Drop what you are doing and look at this house. Look at the pictures, especially starting with picture #31.
I do have to say picture #48 is an epic no. Not judging but no. Just no.
And coup de grâce: “House is being sold furnished. “
UPDAtE: They took the pics down at Redfin, but the Zillow link still works.
Well, that’s 10 minutes of my life I won’t get back…
For those that missed the pictures, Imgur has them and here’s the link: https://imgur.com/gallery/pPVHEMN
All I can say is… TMI
I appreciate. Author Lord’s comments on hygiene. Never entered my mind and excellent points. Also the loupe cage comment was perfect. Now thinking about hygiene I discovered a beauty salon in our little country town was monthly club night for BDSM ?. Maybe? .Found out when my electrician mentioned they did electrical sex play ?? There and caused block wide power outages. I swear I don’t know one dang thing about anything! Big world.
On my news feed this afternoon: a site called “ScaryMommy” had this story also, with the comment of “tasteful sex den”….
Hope the animal skin rugs are fakes, because if not, that’s sad decor.
Re: the architecture – the ’90’s had some really awful trends, like teardowns/McMansion rebuilds that ruined a lot of suburbia, and entire subdivisions that sprouted out of farmland. Went to some house tours in the Chicago far west suburbs, and all the “model” house were built like that. Very sterile and unlivable, despite the frantic efforts of the interior design companies. Was glad I lived in a house with personality, despite the problems of being an older house – 1940’s bungalow style.
I went to scarymommy to see what everyone was talking about. I have no words for what I saw! Did you notice all the wood was stained the same color? Ugggggghhhhh!
Pictures only go to #39 now. No picture #48 any more.
I missed out on seeing them. ?
Me too. *sigh*. All I see is that gorgeous kitchen.
Scary Mommy has the photos. https://www.scarymommy.com/zillow-listing-sex-den/
Saw them, it’s just hysterically funny that somewhere out there there are some misguided sellers who thought that a personal dungeon would be a selling point. On the other hand a canny buyer should be able to get a huge price reduction for taking the property off their hands. Just think a blessing by your pastor to cleanse the space and bargain……..
The Buzz has the missing pics….
50 Shades indeed.

me too!
Terrible Real Estate Photos has the removed pics. (Also where I first saw it)
Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos, sorry
I work for an appraisal company and have seen some … interesting things over the years. Sex dungeons, walls covered with pictures of men’s rear ends, a house we were pretty sure they were making “those” kind of movies, chemistry labs, sex toys set out as sculptures, and special hot houses. Then there are the really weird ones – the house where the guy turned the master bathroom into a chicken coop, of the horse that was allowed into the kitchen, hoarder homes, the house filled with china dolls … I could go on and on. Thankfully I don’t have to go into the homes – I just see the photos that were taken. The appraisers have the hardest part, they have to remain completely neutral and evaluate the home based on construction aspects, etc., not so much on the decor. I just have to go through and blur out anything that might be inappropriate. Sometimes there is A LOT of blurring! lol
Terrible Real Estate Agent Photos still has the all time worst, IMO.
The “Nazi house” – an entire shower wall turned into a tile Nazi flag.
My husband is a mailman in Ambler, and this is not far from his route. In fact, we lived in Maple Glen when we first got married…although our house was a fraction of the size of this one! A sex “dungeon” is definitely not what I’d expect to find in a Maple Glen McMansion, and certainly not listed as a selling point in an MLS LISTING! lol Now I’ve got to find out who in the world owns this house!
It appears that I’ve missed the interesting bits.
The full images are up on the agent’s website.

