Not all is fair and square in this whimsical cottage in Fitchburg. Built in 1985, the geodesic dome boasts an open-concept floor plan. A metal spiral staircase leads to the upper-level loft, which houses another set of pull-down stairs opening to the top of the dome. The dwelling is appropriate for year-round living, as it’s warmed by solar power, a wood stove, and two gas heaters.

Located an hour outside of the city, the curved cabin has views of Mount Wachusett and enough land for a healthy garden. The price tag reflects its condition, however, as the structure needs some TLC. It was built from a kit by the original owner, and requires some handiwork on the windows in the sunroom. For this reason, the seller requests a cash buyer.
