Don’t be fooled by size of this mirror house for sale — half is hidden. Take a look
Something you don’t see every day has landed on the real estate market in Guilford, Vermont, for a surprisingly good price.
It’s called The Mirror House, and the one-bedroom, one-bathroom is called that, well, because the outside looks like a mirror. It’s listed for $689,000. And while it’s only 984 square feet, it gives off the illusion of more space.
“Built in 2022 this remarkable residence transcends the ordinary and offers an unparalleled living experience,” the listing on Realtor.com says.
“Designed for relaxation this hybrid dwelling has an amazing earth shelter or subterranean component that houses the main living area and an above ground passive solar mirror room offering 360-degree vision of the grounds highlighted by the captivating wildlife pond with its wonderful sounds and sights of nature.”
The primary dwelling can be reached through “a glass roofed staircase,” the listing notes, which leads you underground to the earth-sheltered part of the residence where the living area sits.
“It doesn’t have a room of mirrors like some people have thought,” listing agent Christopher Long tells Realtor. “It’s more a feeling you get from the exterior. When you are inside, it’s almost like you are outside with its glass walls. There aren’t any wall panels and hardly any seams as well.”
The unique floor plan includes:
Kitchen
Tranquility
Sauna
Stone fireplace
Deck
Barbecue area
Views
“It’s not a large place so for a lot of people, it’s a size limitation,” Long said to Realtor. “It’s critical to know that the building is not located in the middle of 60 acres. It does have a neighbor with communal living across the street that you can see through the trees.”
The listing is held by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate/The Masiello Group.
Guilford is about an 80-mile drive east of Albany, New York.
