The two-storey property, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is on the market for $159,000 and has garnered attention from social media users around the world after the listing was shared on Twitter by American user frazierapproves.

The house, built in 1969, was advertised by real estate website Zillow, where it was viewed more than a million times in just two days after being posted, according to Bored Panda. 

The three-bedroom property mixes different design influences, from 13th century castle aesthetic in the sunken living-room to outer space in the dining-room. 

A large space mural hangs from the ceiling to the floor of the property, and the space theme is carried through the dining room, which is decorated with a spaceship command board.  

It is equipped with speakers, a 55 inch TV, which works, a ‘gallery kitchen’ which a suspicious door with a turning lock leading to a laundry room, with plenty of storage.

Speaking about his discovery to Bored Panda, the Twitter user said: ‘I live in Pittsburgh and came across the listing via my local subreddit. The front exterior photo is completely unremarkable. It’s very typical of the 1960s Suburban Pittsburgh housing vernacular… particularly in the eastern suburbs. 

‘That’s the kind of home they built for middle-class families in the last days of steel. The first surprise came with the photos of the backyard. 

‘Not only is the yard larger than one would suspect, but swimming pools are exceedingly rare in this region, due to the hilly topography and small window of summer-like temperatures. 

‘The living room and library appear to have some light medieval theming with a large outer space mural, which is the first indication that we are dealing with something truly special here.’

Two of the house’s three bedrooms are also decorated following specific themes. 

‘There’s a Tropical Island Themed Bedroom and a 1970 Hippie Crash Pad Bedroom with a Queen Water Bed,’ the listing reads.

Photos show how the tropical island bedroom comes complete with faux vines strung across the walls, doorways and ceilings.  

Outside, the ivy-covered home has its own pool, perfect for hot summer days. It comes with hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, an elevated library and beautiful high ceilings.

‘OH MY GOD I NEED THIS HOUSE. It’s only 17 miles away from me,’ one said. 

‘I… I would actually consider this. Yes, I know something’s wrong with me,’ said another.  

‘Want to do a timeshare? It’s so horrifyingly delightful,’ one replied. 

‘You have to admit, having your own beach in the basement would come in handy just about now,’ said another.
