According to the Daily Mail, Mel Gibson’s house in Greenwich, Connecticut, just won’t sell (oh, boy, do I really want to do another post about a Greenwich house after the last one caused so much trouble?). It’s been on the market since 2007, when the price was set at $39.5 million. Two years later, it [...]
You guys guessed it! The actress who sleeps in the bedroom I showed you yesterday is none other than Gwyneth Paltrow.
Your clues were:
1. Her parents were famous before she was. She’s the daughter of producer Bruce Paltrow and actress Blythe Danner.
2. When she was young, her engagement to Brad Pitt made more headlines than her [...]
Ready for Day #4 of our Fantasy Open House week? I already showed you a few photos from this house in my earlier Homearama! post. Now you get to see the rest.

Now take a look at the facelift this family gave it. The only things that went untouched as far as I can tell were the [...]

We’re at our final stop on the Cincinnati Preservation Association’s house tour in the North Avondale neighborhood. And I think I saved the best for last.
The Mack House, a 7,000 square-foot Tudor Revival-style mansion, was built by Jacob Mack in 1931, and featured a round half-tower that you can see here. It looks like Rapunzel [...]
This Tudor Revival-style home was built in 1915 by Stephen Gerrard, who was known as “the Cantaloupe King.” He was a truck farmer who built an empire by shipping cantaloupes from Colorado to the Midwest in refrigerated railroad cars.

It’s time to show you the actual houses that were on the North Avondale Home Tour last weekend. This 1937 Normandy Manor, known as The Levine House, will be our first stop.
