Considering the market these posts may occur on a weekly basis or less often — really it depends on what I find out there. From time to time I see Offbeat Homes up for sale but lately I’ve seem some real winners. Hence the sale kick-off.

This offbeat home listing comes from Swamplot and the home itself is located in Houston. But even if you don’t live in Houston; you’ll probably be willing to move there once you see this home.

From all outside appearances the home appears fine, even dull, not offbeat at all. Check out the yard; nice and green plus those tiny poodle trees would make a great topic of conversation.

Here are some basic home facts:

• 3200 square feet on a lovely tree-lined street
• Close to the Medical Center and Rice University
• Oversized lot
• Large rooms, including a family room
• Pool!

But most importantly there is… the wood paneling.

Let’s look at the most attractive room first; the sunroom. Not that I said the couch is attractive or for that matter the fan… or floor. Still this room is kind of light and airy feeling.

One room with wood paneling would have been ok. But they didn’t stop in the sunroom because honestly if one room of wood paneling is good than more rooms are better right?

Family Room:

Living Room: Ah, note the lovely built-ins.

Hey, at least they didn’t panel the actual fireplace.

This is the best part…

It’s like eating in a forest!

Did they have to use 813 different types of paneling? Seriously.

WTF? Below is one of those don’t ask, don’t tell sort of issues.

If you haven’t quite made up your mind yet, there are some more picture to see that could help to seal the deal.

You’ll be happy to know that all this wood panel bliss can be yours for the low, low price of just $384,777. And believe me you get more than just the wood paneling you also get piece of mind because according to the seller, “This home never flooded.” Well, bonus! I always wanted a home that never flooded.

I know most of you will be fighting over this house but no worries because if you don’t score this one it just wasn’t meant to be. Sooner or later you’ll find that dream home. If you do score this one I’m begging you to send pictures.

As previously mentioned this home came from a Swamplot listing. I’d like to thank Gus Allen, Founder and Chief Promoter of Swamplot who recently sent me an email to tell me about Swamplot. The site covers real estate in Houston and is highly amusing as well. If you want some fun I’d absolutely hit it. I spent a good long while there laughing my head off.

Hey, don’t forget…
