Minimalist design is nice, but if you’re over everything being pared down to the essentials, this home for sale in Mount Washington, Pennsylvania might just be for you. The pricey pad — listed at a cool $1,699,900 — takes maximalist design to an entirely new level, and when you peek at the listing photos, you’ll immediately understand why these decor choices aren’t for the faint of heart.

The three-bedroom, three-bath home is, naturally, going viral on Zillow Gone Wild, and it’s all due to the over-the-top design choices in every single room of the house. The home, built in 2003, boasts plenty of enviable amenities, including a four-car garage, a heated driveway, two stone fireplaces, panoramic city views, and more. But you’ll definitely need an open mind when it comes to the unique aesthetic offerings at hand here.

First there’s the main bathroom, which is lined in a brown snakeskin printed wallpaper to the powder room, which includes an animal print shower curtain and wallpaper. In one of the bedrooms, the brown tones continue with bold floral printed wallpaper, but don’t worry, there is one pop of color to be found there in the form of an aqua blue chandelier hanging above the bed.

There’s no shortage of things to feast your eyes on in this luxe single family residence, which is certainly why Zillow Gone Wild commenters are loving it. “I always wanted to live in a Seeing Eye poster,” wrote one person. Another asked: “Does anyone have some Benadryl? I think I’m breaking out in hives.” One wrote: “I’m dizzy,” while another noted, “I’m stressed.”

A Pittsburgh native commented that the home is overpriced, writing, “I live in this neighborhood and there is absolutely zero reason to pay over a million dollars for this.”

Of course, it might just be the dream home for a buyer with splashy tastes (and a reasonably high budget), so only time will tell if the perfect buyer is around the corner waiting to scoop up this one-of-a-kind house.
