What kind of sadist posts that on a site full of Californians, New Yorkers, and other forever-renters?
I don’t think I’d call an 11,000 square foot home with a courtyard unassuming.
I’ve seen basements in houses built over solid rock that look like this without all the carpeting and recessed lighting. I think the owner maybe thought, “WTF am I supposed to do with this?” and decided to throw carpeting down over all of it.
Looking through all the photos, there are so many useless (upstairs walkway that could be eliminated simply by putting stairs at the other end of the living room), or ugly (black toilet!) things here.
Especially with all the weeding it looks like they’re in for with those brick pavers.

“Bless you!”
I see what you did there
I mean, it’s very obviously a koan room, for meditation. You stand in it and repeat, “Why is this room?” and let the cares of the day just — wash off.
