This is lovely- it’s a condo, built in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois. It has 1bd. 1ba. and is $275K - $290K  mo. HOA fee.

It’s like a mini historic home . The living room has a beautiful original fireplace and look at the millwork. 

Everything is original. There’s even a built-in china cabinet in the dining room.

The kitchen is new. It’s not very large, but it’s got a cozy counter seating area.

The bd. is very nice.

The bath was completely remodeled.

And, the units have nice little decks on the back, but it also looks like there’s a park or a common area outside.

Brutalism in the desert. This is Joshua Tree, California.  It has 3bd. 3ba. and they want a whopping $12M for it. Look at this. Someone recognized it as rendering, so for $12M you don’t even get the house, just the plans.

Looks like something out of Star Wars, even the landscape.

Nice view.

This home is confusing and as usual, the real estate photos are all mixed up. I THINK that’s the kitchen island thru this door.

And, this is the cook top. Have you ever seen such a kitchen?

That might be a glimpse of the kitchen, but that’s all they show. 

There are quite a few built-ins, but they’re mostly made of cement, except for the shelving in the living room.

B/c it’s in the desert, a part of the living room was left completely open. 

I don’t know what this structure is. 

This is the living room’s open wall. You could jump right off the floor.

The living room is on the 2nd level with stairs to the 3rd level of the house, which is the last level.

Some of the spaces appear dark. 

The bds. look basically the same except for the shape of the light above the bed.

The main bed. It has a large overhead light, curved glass wall, and built-in nightstands with lights. 

Round tower window in the bedroom.

One of the baths. 

A second bedroom has sliders to the patio.

Here’s a cement bench with a nook at the entrance to the pool.

Entrance to the home.

There’s a mesh gate, or maybe it’s glass.

Here you can see the 3 floors. 

The pool looks kind of small, unless it’s reflection pool feature.

The courtyard is private and walled in, but id doesn’t offer any shade and the cement floor must get very hot.

Affectionately known as “The White House”, this historic 1906 well-loved home is a graceful mini-mansion in Albany, Oregon. It has 5bd. 4ba., listed at $875K.

Is this an entrance, or is this an entrance? I can’t get over the open concept. Today’s buyers would love it, too. Those beans are amazing and look at how unusual & elaborate the stairs are.

The craftsmanship in this room is stunning.

Large, gracious living room with a gorgeous fireplace.

This is fantastic- they remodeled the kitchen with all reproduction appliances. I also like the mottled quartz they chose for the counters and backsplash. The cabinets are classic Shaker. Nice. 

The pantry actually looks authentic. Beautiful.

What a wonderful dining room- a wall of built-ins and wainscoting, plus a fireplace.

This corner is like a mini library. Notice the inlaid in the floors.

This is so cool.

I didn’t expect such a large hall.

Check out this rounded wall. 

This is nice- the main bd. has an enclosed porch.

This room has a sweet sink alcove.

All the bds. are spacious and cozy.

Not terribly impressed by the bath remodel.

Where does this interesting staircase lead?

Oh, wow, look at this fabulous terrace.

I can’t over this- stairs in the kitchen lead to this little private dining space.

The lower part of the house has been newly remodeled. Look at the replica of the house on the wall. 

Everything down here is new.

A rec room with a wine cellar.

Patio and enclosed porch on the back.

A stream feeds into the property. What a cool house.
