It was supposed to be the future of Florida construction. Instead a geodesic dome home<\/a> is a rare find in Miami<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Multiple offers came in even before the 6,045-square-foot home officially hit the market in early February for $1,850,000. It\u2019s now pending sale, according to Realtor.com\u00ae.<\/p>\n

The curved construction on a half-acre lot is a design marvel.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts footprint is very minimal from an external viewpoint. When you\u2019re walking up to the house, you\u2019re obviously intrigued by the dome and the shape of the house, but you don\u2019t really experience the magnitude of it until you walk inside,\u201d says listing agent Avi Werde<\/strong>, with Compass.<\/p>\n

Inside, he continues, \u201cyou\u2019re awestruck by the volume and height that you get.\u201d<\/p>\n

Futuristic design<\/h2>\n

The seller is the original owner of the house, which was built in 1985. Werde says the inspiration comes from the U.S. pavilion at Expo 67 World\u2019s Fair, now known as the Montreal Biosphere, by dome designer Buckminster Fuller<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe geodesic shape was pitched as the future because it was supposed to be able to withstand the elements a lot better than the traditional houses that were in South Florida at the time,\u201d Werde explains. \u201cIt was supposed to take off as an engineering marvel that would work well in an extreme weather environment, but it didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

The five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home features original touches from the 1980s, including colorful carpets, a retro bathroom, and a red-and-white kitchen.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to put yourself in the mindset of the futuristic design that came along with the \u201980s,\u201d Werde says. \u201cIt\u2019s all working and could be lived in as is.\u201d<\/p>\n

The home has three levels, and the entry is located on the raised mezzanine level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you walk in, the spherical dome shape just hits you. It\u2019s incredible,\u201d Werde says. \u201cThere are several hexagonal-shaped skylights all across the dome. Wherever you go, you\u2019re getting amazing natural light coming from everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The living space and the main bedroom are on this floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything kind of circulates around, so when you walk in, you\u2019re walking into a foyer that greets you and then into the formal living room,\u201d he explains. \u201cEverything inside is essentially modular in shape. The kitchen is in the middle and can be accessed from everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

The third level is a loft space that comes off a spiral staircase in the main bedroom and isn\u2019t included in the official square footage of the house.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can be additional lounge space, art space, library space, etc. What the space could be used for is really endless,\u201d Werde says. \u201cWhen you\u2019re up there, you feel like you\u2019re in a treehouse. You\u2019re so high and you have the skylights above you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Four more bedrooms and more amenities can be found on the lower level.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a huge rec space and another room with an indoor lap pool and access to a sauna,\u201d Werde says. \u201cThere\u2019s also a workshop and a darkroom for developing photography.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
