It's the one home where curb appeal doesn't matter, quips listing agent Brian Dominic of Select Sotheby's International Realty.

He's right: At first glance, the home in upstate New York isn't anything more than a steel door in the middle of the Adirondacks. But it's below the ground that matters.

BUMP for tonight. Being underground gives me the willies, but I’ll take a look-see. :)

Because our decommissioned by operable missile silos would not be targeted for DIRECT AIRSTRIKE, right?

Sleep tight. Don't let the missiles strike.

3100 square feet but only 1 BR/1 Bath? Does it even HAVE a kitchen??

Probably save a lot of money on heating and cooling . . .

Unfortunately no garage.

Sure, it’s all fun and games until Russia or China or NK pulls out an old map with a red X on top of his house.

Seller is probably relocating due to the new anti-gun laws.

You would have to come out sometime and the zombies would be waiting for you to open the hatch.
