A missile storage facility from the Cold War has been converted into a luxury property and is now up for sale for a hefty price tag of more than 3 million dollars.
The New York State home, which boasts a runway for a private jet, hangar and spacious living quarters, looks like a normal home from the surface, the New York Daily News reported.
