Wow that kitchen is painfully white. 

$900K- Kinda boring actually

The interior unfortunately isn't much to look at because the home's fallen into disrepair. 

$4.1M, 6385 sq ft, 5.1 acres, built in 1848.  The house has been on the market for over 3 years, reduced from originally $7M+.  My understanding is that it's not terribly historically significant, so their price is grossly inflated.

A stager and a pro photographer could do a LOT for this house....though not as much as a This Old House crew could :P  

This one is AWESOME!  I want to live here. Warehouse turned home. $980K

For a mere $4.95 mil... 4 bedroom, 3.75 bath, 7,610 sf, 150 feet of prime waterfront.

Love this one too. It is my dream home. $990K

Fun - this one is a mere $6.9 million (incredible location)

This is the most expensive home in my zip code.  $1.15m.  3BR/BA, 3500 sq ft.  You're paying for the views.

A few doors down from the last one is this house.  $950K, 4 bed, 4 bath, and 8 acres. 

  The outdoor space (includes pool, hot tub, athletic court, and tiered patios) and the stairs.

  The bathrooms and the weird extra tall dishwasher in the island.

And this is the closest one I'd be willing to buy.  You know, if I had $1.6 mil just laying around.  5BR/5BA, 6,096 sq ft.  5.47 acres.

1.8 Million

Other than waterfront, it doesn't do much for me.

At least in my town, the most expensive is $3.2 million, built in 1862:

Nice garden, but the interior is very NMS:

To answer your question, FoxinFiji, this is within 3 miles of me, but I never would have known.

FoxinFiji:

Wow holy cow!  I'm loving all of the pictures.  Those are some very gorgeous homes!  Does anyone actually live very close to these homes or are they just in nearby areas? 

For me just in nearby areas.

This is about 7 blocks away from my house...

$3.3M, 5bd/5ba, 6700SF, 1/4 of an acre, built 1912

It's not that different than most of the houses w/ in a few blocks of it except the pool which is pretty rare.  The lot may be larger than standard too.  It's the "Country Club" neighborhood in the city which is pricey (but very nice) & awesome location (close to Downtown & the best shopping in our city)--our house is right on the neighborhood dividing line...if it was across the street & couple houses over it'd be worth $200-300K+ more--Lol

Mine are in my zip code, I live in a pretty small county.

Here's another, $1.575

I'm not digging the cabinetry in the kitchen or the closet.  And the coca cola room is umm, interesting.

I live 5 miles (via road) from the first one I posted.  However, it's less than 1.5 miles as the crow flies.  Our terrain just doesn't really allow for convenient travel from A to B.  LOL

The second house I posted is 25 miles from me.  But it's the closest house over 1 mil that I would pay money for.  LOL

The one I posted is probably 2 miles away. Here's one that is about 6 blocks away...

$1.687 mil 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 4,610 sf. The interior isn't that amazing, but you have 40' of low bank waterfront.

One last one because I think some of you would like it.  Someone had a fun time decorating this place.  $960K, 5 bed, and 5 bath.  On only 1.7 acres which is a huge turn off!  It's also much newer being built in 2010.

$3.9 million

Normally in my area there is a direct correlation between the home price and the terrible decor - the more it costs the worse the decor :)

I saw this one a little while ago that I did kind of love. It's a new custom build. Now I just need to come up with the $1.8M, ha.

This is the laundry room, I think.

I need a covered porch like this.

The master bedroom.

ETA: this is in my county, not too far from me

Makes total sense about the terrain.  I was just curious what people were considering nearby.    Lots of fun either way!  This is one way to jump start this slow board.

That is a cool house.  I agree TOH could do wonders with it!

This is awesome!  I love the industrial finishes they work so well in the space.  Looks like a lot of walking to get from one end to the other though.

Haha.  Yeah it's huge.  My butt would probably be smaller from all the walking though, so it would be worth it.

Hmpf it's only 7600 sf!  LOL!

This one is ~2 blocks away & in my neighborhood.

$1.95M, 5bed, 6ba, 9600SF. less than 1/4 of an acre.  It needs "work"...the kitchen is TERRIBLE (looks original to 1908) & I am sure the baths are the same.  They no longer post photos of them...LOL.  Actually there are only 6 photos up of a near 10kSF house which tells you something.
