The home grabbed the attention of Zillow Gone Wild, and fans were simply mesmerized by the home.
“This is the kind of commitment to a theme we like to see!” one person said. “I’m assuming all the woodland creatures that help with chores are just out of the frame on all the photos.”
“The fact that it was designed by John Kahn explains most of the aesthetic - except for that toilet,” another noted. “That’s just weird.”
