A green double A-frame house in Connecticut looks as if it has stepped straight out of an Alpine fairy tale. The home’s obvious charms, plus a surprisingly affordable $279,000 price tag, helped it climb up the leaderboard and wind up as the most popular home this week on realtor.com®.

Anyone who ever dreamed of escaping to a quiet cottage in the woods must see this cool charmer, which features a rear wall of windows, wood paneling, and unique nooks and crannies that come courtesy of that dramatic angled roof.

There was more than enough drama to go around this week. One of the world-famous Painted Ladies in San Francisco landed on the market and amassed plenty of clicks. Prospective buyers will need a generous budget, in addition to the $2.7 million purchase price, for a top-to-bottom renovation.

You also clicked on a couple of other antiques looking for love, like a Palladian-style house in West Virginia from 1784 and a Victorian in South Carolina from 1843. A massive abandoned construction job on a 22,000-square-foot mansion in Wisconsin also attracted your attention.

We’d never abandon you, but we would ask you to scroll down to read all of this week’s most popular homes…
