Gold Mine! Historic Gable Mansion in California Is This Week’s Most Popular Home
realtor.com
Just two hours north of San Francisco, a jaw-dropping example of Victorian Italianate architecture sits in Woodland, CA. Built in 1885 for two pioneering ranchers, the gorgeous classic is the most popular home this week on realtor.com®.
This historic landmark has been restored and modernized, and it’s easy to see why it’s captured the imagination of architecture fans. Considered a “work of art,” the interior space features hand-stenciled wallpapers, multiple stained-glass windows, and hand-decorated ceilings.
The runner-up this week is an Ohio home that’s been slashed to seven. As in, dollars. The single-digit price tag is a reduction from the $777 the home was asking when it topped our list in March. The historic Toledo home needs all-new everything, and now the seller is willing to throw in a new roof to sweeten the seven-dollar deal.
Aside from that single-digit bargain, other popular homes this week include a charming Victorian cottage in New Orleans, a next-door neighbor to last week’s glam Las Vegas digs, and a Maryland home with a whopping four bars.
Pour yourself a double, straight up, and scroll down for the rest of this week’s most popular properties…
10. 1528 Westwood Ave, Lakewood, OH
Price: $245,000
Why it’s here: Here’s a ray of sunshine for spring! Built in 1901, this sunny five-bedroom home from 1901 features a remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Other highlights include a formal dining room, living room, and large front porch. Just be prepared for the bold color choice of blood red on some interior walls.

6. 1329 E 7th St, Loveland, CO
Price: $309,000
Why it’s here: Here’s a remodel done right! Buyers obviously agreed, because this place is under contract after less than two weeks on the market. The cottage has had a few updates, but maintains its quirky style. Ideal for chilling on a warm summer day, the covered front porch is also newly redone.
Loveland, CO

5. 715 River Dr, Munster, IN
Price: $199,000
Why it’s here: This ranch-style home from 1960 has been all spruced up. The updated kitchen has granite counters, and the finished basement, with fireplace and recessed lighting, could easily serve as a family room.
Munster, IN

4. 5912 Chestnut St, New Orleans, LA
Price: $735,000
Why it’s here: We’re charmed. A Victorian “jewel box” from 1873 packs a lot of light into its 1,768 square feet. The redone cottage boasts high ceilings, exposed brick, a newly painted white interior, and an updated kitchen and bathrooms. For folks who love to entertain, the property comes with a separate guesthouse and patio space.
New Orleans, LA

3. 7 Painted Feather Way, Las Vegas, NV
Price: $14,500,000
Why it’s here: Are you prepared to raise the stakes? This ultramodern manse on 1.5 acres comes with five beds, eight baths, and 10,743 feet of sleek living space. The interior features floor-to-ceiling windows, an Italian Scavolini kitchen, an indoor basketball court, media room, and wine cellar. Once outside, you’ll enjoy views of the Las Vegas Strip, golf course, and mountains.
Las Vegas, NV

2. 2220 Collingwood Blvd, Toledo, OH
Price: $7
Why it’s here: The seller can’t give this house away. Instead, it’s now being offered for a measly $7. That’s a steep cut from the $777 price tag that propelled it to the top of the most popular home listings in March.
But the three-digit price tag didn’t attract a buyer, so now we’re into Venti frappucino pricing territory. In addition to digging out the asking price from between the couch cushions, a buyer must come up with a renovation plan for the historic 5,330-square-foot property in need of a ton of work.
And the offer has been sweetened even more: The seller is willing to replace the roof if a buyer’s offer is accepted. Listing agent Judy Stone, who’s renovated homes in the area, estimates $200,000 worth of work is needed. Plus, of course, the $7 for the home.
Toledo, OH

1. 659 1st St, Woodland, CA
Price: $3,850,000
Why it’s here: Known as the Gable Mansion—a California historic landmark—the grand home is “one of the last of its style, size, and proportion in California.”
It was built in 1885 for Amos and Harvey Gable, pioneering Yolo County ranchers, but the mansion fell into disrepair until the early 1970s, when it was brought back to life and received its rightful landmark status.
In the 1990s, the opulent space changed hands again, and was renovated to its stunning state by its current owners, who gave it an extra polish and added a few luxe modern features, including an indoor pool, theater room, an aquarium in the kitchen, and a gym.
The Italianate architecture and design looks more like the interior of a museum than a house, with sparkling chandeliers and intricate ceiling motifs, as well as copious amounts of stained glass.
The eye-popping ornate details have taken the internet by storm and pushed the Gable Mansion to great heights atop the most popular homes.
