Home Tours & Other Stuff

I can't believe that the 1827 Clock House in St. Leonard's-on-Sea, East Sussex, England is for sale again. It's one of my all-time favorites- a Gothic Revival. I first saw it when a designer living in the USA had to have it, put in an offer the next morning, but it was already sold. She was heartbroken. Visiting family in the UK, they decided to visit the house. “We parked outside and Kim started crying,” said Paul. “So I got a pen and paper and wrote: ‘We’re the people that tried to buy the house when you bought it. If you ever want to sell it, call us.’ A couple of years later, they did.” . 4bd, 2ba, 3,300sqft, $2,631,800 approx. USD. And, it comes fully furnished. You gotta see this house.

Kim & Paul enlarged and turned it into an ecclesiastic Gothic revival-style villa. They're in their 60s now, the stairs are a little daunting, and they're selling it to redo another house. They feel that they have one more reno in them. But, she's sad and keeps getting cold feet.

This 1959 mid century modern home in Racine, WI needs some cleaning and fixing, but it has a big surprise for the music lover. 3bds, 2ba, 2,568sqft, $1m. You'll never expect this.

Plus, it's got a beautiful plot facing Lake Michigan.

This 2021 estate in Davenport, FL has been on the market a long time. This listing has been out for 147 days this time, and I posted it over a year ago, before. They've been renting it on every short term platform, but it's a single family mansion for someone who really loves movies. It's so fun, though. It has a huge Oscar statue out front, surrounded by theater ropes, and the style of the building is Old Hollywood. Plus, you have your own red carpet to walk. Reduced $600k to $4.9m + $1,000/mo. HOA.

Geez.

2001 castle style home in Signal Mountain, TN. 3bds, 3ba, 3,079sqft, $799k. This one is unique.

It's 2 houses for the price of one, b/c this house, a completely different address, is also included in the price. The lot is 1.16 acres.

When the instructions don't indicate the front & back of the stove.

I know that some of you, with more eclectic tastes, are just going to love this quirky-ass house. The description made me laugh- it says that the 1952 brick home in Corbett, OR is an "architectural masterpiece," (indeed, it is), designed by commercial cartoonist Ernie Hager, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. Yes, it is like a cartoon version of an FLW design. 4bd, 4ba, $599,500.

Are you kidding me, right now? This is a rental ad in Chicago, IL. Looks like a lovely house. Says 3bd. 1ba apt. $3,500mo.
