‘Faceless Bunker’ From ‘Fixer Upper’ Takes Title of This Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

The fix is in! A “Fixer Upper” home from Season 2 of the hit HGTV show is the most popular home this week on realtor.com®.

Eternally popular renovation wizards Chip and Joanna Gaines worked their magic on the home known as the “Faceless Bunker” a few years ago. Now, this major transformation is on the market for a massive $1.15 million, slightly more than Waco’s $265,000 median home price. The Gaines effect can’t be overstated.

This week’s runner-up, Indiana’s Marian Hills Farm, is on the market for the first time after being in the same family for seven generations. With its rustic charm and romantic location, it’s served as a wedding venue for the last five years, as well as a key filming location for “The Bachelor” in 2016. The 22-acre spread comes with the original brick-and-wood house built from materials found on the property, as well as a main home, and a barn converted to an event space.

Other properties attracting clicks this week include the Manor in Los Angeles, now offered with a price cut to $175 million, a “picture-perfect” Cape Cod beach house in Massachusetts, and a baronial estate that could be mistaken for a small castle in New York for $14,750,000.

One of this week’s most popular properties listings could be your own personal castle. Scroll down to find your favorite…

9. 594 S Mapleton Dr, Los Angeles, CA 

Price: $175,000,000 Why it’s here: The Manor got a price cut, but remains one of the priciest homes in the world. While the 56,000-square-foot spread built by Hollywood royalty Aaron and Candy Spelling has garnered an inordinate number of clicks over the years, still no buyer has stepped up. As a result, $25 million has been sliced from the megamansion’s price tag.

2. 5910 Maples Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 

Price: $999,000 Why it’s here: The property, known as Marian Hills Farm, is on sale for the first time, after being held by the same family for seven generations. Purchased by Judge Nathan Coleman in 1835, the 22-acre spread includes the four-bedroom main home built in 1914,  the original structure from 1835 (now used as a guesthouse), and a barn converted into an event space. 

The property has been a wedding venue for the last five years, says co-listing agent Jean Kaste. “A lot of people have been married here. It’s a cute, romantic setting,” she says. She notes that potential buyers have been interested in continuing to maintain it as an event space. “It’s so pretty and nostalgic,” she says. Perhaps not surprisingly, the romantic locale was the site of a date on “The Bachelor” in 2016.

1. 1649 Cherry Creek Dr, Waco, TX

Price: $1,150,000 Why it’s here: Chip and Joanna Gaines strike again! It’s another example of a home featured on “Fixer Upper” with a premium price tag. The “Faceless Bunker” from the show’s second season got a major face-lift from the home renovation team, and a major markup when it recently landed on the market.

The current owners bought the place in 2014, when it was listed for a mere $349,900. The remodeled abode sits on nearly 2 acres, and has a signature Gaines look, with gleaming floors, a new kitchen, and a gorgeous master suite with spa bath.

First Drive: 2018 Genesis G80 Sport

HELENA, CA – A friend once asked me the key to my happy marriage. Was it communication, he asked? Intimacy? Blackmail? No, I told him, our secret is simpler: Low expectations. My wife doesn’t expect much from me; therefore it’s nearly impossible to disappoint her. (And yet, from time to time, I still manage.)

The 2018 Genesis G80 Sport is in much the same boat. We realized Hyundai could build a decent luxury car when the Hyundai Genesis first rolled out in 2009. By the time Hyundai got around to launching its luxury brand, acceptance had long since set in. (For those who haven’t been following the story, the Hyundai Genesis has morphed into the Genesis G80, while the Equus is now the Genesis G90.)

But a sport sedan? Hyundai-Kia-Genesis engineers (they are one and the same) may have figured out how to put integrate contrasting-color stitching with top-of-the-line cowhides, but really good steering and suspension tuning have largely eluded them. Our own Arthur St. Antoine, who spent a week with a G80 5.0 Ultimate, praised the poshness of the G80, but held out little hope for future performance versions.

“Genesis has plans to unveil sporty models in the near future,” he wrote, “but the G80 is nothing of the kind. It wasn’t built to hustle, it doesn’t like to hustle, and if you tried to push it really hard through a curvy road, and some point a robotic hand would likely pop out of the dash and smack you on the cheek.”

See? Low expectations.

Thus was the mindset with which I ventured into the Napa Valley to sample the new G80 3.3T Sport. I didn’t expect much from the hot-rod G80, and yet — well, I think you can see where this is going.

