8 Homes You Could Gift

Looking for the perfect gift can feel like the quest for a perfect house. Each purchase, after all, is largely centered on matching one’s personality and hobbies. An outdoorsy type wouldn’t thrive in a super-industrial city loft that’s hours away from hiking trails, while a social butterfly would be miserable in a tiny home far off the grid.

With that in mind, we’re taking a look at houses from Dallas, TX, to Atlanta, GA, that are perfectly matched for a special someone. Whether it’s a property that boasts a greenhouse for year-round gardening or a custom kitchen fit for budding chefs, these properties include thoughtful features that would thrill anyone on Santa’s “nice” list.
