House for sale in Missouri is a massive time capsule on the inside. Check it out
The interior of a home on the real estate market in Bolivar, Missouri, for $379,995 has people on the internet a tad flummoxed.
“Here’s your chance to own a true one-of-a-kind home in the desirable Prairie Heights subdivision,” the listing on Zillow describes. “This stunning all-brick, 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom estate sits on an expansive double lot and offers over 6,500 sq. ft. of living space — a perfect blend of retro charm and modern opportunity.”
And retro it is. Just take a peek at the interior.
The home — built in 1974 — has mustard yellow walls, dark wood paneling, arched windows, interior sliding glass doors into other rooms, A LOT of cabinets, an indoor swimming pool with carpeting surrounding it, red carpeting on the stairs, maybe a ghost or nine, SHAG CARPETING, and so much more.
The photos even show renderings on what it would look like if an extra from “That 70’s Show” put their furniture inside.
“Built on a slab -- peace of mind with no basement surprises. Whether you’re looking to preserve its mid-century style or transform it into a modern masterpiece, this property is being sold AS-IS at an unbeatable value,” the listing says.
The house was even featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that highlights unique homes listed all over the country. And people… well, people thought it was, in a word, “neato.”
Mostly.
“I can smell the musty carpet and dusty linoleum,” one person observed.
“Just needs a little repair and restoration and this instantly becomes the ideal property for any buyer looking to unleash their inner serial killer of yesteryear,” someone joked.
“I can smell this house. It’s smells of potpourri, eucalyptus and Winston’s,” another said.
”I love retro so I’d move in a heartbeat. I’d be removing the carpet from the bathrooms pretty quick though,” someone commented.
Bolivar is about a 135-mile drive southeast from Kansas City.
