How Does this House Have 11 Bedrooms? 

Here is the flip we did next door ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H--iynzUTTI.htmlsi=zSK_OWyPA-D_zv5X

This might make a good half way house for people getting out of rehab before they can trust themselves to be on their own.

Extended family? Fostering kids as a business? Safe house? The mind boggles!

It’s Colorado, so I’m guessing this was a covert FLDS compound house for multiple wives and their kids.

My cousin rented a house like this for a family vacation a few years back. The listing said it had eight bedrooms. Since there were eighteen of us, that seemed perfect. Photos looked nice, although not all the bedrooms were shown. So, we get there. The house has THREE legal bedrooms. There’s a small room off the kitchen that has a bed in it but no closet and door! Obviously it was meant to be a study. That’s "bedroom four." The garage has a bed in it…"bedroom five." Downstairs in the basement there’s a hallway between the two legal bedrooms on that level. Said hallway has two bunk beds in it. That would make it "bedroom six." Where are the last two bedrooms? We couldn’t find them. Called the homeowner. Turns out bedrooms seven and eight are the CLOSETS in the two basement bedrooms. These people put double beds inside two walk-in closets and called them bedrooms! Granted, they were very large closets, but they definitely did not meet the definition of a "bedroom" by any stretch of the imagination. As we were out in a rural area and it was the week of Christmas, we couldn’t find alternate accommodations. We all just piled into this house. Children were in grandparents’ closets. Adults on bunk beds in a hallway. I slept on a futon in the garage. It was 28° outside overnight so that was fun. Best of all? The only bathrooms in the house were three en suites in the three legal bedrooms. You could not get to a bathroom without walking through someone’s bedroom. We didn’t even realize this until we’d settled in. I kept looking for a half-bath somewhere in the house. Nope. The homeowners acted offended when we complained about the factually incorrect listing. According to the company that hosted the listing, only legal bedrooms could be called bedrooms in the listing. We pointed this out to the homeowners. They told us to leave if we didn’t like it. Now, some of the blame fell on my cousin, who found and rented the place. She didn’t notice that only three bedrooms were pictured on the site, nor did she notice that there was only one review of the house. That review was mostly positive, so obviously they hadn’t had eighteen people trying to stay there. But the homeowners flat-out lied about the number of bedrooms. Yes there were enough BEDS for eighteen people, but the listing said eight BEDROOMS. We stayed the week. Had a fun time. The house was on a beautiful river so it was pretty outside, even if it was too wet and cold to enjoy being outside. And we got our money back afterwards when we reported the house to the company. We had photos to show beds in closets, hallway, garage… I’d say it was a good value for $0. The house in this video here just triggered that memory.

We call our house “The Dollar Tree Winchester House” 😆 It’s 6,000sf, 3 kitchens, 6 bedrooms, 3 living rooms, 1 family room, 2 fireplaces, 3 acres. I think it started as a 2 bedroom in 1958. They added on in every direction! I got lost in it the first time I came to see it. It took 2 days to do the inspections, they said it’s over built, heavy duty everything. It’s very livable but not super fancy.

Looks like an old boarding house that's been "updated" throughout the years. If that area attracts lots of young travelers, it would be a perfect layout for a cool Hostel.

My first thought is an extended family from somewhere in Asia, where they DIY a house to hold as many family members as they can possibly fit. Then they collectively buy another house and divide up the people into two, then another house and divide up into three, and so on, until each family has their own house.

The house was used as a halfway house for people exiting drug rehab. There were 20 people who each paid $100 a week rent.

Inside windows always interesting. Unless you are a big family with young kids, this house would be awkward. If you think about it, if it’s a college rental, you could potentially have between 11 and 22 occupants at one time, if everybody has a significant other. A lot of sub panels, I noticed. I think a house like this would be nothing but red flags.

We have homes like this that are "residential care homes" for the elderly, some for all ages special needs". I could see the main floor room with a window being the "office" and the downstairs rooms as craft and activities rooms.

I see so much potential in this house 😻 it’s actually really nice it just needs some good work !

