On the 53 Major Lockwood Lane in Pound Ridge (Westchester County, New York) put up for sale unusual house. The Passive Solar House sells for $1 and is definitely worth it.

This private, sun-drenched oasis offers three bedrooms, an office, loft-style living spaces, an open kitchen and plenty of windows.
