And of course you must be very rich huh? One of the greatest things in life is watching a very poor person work hard, educating themselves and becoming not only a wealthy professional but remembering where they came and started from. That's the true meaning of success.
Actually, I'd say it was more a a rich person who didn't dive the remotest damn about resale value and just wanted to live in his dream home. Which was considerably odder than most people's dream homes. Like, the real estate guy's advice about keeping your home impersonal to maximize market appeal is fine advice, if you think you're going to sell it one day. But if you plan on living in your house forever and/or just plain aren't going to have to worry about money? Make it yours, why not.

@@julianada1567 You don't necessarily have to be intelligent to be rich....The guy who had the house built was pimping out women... Ya it made him a lot of money but it doesn't really require a whole lot of intelligence to be a pimp.

Okay seriously, who filmed this and thought it was good? The camera movements are insanely quick for showing the inside of a room or giving an overview of a house. Absolutely frustrating to watch, with a camera man this excited.
Brian Sanders (the agent showing the Indianapolis house) is so awesome. He is so positive and optimistic, has not one unkind thing to say about the house, even though the reporter kept trying to get it out of him. What a great guy.
" You want to make sure the house is going to make you money when you sell it. " That is the biggest problem we have in this country is people expecting to make money on their home and not looking at it as a place where they are going to live.
This house sits on multiple lots, can't be separated. Has house built behind existing house, Zoning violation. He took money for insurance work then work was NEVER done. Didn't pay contractors, leans on property. Taxes owed on ALL 7 properties it sits on. Can not move in until ALL zoning violations are taken care of. Multiple city hookups, CANNOT be put on one account. Has multiple law suits and leans filed on property by neighbors. House is being sold to settle court judgement. How do I know this? I worked on the house, have friend that did appraisal on house, dealt with inspectors, saw the trial.

@@ChadDidNothingWrong I live in a house that was built before zoning and construction regulations came to our area. My garage is tiny and shared with the neighbors. The sewage lines were a mess, and had to be straightened out. Travis is right, regulation is a relatively new idea.
If there's no one who wants to live in that neighborhood who can afford the taxes and maintenance on that big house, and if there's no other rich person who likes the style of it, and if knocking it down is more expensive than the price of the empty land, then it may actually be unsellable.

This house will never sell for that price and location. It will end up being bought by a realtor for 1/5th asking price at auction. They do it all the time. Those auctions are rigged AF.
Its very likely grandfathered in. If you talk to the permit board and pay all the necessary fees they may allow it depending on the neighborhood. I mean its better than a vacant property, that stuff is terrible.
Yeah, and I kinda suspect the house was unsellable ONLY on the show, i.e. "unsell-ability" is a major plot element every property show. In addition the house was easily photographed, had memorable shape, a great view, and the decor allowed show's principals to drone on about supposedly awful 1980s style (nevermind that '80s furniture and decor is presently dethroning mid-century modern as most fashionable (and expensive) interior elements). In reality, put that house on the market at right time of year, at proper price, it would get snatched up within two weeks.
No because markets are so hot we only really have 2 major cities Toronto and Vancouver. So properties are very expensive. 1.29 million is literally a normal house under 2.5k square feet depending on area. People move about almost 100 miles out of the city to get a normal cost on a house.
Ablaikhan Bennett Even in outlying areas, of Toronto and Vancouver, the homes are ridiculously expensive. You can't get a house for less than $410,000. You can buy an apartment or condo but legit, no homes, other than dilapidated buildings.
@@DaneAraux probably selling it for so cheap as they don't live in it and have to deal with property taxes. It can be rented out, but renovations would be costly and a risky investment.
MrStaton352 I never said anything about black folk! After living within rocks through distance of three NFL players for over 15 years. I made the comment that someone from the NFL would probably like it. Maybe we could turn it into a halfway house for people coming from prison. Maybe a homeless shelter for American veterans.
That dining room would make me PUKE!!! The homes here in Santa Fe are some of thee most beautiful in the world... "Asian orient themed with a hint of circus mirrors" is just about the worst thing I could imagine!!
