Rocky Mountain High: Colorful Colorado Classic Is Week’s Most Popular Home

Teal, white, and fun all over, a meticulously updated historic home in Colorado is this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®.

Far from a bland, cookie-cutter suburban dwelling, this colorful Mediterranean-style residence is approaching its 100th birthday, but hasn’t lost an iota of charm. From the custom woodwork to the new bathrooms, the updates look and feel appropriate for this award-winning renovation.

The same charm runs like a river through the rest of this week’s most popular houses. Each of the 10 places is unique and eye-catching, and brimming with style. There’s a French chateau in Michigan that’s simply extra, two midcentury moderns, two massive Victorians, and even a discounted farmhouse owned by Josh Duggar.

With nary a boring McMansion in sight, let’s peruse all of this week’s most popular properties…
