A three-bedroom ranch-style home in Ferndale, Michigan, made headlines in December 2022 for having two urinals in its kitchen after social media users shared photos of the odd property’s real estate listing.
"This property has definitely been generating a ton of interest," Heidi Wilson of Keller Williams Advantage, the property’s real estate agent, told Fox News Digital at the time.
"The white structures are urinals. The current owner had them installed because he renovated this to be his ultimate man cave house so why not?"
The home has only one full bathroom while the urinal-integrated kitchen has a new wet bar that leads to a spacious fenced backyard complete with its own basketball court. The solo bathroom includes a television hookup for the shower, so games can be watched while showering. The home’s living room also has a removable platform perfect for stadium seating.

It sits on a 3,920-square-foot triangle lot and has been referred to as the "Pie House" by locals.

A four-bedroom and four-bathroom home in Celina, Ohio, includes two jail cells that once belonged to the Allen County Jail in Lima, Ohio. The jail cells are integrated into the home’s closed floor plan and are situated between the kitchen and the great room.
The home’s former owner reportedly purchased the jail cells after hearing the barred rooms were connected to John Dillinger, a Great Depression-era gangster, and built the two-story house around the cells in 1972.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that Dillinger committed a series of robberies and jailbreaks in the Midwest from 1933 to 1934.

There is an octagonal home that has an all-black interior and exterior in Lincoln, Illinois. The striking home was nicknamed the "Goth Home" in December 2021 by Zillow Gone Wild, a multiplatform social media account that shares unusual real estate listings on Zillow.com – an online home marketplace.
The previous owner of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home told Fox News Digital that he does not identify himself as gothic, and he initially chose to paint the roof black, but he eventually extended the color throughout the rest of the property. The home’s many windows and unique shape allow natural light to enter and brighten the interior.
The 1,547-square-foot home was originally built in 1993. The home found a buyer in March 2022 and the sale is currently pending, according to multiple listing service data.
