The famous pyramid house in Manitou Springs

I came across this unique home in Manitou Springs in my own home search a little while ago and put the listing aside for a post in the near future. Then I saw last week that bigger sites like Curbed and Reatlor.com had beat me to it and I was like – hey you big bullies, get off my turf! (Just kidding, I don’t really think like that)

So anyway, I decided to do my own post about this quirky Egyptian wanna-be house because Manitou Springs is my most favorite place in-the-whole-wide-world to go house-peeping. And I always find the most interesting and wacky homes there. Like this one:

Currently listed for sale at $650,000, this funky house has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 2,662 square feet. It was built in 1976 (AD).

Let’s have a look inside…

This home begins with a beautiful enclosed courtyard and slate entry through double doors imported from Italy.

What is that texture on the walls, you ask? That there is “torn paper“. The flooring is brick.

It gets even better in the kitchen…

Inside you will find a remodeled kitchen that includes an Egyptian Chandelier, quartsite counters, gluten free stainless counters, concrete floors and counters, Italian Irpinia cabinets, all covered by a pyramid ceiling of metal and glass.

I’ll admit that I’m a little behind on the latest trends, but what on earth are “gluten free counters”?!

Does that mean the countertops are made without using wheat bread?

In the bedrooms…

…you can sleep like an interred Pharaoh with all the modern amenities!

I love this place!

You can’t help but smile in a house like this. It is a feast for the senses.

The home is bizarre AND elegant at the same time…

I love that you can see pine trees and mountains outside of this pyramid. Only in Manitou Springs!

There’s no place like Manitou, there’s no place like Manitou…
