That’s Amore! Italian Villa in Georgia Is This Week’s Most Popular Home

Mamma mia! This week’s most popular property on realtor.com® is an astonishing Italian villa in the distant, sun-drenched land of … Atlanta’s exurbs. It’s not exactly where we’d expect to find an ode to Tuscan architecture, but it’s easy to see why everyone clicked on the place.

The stunning Italian-style estate, with its 10 acres, offers everything from decorative murals to a ballroom with a pub-style bar, from an elevator to an actual bell tower. It’s an ideal setting for sharing a plate of spaghetti with a special friend à la “Lady and the Tramp.”

This week’s runner-up is a serene and rustic cabin in Pennsylvania. The stone-and-wood cabin with multiple porches looks like the perfect country retreat. A swanky Los Angeles home came in third place. The Mid-Century Modern masterpiece has gone through a comprehensive restoration, and includes a bank of sliding glass doors that look out to a lap pool.

Gawkers also clicked on the “Watcher House,” whose owners claimed they received threatening letters from someone claiming to be watching the home. Too scared to move in, the homeowners have put the stately Westfield, NJ, home back on the market for $1.1 million.

There’s no need to be scared of the rest of this week’s most popular properties. Scroll down for a full look.
