Real estate watchers this week were romanced by an Italianate villa in the heart of Memphis, TN, that serves as a wedding venue and which wound up as the most popular home on realtor.com®.
Surrounded by lush gardens and filled with crystal chandeliers, hand-painted ceilings, walnut paneling, and marble, the Annesdale Mansion has been the site of weddings, rehearsal dinners, and other local events. Once the bouquet was tossed, folks lined to up to catch a glimpse of it. It’s priced at $5 million—and what truly matters is making a potential buyer swoon.
In addition to the restored mansion in Memphis (which comes with 7 acres), every other home on this week’s list is surrounded by wide-open spaces. The smallest piece of property in the 10 most popular properties is a half-acre mansion in Palm Beach Gardens, which opens up to a lake. Perhaps people are feeling a desire to spread out,, in our current virus-fueled climate?
There’s a 25-acre property surrounded by an actual moat in Illinois, a couple of farmhouses with plenty of space between neighbors, and an Ohio barndominium on nearly 6.5 acres in the country. For high-end home shoppers, there’s the waterfront Connecticut mansion of former AOL CEO Tim Armstrong.
So wash your hands, have a seat, and scroll on down for a full look at this week’s most popular homes…
