Would you want to live here? [View all]

There will be no link with this one, but I saw it and had to post because it's so unique. I frequent a website that highlights unusual real estate listings. I used to put some of them here in the Lounge with a link to the listing so people could see all the photos, but somebody flagged it as commercial spam and, to my surprise, a jury saw fit to remove the last post of that sort I placed here.

So I won't tempt fate. I just want to make it clear that I have no connection whatsoever to this property, other than a passing interest, as I'm sure others here will have. It's quite a curiosity.

This one is found in Reedville, VA. You can find it and the price (I won't even take a chance of posting that) via a Google search. I realize a good number of DUers could no longer practically live in a place like this, but would it have appealed to you at any point in your life?
