Storybook Tudor With a Secret Garden in Kansas City Is the Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

Open houses and public showings have slowed as the result of the country’s public health crisis, but we’re thrilled to find plenty of home shoppers still on the hunt for the perfect property.

A fairy-tale farmhouse in Kansas City, MO, charmed up enough clicks to earn it the title of this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®. Because what’s more calming than a fairy-tale farmhouse?

This standout storybook-style home in the Midwest is a bespoke Tudor built by hand by a stonemason for his family in 1925. Loaded with custom details, it’s brightly accessorized and all-around adorable. The neon-green door, set against the century-old stone, hints at the whimsical interior inside.

Old World details like the home’s stone masonry and bold turret conjure up images of a heavy, dreary castle, but the bright modern colors inside confound all expectations.

High-end browsers were drawn to a dramatic, architecturally significant desert dwelling in Arizona, as well as to a historic estate in Maryland spanning 180 acres. Other homes earning clicks this week included an ornate church retrofitted as a residence in Wisconsin and an 8-acre farm in Michigan with a funky throwback bungalow.

Whether you’re looking to upgrade, relocate, or simply need a diversion, we invite you to take a trip through all 10 of this week’s most popular homes…
