EAST HAMPTON, NY — Joseph and his coat of many colors might have felt right at home in this architectural masterpiece: One of the most colorful listings ever, there's a multi-hued home with 52 hues in East Hampton that was believed to have the key to immortality.

Artists Madeline Gins and Arakawa envisioned the residence, called the "Life-Span Extending Villa," according to a post on Realtor.com.

When asked to design a wing on the home in the 1990s, the pair designed a space that represented a belief in "reversible destiny," which embraces the tenet that an "off-balance environment that challenges the mind and body. . . will keep you forever young," the post reads.
