Yesterday I saw something I've never seen before. I was showing homes and came across a listing that said it was a former model home and all of the furnishing were for sale. The tax records said it was purchased a year ago by an individual, and now only 15 months later they are selling.
This house is still completely furnished as the model home. The towels in the bathrooms still have the ribbons around them. There is fake wine - plastic - in the wine glasses on the dining room table. There is foamy beer - plastic - in mugs in the family room. The hard plastic loaf of bread is on the kitchen counter. The house is packed with decorator tschotskes - model cars, books, wall art, silk flowers. Even the flat screen TV above the fireplace is cardboard!
Everything is dusty. The kitchen is being used - the cooktop is dirty. Only 2 of the bathrooms, one bedroom, the garage and the storage room are used. The other 13 rooms in the house have not been touched! (By the way, there is a junk yard in the lot behind the house. They don't show that in the pictures.) What a strange way to live.

ReplyDeleteGreat post - i enjoyed it.
I am in the market for a home. Are there any wax museums nearby that are on the Multiple Listing Service?
