I came across this article and photo array on Zillow featuring an AMAZING glass house overlooking the ocean in Laguna Beach, California. The floor to ceiling windows give the appearance of floating over the ocean.
Another cool feature is the “tunnel” you have to walk through to reach the house. Apparently this property is really two parcels of land, one that you can see from the road, the walking tunnel in between both, and the second parcel has the house and is hidden from the road. With almost a $10 million price tag, this could be the perfect hidden getaway for someone with lots of dough.
(Although check out the tower of stairs leading up to the house…you’d have to be in really good shape to purchase this house!)
But I wonder how long this 4-bedroom, 5-bath glass house has been on the market. Years ago it seemed like anything that was too customized was difficult to sell because not everyone would have the same likes or taste. But in the years before the market bubble burst, many people wanted to get away from the cookie cutter homes and express more of their individuality with more unique or customized designs.
Of course, in this down economy with little evidence of a turnaround, selling any house is a challenge. But do you think it’s still difficult to sell custom-designed houses? What are the most unique properties you’ve seen listed? Feel free to leave a comment below 😉
