Price: $299,000
Why it’s here:
Who needs house guests when your house is decked out with dolls?

Dolls adorn the shelves and line the stairs. There’s even a life-size statue of Elvis, and one of the three bedrooms is designed in his honor. Another is overflowing with dolls lined along the walls, crowded in cribs, and tucked away in a scary bassinet centerpiece.

Seemingly, every inch of the 2,832-square-foot home is staged with toys.

If you dare to go downstairs, there’s another doll on a riding horse. The creep factor notwithstanding, the doll-filled house has already attracted one buyer and is pending sale.
