With its chocolate brown siding and red-and-green embellishments, this charming home looks like an oversized gingerbread house that somehow landed on a residential street in a Boston suburb. As punchy as the exterior design is, the simple, modern interior is wholly relaxing and homey.

A Surreal Stucco Studio
34 Road To Misery, Kennebunkport, ME
Price: $679,000
Size: 1,477 square feet
Bedrooms: 3
Baths: 1
This singular, dome-shaped retreat feels like a mashup of a hobbit-hole (with the way it blends into the landscape like a gigantic rock) and a Santorini cave house (with its soothing, white stone interior walls). Except it’s neither here nor there—the sole owners of this home designed it themselves as a one-of-a-kind abode on 43 rugged, exquisite acres in Kennebunkport, and named it “Road to Misery” as an inside joke.

A Geodesic Dome Home
16 Timber Lane, Ellington, CT
Price: $429,900
Size: 3,699 square feet
Bedrooms: 3
Baths: 3.5
This rare home’s igloo-shaped frame is made up of 63 triangles, which, according to the listing agent, makes it able to support ten times the weight of a typical home. If the design looks familiar, that may be because the architect, Buckminster Fuller, was the same mastermind behind Disney World’s Epcot.
