A listing for a condo in Florida is going viral after pictures were posted online showing off an unusual aspect of the decor -- the walls and ceilings of the home are covered in Budweiser beer cans.
Realtor Kristen Kearney said she initially didn't know what to expect when she received a call about listing the Lake Worth condo.
"They warned me that the home was wallpapered in beer cans," Kearney told Realtor.com. "And I thought to myself, 'Well, I wonder where in the world they found beer-can wallpaper.'"
The reality of the home turned out to be far stranger -- the "wallpaper" was actual beer cans.
Kearney said the cans cover every wall and ceiling of the home, except for the bathroom.
"If you look closely at the photos, you can really see the lengths the owner went to," Kearney said. "He even created a crown molding look with the cans."
Kearney said the condo's former owner, who is now deceased, was a lifelong fan of the Anheuser-Busch beer.
"It was his life's mission to wallpaper his home in beer cans," Kearney said, "and he did it."
The listing photos went viral online, and were posted by Budweiser's official Facebook account, which commented: "The perfect home doesn't exi..."
Kearney said the condo was originally listed for $110,000 in August, but the price was reduced to $100,000 in September. She said the price reduction, as well as the viral photos, resulted in a flood of interest in the property.
"We actually received multiple offers. It is currently under contract, and I have a backup offer as well," she said.
Budweiser?! What bad taste in decorating.
Ha! I rented a room one Summer in college at a frat house. The room they gave us had one wall similar. Acoustics were TERRIBLE. We pulled them down, to the consternation of the frat members who were still around over the Summer.
Florida man understands everything. “Hold my wall while I put up this piece of crown molding. And yes I said molding, not moulding.”
At least he’s a Yankees fan. So he has that going for him.
I would say he had a drinking problem
The ultimate re-cycle.
Not bad...it’s Florida after all.
99 cans of beer on the wall, 99 cans of beer.
Take one down, pass it around, 98 cans of beer on the wall...
How many Floridians would believe there's a mountain of palmetto bugs and lizards behind those cans?
I think purchasing this condo would make you smarter. After all, it made Budweiser.
(rimshot)
Bad taste in decorating...and beer!
If the cans were full it is the ultimate fire protection system. If the cans are empty I hope he washed them out first. Imagine the stale beer smell on a hot day.
In Michigan I remember seeing a house of bottles as a roadside attraction it was cool. The Bottle house.
I’ve not tried it myself, but have heard that Budweiser is almost drinkable after you pass it through a horse.
Hold my beer, I want to put in an offer.
Looks like a Hildy episode from Trading Spaces.
Hmmmm...interest in the property resulted in a price reduction. If there is any more interest in the property perhaps it will go for $10.
