Whether or not you currently own or rent a home, browsing the properties on Zillow has become a popular pastime. These are some of the strangest, creepiest, most unique, and flat-out bizarre houses available on the market today...
Guildhall, Vermont
$150,000
This four-bed, four-bath may look pretty innocuous from the outside, but the inside is a whole different story. Behind those quaint green shutters lies a surprising secret: this property was once a jailhouse connected to the now-defunt Essex County Jail.
That's right. You, too, can have your very own basement prison. Are the kids misbehaving? No problem! We're just kidding, of course—but the listing does encourage potential buyers to "get creative" with the way in which they choose to utilize this space.
Pima County, Arizona
$26,563
They say the pyramids are located in Egypt, but clearly, someone forgot about the lone pyramid of Pima County, Arizona. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath bachelor pad took some notes from ancient history...
Constructed in 2017, the inside of this 576-square foot tiny home is fitted with the bare necessities: a fridge, tub, toilet, and entertainment area. It's certainly a unique structure, even if the interior isn't particularly impressive. Surprisingly, this pyramid-shaped home includes central air.
Detroit, Michigan
$222,129
This 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom property is almost too unique to capture in words. Whoever lived here clearly had a flair for creativity, judging by the number of themed rooms. One thing is for certain: the previous owner really, really liked Grecian busts.
Each and every room in this special abode abides by a different color scheme. If you aren't one for bold patterns and statement pieces, we suggest you don't take a look at the rest of the pictures on Zillow... this is not for the faint of heart.
Baltimore, Maryland
$269,900
Barbie called and she wants her house back, but that's too bad because anyone would be lucky to live in this pink-and-blue paradise. This pastel dream home comes complete with a variety of fun features, but the color scheme is definitely its stand-out attribute.
There's really no telling what could possibly be going on in this room. Is it a bathroom? An art museum? Does that toilet belong to Marcel Duchamp? Either way, the previous owners were really sticking to the whole "teal blue" thing.
Forked River, New Jersey
$276,000
Back in the '60s and '70s, this house was surely the talk of the town—and it probably remains that way. Back then, curved architecture was thought to be the way of the future. Even if that's not the direction contemporary architecture ended up going, it still looks pretty dang cool.
This retro dome-home may be a little bit of an eyesore from an exterior point of view, but its insides are kind of incredibly, with wooden panel-lined walls and a spiral staircase. Although this house doesn't necessarily utilize space is the most optimal way, it's surely an impressive place to call home.
Gaffney, South Carolina
$307,000
This four-bedroom, three-bathroom house clearly has a thing for a certain someone, and by "someone" we mean the Tiger King. Whether this home was decorated before or after the series' debut on Netflix, Joe Exotic would obviously approve of its decor.
This place boasts four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Clearly, the previous owners of this place didn't shy away from animal print. Maybe they were even friends with Joe Exotic himself. Who knows?
Kittery, Maine
$430,000
To infinity and beyond! Well, sort of. If you ever dreamed of living in a space station as a child, this place is a fantasy come to life. The rest of the house is pretty bland, but the bathroom is sure to impress—or confuse—your guests.
Can't bear to be alone with your thoughts for even ten minutes? There's a built-in TV for all your Netflix needs. Showering will never be boring again—that's for sure.
South Lake Tahoe, California
$650,000
Scared? Us, too. This five-bedroom, three-bathroom house appears perfectly normal at first—until, of course, you realize that you've wandered into a Valley of the Dolls remake. Thankfully, these creepy ladies are just mannequins... who may or may not come to life after sundown.
Look at it this way! Even if your house is most definitely haunted, at least you'll never feel alone. Let's hope a seamstress lived here beforehand...
Larkspur, Colorado
$680,000
These people really committed to living on a mountainside—so much so that they built one themselves. This spot is really the perfect place for nature lovers and hiking enthusiasts. What better way to get some cardio in than hiking up the side of your own house?
This red rock formation serves as the foundation of the two-bedroom house. The views from the terrace are admittedly pretty awesome, especially since you get the chance to view other rock formations from the top of your very own!
Cambridge, Massachusetts
$799,999
Is it a house, or is it simply the world's largest game of Jenga? This four-story cube home is experimental and modern enough to set you apart from the rest of the neighborhood.
Beware that the zig-zagging stairs might make you a little dizzy on your way up. That being said, this place is easily one of the most uniquely designed structures available to residents of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Pittsford, New York
$833,145
Commonly referred to as the Mushroom House, this unique abode in Pittsford, New York was inspired by the stem of Queen Anne's Lace, a type of wildflower. The home is a landmark of the state and has gained national attention for its design.
Anaheim, California
$835,000
Disney-lovers, rejoice—we've found the perfect house for you. This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home resides only three blocks from Disneyland in Anaheim, California. From the outside, this 1960s home is deceptively normal, but the interior has been remodeled into a miniature theme park of its own.
