… I don’t hate it. Needs some updating of course.
Jfc i can already smell it
Astroturf maybe? Would make a little more sense than carpet.
Omg looks like my uncle’s house. Is this in NJ?
Duluth, MN. Are you saying your uncle has a dungeon pool?
Well, it’s an indoor pool in the basement and takes up like the entire room, and isn’t very big, and for a beautiful old house with indoor pool, for some reason is has that fake green grass around it.
Ah! That does sound like a match!
Mmm mold
I always wondered what was inside this room.

Honestly I dig it, but don’t think I’d love in it
Idk, clean that pool, mount a flatscreen, hang some art, add a touch lamp, small table and chairs and some plants
…AND COMPLETELY REDO THE FLOOR…
it would be pretty nice!
What would really be cool is putting those touch lamps all the way around the pool so you can just turn on whichever one is more convenient.
The bottom of the house shows its rusting in places. No thanks.
Its also on .39 acres. That’s a tiny lot where I come from.
It’s neat, but the amount of insulating and refurbishing that house needs would probably be about $400k .

I finally figured out how to post the link in the original description!

I’d love to live in it, but I’d probably hate to own it. There’s a few pictures from below and you can see some of the metal on the bottom is rusting out. I’m sure this thing needs some serious maintenance, not including the indoor pool thing.
I love like 90% of this house and other than the pool, everything I don’t like could be easily changed. Now to find $600,000 and a desire to live in Duluth. I think the money would be easier.
Me too, friend. Me too.
It’s a very interesting choice but some part of me was incredibly envious when I saw the first picture of a fucking brook running under the house in the middle of a forest. But then I got to the next pictures and of course they completely ruined it.
Cold climate?
How the fuck are you supposed to heat that thing? It’s designed like a heat sync, is all open plan and windows, and looks to be insulated with corrugated iron.
Built in 1959, no surprise. Probably thought they’d be able to start phase 3 and go nuclear powered within the decade.
But hey, on the plus side there’s a brook running through the foundations.
Probably the reason it’s empty and probably has been for years
Try not to drown getting out of that pool in the shallow end…
The right hand side has that 90 degree angle piece- those are stairs to the shallow end.
This room has committee many sins but alas that is not one.
I’d just rather have an egress on all edges of the pool myself. It seems hazardous to have one edge of the pool completely blocked off by a high wall.
EDIT: Two and a quarter edges, my bad.
I fully expect the deep end to be a pit and, tied to the ladder is a rope on which dangles a basket containing lotion.
I don’t think that’s carpet, I think it’s linoleum or something similar. It looks like it has a no-slip raised pattern.
I was hoping it wasn’t carpet, but I think it’s durable textured carpet. https://gocarpetcleaningatlanta.com/about-textured-carpet/ There are better photos of the pool area in this article: https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/erickson-home-midcentury-minnesota-steel-bridge/ This house intrigues me. I love it but also don’t. Also, per the article, the current owner has never filled the pool, so the agent says the condition and functionality of it are uncertain.
It sure looks kind of fluffy over the raised circular cover.
That’s just the mold
Maybe. Really, it’s too small a photo to tell.
I thought you were right about the linoleum. But if you follow the link OP posted in the comments you can see the photo in better quality. I’m afraid it does look like carpet to me.
Ew.
We have indoor pool at home.
