The House Of Many Carpet Colors

This house is astounding! Not only is it a pristinely preserved affordable 1970’s time capsule currently listed on the market for $160,000, it has the most extensive collection of colorful shag carpet – quite possibly in the world!

House Crazy Sarah is completely blown away but the sea of colorful shag carpets. Not to mention the funky lines and vintage fixtures in the house.

Here’s how the listing agent describes the home:

“You’re traveling through another dimension, into a home of design, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous home whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead – your next stop, the Sherbondy Zone.”

Some yahoo will probably come along and rip out all the cool carpet and period fixtures.

But at least we will always have these listing photos of a cool house that is just a little off the beat.
