Sure, okay. Why not?

In addition to… that… The seller also appears to have somewhat of a basket fetish:

So many baskets. I mean, not as many as this home from February, but still quite a few.

This home is basically the opposite of subtle.

It looks like such a nice, unassuming little house…

But then… you walk inside… and you see… Them.

Figurines, action figures, tchotchkes, dolls…

Call them what you will, they’re *everywhere*. ‘Kaaay… that’s weird.

But Wait! There’s more!! Even a brief sojourn to The Underworld (aka The Basement) will reveal…

The Lair of the Evil Genius, where all of Them were brought to Life!!!

Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Every day can be a party when you fill your home with statues.

I mean like every room.

Everywhere.

There’s no such thing as “too many statues.” …or is there?!?

Even the back yard is full of statues. It’s a non-stop 24/7 pool party.

That is a lot of beer cans. But the really cool part about this room isn’t what’s inside, it’s how you get inside…

Here’s a shot of the door into the beer shrine / game room:

Don’t see it? Here, let’s get a bit closer…

BOOM. Hidden door!

At least it adds some interest to this otherwise rather uninspiring home.

From the Wall Street Journal’s House of the Day:

Philanthropist Frederick Forrest Peabody built this neoclassical home in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1914. The current owners, Sandi and Bill Nicholson, bought it in 1998. Mr. Nicholson is the former chief operating officer of Amway, which manufactures and markets consumer products. ‘It really needed to be restored,’ Mr. Nicholson says. ‘We were happy to save a wonderful hilltop home.’
…
The terraced rose garden includes 500 rosebushes. Mrs. Nicholson says there are peach tones, yellow tones and a ‘hot cocoa’ rose with a terra cotta tone. The garden also includes approximately 200 fruit trees, including lemon, lime, orange, pomegranate and apple. There are 16 varieties of banana trees. Joyce Rey of Coldwell Banker Previews International and Harry Kolb of Sotheby’s International Realty share the listing. The house was first listed in September 2013 with an asking price of $57.5 million. The price was lowered to $49 million in December 2013.

Here’s the comment Emerald63 included in the submission:

Really, where else are you going to find all that plus 23,000sq ft for only $49 million? (Down “significantly” from $57.5 million.)

Not indicated: how many full-time gardeners it takes to maintain such a massive botanical bounty.

I also like the giant winged lions on the left side of the front yard. Can I just have those? They definitely require a lot less maintenance.

From the submitter:

All I can say is that somebody likes baskets.

No joke.

Um… what else is there really to say?

Looks like the basement is where they store the baskets they haven’t had time to hang up around the house yet.

“Honey, we ran out of hooks for baskets.”

“No problem, I’ll just build you a basket shelf.”

SO. MANY. BASKETS.

Note the other collections featured in the photo above: Santa dolls and white tea sets(?).

That is a lot of baskets.
