Sponsor Our ArticlesMichigan’s ‘Carpet Castle’ is gaining attention for its unique design and upcoming transformation on the show about America’s ugliest homes. Constructed in 1920, this home is carpeted from floor to ceiling and is set to win a $150,000 renovation. Hosted by Marietta ‘Retta’ Sirleaf, this season features this fascinating property alongside other unusual homes, showcasing the potential for remarkable renovations. The show aims to inspire homeowners to see beauty in their own unique spaces.
Get ready for an entertaining home renovation showdown! You may not believe this, but some of the quirkiest homes across America have the unlikely title of “Ugliest House in America.” This season, the spotlight shines on a notably distinct home in Jenison, Michigan, famed for its outrageous design. It has earned the tongue-in-cheek nickname “Carpet Castle” for one hilarious reason – it’s covered from floor to ceiling in carpet!
The “Carpet Castle,” built in 1920, has a generous space of 2,727 square feet, offering three cozy bedrooms and a single bathroom. But what truly makes this house unique is its breathtaking 7.4 acres of stunning riverfront access. Just picture the serene mornings with a cup of coffee as you gaze at the water! While its unconventional style may not be everyone’s cup of tea, this curious home has managed to secure a spot in this year’s finals.
Kicking off its sixth season, the show began in 2022 and is hosted by the fabulous Marietta “Retta” Sirleaf. Each episode takes viewers on a journey to discover the most bizarre homes across the nation, highlighting their design missteps. The most recent episode, titled “Great Lakes, Great Ugly”, aired on June 9, 2023, featuring not just the infamous “Carpet Castle” but also two other wacky Michigan residences: a UFO-shaped house in DeWitt Township and an imaginative creation called the SS Huronia house, which looks like a boat!
The UFO home definitely stands out with its peculiar rounded design, unusual hallways, and circular windows that might confuse any guest! Navigating a typical layout in such eccentric constructions can be quite the challenge. On the other hand, the SS Huronia, built in 1936, boasts five bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, complete with an incredible roof deck for those warm summer nights. These homes were evaluated based on their unconventional designs, with the “Carpet Castle” being declared the region’s ugliest.
The real excitement of the series unfolds as the winner receives a jaw-dropping $150,000 renovation courtesy of designer Alison Victoria. Can you imagine how fabulous this transformation will be? The show not only showcases these peculiar homes but also presents an amazing opportunity for homeowners to turn a disaster into a delightful dream home. For many, that aspiration of a beautiful residence could be just one episode away.
If you haven’t had a chance to catch the show yet, fear not! The program airs at various times, giving you ample opportunity to sit back, relax, and see these remarkable transformations unfold. Whether you’re a home improvement junkie or just in for a good laugh at wildly strange design choices, there’s something in it for everyone!
If home renovations are on your mind or if you enjoy keeping up with the newest home design trends, now might be the ideal moment to unleash those creative thoughts. While the “Carpet Castle” steals the spotlight in the world of the bizarre, every home holds untapped potential, waiting to be transformed into something extraordinary.
So, what’s your take? Is your home ready to gear up for its own makeover showdown? Tune in, seek inspiration, and who knows? You just might become the next star of a thrilling home renovation competition!