I'd love to hear the full back story on this one!

Given the area this is in, it is a mexico house. That is when a family from Mexico buys the main house, then they bring over other families to live there. As they bring more people additions are made. Until the house can't hold anymore.

My stepfather’s mother lived in a house that during either the Great Depression or WWII one of the floors was converted into apartments. It was cool and creepy at the same time. As the house was built in the 1800’s and the closets were inside the walls at thigh level and ran the length of the room.

My husband used to work for a restaurant and they all lived in a house like this. By the time we moved in together, they had even changed the original living room into a bedroom. In the end, I wanna say it was like 10 or 12 bedrooms but it wasn't chaotic add-ons like this, they just bought a duplex and fixed it up and did one single addition out back for the owner.

This reminds me of my neighbor's house. It doesn't look that big from the outside, but when you go inside, the rooms just keep going and going!

Reading books has really skyrocket the way I think about investing. Indeed, no one has ever got rich by saving money. If you want to become financially free, You need to Invest. I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments.

My understanding is that to be a bedroom, it has to have a closet and direct egress to the exterior as a fire escape. So, any room with a window that opens into an addition probably should not be considered a bedroom. Also, it looks like a carport was enclosed to make it a garage. To meet most fire codes, it should not have a window and the common walls and ceiling should be 5/8" drywall. Also, a window can allow carbon dioxide into the house if an engine is running in the garage.

The tiling is amazing but like you said a lot of bedrooms needs living accommodation and the basement is where it fell apart for me.and no parking is a clincher.Still if you were Warren Jeff's you'd snap this up in a heartbeat.

Would work well for an assisted living or group home. Rent to an agency and they fill the bedrooms and have someone to watch over and cook for the residents.

I once rented a 5 bed 4 bath house to a 'reverend' and his wife and they made their expenses by scads of foster kids (found this out much later). They chopped up the basement into little bedrooms...i'm sure not legal but I didn't know until they moved out. had to rip out all their 'improvements' but I did get to repurpose all the salvaged lumber

Reminds me of some of the hostels I've stayed at. You rent the room and there were several bathrooms, where you go do you thing and then take everything back to your room. Cheap & convenient. One hostel was so automated, they had a touch pad for the front door, computer inside to check in and get the code to your room. Once a day, a maid came in and cleaned the common area.

I want that house!! LOL Please let us know what it sells for! It has an interesting setup! It might be good for someone to use as a group home where the clients don't have vehicles.

The laundry window can stay but the basement needs to be switched to the bedrooms on the windows sifes and the kitchen plus bathroom to the other so it can work for parents upstairs with kids and grandparents downstairs with bedroom plus guest room/office or sewing.

That's a good idea. I'm in VT. I have been to rehab a couple times however when you complete rehab and return to the same people places and things eventually you will be back to where you were or worse. I feel if there was more sober houses/tiny home communities with access to support individuals, couples or families is the big key for people to get sober and stay sober. However you have to want it for yourself until you do your on the hamster wheel.

i could move my cult members into that location

Thanks for showing this. Crazy house. But LOVE the tile work!

This house is fascinating! My family of 8 wold fit comfortably in here. I wish I could afford. Where we live now is not even close to being big enough. :(

Dang I really liked it!!! Size and layout. Great for a big family

Closing on my 3rd rental property today. 🎉 super hyped

Wacky but interesting to see the space I would be checking the books I would say there was no permits for this expansion. I can understand the basement as a hang out space for one large bedroom dump the kitchen. I cleaned a house where they didn't have windows in the basement bedrooms or bathrooms. But had a walk out basement and a big kitchen. She moved downstairs the main floor had a decent amount of space. The basement was the coolest spot in the house. She moved her sister in with her each had their own place inside the house. It was a house from the 70s for sure

