This week’s runner-up is a charming raised cottage in New Orleans, which comes with tons of extra living space and has a price tag of under a million bucks.
Other out-of-this world listings this week include a darling Colonial in Ohio, a remodeled home in Virginia with a fenced-in barn and almost 6 acres of land, and a rehab project in Detroit for just $9,500!

1. 5409 Valerie St, Bellaire, TXPrice: $4,700,000
Why it’s here: The Force is strong in this house. Behold a fab Texas mansion with a “Star Wars”-themed media room. Framed “Star Wars” movie posters line the walls over a concession stand outside this state-of-the-art home theater.
The galaxy far, far away theme continues in the media room, with images of space ships and other galaxies on the walls. Color-changing stars dot the ceiling to enhance the effect.
Listing agent Hedley Karpas, says the owner “is a ‘Star Wars’ fanatic.” So we guessed! “When you sit in this movie theater, you generally feel as if you’re floating out in space watching a movie,” Karpas adds.
The theater is padded with recycled denim to blunt outside sound. All the space graphics are printed on fabric, and the floor is cork. The ceiling features fiber-optic lighting, and the screen is curved to provide the full movie-theater effect.
If you’d rather watch sports or play darts, there’s a game room with three large TV screens, a pool table, electronic dartboard, and a jukebox that plays tunes throughout the home.
Back on Earth, the rest of the Mediterranean-style home boasts artisan-level craftsmanship, energy-efficient green features, and is built like a fortress to withstand a hurricane.
Outdoors, the entertainment options continue with two private walled gardens, an outdoor kitchen, living room with fireplace, pool, spa, water garden and fire pit, native plants, fruit trees, and herbs. “It really is an amazing home,” Karpas says.
