While I already am a homeowner (and even well before being one), with no intention of moving right now, a hobby (?) of mine is going to different cities and states on zillow, trulia, etc and just looking at houses. Finding unique ones, absurd ones, ones with cool features, etc. I do it while driving around as well, but of course the internet makes it easy to look everywhere. Thinking there might be others that do this too and want to share their finds. And if I’m super off-base and the thread winds up a flop, we’ll just delete it
Not something I can enforce, but - PLEASE try to not just post a link alone. Try to include 1 or 2 pictures at least, even if just stolen from the listing
This is also not a place to market a house for yourself or on behalf of someone else. This is casual property browsing.
Here’s my first submission, although it’s NEVER something I would want to live in, unless I become a Bond villain or something. A good bit north of me here in Arizona, up in Prescott - and apparently the tallest single-family home in the world. Known as the “Falcon’s Nest” house.
That is one weird and not so wonderful house. Wacky!!!
I couldn’t live there, I would feel like a trapped Bear at the zoo.
Nice thread…I also google and drop into street map in towns and cities around the world just to see what they are like and how they feel. It’s something I thought I only did. I can get lost for hours doing it
I am a rampant Realtor.com looker! I look daily in the town nearby we want to move too. Tho I do also look at ‘maybe we should move here’ towns in other states (and occasionally countries). Downsized houses, as ours is too much.
Your game would be a smidge over my budget, but I will enjoy looking at. My niece does something similar with country estates…which sends me to watching Escape to the Chateau.
That is a crazy house!! I love the Earthaven houses out west too…different concept, but so cool.
Ok this is one I would love and/or hate to live in London. Right on the river and in the shadow of the old Clink prison… It looks equally cosy and cold, eerie and attractive.
It’d be some work to make it feel cozy, IMO, with how open it is! I agree, equal mix cozy and cold. As-is, more cold, but with some paint and different furniture/decor, I could see it being cozy.
I’m also a total sucker for glass brick, and there’s plenty of that going on.
This is the kind of classical architecture around here. I don’t especially care for living in one of those. But I really like to see them on hiking trips.
I love looking at houses. I generally look around a few times a week, just cause. I love the ones near good hiking spots. This one has a beautiful ceiling, a quaint rustic feeling and a nice wrap around porch
Obsessed at looking at real estate. Some people think it’s because I am currently homeless but I have doing it for years, even before it became a thing on the Internet!
$35,000 and 864 sq ft in Brownville, NE. It didn’t used to show the mess inside. It can be a small amount, or huge. History is a big deal to me AND interest in why things look and cost what they do.
This one I want because it’s on 10 acres and has a house, a church and a barn. I am sure somebody would want to go to a sobriety retreat in a town in the middle of the US named Long Pine, Nebraska.
And I don’t want to live in Nebraska anymore, so I look everywhere.
If I ever won the lottery I would be all in for this house. Do I need a house this big, no
Do I need that much land, also no
But I could fill it with so many dogs!! And I’d always have a place for a friend to stay.
Fun fact about Golden, Colorado- They have a festival of Golden Retrievers. Can you imagine going to a town and being surrounded by 100s of Goldens
