1963 rotating house by California builder hits market for first time

In 1963, a California builder constructed a circular home that can turn 320 degrees using two washing machine motors. Sixty-three years later, the unusual property overlooking Highway 101 in Novato is on the market for the first time, reports the Wall Street Journal. The listing includes the rotating house along with six other detached homes on a 2.25-acre property. The entire complex is priced at $3.3 million. All seven homes are currently occupied by tenants. The unusual house was built by Sam Harkleroad, an eccentric local builder and inventor who died in 1993 after constructing dozens of unusual homes across Marin County. “He was tired of the same old houses,” says his grandson Harold Pozzi, 71. “He thought normal houses were boring.” Pozzi, a retired truck driver who has looked after the property for 60 years, decided to sell because maintaining it had become too difficult.
