Fixer Upper Alert – Michigan Home for Sale Has Pool in Basement
Always dreamed of owning a home with a pool? Here's your chance! I mean yeah, the pool is in the basement, but hey...
A basement pool certainly is NOT the only interesting thing going on with this home for sale in Benton Harbor.

I came across the listing in the Facebook group Nightmare on Zillow Street, which is described as a "place to collect home photo listings that make you think WTF?". I'd say this home fits that bill...
Built in 1928, the 1,830 square-foot home has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. According to the listing, it's "Solid, sturdy, and sound" and "they definitely don't make them like this anymore."
It does look like someone started to renovate the home... but yes, to say it still needs some TLC is an understatement.
One thing I noticed right away - aside from the basement pool, of course - is the arches throughout the home. I've never seen any shaped like this before!
One of the comments on Facebook that tickled my funny bone, someone says they appreciate the home's "interrogation room"... Another compared the odd one-legged table to something you'd see on the Starship Enterprise.

Honestly, though, I think the home has the potential to be gorgeous once renovated. Many on Nightmare on Zillow Street seemed shocked by the price, even though the house definitely needs work - it's going for $69.9K.
