An unusual home that looks like a spaceship is ready for a new owner to board. The dome home<\/a> in Somonauk, IL,<\/a> is available for $599,000.<\/p>\n

The owner \u201cbought the land in 2000 and it took three years to construct the house,\u201d explains Mark Altamore<\/strong>, who is co-listing the property along with Ro Malik<\/strong>. Both are with Keller Williams ONEChicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe always wanted a dome home, so he bought the land and constructed it,\u201d says Altamore.<\/p>\n

The curved structure is covered in cedar shake shingles with a copper cap. It offers a whopping 4,018 square feet of living space.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ll never find another home like it. I just love the knotty pine that runs through it,\u201d Altamore says. \u201cIf I had $600,000, I\u2019d buy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main floor hosts most of the living spaces, including a large kitchen and two bedrooms with bathrooms. The other bedrooms, including the primary suite, are in the large loft.<\/p>\n

A multipiece column runs through the center of the house, providing both support and architectural interest. The ceilings are all knotty pine, and the floors are oak.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love the beams. The woodwork is just amazing,\u201d Altamore says.<\/p>\n

At one time, the home was able to rotate on its 12-foot foundation using two motors, Altamore says. The son who inherited the property from his builder father has never tried rotating it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a climate-controlled metal building mainly used for storage. The sale includes 5 acres, and Altamore says the buyer could put horses on the land. The location is about an hour outside of Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n
