A
one-of-a-kind dome home in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is on the market for $1.9 million. The property has become a local celebrity due to its striking appearance, which has drawn comparisons to everything from cinnamon buns to a wasp's nest.
Built in 1977 by an orthodontist named Dr. Luther Bruce with the help of an architect friend, the home features seven interconnected domes that span over 6,000 square feet. The unique design provides excellent insulation and geothermal heating, making it warm and cozy year-round.
The interior resembles a '90s modernist time capsule, complete with plaster walls, angular windows, and a spiral staircase lit up by one of seven skylights. The home's exterior has been renovated over the years, including the addition of new decks and a custom-made metal roof that cost over $400,000.
Locals have affectionately nicknamed the property "the onion house" or "the boba tea house," reflecting its distinctive appearance. Despite being visible from the road, the home remains private due to its wooded location. The current owners took up residence in 1991 and undertook extensive renovations before listing the property for sale.
