I want this house. I mean, c'mon, it has "an entrance staircase that retracts with the push of a button"!→[More:] My brother and his family live within about 15 miles of this house, but I've never seen it. Gotta work on that.
You and me in a bidding war BP, unless we can go all hippie-like and share it. :) I don't take up too much space but have cats. WIll have to get the cat a rocket-pack so he can fly outside I guess.
We have cats, too- we'll pool our resources to build a modular CatPod that attaches to the outside of the house, like a shuttle. The cats can sun themselves on it while it orbits the house on rails.
Imagine looking out the kitchen window as a pod full of cats drifts lazily by.
When I was a kid, I always thought the future would be more like that.
At the risk of sounding all jfrancis-y (see here), I saw this yesterday and almost sent it to you. I can't view your link in the office, but the video I saw of the house had interior shots and is on YT.
I couldn't wait till lunchtime to watch, so I see it DID sell!
Wow, the place needs some attention, it appears. New decking on the porch, lose the country-ish furniture and the old kitchen cabinets, replace it all with chrome, glass, and plastic.
I hope the new owner has an IKEA credit card. That's the kind of furniture you need in a place like that.
This was in our paper the other day - it looks mega cool from the outside (if a little rough around the edges), but all those tiny windows must make it pretty dark. Looove the staircase, though.
