    I don’t think that’s carpet, I think it’s linoleum or something similar. It looks like it has a no-slip raised pattern.

      Cold climate?

      How the fuck are you supposed to heat that thing? It’s designed like a heat sync, is all open plan and windows, and looks to be insulated with corrugated iron.

      Built in 1959, no surprise. Probably thought they’d be able to start phase 3 and go nuclear powered within the decade.

      But hey, on the plus side there’s a brook running through the foundations.

      It’s a very interesting choice but some part of me was incredibly envious when I saw the first picture of a fucking brook running under the house in the middle of a forest. But then I got to the next pictures and of course they completely ruined it.

        I’d love to live in it, but I’d probably hate to own it. There’s a few pictures from below and you can see some of the metal on the bottom is rusting out. I’m sure this thing needs some serious maintenance, not including the indoor pool thing.

        I love like 90% of this house and other than the pool, everything I don’t like could be easily changed. Now to find $600,000 and a desire to live in Duluth. I think the money would be easier.

    Idk, clean that pool, mount a flatscreen, hang some art, add a touch lamp, small table and chairs and some plants

    …AND COMPLETELY REDO THE FLOOR…

    it would be pretty nice!

      What would really be cool is putting those touch lamps all the way around the pool so you can just turn on whichever one is more convenient.

    This has nothing to do with the house, other than the address, but I think it’s rude when two cities that are so close to each other and one city has a street of prominence named for the other and the other city doesn’t.

    There is superior st, Duluth. But no Duluth st, superior. They are so close! It’s like Kansas city and overland park!

    One town over’s main thoroughfare is named after my town, and my town is just lulz fuck you inbreds. And I think it’s rude.

      The right hand side has that 90 degree angle piece- those are stairs to the shallow end.

      This room has committee many sins but alas that is not one.

        I’d just rather have an egress on all edges of the pool myself. It seems hazardous to have one edge of the pool completely blocked off by a high wall.

        EDIT: Two and a quarter edges, my bad.

    The bottom of the house shows its rusting in places. No thanks.

    Its also on .39 acres. That’s a tiny lot where I come from.

    It’s neat, but the amount of insulating and refurbishing that house needs would probably be about $400k .