The real mvp ?
Thank you, and OMG LOL. “Currently being rented to private parties for $2000 on weekend nights.”
Ew?
Geez I thought I was the only one who saw that. I can’t even. Eeewwww.
First I was sad because I showed up too late to the party to see the pics on Redfin and Zillow… then I tracked them down on buzzfeed and wished I could scrub my eyes with windex (used as an Airbnb?? O_O There is no cleaning that could make that place safe for multiple users). So of course I shared it with my family and friends, who now either hate me or want to plan a trip to see the sex house (in full hazmat suits). Thanks Ilona, you made my day! 😀
I don’t know why but I looked through the “edited” version first and thought “a serial killer lived there” don’t know why just a gut response. Also 5 bedrooms and 2.5 baths? Not cool.
My second thought exactly! (First was, “so that’s what one of those look like…interesting”. More showers, tubs, sinks, and toilets needed! Especially with the activities available there! Or maybe it’s “ Share, Share! That’s Fair!”
Sometimes I just like to compare number of comments per post. For example, the curly hair posting got way more comments than this one. Or the book birthday. The hair one really moved the bdh to respond!
The key element here to me is “used”. Like over and over again. If you are into that why wouldn’t you want something new and not preowned? And think of the residual energy in that house. I’d say it needs cleaning in more ways than one.
Fwiw, this Twitter thread provides interesting commentary.
You have to have some courage to post pictures of your house when you have a “sex dungeon” (BDH you’re killing me haha) or just be unashamed. Option two is kind of cool, we shouldn’t be ashamed of who we are after all.
Wow looks like the house of my dreams. Wink wink. Everything is beautiful and so much space. Now that that’s said it’s also the house of my nightmare! How in the hell to you keep something like that clean. I know most people would place back clean service but really. My lasy dome and future dime would be spent buying. C’est la vie

The EDITED pictures can be found on Daily Mail out of the UK.

So you’re afraid of exercise equipment? I don’t get it. It can be sanitized…
Nah that’s easier to sanitizer. The pictures have been curated to remove the BDSM dungeon in the other side of the basement. The furniture might be sanitizeable but not so much floggers etc. The post isn’t shaming the dungeon concept, more the fully furnished implies existing toys.
Oy. I like looking at house listings to see what might be available if I moved somewhere…not likely but interesting. The sex club ambiance is not for me, but there are so many things wrong in that house. Most of the bedrooms look small, no closets to speak of, too many stairs, kitchen has pretty cabinets but really the space is not big enough to cook in for ten people…. Not to mention no doors on the bedrooms and no bookshelves anywhere. The decor is dated, boring, and inconsistent. Old Mediterranean dining chairs and a badly cared for dining table with black Naugahyde stools at the breakfast bar???
I grew up on Long Island many (many many!) years ago and a lot of my friends had houses like this. Not me, but I have no problem with it. However, the pictures only went to 39, not 48. Picture #31 was of the kitchen table. So I wonder what Ilona was looking at?
As far as the bedroom goes someone must read a lot of Laurell K Hamilton.
LOL. I used to read LKH, but I gave her up a few years ago when the books got to be more sex than story.
I keep wondering what type of housewarming gifts the neighbors will show up with when the house finally sells. ?
I love old houses but I think they ruined this one. For example; painted woodwork, can lights, exposed brick. I could go on and on. I missed all the fun pics ☹
Welll…..does this mean we now know what the bouda clan house looked like?
???
I guess so too??
That star of David whipping post? Did they mean it to be a pentagram and didn’t know the difference, or…? I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Definitely a sex party space. Hopefully the lights all have dimmers The photos are still up on Twitter; that’s how I found them. The nicest things about that house are the gazebo and patio.
But who puts carpet out on their patio? Weird.
It’s all about perspective. On the RH author pages, everyone is critiquing the equipment and trying to rearrange the dungeon for better flow ???
Who is “RH”?
RH stands for Reverse Harem. They’re the authors who write books that tend to have 1 female main character with 3 or more men in a permanent relationship. Many of those books contain adult themes and “equipment” that would be used in a home like this.
I want to know if they have kids. If yes – do they know what their parents do????? Talk about scarring childhood
I seem to remember a CSI program along those lines…..
I want to know if they have kids. If yes – do they know what their parents do????? Talk about scarring childhood.
I’m seeing a lot of sex shaming and judgment here. I expect better of the BDH.
See my comment above about unsafe BDSM practices, responsible use of sex toys, and why one should not run an AirBnb business with a sex dungeon in it.
OMG! Missed the pics of dungeon, but house is just not right. The staging is aweful. All those weird angles.
But, oh my– the house just made the news here in NY! I just saw that BDSM room. They said the listing went viral. I’m just laughing now…
Even CNN picked this up. I live in the vicinity and have driven by this house. It’s such a “vanilla” area. Never would have dreamed…
CNN has even picked up on this..lol
It was in my ” 5 Things” email this morning..
It said the realtor has 38 people signed up to see it, I imagine most of them are just wanting to say they saw it in person. Then it went on to say the owner’s wife had died and he had remodeled it with his girlfriend. Said him and teenage children live there occasionally..
If nothing else it’s given the house lots of free exposure..Great marketing tactic.
