This New York listing on Zillow illustrates that you shouldn't poop where you eat...

or cook, at least. Maybe it was used as part of a rental unit or in-law suite? Still odd. The place has a pool though!

3. Under facts and features

Sewer information: Cesspool

12. I have a hard time believing that

Suffolk County, NY, hasn’t allowed cesspools in new construction since 13 years before this house was built.

Things that concern me: the heating system is an oil boiler, it needs new windows, and if I bought this place the first thing I would have to do is drop $50,000 on new patio doors just for the dining room. This house has four vinyl sliders. No. Fucking. Way. My own house came with one of those. I replaced it with an Andersen Series A Frenchwood inswing door. That cost me nearly $12,000 and it was money well spent. I will accept nothing less. So, $50k to replace the patio doors, another $50k to replace all the windows, probably $20k for a Mitsubishi heating system, $15,000 for new appliances, $10k to hire someone to get rid of that weird “cook whilst you pee” mother-in-law apartment...The house seems to be in marvelous shape, but by the time I got it to where I wanted it you could easily buy a different home with just the money for upgrades to this one.

4. EEWwwww

I thought that all states prohibited an open bathroom next to a kitchen. I thought that even a closed bathroom was to be not adjoining a kitchen. That cannot be an approved layout.

7. Right, doesn't seem like it would meet code in any where in the US.

15. My wife and I owned a house with a closed bathroom just off the kitchen.

The bathroom was an addition. When the house was built it didn't have an interior bathroom at all -- there was an outhouse in the backyard. Families bathed in the kitchen in a tub using water heated on the stove.

The furnace was this huge cast iron thing in the basement. It had originally been a coal furnace, than it was converted to oil, and by the time we bought the house it had been converted to natural gas.

5. Must be a basement set up

This is a spacious house with four bedrooms, and an open regular kitchen on the main floor

10. beautiful

6. Can you turn around in it?

8. I believe that's called a shitchen

(That’s what the Zillow gone wild instagram comments coined it anyway)

[True Dough]

9. That's pretty clever!

It appeals to my juvenile sense of humor anyway.

[Fla Dem]

11. Looking at all the pictures of this house, there's a lot more wrong with it

than just the bathroom/ kitchen room.

13. The color scheme is enough to induce...

...a seizure - yuck!

[Hotler]

14. I would think code would not allow that. I would hope. nt
