This vine-covered house is actually on the market for an astonishing $475,000. The house may have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, but it also has a floor cracked by tree roots and a garage covered in the vines. Read: Inside the 'Silence of the Lambs' House That's Still For Sale The 60-year old home was once inhabited by a hoarder. Even realtor Dave Walter is calling it the ugliest house he's ever tried to sell. The house is on a cul-de-sac in Northridge, California. Homes on the block sell for more than $500,000. Walter said: “It truly is the worst home in the best neighborhood." The realtor believes the eyesore is a great deal for somebody with vision. He says a buyer would profit by flipping the house. After a major remodeling, he predicts it could sell for $600,000. INSIDE EDITION’s Jim Moret asked him: "Why not just tear it down?" "Because that's actually too much expense. The frame of the house is good. It just needs to be stripped down to the studs and rebuilt,” Walter said.

"Whoever lives in this home, in the future, is going to have an amazing place to call home,” Walter said. Watch: Take a Look Inside Michael Jackson's Restored Neverland RanchDesigners with delicate sensibilities, look away. This may be the most hideous McMansion in America. Built in 1956, this is "almost-famous pimp-turned-construction mini-magnate" Jerry A. Hostetler's Indianapolis Hearst Castle. Minus the architectural prowess. Without adhering to any particular aesthetic style, the eccentric Hostetler bought up his neighbors' houses and turned his original three-bedroom ranch house into a gaudy, enormous mansion featuring ballrooms, imported fountains, gargoyles, and a stone grotto hot tub. Hostetler died in 2006, and the house is back on the market. The four bedrooms and five bathrooms described in the listing don't do the mansion's enormity justice: pictures show a plethora of dining areas and entertainment rooms, as well as multiple sprawling decks and outdoor staircases.

And, of course, plenty of weird statues, although some of its treasures, like a six-foot mermaid sculpture, have been sold off by creditors. The Indy Star has some pictures of the property—and the man himself—in its heyday. Good design typically solves problems, but here it seems like Hostetler just created problems. The sheer plethora of patterns and textures jumbled together in each room makes it difficult to know where to rest your eyes. In some rooms, the oddly shaped windows and stained glass don't appear to let in much actual light, and just about every room contains its own staircase. It can't be easy to navigate a house cobbled together piece by piece as Hostetler bought up the different properties around him. "It was pretty clear from the start Jerry had his own ideas about architecture," a neighbor told the paper last year. Indeed, the place looks a little like Hostetler flipped through a book of architectural styles, pointed to a chapter and said, "Give me a little of this!" for each new room.
