Home is where the dome is.

In a lot of ways, Florida should have more geodesic dome homes: They’re energy efficient, they can withstand extreme temperatures and they’re designed to hold-up up to significant hurricane-force winds.

They’re also pretty rare, and right now one of them in Tampa Bay area is for sale.

Located at 2512 Ayers Hill Ct, in Lutz, this particular dome home was built in 1986, which is around the time when dome home kits were relatively popular in the U.S.

Today, there aren’t many left. However, this 2,196-square-foot two-story dome has only had one owner, and comes with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as a pool, tons of skylights and a 700-square-foot garage.

The dome is currently asking $625,000, and the listing agent is Dick Nielsen of Keller Williams.
