“Trip, trap, trip, trap! Who’s crossing over my bridge?”
“It’s me, mom. Again. Just like it always is, ever since you put this stupid bridge in the hallway outside my room. Can’t I have some privacy? LEAVE ME ALOOOOONE!”

Now I have the “Grumpy Old Troll” song from Dora the Explorer stuck in my head.
Thanks a smeggin’ buncharooni.
You had to go there, didn’t you? It’s like a virus, and now I’m infected too!
I have been known to walk around the house singing the Dora themesong, but with the only lyrics being the word “Dora.” Dora dora dora dora dora! Dora dora dora dora dora…
I wonder if there’s water in there.
Looks like dirt, in which a tree seems to reside.
Are they trying to block cats from using it as a litterbox? Keep the dog from constantly digging in it? Is it a metaphor for something? Man’s inhumanity to …bridges?
Either way, kind of a nice house with a puzzling atrium.
I am so having that in my next house – 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, puzzling atrium
The puzzling atrium will go well with my boardgames room
Oh, oh, you could hang out in there and play Boggle
You could have theme parties, with lots and lots of booze to add to that feeling of discombobulation.
Then play Twister…mwhwhaha
My spider-sense tells me the kids kept running up and down the hallway. So they pin in a tree and garden to slow them down. The kids kept tripping up over the rocks, so they had to put in a bridge…
Well, it does say the house has disability access features – maybe this is the wheelchair ramp. The ramp they needed to get over the indoor garden full of dirt, surrounded by stones and featuring a really big tree…
There’s something really weird about these pictures. Look at the door in the pool-table room and the windows in the kitchen and living room. As if someone with not-nearly-as-excellent-as-Sara’s photoshop skills had made up the whole thing. Cue Twilight Zone music?
I wonder if the trolls decorated the house? This could be a really nice house if a an actual decorator got hold of it.
Wait a minute…is this tree “planted” in an inexplicable gap in the wall of the room with four halogen lamps, two matching office chairs, and unexplained mismatched recliner (all of which seem to have their backs turned to the wall-mounted flatscreen tv…)?…What? That’s the living room? What hidden couch? Then why are the chairs blue?
Wait…why is there a tree in a hole in the wall?
Told you it was puzzling.
See the red couch, Isadora? That’s by the blue recliners near the flatscreen TV near the inexplicable gap in the wall that, thankfully wouldn’t actually be that much of a bear to yank on out of there.
In essence, someone built this in 2004. They went open concept, with it. Then to make sure we all felt like we’d dropped acid with Disney characters? They stuck a tree in there, with Christmas lights on it…and a bridge…where woodland creatures possibly gather. To laugh at the people who built the house, I’m guessing.
At first I thought the tree was under the skylight, but now I see that that’s just the light from the skylight, which is actually several feet away.
What are they going to do when the tree gets too big?
Cut a hole in the roof?
Maybe that’s why the house is for sale . . . .
It’s the ad text that really brings it home. All the bells and whistles (missing: and bridges). Well thought-out. (Really? You planted a tree in the hall and then had to build a bridge over it. “Thought-out” is not really my word for your sense of planning.) Sound system, fireplace, bar… (Again, how could you not mention: indoor tree with troll bridge?) Hardwood floors (on the bridge?). Must see to believe. (Okay. THAT I believe.)
You want more fun? Allegedly there is a full, walk out basement. The room(s) with the tree appear to have a skylight, which suggests it isn’t in the basement.
I’m not sure what that suggests about the basement, or the trees root structure but that tree is only where the “HUH?” starts.
When I was house hunting last fall, I always had at least one “must see to believe” house on my list of houses to visit, solely for the entertainment value (my realtor liked looking at them, too). I actually ended up buying one of those MSTB houses, but because it was MSTB in a good way.
Pictures! We must have PICTURES!
The tree must have inched itself into the niche because the ceiling fan started to get too close.
Wow. I’m having a serious anthropomorphisis moment. Does anyone else see a giant angry duck? It wasn’t until I read the comments that I even realized there was a bridge, all I could see was a bill.
Is it still anthropomorphisis if it’s a duck, or would that be anatimorphisis?
Definately a face–with teeth on the bottom. I should know, I do anthropomorphisis for a living. Now it’s going to bug me that he has two different colored eyes.
When I looked back at it, the bridge actually looks like the face is sporting a sweet ‘stache…
What I want to know is why are there protective barriers, complete with handrails, around the living room sofa and chairs? Is it for their safety? Are the owners concerned the dining room table or the refrigerator might go sleepwalking and stumble over the living room? Or is there something more sinister going on? Free the chairs! Free the sofa! Down with upholstered furniture bondage!
Or maybe this is a disability access feature? My bad.
Mr Jones next door has two trolls with eyes as big as saucers and teeth as sharp as nails, and a new feature where they perform show tune duets.
It’s hard to settle for just the one now.
I see Troll! Look…he’s sitting on the headboard shelf overlooking the blue-checkered bed (#7). His arms are spread out in relief since he was able to escape that creepy little bridge with the tree growing out of nowhere…not to mention the constant stomping of mom running back & forth to check on the whereabouts of Junior.
