This Week’s Most Popular Home Is a Cool Hawaiian Compound
It’s appropriate that this week’s most popular home on realtor.com® hails from Hawaii. It’s vacation time around the nation—and the islands are the perfect place to spend a break from the grind of everyday life.
And we know you love to click on dreamy properties—but could you live in Hawaii year-round? Well, this popular property in Hanalei would make it quite easy, if you have nearly $14 million to spare. The cool compound on Kauai’s north shore offers two separate houses to please most buyers. When you do the math, it’s only $7 million per house. A relative bargain to walk the sands of Hanalei Bay each morning!
Back on the mainland, you also clicked on homes owned by notable figures in the world of sports, an old gristmill in Pennsylvania, a couple of log cabins, and a converted firehouse.
Scroll down, because we’re ready to fan the flames on this week’s most-clicked homes.
