We’ve got some really unusual homes in New York. We’ve got historic homes, homes designed by famous people, and some places that are just plain wacky. One Empire State residence that definitely belongs in all three of those categories is a fanciful home in Saugerties. This place is absolutely whimsical and has ties to both the Grateful Dead and The Muppets. The quirky towering home looks straight out of a fairy tale, and if you’ve got a spare $799,000 lying around, it could be yours.
