A Not-So-Typical Building Material


I’ve shown several over- the- top homes on my blog—usually extravagant ones with huge price tags. However, I found a home on the blog Curbed LA that I think is worth mentioning. This house is by no means the size of a small hotel, nor does it cost that much. It doesn’t have 5 kitchens like the home I spoke about it Miami or gold- plated door handles. But, it was built using believe- it- or- not: railroad ties! This rustic style home is located on Catalon Ave in Woodland Hills and has two bedrooms. It’s currently on the market for $409,950.

Surprisingly, this home looks like many other rustic homes built in the same time period. Most people probably wont even be able to tell that the homes exterior is covered in railroad ties since they resemble the wood panels many homes in the city are covered in— just bigger. I personally think the home’s builder pulled it off. The interior— which resembles the inside of a cabin— has the same homey rustic feel as the exterior.
