If a Goth-style castle won\u2019t sell, maybe a Barbie-inspired, pink-hued pad will?<\/p>\n

An imaginative seller opted to run with the \u201cBarbie\u201d movie trend, dramatically reimagining her vacation rental property<\/a>\u00a0in historic Hudson, WI.\u00a0The place is now a vivid, rosy shade and is on the market for $1.1 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the Barbie trend came up, [the owner] said, \u2018I need to paint the 2nd Street house pink for Barbie, and I need to theme it Barbie,’\u201d\u00a0explains listing agent Jenni Martin<\/strong>, with Edina Realty, Inc. \u2013 Woodbury. \u201cSo that\u2019s exactly what she did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Think pink<\/h2>\n

The seller owns another house and several buildings that are also pink.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is her signature color,\u201d Martin says.<\/p>\n

The Victorian home has been listed since last summer for $1.1 million.<\/p>\n

And if you think you\u2019ve seen this house before, you might be right. The now-pink palace was once a spooky-fun, goth-themed<\/a> castle.<\/p>\n

A year later and still available, the home has changed its identity from haunted to perfectly pretty.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just something she always wanted to do,\u201d Martin says of the owner. \u201cShe really loves pink, so this made more sense.\u201d<\/p>\n

The changeover was swift and unfolded in the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very surprised,\u201d Martin says with a laugh, admitting she didn\u2019t know the pink paint job was coming. \u201cAnything is possible with this homeowner for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 5,611-square-foot home was built in 1900 and has seven bedrooms and three full baths.<\/p>\n

Rose-colored interior<\/p>\n

The house has two full kitchens, one of which is Barbie-themed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe main floor is mostly pink, and the upper level is mostly pink as well,\u201d Martin notes. \u201cThe other rooms are darker or more masculine colors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home still serves as a vacation rental, with a hot tub and pool in the backyard. There\u2019s also a family room, movie room, and a primary suite with an en suite bath, walk-in closet, and laundry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s more valuable as a themed [rental] now than it was before,\u201d Martin says. \u201cThe perfect buyer would be an investor that wants to continue the [rental] thing. I really, truly believe the way she has it set up is great.\u201d<\/p>\n

So much paint<\/h2>\n

The flexible space could easily go back to being a duplex or single-family home, Martin assures.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a single-family home, it could be ready to go probably with a week\u2019s worth of painting,\u201d she estimates, adding that a contractor told her an interior paint job would run about $5,000. \u201cI would assume a single-family buyer would want to paint.\u201d<\/p>\n
