For those who have lived under a rock, Schrute is a salesman and assistant to the regional manager on the NBC comedy series “The Office” and is played by comedian Rainn Wilson.

Everything else in the comfortable home looks perfectly normal — from its bright sunroom to its built-in breakfast bar, to its wood flooring, the 2,509-square-foot house has a lot to offer a family.

  • Walking trailers

But let’s be honest — it’s the Schrute root that pulled your attention. At least that’s why the home turned the heads of fans on the popular Facebook real estate page Zillow Gone Wild.
