Cambridge Home's Wild Price Tag: A $1M Misstep

2-bedroom house sparks outrage on Instagram, with commenters calling it "drunk" and anxiety-inducing.

A
Cambridge house featured on the popular social media account Zillow Gone Wild has sparked outrage among Instagram commenters. The 2 bed, 2 bath house is described as "bold and unapologetically different" in its listing, but many users found it gave them anxiety due to its unusual features. Some windows have irregular shapes or slanted directions, while others are adorned with seemingly random beams of wood.

    The house has three floors, including a loft on the top floor that offers "endless possibilities." However, some commenters joked about the home's quirks, saying it would be unbearable for those with OCD. Others made light of its unusual design elements, such as a side table hanging over a railing and random wood slabs on the exterior.

    Located at 549 Franklin St., Cambridge, MA 02139, near the Charles River and Harvard, the house is listed for $1,195,000 but is currently under contract. Despite its unique features, the listing describes the Riverside neighborhood as "vibrant" and "close-knit," with "tree-lined streets and top-tier accessibility."
