This strange, polyurethane foam-covered house finally sold recently for $920,000, well under its original asking price of $1.2 million. It took six months for this odd-looking, three-bedroom home to find the right buyer — yes, it seems not everyone wants to live in a home alternately known the "Mushroom House," "Flinstone House," or "Smurf House."

The home didn't always look this peculiar: When former owners Edward and Frances Garfinkle purchased it in 1967, it was your standard two-story stucco home just over the D.C.-Maryland border. Architect Roy Mason, known for his futuristic Xanadu Houses, transformed the 2,672-square-foot space into its fungi-inspired shape of today. The renovation made the home a landmark but nearly ruined the Garfinkles financially.

"We did this when we were young. Looking back on it, it was probably kind of dumb," Edward told Bethesda Magazine in 2013. But "it's better than a speed bump. The cars don't go flying by as much as in the rest of the neighborhood."

Take a look around:
