Transformer Bedroom Separates From House So You Can Sleep Under Stars

Truth matters. Community matters. Your support makes both possible. LAist is one of the few places where news remains independent and free from political and corporate influence. Stand up for truth and for LAist. Make your tax-deductible donation now.

Some say having a bedroom that will roll away from the safety of your stable house, and closer to a cliff, is a bad idea. But those people play it safe. And safe is boring. And boring is having to look at a stupid ceiling and not the endless, star-dotted universe when you are in bed.

Some genius in Altadena has created a bedroom that is "built upon a platform that can be rolled out on tracks into the rear garden allowing one to sleep under the stars." This genius also made sure to keep an alcohol supply within a few feet of the rolling bed—according to the listing (yes, this can be yours) "there is also a 7 foot rotating wall between the bedroom and living room with a dry bar on one side and an entertainment cabinet on the other side."

You need more than a rolling bedroom for your $898,000? Other features include a butler's pantry, sweeping views of the San Gabriels and the city lights, the promise of a better life, the ability to laugh at weakness, a garden with a built-in entertainment system, two boring non-moving bedrooms, sleeping well, no bad dreams, no paranoia, a pergola, tiki torches, a spa, less chance of illness, and Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances.

You come to LAist because you want independent reporting and trustworthy local information. Our newsroom doesn’t answer to shareholders looking to turn a profit. Instead, we answer to you and our connected community. We are free to tell the full truth, to hold power to account without fear or favor, and to follow facts wherever they lead. Our only loyalty is to our audiences and our mission: to inform, engage, and strengthen our community.

Right now, LAist has lost $1.7M in annual funding due to Congress clawing back money already approved. The support we receive from readers like you will determine how fully our newsroom can continue informing, serving, and strengthening Southern California.
