Gold Mine! Historic Gable Mansion in California Is This Week’s Most Popular Home

most-popular-042018

Just two hours north of San Francisco, a jaw-dropping example of Victorian Italianate architecture sits in Woodland, CA. Built in 1885 for two pioneering ranchers, the gorgeous classic is the most popular home this week on realtor.com®.

This historic landmark has been restored and modernized, and it’s easy to see why it’s captured the imagination of architecture fans. Considered a “work of art,” the interior space features hand-stenciled wallpapers, multiple stained-glass windows, and hand-decorated ceilings.

The runner-up this week is an Ohio home that’s been slashed to seven. As in, dollars. The single-digit price tag is a reduction from the $777 the home was asking when it topped our list in March. The historic Toledo home needs all-new everything, and now the seller is willing to throw in a new roof to sweeten the seven-dollar deal.

Aside from that single-digit bargain, other popular homes this week include a charming Victorian cottage in New Orleans, a next-door neighbor to last week’s glam Las Vegas digs, and a Maryland home with a whopping four bars.

Pour yourself a double, straight up, and scroll down for the rest of this week’s most popular properties…

2.  2220 Collingwood Blvd, Toledo, OH

Price: $7
Why it’s here: The seller can’t give this house away. Instead, it’s now being offered for a measly $7. That’s a steep cut from the $777 price tag that propelled it to the top of the most popular home listings in March.

But the three-digit price tag didn’t attract a buyer, so now we’re into Venti frappucino pricing territory. In addition to digging out the asking price from between the couch cushions, a buyer must come up with a renovation plan for the historic 5,330-square-foot property in need of a ton of work.

And the offer has been sweetened even more: The seller is willing to replace the roof if a buyer’s offer is accepted. Listing agent Judy Stone, who’s renovated homes in the area, estimates $200,000 worth of work is needed. Plus, of course, the $7 for the home.

1. 659 1st St, Woodland, CA

Price: $3,850,000
Why it’s here: Known as the Gable Mansion—a California historic landmark—the grand home is “one of the last of its style, size, and proportion in California.”

It was built in 1885 for Amos and Harvey Gable, pioneering Yolo County ranchers, but the mansion fell into disrepair until the early 1970s, when it was brought back to life and received its rightful landmark status. 

In the 1990s, the opulent space changed hands again, and was renovated to its stunning state by its current owners, who gave it an extra polish and added a few luxe modern features, including an indoor pool, theater room, an aquarium in the kitchen, and a gym.

The Italianate architecture and design looks more like the interior of a museum than a house, with sparkling chandeliers and intricate ceiling motifs, as well as copious amounts of stained glass. 

The eye-popping ornate details have taken the internet by storm and pushed the Gable Mansion to great heights atop the most popular homes.
