Tolkien fans can live out their Lord of the Rings fantasies courtesy of a Hobbit-esque home which has hit the market for $425,000 in Pennsylvania.
Described as an ‘arch tech’ home by realtors, the abode features a curved grass roof which is said to ‘keep heating and cooling costs low.’
The unique abode was built in 1988 on a four acre lot and it marks the first time it has gone on sale since it was constructed.
Photos of the home’s clean, white washed interiors show how rooms on the second floor – including the primary bedroom – have arched ceilings while the rooms on the ground floor follow a more traditional format.
