Half of this mirror house for sale is hidden. Seeing it

Something you don’t see every day has hit the Guilford, Vermont real estate market for a surprisingly good price.

It’s called The Mirror House, and the one-bathroom bedroom is so called, well, because its exterior resembles a mirror. It is listed for $689,000. And although it is only 90 square meters in size, it gives the illusion of more space.

“Built in 2022, this remarkable home transcends the ordinary and offers an unparalleled living experience,” according to the listing on Realtor.com.

“Designed for relaxation, this hybrid home features an amazing shelter or underground component housing the main living area, and an above-ground passive solar mirror room offering a 360 degree view of the grounds, highlighted by the fascinating natural pond with its beautiful sounds and sights of the nature. nature.”

The main house is reached via “a glass-roofed staircase,” according to the listing, which takes you underground to the earth-sheltered part of the house where the living area is located.

“It doesn’t have a mirrored room like some people thought,” listing agent Christopher Long tells Realtor. “It’s more of a feeling you get from the outside. When you’re inside, it’s almost like being outside with its glass walls. There are no wall panels and hardly any seams.”

The unique floor plan includes:

• kitchen

• Calmness

• Sauna

• Stone fireplace

• Deck

• Barbecue area

• Views

“It’s not a big place, so for a lot of people it’s a size limitation,” Long told Realtor. “It is critical to know that the building is not located in the middle of a 60-acre site. It does have a neighbor with communal living space across the street that you can see through the trees.”

The listing is in the hands of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate/The Masiello Group.

Guilford is located approximately 80 miles east of Albany, New York.
