Homes We’re Grateful For | Pound Ridge NY Homes

It’s always a good thing to consider what you’re grateful for, and this time of year we’re counting our blessings — in terms of real estate. From big homes with more amenities than a deluxe hotel to simple, beachside retreats, here’s a roundup of real estate we’re thankful for.

Homes with dream-worthy forts

The custom detailing on this Kentucky home is impressive, but what really stands out is the incredible three-story tree house in the backyard. The structure is just as custom, with full-functioning windows and doors, a rope swing and lookout perch.

Homes boasting a history

For sale: $400,000

A house is more than a simple structure — it’s a home and the setting for significant family stories and histories. This Lake Mills, WI home, in particular, was the backdrop to a big part of American history, serving as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Built in 1843, the house also boasts Wisconsin’s first indoor bathtub, a copper tub that still works, according to the listing.

Homes with creative listing descriptions

For sale: $1.599 million

This isn’t a typical suburban home, which is probably why it doesn’t have a typical listing description. Forget details about the number of bedrooms or baths — this listing states: “All the other houses say I’m the wild child of the neighborhood. They call me ‘The Rogue House’. I glow at night, have the cleanest lines, highest design around.”

Homes committed to going green

27383 Schulte Rd, Carmel, CA
For sale: $1.75 million
Carmel green homeAt first glance, it’s an adorable bungalow with exposed-beam ceilings and an open floor plan, but the details not immediately apparent are far more interesting. Built in 1966, the little rambler underwent a green remodel to include solar power, radiant heating, low-VOC finishes, recycled countertops and cork tile floors.
