The home went viral after leaving potential buyers gobsmacked by its unusual interior.
Nearly every room in the house has been decorated in varying shades of purple, from walls, curtains, and decor.
The owners varied up their aesthetics with a metallic purple in the living room, while a chequered accent wall added drew attention to their office space.
LED lights of the same colour have also been installed in the ceilings, if the paint, pillows and rugs weren't enough.

One wrote: “This might actually be the worst thing I’ve ever seen,” and added “if the Addams family’s house was remade on the Sims by a goth teenager taking inspo from emo Tumblr pages.”
Another agreed: “That black wood decking and the black shed juxtaposed with all those (8?) fire extinguishers makes it look like a post-arson fire investigation forensics photo.
“This is one of the worst houses I’ve seen (without an upholstered, grey, crushed velvet, lion-headed, door knocker bar stool in sight) and yet I kind of grudgingly admire the owners for picking and sticking to a theme, peculiar and misguided as it is.”
“You can't deny they weren't 100 per cent committed to the vision. It's just that the vision was ‘someone assassinated Tim Burton with a glitter bomb," someone else said.
