Transformer Bedroom Separates From House So You Can Sleep Under Stars
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.
