Real estate agent goes too far in trying to Photoshop a lush green lawn onto a suburban Australian house: 'That's the new strain of grass called 'Chernobyl''

A real estate listing for a suburban home has left internet users in stitches over its unusually green lawn. 

Real estate agency Property Gurus South Australia recently advertised the four bedroom brick home in Elizabeth Downs, north Adelaide, for $350,000.

But the listing has now gone viral online with house hunters roundly mocking how poorly Photoshopped the home's lush front and back lawn appears to be.

'That's the new strain of grass called 'Chernobyl', you should see it at night time,' one house-hunter quipped - referring to the Ukrainian town where a nuclear power station melted down in 1986.

'Also don't they realise that as soon as someone goes to an open then the jig will be up'

A third pointed out: 'You can literally see the green brush in the last picture because it's accidentally used on the tree. This is excellent.'

One respondent described how they experienced a similar incident when a real estate agent came to take photos to list their property.

'We sold our place few years ago and it was an overcast day when the photographer came to take photos. 

'When the photos were posted up, the sky had been photoshopped cause it was clear blue skies with one fluffy white cloud.'

Daily Mail Australia understands the photoshop job on the home's pictures was performed quickly. 

A real estate agent at the firm also insisted that editing the pictures wasn't illegal. It was not suggested that it was. 

Real estate agencies regularly airbrush their online listings.

Property Gurus SA has since cropped out the grass in their photos under the listing.