Growing up I dated a girl who lived in a house exactly like this with 13 bedrooms. There wasn't a single foot of living space and the entire house was just 13 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and a kitchen for each floor. It was a tri level house. Main floor, upstairs and basement. She was Mexican and 12 different families lived in the house. Each bedroom had 3-4 beds and a total of 41 people lived in the house. It was the most insane thing I've ever seen in my life. Everyone just hung out in their bedrooms all day long when they weren't working or cooking or out back. There was several elderly ladies, all grandmas of different families that all seemed to be cooking every meal imaginable the entire day so i was fed like a king when I was there. There were always 10-15 guys in the backyard drinking beers and they had an entire section of the yard dedicated to empty beer cans that was piled up probably 8ft tall and 30ft wide. No joke, it was the biggest pile of aluminum cans that I've ever seen in my life. I spent a lot of time over there because I was 13 and apparently old enough to drink because they always gave me beer so i was making every excuse to go over😂😅

No parking is probably why the whole front yard is concrete.

I love the windows and exterior doors in the middle of the house.

This reminds me of a multi generational family house! I liked the tiles on the floor!

Honestly I love this I have 4 kids (18,16,15,11) and 2 dogs and two cats this would be perfect and plenty of space when friends are over too

I know of a few different families with 10-13 children in each of them! In my dreams , they would EACH have a home like this !! 😍💜😍 Appreciate the Share !!

It's unique! It could be used for some sort of group living situation. I think the layout is too complicated for the elderly - they'd get lost - but housing for the homeless might work. The bedrooms are mostly adequate for doubles, and perhaps a cluster of three rooms and one of the smaller kitchens could comprise an apartment for a family. There's a shortage of bathrooms. The biggest hurdle would be complying with all the relevant zoning, building and fire codes!

those 2 bottom rooms would make great common movie theather and game rooms if this was rented out per room this house would require cleaning, and some new fixtures, and a 400 amp service but the potential is there, especially already having it zoned

Nice walkthrough.

I kinda like it the way it is ! Love the skylights !!!

This house is super cool. The frame of it anyway… I could do a lot with this place. Since I want to expand what I am doing on RU-vid, I could set up multiple RU-vid Studio rooms here. A nice game room. The tile floors need to go in a lot of this place, due to how none of it coordinates or looks right. And I would replace the doors and give it a fresh coat of paint and some color throughout. And spruce up all the bathrooms and kitchens. But this place is super cool! Wish something like this was in the market when I am ready to sell and relocate.

Reminds me of the girls group home I lived in growing up in foster care, could be cool for something like that

That main kitchen reminds me of a food court restaurant.

I like it. Quite the ninja looking house. Needs a good thorough refresh. Minor construction, a good painter, new hardware throughout, few new lights, change that back splash, light covers and obviously a serious cleaning. I would also redo the driveway. Could be more but it’s hard to tell from a video.

That basement would make a great canning room, kitchen to work in "bedrooms" for storing all the food that you can up :)

Just became a subscriber ❤

I need this house to fit me and my 2 daughters with 7 grandchildren with number 8 on the way love it

The future of homeownership! 🤗

Idk ! Is there a basement ? Is it a ranch style ome,where the rooms are spread out ? What is the square footage ?

As an Australian, basements don’t exist here, so they always give me the creeps. So dark and claustrophobic! What a weird house!

There was a house being built in my neighborhood that looked small in the front of the house, but it went all the way back to the ally. with no yard! it was different.

I would convert the upstairs room with the window overlooking into the other apartment as a dining room, The "bedrooms" in the basement for cold storage and stockpile of food. The basement kitchen with an office space maybe and/or dining/meeting room for staff or perhaps a "crafts area. The upstairs I would rent the rooms out as a bed & breakfast. I think it would be perfect as a "hotel" for guests. Maybe work with certain [places like Funeral Homes, Wedding Planners, Churches (for Baptisms) to house people from out of town. Get to know some Doctors and Lawyers. Maybe some states witnesses or patients family could stay there? The possibilities are endless.

That was really interesting. Lots of options there. Price is a bit on the high end.

I wish this house was in my state!! Love it!! I would rooms for my kids and grands!!

That house would make a lot more sense in a college town. I lived in one like it in New Orleans. I was the only one not in law school, so it was quiet times at the home place.

Definitely set up to be a group home of some kind.

