You may have heard of, or even seen, the house made of rock and glass bottles in Tucson. For a long time it was a bed and breakfast known as Anna's Bottle House. Built in the 1960s, it was one of the earlier experiments in the art of recycling, featuring exterior walls that were constructed by stacking used glass bottles in mortar. The bottles are exposed to let in the light. Are you intrigued by the idea? Well, let's take a look inside, because this house is on the market!
It's not bottles everywhere. The interior walls are made of local stone or concrete brick. The floors are, of course, flagstone. Even the furniture, a couch, dining tables, and several beds, are made of concrete! It's got three fireplaces, and a wood-burning stove. The property is officially listed as three bedrooms and three bathrooms, but there are several alcoves that were originally designed as bedrooms. The kitchen has modern amenities.
This home has two buildings: the main house and a guest house, connected by arches built in the same artistic manner, with an extra outdoor kitchen. The living space is 2,700 feet, on a 2.53-acre lot. Take a look at 48 photographs of the Bottle House at the real estate listing to see the many details.
Living in this house would be an incredible adventure. I would be wary of having to dust the many bottle necks sticking out from the walls, and the unimaginable difficulty of changing anything. But isn't it cool to look at? -via Zillow Gone Wild
