Real Estate RoundUp: A Storybook Cottage and More
Real Estate roundup. Here are 3 homes that caught my attention this week or sent to me by fans.
Real Estate Roundup #1.
A storybook cottage in a place I would not expect, Minneapolis, MN. Castles in the air come true. It looks just like an idyllic Thomas Kinkade paradise home.
Whimsical rounded cedar shingle roof. As wonderful to see from the front as the back. Just two bedrooms and circa 1921. This dreamy home comes to us from Great Homes and Destinations on NYTimes where you can see more interior photos of the cottage along with other homes featured as “Homes for $750,000”, which is exactly the price of this house.
Looking out the second floor office window above the garage onto the rear of this fantastical home.
Real Estate Roundup #2.
Adore and clapping for this fun red houseboat featured on BDN Maine Living. It’s “docked at the Front Street Shipyard in Belfast, Maine. I don’t find any information leading me to believe it is for sale. The owner is Steve White who recycled this tiny house out of an empty shipping container.
The interior is done as well as any house or better. Thank you Cris Rogers Haskell for telling me about this houseboat.
Real Estate Roundup #3.
Pricey Pads featured this Lake Michigan castle-like home in Winnetka, Illinois that is yes, pricey at $6,995,000. I shared it on my Facebook Page this week. I hope you’ll like my page where I share more homes and other inspiration. Winnetka is an expensive suburb of Chicago. The listing says this magnificent home is “one of the North Shore’s most prized home.” Anyone can see why.
Head over to Pricey Pad for the full tour including a delightful purple and yellow bathroom. But I wanted to show you the marvelous blue bedroom!
Which was your favorite?
See some more!
You know Candy, I did not see the pine stick kitchen cabinets! Those have to be one of the most original ideas for cabinets ever!
The storybook cottage is my favorite of the three. The wood floors are gorgeous! I am in love with the third house (the one with the Lake Tahoe view) on the NY Times site too. I am totally fascinated by the way they finished off the kitchen cabinet doors with the polished pine sticks.
Great, it’s nice to think of a whimsical retirement home like this!
I like the first one nice retirement home {:-)
Thnaks Anj, I always look forward to your comments. Never saw such a beautiful canopy bed like this before.
wow that last bedroom is almost as big as my apt lol great round up sue
Quaint and lovely is a perfect description Carolann.
I go way overboard on how much I like fairy tale look homes myself. Have a great holiday weekend Carol.
Thanks Sarah, I don’t like where the boat house sits in a shipyard, but love every inch of it otherwise. Have a nice holiday weekend.
nice variety Sue! I like the boat house box.
I love the first one too! So quaint and lovely.
They are all great in their own way.
I think I have to go with #1- I love the romantic fairy tale look.