Lol, every one of my grandparents and even my wife's grandparents all had ancient houses with multiple additions. Most bedrooms came with windows looking into other rooms. Be it the garage, den, kitchen... I thought it was really cool when I was a kid 😂.

That was crazy cool

I wonder how much was done without a permit, and how much would have to be undone to be up to code.

I would designate each floor (area) to a bathroom and kitchen. But still rent out as individual rooms. To people who have no cars. or have someone there have 1 car or 2 and its shared for trips to get grocery stuff, work etc No one has to be social with others if they don't want to be etc Like a dorm for adults outside of school lol Definitely would help out a lot of people in this economy

Seems like a family unit lived there. Normal door hardware, not heavier lock sets you'd see in a shared situation. Tile work if done well was likely someone's occupation and this was leftovers from jobs because of the variety. The amount of stairs make it concerning for older people. No elderly bashing ;) I'm 70 and still do multiple flights of stairs a day, but I feel them.

This would be an awesome house to live in. That basement alone could be a house within itself.

This is so cool ❤❤❤

Wish you could have done a count on the screen after each bedroom. I'm trying to keep up. I never expected it.

Wow there was really 11 bedrooms in there it’s crazy set up but I love it.

I would love to have that house if I had 12 kids. I like the nice wooden floors and clean walls.

With all the hack work I wouldn't be interested either but I do wanna know what it goes for. Is this a Colorado home

I once lived in a 8 bedroom house.. It was originaly 2 houses and they combined them

That is definitely the most unusual house I’ve ever seen!

I want I hope the addition is up to code or they’re legal.

I love Thet house!!! 😱

Looks like it was a group home of some sorts. Where I live, there was one that had multiple bedrooms and it was a group home for people that were mentally handicapped. And it was in a very nice neighborhood.

Extremely interesting! How many sq ft?

This would be great for senior living

When you walked into kitchen #2, I thought, oh....basketball court.

Contact some caregiving businesses. We worked for a company that took care of Downs people and others with brain damage, that sort of thing. One of our homes was a five bedroom convent that had closed. Your house could easily be made into two houses with space for a locked medication room. It’s generally four clients per house plus a med room/office.

Very interesting😊

How would that ever pass inspection with some of the rooms not having a window to the outside

Love how the second fridge is almost hanging over the steps lmao

How would this house pass inspection?

The wood floors in the bedrooms look like they are in great shape.

Where is this property located?

You right there is no living space to hang out to watch tv. Just a crazy small house with so many bedrooms like a mini mansion.

I would make it into a bed & breakfast or hostel. Or hotel. The multiple kitchens could be an issue..

With so many rooms and easy to clean tile floors I wondered if this were a sort of care home for disabled or elderly, but I don't see any grab bars in the bathrooms, and the multiple levels would be an issue for anyone with a walker, wheelchair or balance issues. Very unusual place though...huh.

Bedrooms had decent floors. The downstairs can be a nice living space.

What state is this house in because I need a large house. ?

I've got cats. Works for me. 😂 11 bedrooms including 2 really sketchy in basement. 4 bathrooms and 3 kitchens. Tile is neat.

Might be good for a home based business..The rooms can be offices..

Noticed there is a lock box over the thermostat... I'd be willing to bet this was a group home, halfway house, or some type of shelter home.

where is this house located because this one looks like a good buy to me

I counted 5 bathrooms and 12 bedrooms insane for that size of house and also the main floor seamed so big compared to the basement

@ 4:09 Why is it illegal to have a window open into the affiliation?

Definitely a former group home or halfway house or inpatient/rehab property; a chance it's a modern tenement. I highly doubt this was a (extended) single-family home since it's original owner. Everything was definitely done and run off the books as nothing about this property would pass inspection (or even floor plan filing). Would be a nightmare to sell - no title insurance for a normal buyer would cover this.

I love that house.

OMG awesome house

Maybe make the downstairs one whole unit and make them bed rooms bigger upstairs like 4

What is the square footage? Homes seems pretty big. Looks like it possible was a restaurant at one point.
