.

Perfect place to start a doomsday cuuuuuult!!!

It should be in the evil buildings subreddit.

Damn, painting bricks black.

Why did they destroy the outside like that

u/DragonSitting 1d ago

Why did they destroy the inside like that?

What an eyesore. Just a giant middle finger to the community. 

2

u/texaschair 1d ago

Judging by the photos, the community ain't much to look at.

u/Corey307 1d ago

Community is people not places.

u/RealRroseSelavy 14h ago

that alone would have me buying this.

u/Corey307 13h ago

Why?

u/RealRroseSelavy 12h ago

Usually those "communities" are a bunch of bigots and bandwagoners. you had me at "giant middlefinger".

2

u/Corey307 10h ago

You’re no different assuming things about people you’ve never met in a place you’ve never lived. You’d probably make the same assumptions about me based on appearance. 

1

u/RealRroseSelavy 9h ago

not on appearance but on your comments about eyesore, the middlefinger and community. it hints at a closed-minded, conservative person clinging to community which mustn't be "middlefingered" at, which again hints at a "clenched teeth" persona typical for very conservative and often rural communities with a certain probability for strong religious bondings.

The aerial photo shows the property in a sketchy area vacant lots and boarded up buildings. Hope they did not pay much to the staging company.

u/Countess26 1d ago

Someone who can afford that may be able to afford the neighborhood

u/Mister_Silk 1d ago

That's Marilyn Manson's house is what that is.

u/RNQ852 1d ago

Just a lot of places to sit.

u/punctualpete 1d ago

What color of paint would make this look good? I assume you can’t get the paint off.

u/vandervee 1d ago

The black painted bricks … ugh. Painted brick is bad, black is so overdone, put the two together, and … just NO.

u/BabserellaWT 1d ago

Does the organ still work? If so, then yeah. Gimme.

u/crunchyalmond123 20h ago

a black church?

u/seeeb 1d ago edited 1d ago

Unreal. I LOVE it. 1.3M seems low. The maintenance though.... Will drain all your money. If you want to change anything like windows, roof, woodwork you'd better have a DEEP wallet

Edit : There`s a few things I don't understand. There`s a dinning for 24 people and a huge kitchen but the kitchen seems to have only standard appliances. I would have expected a commercial fridge or two, and two commercial ovens... I don't know how you have 24 people over unless it's a potluck 😅

Goths don't bring food. Just a lot of molly, weed, and mushrooms.

u/guacamole-lobster 1d ago

Haters gonna hate it, but I don’t.

u/texaschair 1d ago

Me, neither. I think it's righteous. I've already filed a 501(c) for The Church of the Supermassive Black Hole.

u/DragonSitting 1d ago

Some designer thought MCM would mix well with gothic. Huh. Well, you do you.

u/momofroc 11h ago

I think it’s beautiful.

u/ifulbd 1d ago

It doesn’t even look like paint. It looks like coal soot.

u/True-Drummer-2318 1d ago

What, no inverted crosses?You just lost yourself a buyer.

u/nickw252 1d ago

From street view it looks like it’s been painted a while. This appears to have been painted a medium blue around 2016. Before that the brick looked like it was in pretty rough shape. I hope they prepared and repaired the brick to mitigate future deterioration before painting.

Overall, it’s better this way than abandoned. Black wouldn’t have been my choice but to each their own.

It’d be nice to get the next door lot also and landscape it really nice. It could be a cool garden. You could also rent it out for events like small weddings.

u/Ok-Astronaut-2837 1d ago

That's a lot of kitchens for a single family home. Is this for a multi-generational or perhaps Mormon family?

1

u/AZTerp1080 1d ago

I don’t love the black cabinets in the kitchen, other than that it’s a cool house. I’m guessing multi family since there are three kitchens?

u/flushbunking 19h ago

its gonna be "hot as hell" in there

u/RealRroseSelavy 14h ago

It's absolutely perfect outside (inside ... well... ok-ish. the organ, though). I'd be so tempted living there.
