Most homes for sale are fairly practical: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, perhaps a garage. But every so often, homes that are a bit atypical hit the market. Each week we showcase an extraordinary residence in the Zillow Blog series “House of the Week.” Check out a few of our unconventional favorites.

 This Santa Fe home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright was originally planned for El Paso, Texas. The project never came to be until after Wright's death when the homeowners received permission to resurrect the plans for the artful home. See the pottery house |

 | Cave Dwellers
These homeowners chose to go back to prehistoric roots and build a home right into the side of a rock formation. Warm in the winter, cool in the summer, this cave home is far from rustic.

Romantic Rendezvous
When Frank Sinatra leased this property, Marilyn Monroe often frequented Sinatra’s notorious Rat Pack parties. Rumor has it that Monroe also stayed in the home’s guesthouse on occasion with a certain
presidential visitor.
