A fun way to live in nature? Or a privacy nightmare?

The listing for a $1.7 million glass house on the banks of Maryland's Gunpowder River has polarized internet commenters and inspired plenty of jokes.

7. I like it but that roof is hideous

Put nice architectural shingles on the house and you have a winner.

5. All I can think of is... HAIL STORMS

Geebus... My roof is a constant target. I can't even imagine that much glass, though if the panes were UV and heat-resistant/reflective then it might be cool. The automated shades would address a lot of the issues.
