#unusual architecture

This unusual stone pod-like 1985 home in Tiverton, RI only has 1bd, but 3ba, although there's lots of room b/c it's 5,564sqft, and looks more like a castle inside, than any of the castle-type homes we've seen so far. $1.575m.

The stone walls look very castle-like, don't they? They've got some stained glass windows, as well as, clear leaded glass.

The kitchen has two-toned cabinetry, granite counters, and medieval lighting fixtures. It's very nice. They even have different granite counters that add more interest.

Curved ceilings in a hall that connects to the other part of the house.

There's a living room area in the round building with this stone wood stove in the middle and a loft above.

It appears that they use this little sunroom, rather than the living room.

In this wing of the home, they have a pretty large office. If the new owner doesn't need an office, this would make a nice sunroom or even an art studio.

Now, we're heading toward the primary bedroom suite.

This nice shower room is 1 of 3 bathrooms in the house. What an interesting sink- it has big bird feet, and look at the throne.

Here we are, in a spacious open room with a skylight above the bed.

Check out this massive marble tub in the ensuite.

Very large bath. Look at the stone wall around the sink.

What's up in the loft.

It's not very big, but maybe a small bedroom would fit up here.

There's also lots of potential in the basement.

The garage is huge.

I wonder why they built the house so spread out like this. There's a lot of property and a deck on the back.

There's even a pond on the property.

You get a whopping 43 acres of land with this house.

Parmar's footwear, another shop gone out of business after many years of successful trading. The shop is unusual in that the only way to enter the rest of the building is to climb a flight of stairs.

This extended version of him making the chocolate bar is absolutely fantastic. I appreciate how much planning and effort has to go into making a project of this scale, and the shorter edits kind of elide that.

Whatever this 1960 thing in Running Springs, CA is, it has a pending sale. 2bds, 1ba, 784 sq. ft. $250k. We have to see what it looks like inside.

Entering the front door. OK, so here we see the sweeping ceilings matching the roof lines. Neat how they got a carpet to match the shapes & colors. Looks like a kitchen counter to the left of the entrance.

They've got a TV there, but no chairs in front of it. Is that a cut-out square in the entrance and a step up? That's weird.

Cute little retro fireplace in the corner, but I don't see any seating, if this is supposed to be the living room.

Looking at the space from the kitchen, there doesn't appear to be much room for anything. This sink strikes me as odd- is that a drain on top?

So, this is the kitchen. Dated.

The standard, preferred oak cabinets of the period, laminate counters, no dishwasher. This would be adorable if it was upgraded.

Since there's only room for 2 chairs at the counter, maybe the space where you come thru the door is meant for a table. Kind of odd that they put the sink there, instead of by the window.

Maybe this room is meant to be the living room, then. There isn't a whole wall and it looks like they also have a portable screen. This home is confusing.

Okay, so this must be the living room with access to the deck.

Then this would be the primary bedroom. Nice, if you like angular spaces.

The bath has cool gray fixtures. Too bad they couldn't get a toilet seat to match.

Plus, a fiberglass tub unit.

The patio isn't very wide and features a large shed.

The shed appears to be raised. There's no garage, but lots of room for parking.

The yard is fenced, but needs work, b/c it's just dirt, and there's also a smaller shed.

The 7,182 sq ft lot appears to go uphill.

Shimenawa! Very cool. (This one's the biggest/grandest in Japan currently, per Wikipedia.)
