'Greatest House Listing Of All Time' For Bizarre Property Goes Viral

Looking through listings of glamorous properties that you'll never be able to afford is a pastime that can be both pleasurable and tortuous in equal measure.

But if your searching led you to this pretty unremarkable property in Pittsburgh, USA, you would probably flick right past it. That, however, would be a big mistake.

As you scroll through the ad, the pictures of the back garden and the interior reveal that the first impression of the property belies its far from ordinary character.

Twitter user @frazierapproves exposed the madness to the world in a thread yesterday (Monday) which has since been retweeted more than 21,000 times:

Things don't stop escalating there either, with the property also home to some kind of inexplicable indoor beach area:

So, what in the name of all that is holy is going on here?

Well, allow this not at all dizzying overview to explain:

"Do you like Fun & Adventure? See this One of a Kind Brick Ranch, Converted into a 2 Story. Enter the Door to a 13th Century Castle Décor Sunken Living Rm, w/ Dramatic, High, Oak Beamed Ceiling, Hardwood Floor, Brick Fireplace, a Ladder to an Elevated Library.

"Time Travel at Warp Speed to the 25th Century Starship. A Talking Space Alien greets you as you walk toward the Floor to Ceiling, Outer Space Wall Mural. The Dining Rm Command Center Rear Wall opens up to the Spaceship Main Bridge-Working Computer & Controls from an Apache Helicopter, Speakers & a 55 Inch Screen (TV works). Pocket Door to the Functional "Galley Kitchen." Open the Hatch Door & you find the Laundry, Large Storage Area & Workshop.

"Take the Spiral Staircase to Explore the 2nd Floor, which has a Den Area, a Walkway & 3 Bedrooms. There's a Tropical Island Themed Bedroom & a 1970 Hippie Crash Pad Bedroom with a Queen Water Bed. Level Back Yard w/ a Pool (under warranty) and Patio Area. Beautiful Wisteria over Pergola."

Hmmm, a beautiful wisteria you say - I'll take it.

The property - and everything that comes with it - is on the market for the bargain price of $159,900 (£130,672). You can see the full 'one of a kind' listing here.
