Built in 1948 by a Frank Lloyd Wright devotee, this La Canada Flintridge, CA, home could be mistaken as a Wright design.

The hallmarks are there. With an open layout, walls of windows, a stone-stacked fireplace, custom built-ins throughout, and lots of interior wood, the 2,557-square-foot home is reminiscent of many Wright houses.

But this four-bedroom, three-bath dwelling was actually designed and lived in by local architect, Jack Simison, a fan of Wright’s work—especially organic design.

Referred to as the Simison House, the well-preserved property is on the market for the first time in its 75 years. It’s available for $2,500,000.

Checking in! With 12 bedrooms, 10 with en suite bathrooms, the historic Farris Hotel, aka Hotel Dallas, could be just about anything.

The building, just off Main Street in Eagle Lake, TX, has come on the market with a list price of $1,650,000.

“It was built in 1912 and, throughout its life, it has been a hotel at least twice and then a restaurant. And the individual who owns it now is using it as a single-family residence,” says Tim Grimes of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty, who is co-listing the property with Brian Spack.

“There are so many possibilities somebody could do with this. If somebody has an imagination and is creative, it could be something really special,” Grimes adds.

Making your forever home as beautiful as possible is a no-brainer. But when it comes to improving accessibility, not every homeowner prioritizes with the future in mind.

Mobility and functionality are key for comfortably aging in place. Plus, home design that factors for accessibility can also be beneficial when selling a house.

The fix here, as you might have guessed, is called universal design. This is a plan that makes a home accessible and safe for anyone who lives there.

Sometimes called inclusive design or design for all, this approach helps create an equitable environment that accommodates seniors or those with mobility issues. And fortunately, some of these tweaks don’t have to break the bank.

Dome homes occasionally bounce onto the market. Recently, we even came across a two-dome home. But what about a home with three domes? Whoa.

A 6,427-square-foot, triple-domed home in Bulverde, TX, has a trio of geodesic domes and is listed for $1.3 million.

The seller built the domed property over several years, after moving from another domed home in California.

The Texas home is two stories, and the central dome is 40 feet in diameter. It is flanked by two domes, each 30 feet in diameter and connected to the main dome by hallways.

While few might think of Sioux Falls, SD, as a glamorous place to live, resident Chelsea DeBoer of “Teen Mom” fame is working to change that perception on her new home renovation show, “Down Home Fab.”

On this new series, Chelsea and her husband, Cole DeBoer, have been renovating homes in the area, pulling off some daring decor moves that her clients adore. On the latest episode, “Industrial Glam,” the DeBoers visit the home of Matt and Sara, who live on a 6-acre ranch in the nearby town of Del Rapids. Yet country elements such as farmhouse sinks and barn doors are the exact opposite of how these clients hope their new home will look.

Both are dentists, inspiring Cole to quip, “This is something we can really sink our teeth into.”

That gets an eye roll from Chelsea, but she agrees with him.

Even the most expensive cities — which typically have higher minimum wages — are more affordable than those with $7.25 an hour minimums, according to data released Tuesday by Zillow.
