Sad state of the little Lane Allen pool

[Catatonic75]

Drove by the little pool today and I was disappointed to see it was a bit overgrown. And the pool has to be nasty at this point.

Does anyone have the link to the thread?

I can't get the photo to upload so here's a link.

It looks like the buyer abandoned it in the middle of the renovation.

Or the weird dolls that used to be there murder anyone that comes in the house now.

“Tiny Pool House”, BTW.

I think the pool has a gateway door under the water to another dimension. where killer dolls rule over humanity.

TINY POOL HOUSE! I've been racking my brain for what the name of that thread was. I just couldn't come up with it.

Tiny pool = Iconic landmark made famous by Hort back in 2003 or 2004.

How many ladders in the tiny pool?

Is it for sale?

I have the link to the original thread from scout but the page no longer exists. Maybe somebody can try running it through internet archive's site. Pretty bummed its gone...

It’s the “Little Pool House” not the “Tiny Pool House” just so so search the right thing.

I agree, It’s sad. First l, they cut all the trees down and removed the shrubbery and then the lady’s husband died (God rest his soul, he HAD to be a patient man). She either moved out or died. It was for sale for a while and I went through it. The dolls were creepy as hell but the Herman Munster poster in the master bedroom made it all ok. I did see twin girls in the hallway a few times but they disappeared so I figured it was my imagination. I would have bought it just to swim laps but the wife would have been mad, especially if I put it on our credit card. They wanted too much anyway. I did steal a dolls head and made a lamp, though, but it’s been talking to me so I’m thinking nah. It’s in a bag in the closet now and if I give it a burrito from time to time.

overall, it’s a sad state of affairs.

love,
Hort.

Saw this while there.

The dumpster is back in the driveway so work must be starting up again. The earth is healing.

The wife said she wants the house if it ever is for sale.

No slide no fun.
Guess you still can play Marco Polo.

I had to go to Home Depot and made a point to drive by it. That house should be considered a historical site but the sign would be as big as the pool.

JFC!! I opened this thread again and this evil piece of $#!t pops up huge on my screen. I may not sleep for days now.

Does your wife still want it?

 

[funKYcat75]

Does your wife still want it?

Ummmmmmmm, no. Considering the houses around it, that’s about 100k too much.

Psssh. If I'm ever dropping close to 400K for a house, it sure won't be 12 feet from a busy road and 1/8 mile from a stop light. I don't care how tiny the pool is. For reference, a house just down the street with the same floor plan (but sans the pool) sold last year for around 250k.

Ironic twist: that pool is 70 feet deep

Located 4 miles from Rupp Arena and 3 miles west of Commonwealth Stadium. We could all chip in, form an LLC and go AirBnB route. Get Andy Barr to assist with classifying the place as a historical landmark. Potential profits during FB and BB seasons.

Now I’m picturing the “Quake the Pool” video with a bunch of old guys and that tiny pool.

Or maybe more like Cocoon.

 

[LowerLevelSeatA]

Great Work! Dedication man! Next step up is for someone to take a picture in the pool when it opens in about 8 months. You get a picture in your trunks in the pool, you gotta be CatsPause poster of century, right?

$384K for a house on Lane Allen?

 

[funKYcat75]

Yep. Unless you are buying one of those houses back behind the Presbyterian church or on Williamsburg, they shouldn't even sniff 275K.

Wow, could be a portal to Lexington’s vast cave system?

I know real estate is crazy, but flipping a 160k house for 360k is just stupid….unless the mystery and lore of that tiny pool has really taken off.

 

[Rebelfreedomeagle]

Tiny pool house is the icon of Lexington, but there’s another strange pool that has aroused my curiosity. 1500 Wellesley Heights Way, across Versailles road from Calumet (can’t pin it on my phone). It’s the first house, the one with a 2 story medieval castle addition. I’ve assumed it was an addition that was never finished because I could see sunlight through the upper windows. Went to street view today and that thing is actually a pool enclosure, because the pool was under construction when they took the pictures. Worth a look.

I see that heading to the airport. WTF is that thing??

It’s the most imposing pool surround ever. Ain’t no peasants able to scale that wall for a dip.
