i want this house

 It’s been a good year for D work wise and we’re considering buying a house.  The market’s tough here and the neighborhood hasn’t come down in price like the rest of the city.  Anyhow, an eagle eyed friend sent us a link to a house that’s on the market that’s pretty much my dream house.
The house was built in 1958 by the architect Allyn Morris and served as his own home and studio.  It’s about $50K more than we wanted to pay but it’s had a complete renovation so there wouldn’t be any expense to customizing it.  Also, much of the furniture is built in so we would probably need to get rid of 90% of our stuff. He was a student of Frank Lloyd Wright and as it is with those homes when you move in you bring your clothes, your dishes, and that’s about it. Everything else from dressers to beds to couches is built into the structure. 
Because it’s mostly glass and brick there’s very little in the way of wall space for D’s art collection.  I could live with that, as fond as I am of his collection, but I’m pretty sure he’d have a hard time adjusting to that. Also the house is cantilevered off the edge of a mountain so there’s no yard. Again, I’m perfectly fine not having to take care of a garden but I know D really wanted something in the way of outdoor space. Also, the house is under 1100 square feet and only has one parking space in the carport.
All in all I can tell it’s going to remain a dream house rather than a reality. There’s not much that’s practical about it. Which makes me wonder why it’s priced as high as it is. I would have to imagine that except for a few house collectors and a few adventurous types this house would not appeal to about 90% of the home buyers out there.  It’s really special though.  I get the sense this house is built for a single person and not a couple — or a couple that are both happy with the same architectural limitations.  Don’t get me wrong, D is sure to find the house beautiful, he’s just not willing to give up on the things that he wants, nor should he.  I, on the other hand, don’t have as much desire for wall space or a garden. There’s also one very strange detail, I can live with this but I’m sure he’d have trouble. You enter the house through the master bedroom and then take a spiral staircase down to the main living area.  There’s no wall between the front door and the bed (built in).  There is a hospital style red curtain on a track that you can close creating privacy but the bedroom is like a loft above the main living space.  I know that as happy a couple as we are I like having a door I can close every now and then… Particularly when he’s listening to Steely Dan or Patti Smith. 
But seriously, how cool would it be to live in this James Bond house?
