It&#8217;s a 4-bedroom, 4-bath ranch with some unusual decorating. She tells me, &#8220;This is such a stretch from the traditional, Southern homes we have around here. We definitely don&#8217;t see this style often. I found myself wondering if there&#8217;s any blood stored in the fridge.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-29134"></span><strong>I&#8217;m not sure we&#8217;d find blood-sucking brothers Stefan and Damon Salvatore</strong> in digs like these&#8211;they&#8217;re used to living in much grander style in their gorgeous old mansion on &#8220;<a href="http://www.cwtv.com/shows/the-vampire-diaries" target="_blank">Vampire Diaries</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/2011/08/16/unusual-listing-of-the-week-vamping-it-up/stefan-and-damon-salvatore-vampire-diaries/" rel="attachment wp-att-29139"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29139" title="Stefan and Damon Salvatore-Vampire Diaries" src="http://hookedonhouses.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Stefan-and-Damon-Salvatore-Vampire-Diaries.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></a><strong>But their suburban cousins</strong> Steve and Doug might feel right at home&#8230; <img src='http://hookedonhouses.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Then we have the living room, which continues it.</p>
<p><a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/2011/08/16/unusual-listing-of-the-week-vamping-it-up/vamp-house-living-room/" rel="attachment wp-att-29140"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-29140" title="vamp house living room" src="http://hookedonhouses.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/vamp-house-living-room-611x458.jpg" alt="" width="611" height="458" /></a><strong></strong>The headboard in the master bedroom appears to be made out of black fur. Or maybe feathers?</p>

When people talk about having a flat-screen up on the wall, this isn&#8217;t usually what they mean.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-29160"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/2011/08/09/5-funny-real-estate-photos/fabric-covered-bedroom-chicago-listing/" rel="attachment wp-att-29186"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-29186" title="fabric-covered bedroom-Chicago listing" src="http://hookedonhouses.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/fabric-covered-bedroom-Chicago-listing.jpg" alt="" width="512" height="334" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">#2. The listing describes &#8220;light-filled rooms,&#8221; but all the windows are covered in layers of fabric.</p>

I&#8217;ll bet this homeowner was thrilled to see her bra on the Internet.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://hookedonhouses.net/2011/08/09/5-funny-real-estate-photos/basketball-hoop/" rel="attachment wp-att-29164"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-29164" title="basketball hoop" src="http://hookedonhouses.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/basketball-hoop-611x406.jpg" alt="" width="611" height="406" /></a>#4.
