A buddy has been working on a geodesic home on his property in central Florida for several decades. I'm not sure it will ever be occupied. That said, this looks like a complete maintenance nightmare, not to mention so frighteningly out of date that unless you were hosting weekend cosplay Austin Powers parties, it really needs to be bulldozed. Really. For the good of all things holy it needs to go away.

Not a single tub or shower in the entire house. Though there does appear to be a sauna.

Looks like there's a sink in one of the bedrooms. Wonder if that counts as a half bath.

There's at least one portable electric heater in a bedroom.

This needs a remodel by bic or at least 500k to bring it up to speed. Inside. Then comes the land scape which apparently was designed as UFO landing pad.
Maybe. There's obviously water damage and the construction quality just looks subpar. How much of that is superficial is the question but my guess is it's not. It's poorly build through and through and more suitable as either a funky semi-habitable cabin or a teardown.

I would not like to live in this house. It is completely unappealing to me.

Electric heat, including portable heaters. Washer and drying in the kitchen. Not a single tub or shower. Windows clouded over. Roofing down to tar paper all along the bottom, ...

Seems poorly designed, and poorly constructed.

What kind of architect was this?

I think a can of gas and a match would be a big improvement. The home might have been popular 40-50 years ago, but it is just a terrible eye sore today. That stripper pole looks classy.

Just looking at the pictures, I think I need a tetanus shot.

Hard no from me. While interesting it doesn't meet my desires.
