We first introduced readers to a wacky house in Vermont with its own seven-cell jail in early November. But last week, writer Lauren Hough‘s tweet featuring the listing to her nearly 61,000 followers created a social media tsunami. The resulting clicks easily catapulted the residence with a private pokey to the top of this week’s most popular homes on realtor.com®.
Hough’s joke about turning the creepy-looking jail into a writers retreat racked up almost 2,500 likes and 110 retweets. It’s yet another case of must-see listing photos making their way all over the web this week.

1. 43 Courthouse Dr, Guildhall, VT
Price: $149,000
Why it’s here: Full of character and built in 1880, this four-bedroom home has an updated kitchen, large windows, and plenty of other highlights. However, it’s the antique jail out back that’s raising a ruckus all over the web. When we spoke with the listing agent in November, she said the jail isn’t exactly a turnkey scenario. While the rest of the home is move-in ready, a buyer will need to be prepared to renovate the cellblock.
The former Essex County jail was taken out of commission in 1969, and has been left as is ever since, providing endless opportunities for intrepid renovators with big ideas.
