    There sure is a lot of chairs in that house.

    From The Dude:

    The rug really ties the room together

    From Jason S:

    $3.2 million and they’ve got IKEA furniture in that place? I know because I have that same dresser.

    From Mother Hydra:

    Does the owner have a chair fetish? Also: all the expensive appointments and touches yet they go with an Ikea Malm bed for one of the bedrooms? must be the red-headed step child’s room.

    From Chef:

    Landscaping by Le Notre. Interior is an odd (or eclectic, depending on your viewpoint) mix of contemporary and Louis XVI.

    From Spoonman.:

    Those…chimneys? look like the top of compressed gas canisters more than they look like architecture.

    From Old School:

    3.2 mil? It’s a tear down.

    From RM:

    The lounge seating arrangements are very trypical of a traditional Middle Eastern home. According to the HCAD website, the homeowner’s surname appears to be Middle Eastern. What is even more interesting is the $38,000 annual property tax bill on this home….ouch…

    That room looks like the room at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    From Harold:

    All of that furniture is Westheimer Flea Market material.

    From miss_msry:

    Well….. it looks like a waiting room in the White House. But if you buy, you’re going have some really nice neighbors. I know.

    From Greg:

    3.2 Million and not one comfortable chair!

    From J:

    Someone by the name of the listed owner is a doctor who got in trouble for Medicare fraud in Dec 2011, uh oh

    From Sally:

    What an odd assortment of furnishings and interiors.

    From commonsense:

    $3.2 Mil will never happen, there are new construction homes being sold in the area for 2.5 to 2.8 range. There’s a reason it’s listed by a no-name Realtor, no reputable one would waste time listing it at an unrealistic price.

    From ShadyHeightster:

    The interiors make it a mullet house: all business up front and a party in the back!

    From Houstonian_sinceday1:

    This home proves the old axiom that money doesn’t buy taste. On the other hand, looks like it would make a very nice embassy for any oil rich country…
