If you're looking for that fine, upscale midwestern living, look no further than what appears to be a discarded prop from a 1987 Disney Channel Original Movie:
A Tulsa residence listed on a real estate website shows the house's top selling point is the Tulsa skyline.
Located in Tulsa County and within the Sand Springs School District, the house was custom built. The 2005 home is approximately 44 feet off the ground and resembles a hovering spaceship.
Okay, there's a lot going on here:
- The house's "top selling point" is "the Tulsa skyline?" Really? Look, folks from Tulsa are as nice as it gets, real salt of the earth, no doubt, and the city itself is a good old-fashioned slice of America. But if you're going all-in on a real estate investment for the sake of the Tulsa skyline...I dunno if your broker is gonna give you the go-ahead on that one.
- This home was built in 2005? It looks....a bit older than that. I'm just saying.
- It does not resemble "a hovering spaceship." It resembles an odd water tower or a 1950s-era CONELRAD emergency broadcast center.
But I digress. If this sort of house is your bag, have at it. Just be warned the interiors are...well, they're what we might charitably call "a strange sort of style of post-futurist," or maybe just "kind of unpleasant."
Frankly I think it kind of looks like a yurt. Does anyone else think it looks like a yurt?
That's a weird, creepy elevator. No getting around that. No getting in it, either!
Imagine doing your laundry in here. You could pretend you were the last housewife on earth, ensconced in your bunker with a lifetime supply of Tide, doing laundry as the nuclear winds rage outside. Charming!
Folks, that is one grim-looking bathroom. To paraphrase the great Peg Bracken, this is the kind of bathroom where the family competes to see "who can get out the fastest and stay out the longest."
Imagine welcoming your guests into this spacious, beautiful foyer. It would take their breath away (but don't breathe too deep, that's a lot of mold in the walls!).
And yes, it has all the winning appeal of a Soviet-era bomb shelter. But don't forget: It's above ground! Literally—it's elevated off the ground! If the big one really does go off, you're in the worst possible place to survive it.
Better snatch this gem up before it's gone!
