House for sale in Washington looks typical — but some say inside is ‘chaos.’ See it
A house tucked away on 14 acres in Liberty Lake, Washington, is drawing attention on a popular real estate social media page thanks to its … well, interesting … interior.
Interesting in that you can feel like you’ve been swept away to have dinner in France. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom house is listed for $1.25 million and comes with some vivifying views of the surrounding mountains and treetops.
“Nestled amidst serene surroundings, this enchanting residence offers a fusion of creativity charm and practical elegance,” the listing on Zillow.com describes. “As you step through the door, you’re greeted by the captivating allure of a Parisian cafe’, transporting you to the romantic streets of Paris.”
That’s right, Paris. As in France. Not Texas.
The kitchen has been delightfully altered to look like the back area of a cafe, while the small table and chairs are set up near the staircase that’s lined by (what looks like) surreal paintings of buildings along the wall. Branches of a weeping willow cascade down from the ceiling above the couches in the family room, giving the appearance of a sunlit field.
The rest of the house is decorated somewhat the same, with ivy traveling down random corners, elephants that steal the show on walls, silk flowers that add splashes of color on countertops and so much more.
There’s also multiple deck areas and a loft in the primary suite.
Because of the Parisian feel, the 3,565-square-foot residence was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and X (formerly Twitter) account that highlights interesting houses for sale around the country.
“I’m thinking a set designer may have lived here,” one person said on Facebook.
“It’s like a prototype of the Rainforest Cafe: Paris Edition,” another joked.
“I lived in the (Pacific Northwest) for 3 years. I get making the house fun. Too many months of rain,” someone pointed out.
“It’s very niche, and sort of weird, but I’m also sort of liking it. Maybe not the light pole, though. I’d be tempted to break into singing in the rain,” one person commented.
“This is chaotic,” someone noted on X.
“I like the concept. I do not like the execution,” another said.
“I felt the chaos energy of that kitchen and wanted to shut the app,” one person posted.
Liberty Lake is about a 295-mile drive east from Seattle.
