No garage anymore so the most popular choice of electronic garage door is out (can't imagine manual door though). Only able to check the door camera (relatively recent) and granite countertop boxes.
Most of the houses were built in the 50s and 60s here. It's actually a bad thing if the interior hadn't been updated since then. Even the realtors would cringe. No new buyers these days would go for that.
My house is unique because it was custom-built in 1962, and we bought it from the original owner's estate. The kitchen and bath (and other rooms) were 100% original and that's what made me fall in love. Walking into the house is like stepping back into 1962.
House "next door" (34 acres) has an underground garage 64 x 32 for an airplane and toys as well as a truck. Does a soccer field count a unique feature? Wind and solar?
I live in an apartment complex, I was blessed(half truth, half sarcastic) with an apartment in the projects. Not sure how unique(they may all have them), but there is an electric heater built in the cieling of the bathroom, that I believe goes as high as 90*, a lot for a what I think is a 6x15 bathroom- it looks to be the size of a standard DeLonghi space heater.
We have the outhouse, but it's inside the woodshed. We heat with a woodstove.
We also have an enclosed screened deck, a sunroom, hardwood floors, a great room, vaulted ceilings, a lot of insulation, 2 skylights, and a wood-fired outdoor brick oven.
Who says you have to suffer while living in rural northern Maine?
None of the above are unique features. As they are all stuff you can go to store and buy.
Unique to me is usually something important or something famous happened in the house or house was built by someone important, house is extremely old or has an amazing view.
Frank Llloyd Wright House.
AmityVille Horror house etc.
My old GF for instance had a very unique house in my opnion it was Teddy Roosvelvts stable when he was President and use to summer in Oysterbay. They built a house attached to sable and incorporated sables. The den area still had orginal wood lats and hoods where Teddy used to tie his horse up to and that was cool.
Most "unique" house I lived in was a rental where the walk up attic was borded up and had several locks and we were told never never go up there. Periodically you would heard the sounds of someone playing pool up there which was impossible.
A few months into living there we find out that owners husband got very depressed at one point and went up stairs drank a lot of beer and played some pool on the big pool table up there and blew his brains out. The widow left it as is up there, boarded it up and rented it out.
A magic doorbell that, when rung, causes the cat to disappear for three hours.
*Poof!*
LOL! I seem to have one of those as well.
