Late Night Real Estate: The ’70s Spaceship House
As we here at Very Famous get BACK. INTO. ACTION. it’s time to resuscitate Late Night Real Estate. You know when it’s 1 am, and you’re searching Zillow for houses for rent under $1500 in Yucca Valley? That sort of surreal, ASMR, escape-this-city feeling is exactly the vibe of Late Night Real Estate. A good pick consists of a blend of these characteristics:
🌟 Too weird
🌟 Too normal
🌟 Very expensive
🌟 Very affordable
🌟 An “I left everything for this” vibe
🌟 Fun
And with that, we bring you tonight’s pick: The ’70s Spaceship House
This lil house is so strange and so retro that it feels almost too on the nose, but it’s simply too great not to feature. In La Selva Beach, California, this spaceship home is a one-bedroom (intimate!) home selling for $1,200,000. In spite of the over-the-top, elegant submarine feel of it, it looks like a home you could still make your own without feeling like you’re living in a roadside tourist attraction (who are we kidding, that sounds great!)
It was built in 1969 by Mary Gordon, a landscape architect from Palo Alto. Now owned by a Cynthia Williams, she says of the home: “The flowing, curving and organic shape of this special house is what first attracted me to it. I have since fallen in love with how the space makes me feel when I am in it; completely at peace and creatively free. It has been an honor to be part of the narrative of this home and add my own interpretation in the redesign of the space.”
If you live in this home, you, too, will be moved to release a beautiful PR statement about it! Everything about this spaceship feels like a portal to another world, from the curving white walls to the ‘70s-TV-screen windows to the completely lush greenery you’re surrounded by. Hop on this Jetsons home today! See more photos here.
ALSO, a fun tip: The LA Times Hot Property newsletter is really fab, and it tells you things like who won the bidding for The Brady Bunch house in Studio City (hint: NOT Lance Bass) to informing you know that 10 years ago “Bond girl Denise Richards listed her place in Hidden Hills at $4.25 million.”
