A striking and futuristic mansion described by some as the "coolest house ever built" has hit the market.
The $2.4million home in Folsom, California, was built over a span of four years by an enthusiast of space-age architecture. Elevated on steel frames, it gives the impression it is floating above the ground.
This 4,000-square-foot angular home stands on a plot of land one-third of an acre atop the dry, suburban hills, drawing attention from passersby on a highway en-route to Lake Tahoe.
The impressive property features a massive wall of glass, reflecting the azure California sky and offers panoramic views, including the iconic downtown Sacramento skyline. Inside, it boasts a spacious "grand great room" with soaring ceilings, an open kitchen loft or office, and four ensuite bedrooms.
