For Sale Residential 3 Bed, 5 Bath, Built in 2004 in Reyno, AR

It’s bad from the outside, but the inside is so much worse. And it gets worse the more you look at it. So many details that are just so awful. Living in this “house” is probably miserable.

    Here’s my two shots in the dark to explain this monstrosity:

    Retired couple buys one of those workshop/huge garage and apartment combos. They decide to turn the workshop into an event space for weddings.

    They add a few conveniences for the wedding party, like a couple extra bedrooms to get ready, and a black and red honeymoon suite. The decor is hideous because retired wife is old af and it looks good to her. Retired husband sucks at DIY, like electrical and room layout, but doesn’t let small things like planning get in his way.

    Grandson works at a siding company that mainly does B2B installs and often has leftovers. Sometimes he grabs other overage from the project after talking to other tradies, like a banister here and there. Maybe an orphan cabinet base.

    Grandson wants to start his own siding business one day so he is happy to practice installs on the wedding rental building.

    Alternative: Fundie church does secret child marriages here and the couple that maintains the property is allowed to live there as well. The ugliness of the property is because they’re purely utilitarian and just need a facade of wedding shit because it’s not really about the wedding as much as it’s about keeping it on the down-low.

        Is the church still active?

        If it’s recently defunct or relocating, I’d bet this is the parsonage, assembled on a shoestring budget from the church offering, and using whatever materials they could source as absolutely cheaply as possible.

        I’m guessing that either a member of the congregation or family connection of same is a siding guy and was able to get all of this for free or obscenely cheap from somewhere, or was able to get it donated, and rather than waste it or decline what they couldn’t put on the outside, they decided to save money on drywall and paint and put it inside as well.

        Same with the furniture, etc. this just reeks of “super tight budget but with excesses in certain odd specific areas because we got it donated”.
