A real estate listing for an upscale suburban Philadelphia home that includes a sex basement straight out of the “Fifty Shades of Grey” book and film series has gone viral and riled neighbors.
The five-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in Maple Glen, north of the city, was quickly noticed after it was listed for sale Thursday because of the fully furnished pleasure room inside. The colonial brick home is a “one of a kind suburban home” and has an asking price of $750,000, according to the listing.
Realtor Melissa Leonard dubbed the home “50 Shades of Maple Glen” and has since heard from angry neighbors and media groups requesting to speak with her about it.

MANY homes have them, I’ve seen some VERY nice ones....they usually don’t advertise them....unfortunately....
Slick Willie might be interested.
I can envision a Jennifer Garner or Samuel L. Jackson commercial asking “What’s in YOUR basement”?
I pity couples whose love lives are so boring they feel the need to resort to gimmicks.
Who knows if it was just for them?
Then I pity couples whose love lives are so boring they feel the need to include others.
So he’s renting it out by the night/weekend and sounds like he’s making a ton $$.
Bet the neighbors were wondering about all the “visitors.”
I am a MOBILE pleasure room.....just saying. I normally do not advertise it.
Does it have marble countertops and a barn door?
Won’t sell without those.
There is a house down the street from me, 9200 Shawnee Run Road, in Indian Hill, Ohio that had a similar room. It was built by the founder of the Albers Grocery Store chain.
Apparently his first wife died and at 75 years old, he went to Las Vegas where he met a 21 year old showgirl. They were married for a few years until he wore himself out and died.
The widow built an extra floor within the 30’ high entryway and decorated it for “parties”. Mirrors on the ceiling, red shag carpeting, red hot tub, red bathroom fixtures (all out in the open). Couches around the perimeter.
Perfect for the 1980’s Disco Era.
She died a few years ago and the new owners restored it back to a nice home.
I had the opportunity to talk with the new owner’s dad while the tear out was happening. Absolutely crazy stories.
I bet there are a lot of homes like that around.
And I thought putting a pool table in the basement was pretty risky.
“Sex basement”?
What’s that for?
Some of us are just a little bit wet behind the ears. /smirk.
"Forget it. We're getting dozens of calls."
Great googlie ooglies!
I know that house!
I used to deliver pizzas to that house!
I thought she was just a good tipper.
We were at a party at some friends house about 15 years ago. One of the other guys there said to come with him because he wanted to show me something. He took me down to this guys sex dungeon. It was bizarre. We never hung out with those people again.
I don’t get it. Is it just a basement, or a sub basement underneath the actual basement?
I guess I missed something. Anybody can use any room of a house for any activity. Why was this basement standing out from other basements in other houses?
Who is the woman in the pictures? The listing agent?
Slick Willie might be interested.
So would Virginia’s Lt Governor!
