You Can’t Walk Around Naked, But You Should Get This House Anyway

Share News:

Some people are never-nudes and barely disrobe to shower. Others feel just fine walking around in only what their mamas gave them — but just in their bedrooms and bathrooms. And then there are those that just wanna let their freak flags (and everything else, since nothing is uh, strapped down) fly and walk around naked throughout their home.

Today’s Wednesday WTF is not the house for you if you fall into the latter category.

Now, I know sometimes (OK, most of the time) a home featured in the Wednesday WTF is something you might want to poke with a stick, but you don’t want to live in it because it might hurt you. But other times, the Wednesday WTF is more like, “WTF, that’s awesome.”

This is awesome. But you still can’t run around naked in it.

The home today is in Monkton, Maryland. Built in 1990, it clocks in at 5,754 square feet and has five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. For all the gorgeousness and the lot size (4 acres), it with an extremely reasonable $1.7 million price tag.

The listing description:

Newly renovated top to bottom in 2018 with no detail overlooked including automatic Lutron shades throughout for privacy and light & climate control, this architectural masterpiece sits on over 4 landscaped acres and boasts spectacular views of nature from every room, including Gunpowder river views in the fall and winter.

Seriously, this house is gorgeous. The property is gorgeous. I would live here in a heartbeat and just invest in robes. But there are a few questions I have.

  1. How do you not wake up blinded at the crack of dawn every morning?

2. What if you don’t want Bambi (come on, you know he’s a freak) to watch you take a bubble bath?

3. Is having a playroom surrounded by windows kind of like having glass fronts on your kitchen cabinet doors, which means you can’t store your Dickey’s cups there, only the good toys? So like if your kid comes home with some kind of dollar store awful, you have to relegate that toy to somewhere else in the house, like a secret third playroom where there is no light or windows and all the misfit toys go there and only the good toys go in the fancy playroom?

    The description mentions “automatic Lutron shades” so perhaps they are recessed above the windows? I see Costco purchases of window cleaner… And do birds fly into all these windows? How to stop that from happening? This listing creates a lot of questions!

    A great many false assumptions in this write-up. I wouldn’t want to pay the heating bill in winter!
