FIRST on tonight's special #BlackFriday edition of #FridayNightZillow: A super-unique California mansion.

$5.5M, Huntington Beach. You guys asked for weird! zillow.com/homedetails/44…

Yes, that's a wooden model train above the bar. #FridayNightZillow

Now this is a range hood. #FridayNightZillow

This garage is ... unique. #FridayNightZillow

This would be superior TV placement in the living room. Perhaps a tad low for the bedroom? #FridayNightZillow

Up next on #FridayNightZillow: Versailles on the beach. Florida, of course. Certified Bonkers McBonkerspants. $25M — just barely high enough to qualify for the estate tax! zillow.com/homedetails/42…

This is a bedroom. #FridayNightZillow

*This* is a bathroom. #FridayNightZillow

This laundry room is acceptable. #FridayNightZillow

What's this guy doing here? #FridayNightZillow

Not sure if all the art conveys. But the walkway to the gym is kind of intense. #FridayNightZillow

So, looking for something cheap but still nice? $192,900 buys you a fantastic couple's retreat in Hedgesville, West Virginia on four acres w/creek. A mere 2 hours from DC. zillow.com/homedetails/52…

Cute as a button. Expand it. Air BnB it. No HOA. No zoning? #FridayNightZillow

Posting this very expensive house in Colorado for one reason: This bed is apparently *suspended from the ceiling*

What's that about??? #FridayNightZillow

Kids rooms should all have slides. I think slides are vastly underused as a safe & low-carbon means of transport. #FridayNightZillow

Programming note: Most of these homes tonight were found by my wife and my sister-in-law. If you stay up late enough you'll see some of the many affordable mansions I found in Ohio. #FridayNightZillow

Had to go to Realtor dot com to find the house with the weird fireplace *inside the pool.* Also has a bathtub/fireplace combo and an old-fashioned lazyboy chair theater. Worth a quick click through. Already pending though. #FridayNightZillow realtor.com/realestateandh…

A Copper Castle in Oklahoma with a price cut. $959,000 gets you 6BR, 9BA, nearly 7K square feet, a distinctive design and a decent sized property. Why do we live in expensive places again? #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/90…

It does come with a party shower. #FridayNightZillow

In Mississippi, $955,500 buys you a really big house on 3 acres. But that's not why I'm posting this quirky mansion... #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/37…

Can we all agree that dark green, like mauve, purple, black and orange, really aren't good bathroom colors? #FridayNightZillow

This TV placement might be the most insane thing I've seen this week, and I cover Congress. #FridayNightZIllow zillow.com/homedetails/37…

I wonder if once they got that heavy CRT up there they were like, the heck with it, we aren't taking it down and replacing it with, say, a modern television. #FridayNightZillow

But what really got this house on #FridayNightZillow was the billiards room with the plywood floor and the murals. I need to know what's going on here. Any ideas?

Affordable housing alert. $159K buys you a 4BR, 2BA place in Colorado. "Southwestern Hacienda" with panoramic views. It must have a catch? #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/61…

The listing doesn't mention that it has air conditioning but it looks like there's a wall unit? #FridayNightZillow

Next house is probably the first one tonight I actually really like. $670K buys you a 5BR, 3BA converted mill in Hackettstown, New Jersey. A cool building about an hour and 15 minutes from Manhattan. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/18…?

Another taxidermist's paradise. Texas ranch with *dozens* of animals on the walls and "Bone Collector" decor, including a Bone Collector shower curtain. The usual warning NOT to click, though I've seen worse. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/99…

Next up: a real "Paradise Found" fantasy mansion. $12.9M. The writeup on Zillow is a masterpiece of conspicuous consumption name-dropping. That bed looks cozy! Florida. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/24…

Next up: "New Construction" nearly $40M home in Pebble Beach. You are paying for breathtaking views. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/31…

They style mostly isn't my taste, but I do really like this couch in the excellent library. #FridayNightZillow

This might be the best of many megamansion movie theaters I've seen for actually watching a movie. #FridayNightZillow

Next up: We'll end with a flurry of cheap, affordable-ish Ohio mansions. #FridayNightZillow

OHIO represent. $649,900 buys you nearly 12,500 square feet of home converted from a school. It's weird, it's crazy, it's cheap, it's #FridayNightZillow. W/pool. zillow.com/homedetails/25…

Again, I'm not sure why the hot tub is in the bed room. It's not like they didn't have room to put the hot tub somewhere else, like a bathroom? #FridayNightZillow

So, for the almost shockingly low price of $1.99M, you can get a truly colossal, nearly 20K square feet mansion in Dayton, Ohio. That sort of understates how big the place really is because the ceilings are so high. #FridayNightZillow

The bedroom. That TV must be ancient but at least they didn't put it on the ceiling. #FridayNightZillow

You could probably use this as a wedding/party venue with some modifications? #FridayNightZillow

Here's the link to the Dayton megamansion #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/13…

The decor in this ~$1.5M, 15,720 sf Ohio megamansion is a retro hoot. Some intricate woodwork but a bit dated. I want the library furniture though! #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/15…

We've got an Akron megamansion here. $2.449M. >15K sf. Can't seem to sell. Hmm. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/48…

You can also get just really big houses for, like, $349,900. It's madness over there in Ohio. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/23…

Or, say, a big 5BR, 5BA house on 7 acres for, what $499K??? This is a perfectly fine if boring house in Ohio. We should all move there. #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/13…

Love this restored, historic home. 8BR, 7BA, 7,500 sf for just $575K? 10 minutes from Cleveland??? HOW? #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/18…

Going to end it with a Black Friday bargain hunter special in Ohio. $99,500 buys you a 6BR, 5BA home converted to five apartments. Could use some work, but... #FridayNightZillow zillow.com/homedetails/18…

Have a lot more Ohio mansions but at some point they all run together. Hope you enjoyed another edition of #FridayNightZillow and see you next week.
