FunTranscript
00:01Admit it, we all love searching for real estate.
00:04What is it?
00:06That curiosity sparked Zillow Gone Wild,
00:09an inside look at the outrageously wonderful homes on the market.
00:13Enjoy!
00:14I'm Jack McGrair, and I am back on the hunt to find even wilder,
00:18more outrageous, over-the-top houses on the market,
00:22and meet the fascinating people who call these one-of-a-kind places home.
00:27Oh!
00:28Press the button.
00:30How could you find this from Zillow Gone Wild?
00:35Well, I've heard of that.
00:37Each week, one home shall be named the wildest of them all.
00:41This is awesome!
00:43So come on, take a peek.
00:45You know you want to.
00:53Mixed among central Pennsylvania's natural beauty,
00:56you'll find neighborhoods filled with suburban charm.
00:59You'll also find a house for sale that stands out a bit.
01:02Well, more like a lot, because it's inspired by 19th century France.
01:09Beautiful Pennsylvania suburb.
01:12With a very normal-looking house.
01:14Hello!
01:15Jack!
01:16Giuseppe!
01:17A pleasure!
01:18Glad to meet you!
01:19Jack!
01:20Giuseppe!
01:21A pleasure!
01:22You too!
01:23May I?
01:24All right!
01:25Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho!
01:29Ooh la la!
01:31Holy shamoly!
01:35My name is Giuseppe, and I live in this French country home in Pennsylvania.
01:41Look at this!
01:42It's so ornate!
01:43Did you do this?
01:44No, the previous owner did it.
01:46He was really into architecture, especially French.
01:50Gotcha!
01:51So this is like French design?
01:52This is French country.
01:53French country.
01:54Yes.
01:55Gotcha.
01:56Whoa!
01:57How high does this go?
02:01This house looks so normal from the outside.
02:03Nope.
02:05Whoa!
02:06I'm greeted with a foyer of mirrors and chandeliers.
02:10This is a mansion.
02:12I just loved the beauty and elegance of this home.
02:17But the main reason that I'm selling is because the home is 16,500 square feet.
02:24My wife spends most of her time in Maryland with her business.
02:29So it's just too big for one person.
02:32Are you French?
02:33Are you country?
02:34No, I'm Italian.
02:35Oh, Giuseppe.
02:37But I always loved French architecture, especially ornate French architecture.
02:46My mother introduced me to French architecture.
02:50The buildings in France that I had seen in books really appealed to me.
02:57Oh!
02:59Oh, it's pink.
03:00Cotton candy fever dream.
03:03Oh, yes.
03:04I'm dressed appropriately for this room.
03:07Look at this thing!
03:09This is an interesting design.
03:12I used it once and what I discovered is the water splashes.
03:16Yeah!
03:17And there's carpet.
03:18And so there's carpet.
03:19So I decided, I don't think so.
03:22Man, that is French country broken.
03:25Now, how did you come across this place?
03:27I saw an estate sale at this home, which had French furniture.
03:32Okay.
03:33Which I love.
03:34Great!
03:35And so I came for the furniture and wound up buying this French country home.
03:40As one does.
03:42Giuseppe got here.
03:43He was like, I'll take the walls with the furniture.
03:45Now, that's my kind of buyer.
03:48Whoa!
03:50Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
03:53You got a ballroom!
03:58Look at this place!
04:01Jeez, O.P.
04:03Professional bar.
04:04The person who built the home, he was an official with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.
04:12He had an in.
04:14This is crazy!
04:16Do you ever use this?
04:18Yes.
04:19We had a couple of family events here.
04:21Yeah?
04:22Yeah.
04:23Oh, my gosh.
04:24I'd be break dancing down here.
04:26My favorite room in the house is the ballroom.
04:28Even though I don't think I've sat in this chair since I bought this house.
04:35I just love everything about this room.
04:37The level of detail, the craftsmanship.
04:40I really regard this as a work of art.
04:43Did all this furniture come with the place, too?
04:44This is the furniture that was here.
04:46That's correct.
04:47And these chairs are all custom-made.
04:50What do you think each of these chairs cost back then?
04:54A thousand?
04:55I don't know what chairs cost.
04:56Five thousand dollars.
04:58A chair!
04:59I should not be sitting here.
05:00I should not be sitting here.
05:01I should not be sitting here.
05:02We gotta take a chair.
05:03He won't notice.
05:05What do you do?
05:07Well, I'm a professor.
05:09Of what?
05:10Ex-professor.
05:14What's behind the curtain?
05:21Is this...
05:22Is this a pool?
05:26This is huge!
05:27Have you ever used it?
05:28I've never used it.
05:29Never filmed it.
05:30You're killing me!
05:31I'm not that adventurous.
