Michigan house for sale features an unusual, throne-like toilet

A house listed for $979,000 in the Detroit suburbs is drawing attention online for an unusual feature -- a toilet that resembles an actual throne.

The St. Clair Shores house is nicknamed the "House of Charm" in honor of its original resident, Edythe Fern Melrose, TV and radio host known as The Lady of Charm.

The home, listed for $979,000 by Tom Fincham of Community Choice Realty, features five bathrooms, but one is drawing particular attention for its toilet -- a high-backed wooden seat that resembles a royal throne. The toilet features a candle holder mounted to its high wooden back.

The house, which also includes an unusual bathtub on wheels, was previously listed for $1.2 million in 2021.

...rooms in the house.

I looked at all 63 pictures. Very nice setting on the water, but the house is a real mish-mosh of colors, materials, and styles. Quite FUGLY overall.

(Fugly - fuckin' ugly, for those who requested, earlier today, that we not assume everyone knows abbreviations/acronyms/neologisms)

Our kids thought we were CRAZY to buy our old badly neglected Victorian. But we weren't buying it for them - we were buying it for us. I keep the kids in line by telling them that the kid who pisses us off the worst will inherit the house!
