A Flamingo-Pink Beachfront Property, And More Of Zillow's Most Striking Homes
Last week, we took you on a tour of some of New Mexico's coolest eco-friendly earthship homes, and this time, we're back with more of the unconventional homes the US housing market has to offer.
From an unusual UFO dwelling in New York to a bright pink beach house in Indiana, here are some of the most unique homes on Zillow right now.
Cortlandt Manor, New York
This UFO-like property in New York, nicknamed the Mothership, was once owned by legendary American actor and comedian Jackie Gleason. Built in 1959 by Frank Lloyd Wright student Robert Cika, it's currently off the market — but was listed back in 2018 as part of an estate going for a whopping $12 million.

Fayetteville, Arkansas — $1,300,000
Sat on Mount Sequoyah, this unique home was designed and built by architect James Lambeth in 1973. The 3,100-square-foot structure is covered in mirror panels on all sides, and is accessible via a rather dramatic gangway.

Chappaqua, New York — $1,900,000
The second spaceship-esque house on the list is also found in New York, this time over in Chappaqua. Measuring in at more than 6,800 square feet, this domed home boasts seven bedrooms and six bathrooms — but the highlight of the place is undoubtedly its very tranquil-looking "indoor pool oasis."

Beverly Shores, Indiana — $2,500,000
You'd be pushed to find a more eye-catching home than this one in Beverly Shores, Indiana. Named "The Florida Tropical House," the property was built as part of the Homes of Tomorrow Exhibition at the World's Fair in 1933. The home, listed for a considerable $2.5 million, offers four beds, four baths, a bright, spacious living area and enviable views of Lake Michigan.
