A unique house on the real estate market in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is turning heads on social media thanks to its shiny exterior.

The three-bedroom, four-bathroom estate — listed for $899,000 — is called “the Mirror house” for good reason: because, well, it’s covered in mirrors, as the photos on Zillow.com show.

“Known as the Mirror House among its legions of fans, this elegant multi-level home features an open interior with 25 skylights and approximately 4,291-square-feet,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “Just like Fallingwater, the house emphasizes the connection between the interior/exterior spaces.”

Features of the estate include:

  • Home theater

  • Artist’s studio

  • Finished basement

  • Chef’s kitchen

  • “Zen-like backyard”

The house was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook page and Twitter account that highlights special houses dotting the real estate market all over the country. And fans were… opinionated.

“I do not - EVER - need to see myself from that many angles, but the rest of the house is absolutely fabulous. That room is just BEGGING for bad luck,” one person joked.

“I’d worry about the risk of catching my outside foliage on fire,” another said.

“I’d need a lifetime supply of Windex if I bought this house,” someone noted.

“All I can think of is how often I hit the brick on our house with our lawnmower when I was in high school. Hope it’s more sturdy than a regular mirror,” one person commented.

“I can see myself living here!” another joked.

“Ok no joke I love this house in its entirety. It is bizarre but feels like a Rothko painting in house form lol,” someone said.

“’Previously owned by Narcissus, who did all the interiors,’” another joked.
