Stone Cold Bunkin’ in My Worcester County Bunkah

Share News:

bunkahIt’s not just readers that like to send me weird listings now. I have friends that like to send me weird listings, and this week’s Wednesday WTF in Worcester County, Massachusetts comes courtesy one of my friends, a Realtor and contractor near Boston, Massachusetts.

Sidebar: If you ever need a house remodeled or built in the Boston area, shout me, because I have the sweet hookup.

So this home she sent me actually looks pretty cool. I mean, I’d live in it. But uh, it is unusual, or it wouldn’t have made it to this weekly feature, right?

Meet the Bunkah House. I’m saying it that way because Massachusetts.

Now, what’s odd about this house is not just that it’s basically a bunker, but that it was on the market Saturday when it was pointed out to me, but by Tuesday, it was off the market again.

“Temporary withdrawal to accommodate guests – expect reactivation December 3,” the listing says.

That’s why Jesus made Google cache. Shall we?

Errrr … I mean, 

“This truly one-of-a-kind, earth-sheltered home atop a private winding driveway into the woods, looks like it was lifted straight out of a James Bond movie,” the description said. “The energy efficiency would make Q proud, with natural cooling in the summer, and the massive earthen berms insulating during the colder months.”

“The living room boasts a clear span of 28 feet square, room enough to serve as banquet or dance hall.”

But no seriously, this house. It’s kind of cool, especially if you like playing real live games of Fallout.

Now, the one thing I’m not sure about is the bedrooms. I don’t know how much sexytime you can get surrounded by rough concrete walls, but you know, to each his own. I mean, maybe that’s why Q always looks so tense.

I kid, I don’t know what Q looks like because I have never seen a James Bond movie. True story. Don’t message me about how this is horrible.

So anyway, if you want to live in Massachusetts in a bunkah, this is the house for you. Tell us what you think. About the house, not about my lack of James Bond knowledge.
