Like Epcot and food under a cloche, domes usual signal something special underneath, and this Cape Cod home does not disappoint.

Even the attached garage at 37 Amy Brown Road in Mashpee — a two-bedroom, 2.5-bath home — sits under its own geodesic dome.

The home is on the market for $1,349,000.

The 2,194-square-foot contemporary sits on 1.6 acres abutting Mashpee National Wildlife Refuge, and the view from its muntin-less windows and back decks is impressive. The home was built from a kit in 1988, and the garage was added later.

Guests enter the main house via a vestibule with glass doors to an open layout in which the high ceiling puts the dome’s triangular geometry in the spotlight. The open layout encompasses a “conversation pit,” kitchen, and formal dining area, and all radiate around spiral stairs (one of two in the home).

The conversation pit — traditionally this would be at least a step down from the main area, but this space is not — features custom shelving, mirrors, and gray carpet — on the floor and on the ceiling to muffle sound. The carpet rolls past the kitchen and into a dining area that sits under a frosted-glass light fixture.

The flooring switches to a dark vinyl in the kitchen, which offers a breakfast nook; an octagonal island with seating, a built-in bar, and a sink; white smooth-front cabinets that extend to the ceiling; wine storage; a slider to a deck; recessed lights; a built-in bar; and stainless steel appliances. There’s a pass-through to a walk-in pantry/laundry room with a sink.

A second glass slider opens to a living room with its own slider to the deck, expansive windows to take in the view, recessed lighting, built-in cabinetry with glass shelving, and a charcoal gray ceramic tile floor.

A half bath with a single vanity, lavender walls, sconces, and a pocket door completes this floor.

The primary suite is on the home’s second floor. It boasts a cathedral ceiling (the dome’s assemblage of triangles) that’s capped with clerestory windows. There is gray carpet underfoot and overhead (soundproofing for a great night’s sleep), walk-in closets with built-ins, and a ceiling fan. Light also pours in from a triangular window and a glass door to a private deck.

The room includes a study nook with casement windows looking out to the marshland, padded seating near the entrance, custom desks, and shelving.

The en-suite bath sits behind a pocket door and offers a ceramic tile floor, a bidet, a shower, recessed lighting, and a single vanity.

The home’s guest bedroom and the second bath are on the walk-out lower level. The owner used a bonus space on this level as a home office.

There’s a walk-up unfinished attic above the garage.

The home has central air and gas heat.