Our house was built in 1964 and when we bought it in 2009 it still looked like 1964 inside and out. However, that's specifically what we were looking for because we're eccentric and we collect vintage decor and furniture. Our things would look ridiculous in a modern/renovated home. You can always sell a house, just gotta wait for the right buyer.
Elena Arman-Tang a contractor could buy it, hit it for scrap, build 100 houses on the property and still not make their money back. The only cure is a torch.
I absolutely love this house. Its a photographers dream. The ability to enjoy the beauty of so many places, things, and built in art is amazing. Add plants and water features/ sounds and you have an incredible, relaxing, safe choice of areas, for a writer or business person to calm away the stress. Who hasn't wanted to curl up in a cave of sorts, with tasty treats handy, a soft thick throw, a good book and shut out all noises of the world and relax. The beauty of the "pink" staircase is no less beautiful than gazing on a reef of coral. Now going extinct. The round windows, like in a ship, give the chefs or those cooking and serving a feeling of being part of the excitement. They can be talked thru, served out of, or just looked upon. Only someone with personality and a love of all things would enjoy such beauty. The asking price is a steal even in an understated neighborhood. The rocks outside are a simple statement of rocky mountain retreat, and little time or money having to be spent on upkeep. Bet this is gorgeous with a snowfall. Only a realtor with no imagination, personality, or sense of real beauty would find so much fault and negativity with this time capsule of buildings. I would like to see the rest of the property, myself.
Agreed. I appreciate the madness of it all. It makes no sense, and I think the repulsiveness of it is what fascinates me about it. If I were super rich and wanted to stay here in Indy, I would give it a go. But I’m a bit on the artsy/eccentric side so it suits me a bit😅
I do not understand all the negative comments. The house is Beautiful. I do not care for the rocks and the Dolphin at the front of the house but the inside is very Artistic and Beautiful. Not as boring as your regular everyday build.
"keep it simple" Fuck that, if I had the kind of money to design and build my own luxury home, I'd do it my own way. I wouldn't build it in the first place if I didn't think I could afford to keep the damn thing. It's all gotta be built from stone bricks, with detailed 19th century stone masonry, hand carved wooden paneled rooms, and have an overall aristocratic/ old world feel to it.
So true. My parents once were house hunting and RAN from a house the real estate agent showed them. It was absolutely hideous: dozens and dozens of animal heads on the walls. The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs. I seriously think the designers were drunk when they had the carpets done in some houses I've seen. And the houses I saw were wayyyyy above $400k!
LaRaikaa I like that though of pre 1930s aka pre flapper and modernism construction and architecture style. I'm not into Frank Lloyd Wright ideals of post 1955 those are a turn off to me
When you drive down Kessler Blvd. You notice this house immediately, it overshadows all the other houses on the block. I believe this is the ONLY reason people are hating on it so very much. I think it is beautiful and I see it as a work of art!!! It is in a perfect location if you ask me.
Honestly, I doubt if you could get that much out of it. It would cost a fortune to redo or even take down and resell the property. Its a money loser no matter what....unless you are as whacked as the former owner and actually like that mess.....
As someone who lives in Asia, I can tell you that looks like a typical wealthy Chinese owned and designed house. They would gobble that tacky thing up!
yup... look in the left hand corner of the first photo www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/4923-Kessler-Boulevard-East-Dr_Indianapolis_IN_46220_M30524-17992#photo21
Visit some of Liberace's houses. I've toured one and couldn't believe how hideous it looked. I seriously think he had an army of interior designers who wouldn't agree on what to do so he let them design each room....
With all those lion features, maybe it would be the actual dream home just purrrrfect for your flamboyant Leo type who just loves entertaining, and has the cash to splash. Hope home and home lover find each other.
Just do a redesign on the existing stonework (using facades/coverings, paint, etc.), and fill the "fish tank" holes, etc. I think the realors are too close to the tree to see the forest (architectural possibilities). Anypoot, nice post. T'anks! 8^)
I think to redesign this to the standards of anyone with even a tiny bit of class would cost more than a new build would. If all other homes are selling for 150k or under, you could easily buy a lot & build a stunning home to your specifications for less than the cost of a remodel.
The interior detail is strange, yes. However, it’s not to bad and the price is rather good. Just put in some changes and it’ll be a nice house. The architecture isn’t too bad. Hell I’d buy it!