05:32You've got to use the spa.
05:33Continuing office and sitting area.
05:35Uh-huh.
05:36Conference room.
05:37Whoa!
05:38I'm seeing the pattern.
05:39Isn't this the same shape as the spa?
05:40Yes.
05:41I mean, I can't get over how much is going on.
05:42But it's still very, very clean.
05:43I mean, I can't get over how much is going on.
05:44But it's still very, very clean.
05:45I mean, I can't get over how much is going on, but it's still very, very clean.
05:46Yeah, it looks like new, really.
05:47Yeah.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Yeah.
05:52This home would be best suited for a person who has, uh, an office and sitting area.
05:53Uh-huh.
05:54And the...
05:55Conference room.
05:56Whoa!
06:01I'm seeing the pattern.
06:02Isn't this the same shape as the spa?
06:04Yes.
06:05Yeah.
06:06I mean, I can't get over how much is going on.
06:09But it's still very, very clean.
06:11Yeah.
06:12It looks like new, really.
06:13Yeah.
06:14This home would be best suited for a person who has observed that European detail and elegance
06:23in the palaces that are over there.
06:26Because essentially, that's what we have here.
06:29Thank you for my first trip to France.
06:32So this has been fantastic.
06:34A pleasure, Jack.
06:35What a delight.
06:36A pleasure.
06:37I feel that I've taken a tour of the French countryside, and the baguette, and the pain
06:42au chocolat.
06:43Ho, ho, ho, ho.
06:44I wish you the best of luck with the sale.
06:47Take care.
06:48Thank you so much.
06:50Will Chateau Lala receive Travian scores on the Wild Dial?
06:55It gets marks for originality, since from the outside, you'd never guess.
07:00Behind the front door lies a French country chateau.
07:03Every corner is dripping with elegant antique furniture and ornate painted-by-hand accents,
07:10which fully commits to the theme.
07:12Say, ooh-la-la to a waltz in the ballroom, or a dip in the Roman bath, which helps rack
07:18up some points for the wild factor.
07:20I'm in Hudson, Wisconsin, which is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, more
07:27than doubling its population since 2000.
07:30Today, I'll be touring an iconic home that's for sale, and it's inspired by another certain
07:36icon who loves pink.
07:38is this some sort of dream house?
07:52Hi, Brooke!
07:53Hi, Jack!
07:54Hi, Brooke!
07:56Hi, Brooke!
07:57Hi, Jack.
07:58Hi, Jack.
07:59Hi, Jack.
08:00Hey, Brooke.
08:01Hi, Jack.
08:02Hi, Jack.
08:05How are you?
08:06Thank you so much, Brooke.
08:08This is...
08:10It's over the top, isn't it?
08:12Well, but clearly, I mean, like, you fit with this house.
08:15I definitely do.
08:16I'm Brooke, and I live in my dream castle.
08:19I'm selling my dream house because I'm off to the new projects.
08:22My goal is to go over by the beach next.
08:25I need heat.
08:26I need ocean.
08:27Have you always been a pink dream house kind of person, or...?
08:32It's definitely a color that stands out.
08:34Yeah.
08:35So it grabs people's attention.
08:36Yes.
08:37And that's what this is about.
08:38When you see a house this pink and this noticeable, you do ask, who lives here?
08:45What's their story?
08:47Are they crazy?
08:49Was it pink when you got it?
08:51No, it was gray.
08:53Because everything that I own is pink, I feel like I just had to just do it.
08:57Lean into it.
08:58There's pink decorations everywhere.
08:59Everywhere.
09:00I see the sidewalk is pink.
09:02I wanted it to be like a red carpet, but it's pink.
09:04But it's pink.
09:05But it's pink.
09:06I mean, that just goes without saying.
09:08Well, okay.
09:09I cannot wait to see more.
09:10Yes, let's go.
09:17Look at all this pink!
09:19What do you think?
09:20I love it.
09:21It is so over the top.
09:23It's just very eye-catching.
09:25Girl, you like pink.
09:28I love pink.
09:29Brooke is pink.
09:31Pink is Brooke.
09:32Brink is Pook.
09:37And of course, this is where you just have your breakfast every day.
09:40Every day.
09:43So what do you do?
09:45Who are you?
09:46Who are you?
09:47Who am I?
09:48I'm an old house collector.
09:50A collector of old houses.
09:52Yes.
09:53You're not an old house collector.
09:55I, by trade, am an esthetician.
09:57Esthetician.
09:58A tattoo artist.
09:59And I had a storefront in downtown Hudson.
10:02Like a brick and mortar.
10:03Yes.
10:04And it was bright pink.
10:05And it caused so much commotion with the city and the people.
10:08So I'm like, everything has to be like that.
