‘What in the ‘Bridgerton’?’ Home for sale is something you can’t unsee. Look anyway
From the outside, this townhome for sale in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is as inconspicuous as can be, with its vintage bricks and forest green steps, all under the curious light of a four-way lamppost.
But inside, it’s an entirely different world — or rather different genre in the form of a Netflix series.
It’s a “Nicollet Island French 2nd Empire building 3-level townhome on National Historic Register,” the listing on Realtor.com says.
“Step inside for a wonderful journey around the world. Commissioned hand painted walls and ceilings teleport you to the gilded age with conveniences of a gas fireplace and built-in modern appliances.”
Yes, the entire home is about as striking as a set piece from “Bridgerton” — you can practically hear the harpsichord and the young couples getting in trouble for blinking at each other without dropping a wedding proposal first.
Listed for $1.2 million, the townhome has one bedroom and 1.5 bathrooms, spread out over 1,799 square feet. The decor mixes old-world themes with Asian influences, the listing notes, which gives it a grand — and unique — look.
The originality of the residence captured the attention of Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and X (formerly Twitter) page that showcases interesting houses up for sale.
“What in the Bridgerton smashes into the Olive Garden is going on here?” one person asked on Facebook.
“Lots of different styles going on but you can tell how much someone loved it and put a lot of time into curating the whole thing,” another noted.
“I love, love, love this! It is beautiful and unique. They were unafraid and I applaud them!” someone said.
“Minnesota, I was not familiar with your game,” one person joked on X.