Former pimp explains it all, you would need to find someone rich with zero taste to buy this place. Hmmmm someone comes to mind but he’s in a different house for a few years.
Yeah! Although more practically you want to see if you can do both. Make it so its a solid house, but with a personalized veneer. Then when it comes time to sell, you remove all the veneer pieces.
EXACTLY "Yeah but I’m not gonna make my house look cookie cutter just so it can sell afterwards. You live there everyday, add a dolphin fountain if you want."

Deal
I bet you expect $4.99 change outta that $5:P
Someone needs to buy it, demolish the house, and build a neighborhood park...
Leslie knope would LOVE the opportunity to make that into a park.
James Dooling who? Bill gates
Danny A Bro, 1 million 300k isn’t a lot of money. You don’t understand why they’re selling it so cheap.
LOL.........no
@@DaneAraux probably selling it for so cheap as they don't live in it and have to deal with property taxes. It can be rented out, but renovations would be costly and a risky investment.
I’m sure somebody from the NFL would love to live there
My first thought was that it was the brainchild of a football player.
I was thinking Detroit Lions perhaps somebody from the Miami Dolphins would like it. Snicker snicker.
Nope sorry. Can't put this one on the "dumb black athletes." The owner was white.
MrStaton352 I never said anything about black folk! After living within rocks through distance of three NFL players for over 15 years. I made the comment that someone from the NFL would probably like it. Maybe we could turn it into a halfway house for people coming from prison. Maybe a homeless shelter for American veterans.
The owner was a millionaire pimp. That's like the black CEO.
I love how she has on Uggs with her suit. Pretty down to earth.
That dining room would make me PUKE!!! The homes here in Santa Fe are some of thee most beautiful in the world... "Asian orient themed with a hint of circus mirrors" is just about the worst thing I could imagine!!
ahhh and all paid for by the hardworking whores of indianappolis.... Perfect!
lol. if you turn that into a walk in closet it would be interesting and more sensible?
I'm pretty sure that someone, somewhere finds the homes in Santa Fe to be butt-ugly...
I dont think they would sell, BUT... they could probably approach movie studios and get paid to use the properties as filming locations.
Our house was built in 1964 and when we bought it in 2009 it still looked like 1964 inside and out. However, that's specifically what we were looking for because we're eccentric and we collect vintage decor and furniture. Our things would look ridiculous in a modern/renovated home. You can always sell a house, just gotta wait for the right buyer.
Some people are so poor all they have is money
I'll take that
i like money
@@EnergeticWaves But does money love you, hun?
i think so, i have everything i want
Exactly.
Everything came together when they mentioned the guy who build it was a Pimp 😂 it explains a lot
It's like it was designed by someone who wanted the same mansion as Hugh Hefner, but without ever seeing the real Playboy mansion.
Is a decent size house for 1 million. But it is very out of place. And looks like it should be in a gated community
Jeremy Bulger it looks like it should be knocked down
Code Name definitely! A contractor should buy it, tear it down and build 3 homes similar to the ones in the neighbourhood!
Elena Arman-Tang a contractor could buy it, hit it for scrap, build 100 houses on the property and still not make their money back. The only cure is a torch.
Gated community or pointed and laughed at by all?
@Code Name
Agree. It's UGLY.
only 1mil for that mansion? thats cheap compared to where i live.
Oops..."live in California", not "like".
Same my neighbors house is $2.5 million. I live in Connecticut.
Right but this is suburban indianapolis in an area where the median house price is 150K. This house is incredibly expensive if you consider that
Yep. My house costs more and it's much smaller.
