This funky beach house has my brain afire and wanting to reach for my checkbook. Just $799K,” Dennis said on Twitter. “Oregon. Featured in National Geographic long ago. It’s art!”

Not sure how you put most furniture - like a bed or desk or bureau - in either of these houses that don’t have many walls at right angles. Or how a tall person stands near a wall with all the slanted roof lines,” another person wondered.

“I could live here. It’s right on the beach! But it’s probably pretty cold in the winter - thank goodness for the sauna,” someone tweeted.

I’ve been online fantasy retirement home shopping all over the coast of Oregon and Washington and I saw that one!! Love it!” one person said.

Beautiful but it hurts my brain,” another complimented.
