<\/a><\/p>\nPhoto: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Our first listing<\/a> hails out of Elmore, AL and features a \u201cwonderful home with 4 complete bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an office that could be another room due to size.\u201d The accompanying photos \u2014 most of which were aligned sideways \u2014 include such gaffes as the homeowner\u2019s reflection caught in a bathroom mirror, an unacceptably messy living room, and an oddly misplaced toddler.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Still, we\u2019re wondering why the homeowner didn\u2019t photograph the office space after such a build-up in their listing description. We couldn\u2019t help but feel cheated by this listing.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The homeowner of this<\/a> fully-furnished home in Shelby, AL tempts promises that \u201cperfect lake nights happen here.\u201d The three-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a lake front and is a dream for the fisherman in us all. The included home furnishings appear a bit outdated, despite the home itself receiving multiple \u201crecent\u201d upgrades and updates.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Still, the outdoor action shot of a row of ducks on the lake managed to tickle our funny bones, not to mention the wall-mounted fish that resemble something you might find hanging on the wall of your favorite pub. You know, the singing bass?<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This Wetumpka, AL listing<\/a> features an assortment of photos dating back to November 2013. It\u2019s unclear if the three-bedroom home has seen any updates or upgrades since, or if the \u201cbig\u201d living room and dining room combo is still perfect for \u201cintertaining.\u201d More pressing, we\u2019re wondering if the homeowner has emptied the dishwasher yet or not. These are the thoughts that keep us up late at night.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Judging by the photos, the homeowner of this<\/a> three-bedroom Hoover, AL home is clearly a movie buff. A framed Marlon Brando poster hangs in the rec room and a large print of legendary film director Alfred Hitchcock adorns a wall in one of the home\u2019s bedrooms. We noticed a tad bit of irony here \u2014 Hitch is photographed with one of his famed \u201cbirds,\u201d while on a neighboring wall a bird is artfully depicted locked in a cage. We\u2019re not sure what the homeowner was getting it with their vision, but we liked their style. We\u2019d like to make them an offer on their home they can\u2019t refuse, as Brando famously said.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Our next listing<\/a> hails from Sylacauga, AL, and is billed as an ideal set-up for a large family or live-in in-laws. The five-bedroom, three-bath 3,334-square-foot home recently was completely remodeled. The homeowner further allures us with promises of \u201ccoffee on the front covered porch in the morning for sunrise and cocktails on the rear elevated deck for beautiful sunsets,\u201d but doesn\u2019t say who will be serving said beverages. Our favorite moment in this listing comes courtesy of the homeowner\u2019s thumb making an appearance in an otherwise acceptable exterior picture of the home.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This Buffalo, WY listing<\/a> features a three-bedroom, two-bath \u201cbeautifully cared for log sided home with wrap around porch.\u201d The 1,260 square foot home boasts new fencing and a working well. The cluttered kitchen wasn\u2019t listing as a selling point, nor was the homeowner\u2019s strange collection of toy horses.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n We\u2019re curious if the horses were also beautifully cared for, or neigh.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This listing<\/a> from Cody, WY is billed by the homeowner as \u201cgreat for country living at its finest.\u201d The 1,000-square-foot, three-bedroom home sits on nearly two acres of lands and includes mature apple trees. However, it also boasts one of the most hideous bathrooms we\u2019ve ever seen. It looks as though the nauseating shade of lime might just glow in the dark or be the result of a toxic accident.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n The kitchen is equally disconcerting thanks to the misguided placement of a washing machine that makes cabinet access nearly impossible. Organic apples or not, we\u2019ll pass on this one.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This<\/a> two-bedroom cottage in Harbor Springs, MI boasts a stone island with granite countertops, and \u201cold fashioned\u201d sink and custom cabinetry. A built-in sound system lets you unwind to your favorite tunes anywhere in the 1,600-square-foot home. But our favorite amenity is the reading material the homeowners provided in one of the bedrooms, perfect for snuggling on a cold winter\u2019s night. Who says romance is dead?<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n This<\/a> Zionsville, IN four-bedroom, three-bath home is an \u201cabsolute dream,\u201d says its homeowners. It features a \u201cgorgeous\u201d kitchen, \u201celegant\u201d living room and dining room, as well as a basement that \u201cwill drive away your winter blues\u201d \u2014 although we\u2019re not exactly sure how. However, for all its charms, nothing makes us more nervous than a bathroom with a nearly empty roll of toilet paper. There\u2019s literally nothing more panic-inducing than reaching for toilet tissue and being greeted instead by a cardboard insert. Not cool, homeowners!<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n Our next listing<\/a> features a three-bedroom farmhouse in Lebanon, IN. The homeowner does a precise job of breaking down where the 2,600 square feet go, for example: \u201c1586 mail level with large kitchen dinning area open to living room.\u201d Additionally, the home\u2019s barn area has \u201cplenty of room for all off your toys or equipment.\u201d But instead of dazzling us with a plethora of photos, the homeowner instead chose to give us photos of photos \u2014 well, inkjet computer printouts, to be exact.<\/p>\n Photo: forsalebyowner.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n And a charming screenshot. Seems totally legit though, right?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n2. This listing has all its ducks\u2026<\/h2>\n
