Is this house for sale in Texas an optical illusion? Because….what is happening?

A house for sale in the Lone Star state is drawing attention thanks to its strange — yet original — design.

The four-bedroom, six-bathroom estate, which is listed for $2.25 million in Houston, Texas, almost seems more like a work of art than a house. Staring at it from the front presents an optical illusion, thanks to a desperately high front door and apparent narrowness.

You enter the door and go to the right? Hmmm???” someone asked.

“I like this better than 90% of the mansions,” one person said.

“Previous owner was 30’ tall,” another tweeted.