Nashville, Tennessee
$1,100,000
No matter what you think, the one thing money can't buy is good taste. Every single wall in this place is plastered with designer labels like Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and Chanel. To make things even worse, there's a floor-to-ceiling painting of Kylie Jenner in the master bedroom.
Farmington, Connecticut
$1,106,349
Okay, from the outside, this place may look like your average giant mansion, but on the inside, it's even wilder than you could have ever imagined. This place once belonged to none other than rapper 50 Cent. This property includes 21 bedrooms, 35 bathrooms, a recording studio, a green screen room, and—wait for it—a whole entire nightclub.
Palm Springs, California
$1,969,000
This retro three-bedroom, three-bathroom house is a '70s paradise frozen in time. Each room in this home follows a different monochromatic color scheme. Although the concept is interesting, a carpeted bathroom seems like a terrible choice.
Lake Forest, Illinois
$2,395,000
This must be what it looked like to work from home in 1584. This home in its entirety is actually quite beautiful, mixing modern and Byzantine elements. This particular room is located on the fourth floor of a stone tower. It showcases an intricate mural made by Russian artist Nikolai Remisoff.
Kinnelon, New Jersey
$3,000,000
With a little less carpeting and some modern updates, this place could actually be quite nice, but for now, it's looking rather wacky. Those photos of faces lining the walls actually flow throughout the entire house. Also, does anyone know why are there life-sized statues of Frankenstein and Dracula on the property?
Hillsborough, California,
$3,452,056
The aptly named Flinstone House has been a famous Bay Area residence since it was first built. The structure does indeed look like it's home to everyone's favorite prehistoric family. Inside, most of the cabinets, shelves, and furniture have been carved from the stone foundation.
Dunedin, Florida
$4,599,000
This fairytale palace is either incredibly beautiful or wonderfully tacky, and we're not sure which is better. It looks as if a Disney princess is ready to move in! The outside is much tamer than the inside. This property even features its own dock on the water.
Islesboro, Maine
$5,000,000
There's... a lot going on here. The curtains match the sofas, but that's hardly the strangest thing to focus on in this bizarre pattern minefield. This property includes 20 bedrooms, but only eight bathrooms. Why? Just why?
West Linn, Oregon
$5,750,000
You're a wizard, Harry! This house looks more like an indoor mall version of Diagon Alley than someone's permanent residence. If you've been looking for a sign to live out your HP-related fantasies, this is it.
Lake Quivira, Kansas
$8,250,000
Ever wished you could vacation all the time? Welcome to this property on Lake Quivira in Kansas. This mansion is easily one of the most extra places on earth, but anyone would kill to have a wine cellar, reading room, stone watchtower, and a grotto complete with a waterfall.
Malibu, California
$13,500,000
Yikes. This property in Malibu, California looks more like a train station than a house. Despite this, it's still worth about $20 million, since it was designed by famed architect Ed Nile. The Los Angeles Times described this house as "an airport terminal mixed with a supervillain's lair."
Chicago, Illinois
$17,000,000
Are you a lover of King Louis XIV? No? Well, avoid this place at all costs. Built on top of a skyscraper, this penthouse looks like it was constructed in 17th-century France rather than modern-day Chicago. This regal abode even features a partition in the bathroom for privacy.
Orem, Utah
$25,000,000
How many trees were murdered for this beautiful interior? Who knew that wood could be so opulent... This entire house is constructed from wood on the inside and stone on the outside. It includes a lake, a pool, a tennis court, a jacuzzi, a motorcycle maintenance shop, and a jungle-themed home theater.
Newport Coast, California
$19,500,000
Is this a house or an outdoor shopping center? Well, it's both. This property comes with a full plaza, including a restaurant, a full arcade with a bar, a karaoke stand, and lots of games. There are also multiple home theaters and a nightclub.
Windermere, Florida
$783,049
Welcome to the Mickey Mouse House of horrors. This place is yet another Disney-themed abode, but we can only imagine the most dedicated of Disney-lovers would be able to survive a night here since it's filled wall-to-wall with Disney paraphernalia.
Ottawa, Kansas
$183,358
The one perk of this black and white nightmare is that you won't have to worry about matching the bed frame with the rest of the furniture since it's literally blended into the carpet—not to mention the carpet itself, which runs throughout the entire house. This one-of-a-kind ranch home is about as retro as it gets.
Newton, New South Wales, Australia
$1,051,000
The real estate market in Australia is one of the most expensive in the world, made evident by the fact that this dilapidated two-bedroom, one-bathroom house sold for just over $1 million. Talk about a fixer-upper!
Shady Side, Maryland
$893,482
Okay, as cool as having a TV in the bedroom is, what happens when you lose the remote to this one? This house seems far too extravagant for such an old-school TV—especially one that could easily fall and crush anyone sitting on the couch below. Welcome to the Danger Zone: Pretty Pretty Princess Edition.
Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
$752,988
Does this castle come with a moat, too? Whoever built this property must have been obsessed with Game of Thrones, or they simply made it their mission to become king (or queen) of the castle. This custom-made home includes secret tunnels and passageways on the lower level that lead you to an indoor shop.
Niles, Michigan
$141,000
Ever wished you could live in your high school gymnasium? This home encompasses 14,800 square feet—more than enough space to relive your worst memories from teenagerhood. Allegedly, the developer has plans to turn this place into a bed and breakfast.
Detroit, Michigan
$17,000
This place is most definitely in need of a motivated buyer. When the listing described the second floor as having sustained "fire damage," they didn't quite clarify the extent to which this property had been basically destroyed.
Reno, Nevada
$1,641,854
If anything, the master bedroom in this six-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home will have you at a loss for words. Apparently, the designer and previous owner has "dedicated 40 years achieving this masterpiece." Sure, Jan.
Pleasant Hill, California
$1,208,584
There is simply too much happening in this room for the human brain to process it all. Is it Southwestern meets Dr. Suess? Is it a waking nightmare? The answer is "yes."
Gladwyne, Pennsylvania
$23,950,000
Congratulations to whoever discovered the color wheel while decorating this room. We're sure that was very exciting for you. Aside from this confusingly heinous room, this massive property features 11 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. At least you'll have no shortage of guests to marvel at your hideous decor.
The Plains, Virginia
$3,900,000
Okay, so this property includes an enormous table and arena, but the listing failed to mention the fact that the horses are able to stroll around freely inside the house. Whether or not you live next to a "world-class equestrian facility," there have to be boundaries, people. Boundaries!
Kirkland, Washington
$1,398,300
Does anyone remember the Seinfeld bit where George Costanza attempted to "invest" in triangle art? Well, we found one developer who must have been a little too into the show. Aside from the roof, this mid-century modern villa is actually quite gorgeous, if a little pointy.
Sugar Creek, Montana
$78,019
Okay, either the builders of this house were extremely short, or they hated tall people. Maybe both! While the rest of this 706-square-foot property is perfectly suitable for people of any height, the bottom floor is a little less forgiving.
Fosston, Minnesota
$133,402
Welcome to the brutalist Hobbit Hole. You can live in your very own concrete dome, located on nearly 8 acres of private property. The interior is insulated with spray foam.
Oceanside, California
$576,800
No matter how hard this one-bedroom is trying, it will never be a two-bedroom. Sorry, house—not gonna happen. You can't just stick a bed in a walk-in closet and bump up the price by a hundred grand!
Bellair Beach, Florida
$547,000
Okay, calm down, Beauty and the Beast. No need to transform the kitchen into a pseudo-armoire. You can accomplish that Disney fantasy without disguising your microwave as another piece of furniture.
Richmond, Texas
$1,234,760
Did anyone consider removing the child-sized mannequin from the ceiling prior to taking this disastrous photo? If you aren't enticed by the cowhide rug, perhaps take a look at the many voodoo dolls that line the bookshelves.
Bushkill, Pennsylvania
$95,000
The real estate listing describes this place as unique, and, well... that's certainly one word for it. There's plenty of things to say about this bathroom alone. They couldn't find any more brown tile at Home Depot, but they managed to squeeze two tubs in one room?
St. Louis, Montana
$478,8000
The listing states that this is one of many "interesting architectural homes" in the area—and in that case, we're afraid to see the rest. The most famous feature is obviously the "'crooked' office addition" that only serves to exemplify the house's bizarre design.
Bellingham, Washington
$350,000
So, there are a few options here. Either all of these trapezoidal structures are connected to make one gigantic, hideous, shingled monster—or the dual garages signify that each of these strange formations is individual units. Regardless, this place is beyond ugly.
Baltimore, Maryland
$225,000
Have you ever wished it was Halloween all the time? Now's your chance to live out The Nightmare Before Christmas for the low, low price of $225,000. The interior of this place lives up to the outside. There's even a coffin-style bench in the bedroom, which is plastered with gothic crosses.
Bethesda, Maryland
$1,629,650
This is Bethesda's famed Mushroom House. Sure, this place is about as whimsical as it gets, and its unique style has been featured on a number of local TV news stations... but come on. Do you really want to be the person who owns the Mushroom House?
New Berlin, Wisconsin
$1,295,000
Okay, it's safe to say that this massive six-bedroom, six-bathroom house is not suitable for anyone with allergies. That being noted, it would be pretty cool to have an atrium with an indoor koi pond...
Peoria, Illinois
$295,000
If you've ever wanted to own four ovens, have we got the place for you. This home's decor goes far past "quaint" into the territory of absolute insanity. Imagine going to make yourself a bowl of cereal in this place. Sensory overload!