10:11Everything that I own.
10:12Every house.
10:13Every vehicle.
10:14So the store started it all.
10:16Yes, the store started it all.
10:17Wow!
10:18A little 10 by 10 store.
10:19Okay, so did it catch attention in all positive ways?
10:23When I started to paint the houses, the city, mmm, they didn't really like that.
10:29Brooke, this is nuts.
10:30Can I look around a little bit?
10:31Yes!
10:32Let me take you up the magical steps.
10:35Oh my gosh.
10:36I can't believe it's pink.
10:38I know, right?
10:41We're gonna take the first bedroom to the left.
10:44You're gonna love this room.
10:46Oh, this is different.
10:49Oh!
10:53I do like the room, but it has a different vibe.
11:00This is unlike everything else.
11:03This is not pink.
11:04This is not pink.
11:05Is this red?
11:06It's red.
11:07For me, I'm like, I'm not seeing too...
11:09Don't say it looks like pink.
11:12Don't say it looks like pink.
11:14Noted.
11:15We are very, we are very off.
11:17Look at that.
11:18That red, and depending on the shade of pink, those colors are kind of the same.
11:23Is she here?
11:24Does she hear me?
11:26I know you have strong feelings.
11:27I have strong feelings.
11:28And I'm a good house guest, so I'm gonna shut my mouth.
11:31We have more to look at, so come on.
11:33Okay, this is a room.
11:41This is my room.
11:43We still got the pink.
11:44And a little blue, too.
11:45Hey, we have some yellow.
11:46That leads to the third floor.
11:49Oh, what's up there?
11:50A lot of bedrooms.
11:54All right, so I'm going to show you a part of the house.
11:57Actually, I'm not gonna show you because I'm not allowed to go down there.
11:59It's the man cave.
12:00Wait, this way?
12:01Yes.
12:06What the?
12:12Aw, yeah!
12:14Hey!
12:15Got my dead animals.
12:16Dead animals.
12:18Leather couches.
12:19Which are also dead animals.
12:21More dead animals.
12:23Testosterone!
12:27Are you feeling very manly?
12:29Oh!
12:30Yeah.
12:31Like I could go hit the gym.
12:32That is clearly so different from the rest of the house.
12:35Why is it there?
12:36It's the man cave.
12:37Oh.
12:38It's where the kins hang out.
12:40The Jacks.
12:44That was good.
12:45That was good.
12:46I didn't even know what we were doing.
12:48This has been such a phenomenal tour.
12:51We'll see you next time.
12:52Bye!
12:53Bye Jack!
12:54Will this house take home the gold or pink?
12:59A couple of originality points for transforming a staid, stuffy Victorian home into a fantasy
13:06dream home that'll excite your inner child.
13:09The commitment is evident.
13:12There are so many shades of pink, even the walkway and cars are in the mix.
13:17Just when you are drowning in pink, BAM!
13:20You're hit with the unexpected.
13:22A gothic red room and rustic man cave.
13:26What a wild switcheroo!
13:31There's a scheduled showing over at Tickled Pink.
13:34Might this be a dream home for one of these potential buyers?
13:37Wow!
13:38It definitely is pink!
13:39It definitely is pink!
13:40Yes!
13:41Yes!
13:42Love this already!
13:43You love it?
13:44Great!
13:45I've never sold anything like this specifically before.
13:48It's going to go on MLS and we're going to do all the normal things, but we also worked
13:53with a PR firm that pushed this listing out to media organizations.
13:59You're interested in pink homes?
14:00In terms of kind of looking at it as an investment property?
14:03Okay!
14:04Most buyers with interest in the house are investors.
14:08If you bought this house, would you be keeping it all pink?
14:11Might want to tone it down a little bit.
14:13It's a challenge when there are buyers that think that they would take the pink away.
14:19Do you have any idea how much it would cost to bring it back to original?
14:23If you were to paint the interior of the house, it would probably be about $8,000.
14:27Okay, that's not bad.
14:28But other than that, we've had really positive feedback.
14:32Do you like that?
14:33I love it.
14:34Oh, this is very cute.
14:35We'll see if tickled pink was swept off the market a little later.
14:39I'm in the coastal city of San Juan Capistrano, California, famously known for the San Juan Capistrano
14:48Mission, which brings in over 300,000 tourists per year.
14:52This jewel of a town is also home to a Spanish-style hacienda that has so many handmade elements, it took 21 years to finish.
15:07Okay.
15:08Have a nice little hacienda today.
15:13Welcome.
15:14Hello, Vanessa.
15:15How are you?
15:16Hi, Jack.
15:17My name's Vanessa, and I live in a hacienda.
15:20Here we go.
15:21My goodness.
