We've got a few of those in our area..affectionately called just domes, hippy houses. The acoustics are awesome and its like being inside a speaker. Hard to sweep dirt in to corners though.

Hi Andrew, I have had a few calls on it already, hope to show it on Monday! Formerly it houses a business but has been in residential use for the past 20+ years.

I had relatives that built a dome house just outside Cleveland. It was huge inside. They lived there for 20 years before getting tired of it.

Mary, Your description of the home and layout was fabulous.  I believe we has a geodesic home in Parker.  I have never been in one.  I am curious, though.
