Hmm this photograph does not quite match the listing description:

The front porch has a large stone arch giving the house a warm, inviting feel to it!

I make fun of the corny 3D renderings that some unfinished homes use for their listings, but I think this strategy is probably worse.

I especially love the weird burned-corners look of the digital floorplan drawings.

From the listing description:

Serious inquiries only please. Partially blt eco-home. Website SylvanEcoHouse.com. 1 1/2 story home, three BD’s, 2.1 BA’s. 1944 sf. Needs completion.

Not a lot of homes have their own website. That number is probably even smaller among half-finished disaster-zone homes like this one.

What am I even looking at here? Why is everything covered in a metal grid? How is living inside a steel cage “green”? So many unanswered questions, and unfortunately reading the home’s website doesn’t really clear anything up for me.

From the listing description:

LARGE HOME ON A BIG LOT IN NEED OF REHAB…BRAND NEW ROOF…

And just in case you don’t believe them about the new roof, three of the thirteen photos they included show the roof actually being installed.

Of course, the listing also says:

BRAND NEW ROOF & PLUMBING, RECENTLY PAINTED INSIDE AND OUT.

But there’s no photographic evidence of the new plumbing or the new paint. How can we really believe them?

Doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence that this home would be a great investment.
