Would you be the first to buy this fairy tale house that is one of several designed & built by David & Jenny Lee, a builder & an artist. It’s on the market for $377,000 and is located in Maine.

It’s got a garage that looks like it could house an apt.

They’ve incorporated all sorts of nooks, crannies, and turrets.

There are swinging beds and swinging chairs.

Some beds even slide out of the wall.

In this bedroom there’s a swinging bed and a flat screen over the tub.

One of the selling points is that the home packs a lot of features into a small footprint. The kitchen isn’t large, but they did put a lot of work into it.

The 2,000-square-foot home, built from wood and stone, features intricate wood carvings, stained-glass windows, and handmade light fixtures.

“It’s not a traditional floor plan by any means,“ the realtor says. “It’s a very unique living space, and I think that the idea is that we humans are very adaptable.”

People sometimes come in and ask where the master bedroom is. Technically, there isn’t one.

The home has a garage, workshop, and storage.

Laundry room.
