When it comes to household decor, not everyone has matching taste. Some can lean more toward modern flare, others toward farmhouse chic.

And then there are those who enjoy a splash of color.

OK, maybe a little more than a splash.

Feast your eyes on a New York residence that’s considered “the most colorful home in Queens,” according to its listing on Realtor. Yes, this six-bedroom, four-bathroom home has stolen the spotlight in both its neighborhood and online when it comes to a popular social media real estate page.

“Welcome to a showstopper the most visually dazzling, custom-crafted home in all of Queens, and hands-down the crown jewel of Astoria and Long Island City,” the listing on Realtor.com says.

“Step through a graceful arched entryway into a candy-colored wonderland, where every room bursts with personality and soul. Think: floor-to-ceiling windows that drench the space in natural light, hand-selected chandeliers that double as sculptural art, and bold, floral-themed finishes that feel like living in an eternal spring.”

And all of this? It’s listed for $3 million.

Features throughout the home, per the listing, include:

  • Side-yard
  • Private garage
  • Third-floor rental
  • Flexible ground-level space

The home has spaces that can bring in a second income (whether one decides to rent it out as a doctor’s office or a work studio, as the listing notes).

All the colors caught the attention of Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page that highlights unique houses on the market all over the country. And, boy, did folks have opinions.

“It’s like a crayon box and Barbie house had a child,” one person joked.

“I’m fairly certain that the Mad Hatter lives here,” another said.

“Well…decisions were made,” someone noted.

“I actually like some of the rooms, they’re bright and colorful,” one person observed.
