How magnificent is this place?
The views from the multiple decks are every bit as magnificent as you'd expect.
This home has an interesting history that explains its unique appearance. It was designed and built by John Kahn. Kahn was a bassist who collaborated with Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead.
Kahn was also a close friend of Jim Henson and occasionally worked as a set designer for both The Muppets and Fraggle Rock.
His creative juices were certainly flowing when he made this beautiful home!
Check out that gorgeous spiral staircase that leads up to the top-floor bedroom.
The property was actually originally a quarry park. It's now got five beautiful acres of wooded forest to explore, and there are even a few of Kahn's original sculptures tucked away throughout the land.
The round shape and many windows allow for so much natural light to come in. The home is primarily made of reclaimed materials, including bamboo and copper. Everything looks absolutely stunning bathed in the New York sun.
This unique house in New York is a work of art and it's certainly one of a kind!
