Description

Own a rare piece of architectural history: one of only 20 ''Round'' homes designed and built by Anton Kratochvil between 1939 and 1969. This 2 bed, 1 bath ranch offers a full unfinished basement and is sold as-is, making it an ideal match for a buyer with vision and a drive to create something unforgettable. Natural light pours through the kitchen skylight, the fenced yard provides privacy for outdoor living, and the detached 1.5 car garage gives practical storage. This home combines history, character, and potential in a way few properties ever do. Opportunities to secure a residence this distinctive are limited, and when it's gone, it's gone.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from October 24, 2025