For Indiana it's pretty expensive. And more than anything, it's ugly AF. You'd end up spend just s
Honestly i think these are cool as hell id definitely buy em if i had the money it’s such great character i love the creativity in em
It's a man cave, and strip joint in one. 😄
The woman at the start was sharp.....Its minus 10 and thre are dolphins covered in snow........Wow....You are really on it
I absolutely love this house. Its a photographers dream. The ability to enjoy the beauty of so many places, things, and built in art is amazing. Add plants and water features/ sounds and you have an incredible, relaxing, safe choice of areas, for a writer or business person to calm away the stress. Who hasn't wanted to curl up in a cave of sorts, with tasty treats handy, a soft thick throw, a good book and shut out all noises of the world and relax. The beauty of the "pink" staircase is no less beautiful than gazing on a reef of coral. Now going extinct. The round windows, like in a ship, give the chefs or those cooking and serving a feeling of being part of the excitement. They can be talked thru, served out of, or just looked upon. Only someone with personality and a love of all things would enjoy such beauty. The asking price is a steal even in an understated neighborhood. The rocks outside are a simple statement of rocky mountain retreat, and little time or money having to be spent on upkeep. Bet this is gorgeous with a snowfall. Only a realtor with no imagination, personality, or sense of real beauty would find so much fault and negativity with this time capsule of buildings. I would like to see the rest of the property, myself.
Im glad im not the only one who liked the house.
Wow.. What a love letter to the house!v_v
LOL
Agreed. I appreciate the madness of it all. It makes no sense, and I think the repulsiveness of it is what fascinates me about it. If I were super rich and wanted to stay here in Indy, I would give it a go. But I’m a bit on the artsy/eccentric side so it suits me a bit😅
Simple don’t build big houses in normal neighborhoods. Now they just need to drop the price about half and someone will buy it
btvbrndn they need to burn it and someone will buy it
I love the stone bedroom and all the lion sculptures. I guess I have no taste too😂
john jon 😂😂 I like stone. It reminds me of a castle.
Lol
I do not understand all the negative comments. The house is Beautiful. I do not care for the rocks and the Dolphin at the front of the house but the inside is very Artistic and Beautiful. Not as boring as your regular everyday build.
"keep it simple" Fuck that, if I had the kind of money to design and build my own luxury home, I'd do it my own way. I wouldn't build it in the first place if I didn't think I could afford to keep the damn thing. It's all gotta be built from stone bricks, with detailed 19th century stone masonry, hand carved wooden paneled rooms, and have an overall aristocratic/ old world feel to it.
You keep it simple for resale value.
So true. My parents once were house hunting and RAN from a house the real estate agent showed them. It was absolutely hideous: dozens and dozens of animal heads on the walls. The wood was just u g l y: the color and grain looked bad. The carpet was just as tacky. I would never go fancy, not even a bit. True, some wouldn't like seeing blank white and gray walls but it'll save money too. I also don't understand why people buy the weirdest, craziest carpet designs. I seriously think the designers were drunk when they had the carpets done in some houses I've seen. And the houses I saw were wayyyyy above $400k!
Money has this funny thing about coming and going, be careful about thinking it will always be there.
LaRaikaa lol then be prepared to have some one never buy you house
LaRaikaa I like that though of pre 1930s aka pre flapper and modernism construction and architecture style. I'm not into Frank Lloyd Wright ideals of post 1955 those are a turn off to me
I just love the tackiness of it!👑 Living there would be fantastic -you can't help but laugh and grin at such spot on bad taste 😆.
More proof that $$$ can't buy taste.
spinalcrackerbox biggest debate for years
$1,2000,000.00 would buy a fixer-upper home where I live. Some people
have more money than taste...this house is grotesque!
1'2000'000? That isn't even a number.
You probably meant 12.000.000 or 1.200.000. You can actually find accounting classes for $30 on Udemy. Something to consider ?
Maybe the owner was related to Liberace... :D
Jeanne90275 $1,295,000.
Where do you live, Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco or something?? Most places houses are much cheaper.
When you drive down Kessler Blvd. You notice this house immediately, it overshadows all the other houses on the block. I believe this is the ONLY reason people are hating on it so very much. I think it is beautiful and I see it as a work of art!!! It is in a perfect location if you ask me.
Christina Johnson Seriously?? Lol Ok, support the pimp and his vision of his f*ck parties. I just can’t. 😂😂
Oh come on fellas...
It's hilarious. You don' t know quite what will hit you next..
Tacky yes. Unique yes. Interesting. Definitely
Christina Johnson I totally agree 💯%
Suck in some more oxygen dear. You're hallucinating!
Sell it for $799.99
trevor welch Fuck that! I ain't paying no more than $59.99.
$1.00 is the min for me.