What sets the G80 3.3T Sport apart from other G80s? First and foremost is the engine: A 3.3 liter twin-turbo V6 tuned for 365 hp and 376 lb-ft, the latter (allegedly) available between 1,300 and 4,500 RPM. It’s attached to an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a rev-matching feature. We wondered why Genesis didn’t fit the 420-hp 5.0-liter V8; both engines are offered in the G90 and the V-8 is quicker. Hyundai credits the V6’s lighter weight, though exclusivity probably played a role as well. Besides, having “twin turbo” in your sales literature is cool.

The G80 Sport also gets stiffer springs, continuously adjustable dampers (previously an option on the ’15 Genesis, now exclusive to the Sport), larger rear brakes, high-temp front brake pads, front-brake cooling ducts, and slightly lighter wheels (1.1-lb per corner). As with other G80 models, rear-wheel-drive is standard and all-wheel-drive is optional.

Ask the Genesis team and they’ll tell you that design is just as important as hardware. They’ve picked copper as the pigment of performance: The 3.3T Sport gets copper-colored stitching throughout the interior and copper accents around the body. For the most part, it works, though I think the copper grille surround clashes with some of the paint colors. The cabin features carbon fiber trim and a suede headliner. Interior fit-and-finish superlative — as good as it gets in a mass-produced car.

A single drive-mode switch with Eco, Normal and Sport modes controls the shocks, shift schedule, steering feel and engine acoustics. In Normal mode, the G80 Sport’s ride is noticeably firmer than the regular G80, but it still floats gently over bumps. Select Sport mode and the shocks tighten their grip, the float goes away, and body motions are arrested gently but firmly. I can’t count the number of cars with adjustable dampers where the sport setting did nothing but make the ride slightly more jiggly, so I appreciate the narrow-yet-accurate focus. The G80 Sport is no Miata, but it tracks through the turns comfortably, quickly and accurately.

Floor the accelerator from a stop and there’s a hint of turbo lag, a half-second pause until the engine passes 2,000 RPM and the turbos start to do their thing. (So much for that 1,300 RPM torque peak; maybe on the test stand, but not when getting away from a stoplight.) Selecting sport mode deepens the engine note to a pleasing and purposeful growl. As for the change in shift timing, I didn’t really notice — and that’s a good thing: whenever I needed power, be

it part- or full-throttle, the G80 was ready. Unfortunately, I did notice the shift paddles, which are made of plastic instead of metal, as you’d expect in a premium offering.

All in all, the G80 3.3T Sport is an exceptionally pleasant car to drive, either fast or slow. Not that it’s in danger of sidelining the BMW 5 Series or the Lexus GS F-Sport; it’s not a class-leading performer, but it is a competent performer, which is way more than I expected. And that’s fine. Let’s face it, save for the very young and very stupid, few drive a sport sedan balls-out on public roads. Some may dial speed up a notch or three, enough to get a bit of adrenaline and tire squeal, but not enough to frighten anyone or attract the attention of the local constabulary. The Genesis G80 Sport is just right for that sort of driving.

Buying a Genesis G80 3.3T Sport is pretty simple: There’s just one model, priced at $56,225 (including destination), and it comes nicely loaded: Adaptive cruise, heated and cooled power-adjustable front seats, navigation, Qi wireless phone charging, 17-speaker Lexicon stereo, and leather, leather everywhere. The only option is all-wheel-drive, which adds $2,500 to the price.

Will the G80 Sport succeed in the marketplace? That depends on a lot more than the content of the car. The Genesis brand must establish itself, and with the vast majority of Hyundai dealers selling G80s alongside Accents and Velosters, that could be difficult. Still, Genesis is doing their best: All cars include three years of free maintenance with valet service (they pick up the car and drop off a loaner), navigation updates, and SiriusXM satellite radio. Genesis is holding events around the country to introduce buyers to the brand, and the G80 is already outselling the Audi A6, Cadillac CT6, and Lexus GS. 2018 will be the brand’s second year, and it sounds like they’re off to a cracking start.

Perhaps buyers don’t expect much from Hyundai, just as we didn’t expect much from the G80 3.3T Sport. And perhaps those low expectations will be the key to success of both the brand and the car. After all, if it works for my marriage, it can certainly work for Genesis.
