Yes, it’s pretty. But how many times would I fly into the wall and fall to the floor, dazed?

    Ayiiiie! It’s the creepy metal-and-glass house from “13 Ghosts!” Yeah, it’s all gorgeous until the steel walls come down and the weird mosaics on the floor start spinning around in a sinister fashion and whatnot!

    And now I have to watch that movie again…thank you, Lovely Listing!

  2. Stuart says:

    “Nice place.”
    “Thanks. How about some music?”
    “Sure. Maybe throw on some Stones?”
    “Something tells me I shouldn’t.”
    “Yeah, maybe you’re right.”

    • Kate says:

      Hahahahahahahaha! I was gonna say something about throwing stones, but you beat me to it, and did a better job!

    I can’t see “Escher” without thinking of Labyrinth….

  4. Dawn says:

    It’s a perfect house for voyeurs and exhibitionists.

  5. Murphymom says:

    It looks like a giant aviary…(suddenly hears Jurassic Park III theme)

    Could I please have the 1910 house WITHOUT the parasitic glass and steel monstrosity attached to its back?

  8. Jenna says:

    It’s sooooo Edward Cullen.

    Man, they look funny stuck together like that. Reminds me of Biblical commandments regarding not mixing linen with wool, or plowing with ox and ass together, and so on.

    Also there’s not a stitch of a curtain visible so you’d better get on real well with your neighbors, cause your house might as well be a lighted stage as soon as the sun goes down.

  11. GinGin says:

    Everything’s so grey and white. Have the owners got something against colour?

    • bryn says:

      No, just without any curtains at all anything brought into the house fades to white or grey within a couple of days. I’m sure it said something about special colour sucking glass on the listing somewhere…

  12. VelmaDinkley says:

    I love this house so much! If only I were a billionaire, I’d have someone build me one like it – maybe with more of a futuristic theme.

  13. Exhibitionist says:

    So much for walking around the house naked or having sex outside of the bedroom, eh?

    This would be worse than living with Ceiling Cat:

      that looks alot like my brothers cat rmfao i think it is from when my mom had work done in the house. rmfao wish i came up with the tag.

  14. LollyD says:

    The outside looks like a giant paperclip holder.

    The inside looks like architectural salvage of a mall staircase. Why not just go ahead and put in an escalator?

  15. Catherine says:

    “This spatial arrangement is in stark contrast to the historic front half of the residence, creating a dialogue of space types.”

    I’m not sure I’d call it a dialogue so much as a shouting match.

  16. Jean says:

    It’s one thing to build a modern glass house like that – they can be very striking and interesting – it’s a whole other thing to attach it to a 100-year-old house! How appalling! I agree with Catherine – it’s a shouting match and the whole neighborhood is probably in pain!

    “MOM, can i have that house? “
