If these walls could talk, they would remain trapped.
A unique Arizona property made from a glass bottle that doubles as a work of art is on the market for $432,500.
The Tucson home dates back to the 1960s. Inspired by the ruins of ancient human societies, a couple named Theodore and Meletis Bryson decided to build a carport made of scrap wood that would blend in with the surrounding desert.
That was just the beginning — the Brysons went on to build entire custom homes using bottles and rocks they had collected over the years, says the agent with Coldwell Banker Realty. Holly Greenhalgh told the Post.
“Ted Bryson has an affinity for the engineers who designed and built Egypt's giant stone pyramids,” a news outlet said at the time the couple first built their home.
“Ancient architects didn't have fancy tools, and neither did Ted Bryson, who longed to visit the pyramids and ruins of the Mayans and Incas of Central and South America,” the reporter said.
Mr Bryson, who sold the locally famous property in the 1980s, has since passed away, but not before visiting the aforementioned ruins, which he had long dreamed of visiting.
Now, his homestead artwork is looking for a new caretaker.
Highlights of the custom home include a hidden room above the reading room (currently closed, Greenhalgh said), two accessible reading rooms, wood-beam ceilings and arches. It features molded walkways, concrete and flagstone floors, built-in concrete cabinetry, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 2,700 square feet.
There is also a guest cottage with an adjacent outdoor kitchen and workshop, complete with a full-size custom cement cast pool table.
