Here are my weekly picks:
This headline about a unique multi-structured glass and sequoia house in New Jersey begs for a punchline: “An architect and an artist walk into a barn.” I need to know what happens next!
If there’s a Bob on your roof, chances are he’s a roofer. If there’s a bobcat on your roof, chances are it’s on the hunt. If it’s Bobcat Goldthwait, your house is a comedy club.
Punching a home intruder in the nose is probably not the safest idea, especially if it’s a 250-pound black bear.
Mark Twain once called puns the “saddest evidence of intellectual poverty.” Well, Mark my words, I will never be able to afford this farm he once owned. (And now he’s rolling over in his grave.)
And why is Stephen King apparently such a bad neighbour? There are five homes currently for sale on his tree-lined Maine street, fittingly nicknamed The Green Mile.
Be a couch potato on these pieces of fast food-inspired furniture. Seriously, who hasn’t thought about curling up between giant hamburger buns? Hold the relish.
There are certain things you want in working order before you buy: roof, windows and furnace. This house for sale is missing one of those items, allowing you to stargaze from the comfort of your living room.
A country mansion with an area of 930 square metres is up for sale in Russia for 3,000… bitcoins. Currency matters, folks. That works out to about $15.7 million.
Someone must have given Rihanna her money. The superstar singer just bought a new Hollywood Hills home for $6.8 million.
Celebrities are just like us sometimes. They put their pants on one leg at a time, go grocery shopping and even do home renovations. Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth just bought a $5.8-million fixer-upper.
