Which one would you choose?
This tower house is something of a standalone residential sculpture — or in the words of the listing, “Burning Man meets Opus 40.” The circular home has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms spread out over its floors. The five-acre property includes the main house, a guesthouse and at least one tiki head on the grounds. The home has been on and off the market since at least April of 2015, when it was asking $675,000 and Brownstoner last wrote about it.
