Default What unusual feature(s) does your home have

Here's a fun thread for those who are concerned that all homes here are too similar.

What unusual feature does your home have that make it unique?

We have a couple of bunny white cotton tails who are responsible for eating my Blue Daze landscaping.

And I saw them looking into the neighbors empty pots that used to contain tomato plants. He was trying to grow tomatoes for some time now and blaming the sun etc for the plants not growing.

A note from our 45-yr-old son, left on the fridge when he used the house in our absence two years ago, telling us how much he loves us. It's still there.
