Known as "Buckingham Phallus", it's close to Browns Bay and surrounded by vegetation. The home was sold for $1.35 million 14 months ago but the owner was not up for a lengthy stay so it's back on the market. "Most people are going to say it's a bit quirky for them, I can see that coming from families in particular," Mr Allen said. Real estate agents say it's "unique and very private" - that sure is one way to describe it. The asking price for the elongated abode is between $1.37 million and $1.5 million.
