The quirky home of one of the inventors of the Rollerblade has gone on the market for just under $600,000.
Described as a “historic showstopper of a home”, the pad features four bedrooms and three bathrooms, and is based in Bloomington, Minnesota, US.
It was formerly owned by Scott Olson, who famously started the Rollerblade brand of inline skates alongside brother Brennan.

Credited as creating the mainstream skates still used today, following previous inline-skate use by ice speed skaters, the popular footwear features a heavy boot with wheels along the sole.
The property is currently on the market, and the design is as quirky as the skates themselves, reports Luxury Property News.
The exterior shows off the large star-gazing silo overlooking the back garden, and the fun continues inside.
While there are classic areas including a cosy lounge, open plan kitchen, and stunning rural views from the deck, there are also some more unusual features.
One room boasts a miniature sports court – the floor of which looks perfect for practising your skating on.
A large garage area could make the perfect workspace or studio for budding inventors to get creative in.
And, of course, there’s the silo which a wrap-around deck for astronomers to make full use of.
The home is nestled in a rural area and is surrounded by trees, and a nearby creek.
The property is currently available with Chasing Dreams Real Estate for $599,000.
The listing reads: “Formerly owned by the inventor of Rollerblades, this property features 2 decks, and a star-gazing silo that overlooks the backyard that must be seen in person!
“The huge backyard has large, mature trees and a private entrance to the upper loop of 9 Mile Creek.
“There is a ton of wildlife to view in the backyard.
“Hardwood floors, 2 kitchens, 4 fireplaces, and a lower-level workshop give this home great bones to work with.”
