An elegant piece of Omaha history is this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®. After a complete exterior face-lift, the national landmark known as the Edgar Zabriskie Home landed on the market and racked up tons of clicks.
Built in 1889 by a Civil War veteran, Edgar Zabriskie, the blue Queen Anne beauty offers oodles of timeless charm. At 131 years old, the historic home was one of the first built in the city’s Bemis Park neighborhood. Its gingerbread-style good looks impressed folks from coast to coast, who couldn’t help but click on this stellar example of Victorian style.
Besides this ultra-nice house in Nebraska, you also clicked on a family compound in Louisiana with two separate homes and a 14-car garage, a rugged cabin in the remote Alaskan shipping village of Port Protection, and an empty (and spooky!) Gothic building in Indiana.
Of course, you couldn’t resist another look at the grooviest, greenest 1970s throwback condo, which is now pending sale.
While we attempt to finagle an invite to the housewarming party at the green time capsule, we invite you to scroll through the entire list of this week’s 10 most popular homes…

9. L15 Prt, Port Protection, AK
Price: $120,000
Why it’s here: Some folks are fascinated by the idea of living in Port Protection. The National Geographic reality TV show about a few hardy souls who live in the area recently returned to the air, and spurred a wave of searches on the remote town. This place is tucked on over an acre, far, far away from the rest of the world in this remote fishing village, which is accessible only by boat or plane. The rustic cabin needs a lot of work, and since living in Port Protection means essentially living off the grid, extensive DIY and remote living skills are essential.

8. 15026 Sendero Ln, Woodway, TX
Price: $2,500,000

The 8,100-square-foot house has a ton of upgrades, and the recent poolhouse and gym addition was undertaken by local home design royalty Chip and Joanna Gaines.

4. 23645 Country Villa Rd, Ramona, CA
Price: $375,000
Why it’s here: A sale is now pending on this retro green time-capsule condo, which was professionally decorated when it was built in 1974, and has largely sat empty ever since. It’s unclear whether the new owners intend to keep the funky fresh interiors inside the three-bedroom residence or to give it a modern makeover, but we sincerely hope they consider keeping everything intact.

1. 3524 Hawthorne Ave, Omaha, NE
Price: $385,000
Why it’s here: This classic from 1889 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is well-known throughout Omaha.
