Set among the oh, so traditional homes in Folsom, CA, is one that is not like the others.
Dubbed Space Luxe, the brand-new, futuristic-looking abode has made contact with the market: The place was listed for $2,395,000 and snagged an offer after just 12 days. It’s currently pending sale.
“I’m waiting for Judy Jetson to pull up in her flying car,” jokes listing agent Kim Pacini-Hauch, with Re/Max Gold. “It doesn’t look futuristic on the inside. It looks like a nice, modern house.”

The 4,000-square-foot house has clean lines; glass walls; and cantilevered, steel-frame construction that creates an illusion of floating.
“I think the architecture speaks for itself,” Pacini-Hauch says. “We don’t have any spaceship-style, futuristic architecture anywhere in the region, that I’ve ever seen. This house sits prominently up on a hill, surrounded by pretty conventional houses. It really stands out in a good way, because it’s unique and people are intrigued by it.”

The four-bedroom, 4.5-bath home was a retirement project for the seller and was completed in about four years.
“I saw this house when it was just a papier-mache concept on the owner’s desk, when he was designing it, and [I] said, ‘Are you really going to build that?’ Pacini-Hauch recalls. “And he said yes. This was not an easy house to engineer and design. The steel-frame construction and the cantilever elements of the house are very special.”
The sleek interiors are mostly black and white, with a few red accents. This otherworldly abode certainly attracted plenty of attention.
“It went viral as soon as I put the first picture on Instagram,” Pacini-Hauch says. “It’s making its way around the world, which is a testament to the demand for something different. It garnered a lot of attention due to the unique, futuristic design, and I think we’ll see more of it from other builders in the region. This was definitely a lot of fun to market and introduce.”
The home’s deck is a distinct highlight, with its seemingly endless views.
“You’re looking at the whole valley of Sacramento and the downtown skyline,” Pacini-Hauch says. “So you’re up high on a hill, which gives expansive valley views. And at night, it’s all lit up.”

Pacini-Hauch says the home was not on the market long enough to garner multiple offers, but there was a lot of interest.
“It’s so cool, especially for a successful millennial who wants something cutting edge and different,” she says. “This house is a trophy.”