Honestly, I doubt if you could get that much out of it. It would cost a fortune to redo or even take down and resell the property. Its a money loser no matter what....unless you are as whacked as the former owner and actually like that mess.....
Looks like something a reality show would film in. It would be perfect! They all looked goofy as hell.
As someone who lives in Asia, I can tell you that looks like a typical wealthy Chinese owned and designed house. They would gobble that tacky thing up!
The city should just seize it and make it a tourist attraction/museum lol "Big Pimpin': Indianapolis Style Museum" lol
Ive driven by this place so many times and heard so many crazy stories about previous owners and have never seen inside until now, really cool.
This video was 4 years ago, I wonder if it ever sold?
zh11147 Thanks zh!
did it?
no it hasn’t hahaa. i live in indy rt near it
no one wants to buy it
yup... look in the left hand corner of the first photo www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/4923-Kessler-Boulevard-East-Dr_Indianapolis_IN_46220_M30524-17992#photo21
The epitome of bad taste if you ask me?.
Visit some of Liberace's houses. I've toured one and couldn't believe how hideous it looked. I seriously think he had an army of interior designers who wouldn't agree on what to do so he let them design each room....
That is the tackiest thing I've ever seen!
william harper this is a statement?..
Good taste is a middle-class concept. The very poor and the very rich have garish tastes.
This house definitely belongs on the McMansion Hell blog.
With all those lion features, maybe it would be the actual dream home just purrrrfect for your flamboyant Leo type who just loves entertaining, and has the cash to splash. Hope home and home lover find each other.
poppey potter Was p
Buy it and then pull it down, then divide up the lot and sell the plots.
Puzzoozoo but that’s not even worth $150,000 and you have to pay to demolish. You would lose over a million dollars in it!
Tacky and oggly house!
Really represents the personality of the original owner!
guy at 6:54 was like nope!
Just do a redesign on the existing stonework (using facades/coverings, paint, etc.), and fill the "fish tank" holes, etc. I think the realors are too close to the tree to see the forest (architectural possibilities). Anypoot, nice post. T'anks! 8^)
I think to redesign this to the standards of anyone with even a tiny bit of class would cost more than a new build would. If all other homes are selling for 150k or under, you could easily buy a lot & build a stunning home to your specifications for less than the cost of a remodel.
The interior detail is strange, yes. However, it’s not to bad and the price is rather good. Just put in some changes and it’ll be a nice house. The architecture isn’t too bad. Hell I’d buy it!
I actually like it..lol.
Former pimp explains it all, you would need to find someone rich with zero taste to buy this place. Hmmmm someone comes to mind but he’s in a different house for a few years.
Lol lol lol
arent you obsessed. Trump's little finger is richer than you.
got millions from his father by the time he was 20. that helps
@@LurkMe
Mar y Lago?
I think you're talking about yourself but I don't know if you're rich. But you clearly have zero taste
wow 1.3M...here in Vancouver that will get you a tear down at best.
I was up there in the Richmond area I think it's called. Yeah, 4 million and it needs work
4:16 is GORGEOUS!
Good lord that's so downright hideous I'd call it a teardown.
Holy crap compared to a home in California.... THIS IS SO CHEAP! Dang our real estate market...
2:20 "whith a hint of surface mirrors". the ảrt òf understatement
Yeah but I’m not gonna make my house look cookie cutter just so it can sell afterwards. You live there everyday, add a dolphin fountain if you want.
If you can afford to lose money on it then I say go for it! Or if you never plan to leave.
The dolphin fountain is a keeper though. If anything, the overuse of stone and messed up double stairs have to go
Amen! Gray, gray, and gray looks AWFUL anyway. Live your life in COLOR.
Yeah! Although more practically you want to see if you can do both. Make it so its a solid house, but with a personalized veneer. Then when it comes time to sell, you remove all the veneer pieces.
EXACTLY
"Yeah but I’m not gonna make my house look cookie cutter just so it can sell afterwards. You live there everyday, add a dolphin fountain if you want."
That house could be the perfect Haunted House on Halloween !! 👻😂
That realtor is giving it his best, man :)))))))
Money doesn’t necessarily buy taste.
I liked the boat shaped house in Bel-Air ... the problem is I just don’t have millions of dollars 😞
I love all the stone!