15:22Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
15:35Just walking into this space, this is when we decided we need to be here.
15:38This does not look real.
15:40Oh, my God.
15:41Look at these plants.
15:42Yeah.
15:43I really love this sense of wonder and discovery in the middle of the city.
15:49How long have you been here?
15:50We'd been here about six months.
15:52And how did you find this place?
15:54It was completely spontaneous.
15:56We were not in the market whatsoever.
15:59My partner, Jim, woke me and said, we're going to this open house.
16:04And when we walked in, this enchanted garden met us and moved us.
16:10And we ended up very spontaneously deciding that this needed to be our home.
16:15This is unique within unique.
16:17That's a good one.
16:19I love it.
16:20We have never done anything like this before.
16:23Typically, there's thoughtful conversation and a timeline and planning and preparation.
16:28And there was absolutely none of that.
16:30I don't know that we would ever do it again either.
16:33It was a lot of stress.
16:35I see a lot of crosses.
16:36I see a lot of birds.
16:37And swallows.
16:38The mission, which is walkable from here.
16:41Sure.
16:42These swallows that would come and build their nests underneath the eaves of the mission.
16:46They leave and come back annually.
16:48And this has been going on for 100 years.
16:50And they have a big deal Swallows Day parade.
16:53I would like to see that.
16:54I don't know if I've ever seen a swallow in real life.
16:56I wouldn't know one if it pegged my eyes out.
16:58I'd be mad, but I wouldn't know what it was.
17:01May I see more?
17:02Yes, by all means.
17:03Please.
17:04Welcome.
17:05All right.
17:10What a greeting, Vanessa.
17:12This and tile and raw iron everywhere.
17:16I have to look at this furniture.
17:19This is nice.
17:21Thank you so much.
17:23Did the furniture come with the house as well?
17:25Surprisingly, no.
17:27No.
17:28There are some pieces that were custom made for the home that were left for us.
17:32But really everything that you see was ours.
17:35All of this furniture and all of our accessories obviously fit.
17:39They were meant to be here, just like us.
17:42Did you kill it?
17:43Wait, this thing?
17:46Now this piece was here.
17:48And we call her the watcher.
17:50She has been hanging in this same place since the home was built.
17:53I think that is such a nice touch.
17:55Whoa.
17:56There's tile down here.
17:57I see more skylights up here.
17:58Vanessa.
17:59Yes.
18:00So these are tile and then all of these are wood.
18:01So when the sun's coming through, the lighting is heavenly.
18:16It was so funny when we were here at the open house, I got really territorial really quickly.
18:24You know, get out of our kitchen.
18:28Holding pepper spray.
18:31Let's go outside.
18:35Okay.
18:36Oh.
18:37It is more enchantment.
18:43Oh, let me just show you this wall here too.
18:46All of this work.
18:47This is art.
18:50You live in a house of art.
18:52Yes, we do.
18:53I love that you like that.
18:54Yes.
18:55I've not ever seen anything done in a home with this much detail and tile and texture and stone.
19:02It's got a wow to it.
19:04We do feel like we're on vacation every day.
19:07This is perfect.
19:08I mean, I feel like I'm on a telenovela or something.
19:12Like, all I need now is dramatic music and for a secret twin brother to show up.
19:17Oh, Jack.
19:26This has been wonderful.
19:27Thank you for your time.
19:28You're welcome.
19:29Thank you for being here.
19:30Take care.
19:32The spellbinding beauty of these enchanted gardens is impossible to ignore.
19:37But how will it rank on the wild dial against the other two homes?
19:42The spectacular custom mosaics, tile, and ironwork are an original way to showcase creativity.
19:49This home's commitment to honoring the local mission is demonstrated flawlessly with crosses and swallows found in every corner.
19:58And that garden felt like an enchanted forest lush with plants, fruits, and veggies.
20:05I'm dying to find out which home takes home this group's plaque.
20:12But first, let's get some updates on our current listings.
20:15The listing price remains the same on Tickled Pink, but the right buyer has yet to claim it.
20:21Same goes for Chateau La La, as it is still up for grabs.
20:26Okay, let's see which of the three homes tonight is the wildest.
20:30We've gone from a French country mansion, to a Spanish hacienda, to a pink Victorian beauty.
20:39But only one can claim the top spot.
20:42And the wildest house is...
20:46Tickle Pink!
20:47Brooke!
20:48Hi, Jack!
20:49We sent you a little something in the mail.
20:51Open that package.
20:52Sounds good!
20:54Wow!
20:55This is amazing!
20:59Not a single shade of pink was left out in creating this fun and vibrant dream home.
21:04Between the over-the-top decor and the playful pops of style, creativity oozes from every corner.
21:11Thank you so much, Jack.
