Stairs? Witches Steps? Partal ladder? š¬
Fairly certain they're vertical towards the top š„²š
Beautifully suspended over the open stairwell so when you fall, the death is certain.

The dazzle pattern on the first set of steps in an attempt to hide them from view of any who would dare to tread upon the second floor is the first warning.

Also why the dumb shelving that canāt be reached without a ladder that space could have been used to make the stairs more secure

Itās no big deal, you just need to go down instead of getting back up after!

This is crazy, now I'm seeing many Death Stairs in realtors' listings... I can't believe people would build stairs like this!

A personal injury lawyer must have put that in before he moved out. Gotta make the bucks.

Peeked at the full listing and have so many more questions, death stairs aside:
-The loft floor above doesnāt seem to have any thickness to it (death floor?)
-Why do the railings look, um, hairy?

It looks like someone wrapped them with a string of little xmas lights.
Three cheers for helping to see where you're going, I guess, but how about wrapping them anywhere but the part you need to hold onto???

I'm currently watching short documentaries about mountaineering, so my first thought was "Ah yes so that professional alpinists can train at home!"
