Painterly and lit in its listing photos like a Thomas Kinkade repro canvas, a 1972 townhome is part of a condo-ized pastel-and-wrought-iron block (at right) bridging the Charnwood-Briarbend neighborhoods near S. Voss Rd. and San Felipe. Last week, the well-stocked and comfort-padded property appeared on the market with an asking price of $429,000.

A two-story entry doubles the potential gallery space (above), but even the one-story rooms with stepped-down or timber-accented ceilings appear to have plenty of room for displays:
The 2,230-sq.-ft. townhome has 3 bedrooms (painted) and 2 and a half bathrooms (mostly papered):
Outside, the bucolic mews (above) features brick pavers and floral bursts, while busts peer out amid the blooms on the private back patio (below):

The property carries a $700 annual maintenance fee.

I know taste is a personal thing, but for whatever reason this strikes me as a perfect prison for somebody like Jonathan Ive. I did spy some space in a few photos where the owners could place more seating. MOAR is teh better, as an HISD child might say.
:-o
To think they’re going to have to pack up and move all that crap…
Pass the Tylenol. My head is aching form the clashing of patterns,nik naks and bric-a-brac!!! Oy Vey!!!
Somebody was a Hart Galleries addict–egads!!
The interiors in “Behind the Candelabra” were way better than this.
Wow! Looking at those photos gave me a seizure. I’m recovering by sitting in a darkened room.
Fug, fug, fugly, fuglier!
Hart Galleries? More like Hobby Lobby.
AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I’m dizzy.
I hope the owner never a homeowners claim, involving interior damage. This is an insurance adjuster’s nightmare.
It’s kinda like and episode of “Hoarders” for those that accumulate European baroque artworks.
I’m with KC, that’s going to be hell to pack up and move.
The decor is gaudy and over the top, but I am giving the homeowner major snaps for living in a home all his or her own. Live your dreams, buddy!
She likes it, so who cares.
I’m amazed that so much stuff would fit in 2230 square feet.
I do like that one shot of the outside.
SQUEEEEEEE!
She’s named all the bedrooms, right? I’d like to stay in the Magnolia room, but if it’s booked, I’ll happily spend an evening in the Cottonwood bedroom, instead.
My eyes!!!!
Having actually managed to get through viewing all of these photos, I’m at a loss for words except for a quote which I believe comes from Gertrude Stein, “What fresh hell is this?”
too…. much…. stuff…..
