Better negotiate with the cleaning person BEFORE showing what's behind "polishng the woodwork"
Ugh ... and the wallpaper!!!!! : O
I think this house in Avon, CT takes the prize for the most gawd-awful interior decorating...

This looks to me like someone transplanted the interior of an older east coast mansion into a desert house. The outside definitely doesn't match the inside, but it is a beautiful inside. I'd love to hear the backstory of this house. I enjoy looking at real estate all over the country as well. But I've never run across a find as interesting as you have.I like looking at real estate and ran across a truly strange place today. Someone with some skills put outrageous woodwork into/onto a plain Jane in the middle of flat desert. Not lipstick on a pig, more like the finest upscale designer wear and jewelry on Greta the lunch lady. Strange mix.

To me, the important thing is that it was obviously a labor of love.
Reminds me of a house not that far from us. Search "Cincinnati mushroom house" for details.
Here are a few shots from the interior of our house before we purchased it. It was really out there. Its an open concept type place and the main living room had 6 chandeliers, none the same. Needless to say we renovated the whole interior. The outside is a bit odd too. The original owners modeled it after the stable building on the estate of the founder of Champion Spark Plugs. I tell people it's the weirdest house in the county.
It reminds me a little of Fred and Lamont Sanford's place.
To each his own, but taking it for what it is, that's a really COOL house!!!
So here's an old brick house - a two story octagon with cupola and a spiral staircase from basement to the tippy-top. Location location - seems mighty cheap to me, but Ohio?...

Here's an article on Milwaukee's famous "boat house." Note the photo gallery. https://archive.jsonline.com/features/home/east-side-house-becomes-seaworthy-fl734jc-173563671.html

That picture looking down the staircase is like a nautilus shell. Very cool and thanks for posting!
EDIT: Yes, spirals are some dangerous stairs for sure. A friend lives in a small town where one of the builders really liked to build curved front steps. No good way to put up a rail and so many people have fallen on those blasted "cool" stairs.
