A historic water tower along the California coast is for sale for $5.5 million. Built in 1892, it provided water for steam engines until its decommissioning in 1980. Local protests prevented its demolition, leading to its reconstruction as a single-family home using original materials. The four-story residence features four bedrooms and bathrooms, whimsical decor like a model train, and a cozy hidden room. It stands at 87 feet, potentially making it the second-tallest single-family home in the U.S., and includes a permit for short-term rentals.
