The details are exquisite from the superb built-in sofas and cabinetry to the lighting and 3 wood burning fireplaces. Add to this the level changes, fantastic curved walls and a wooded 3.47 acre lot.

Glass Wall Stunner in Lake Charles, LA - 2,788 sqft. ($720,000)
This 1965 post and beam home sits on a 1.43 acre beautiful lot with almost 300 feet of Bayou waterfront. The walls of glass make the most of the view but facing north means the house doesn't heat up too much from direct sun. The limited interior photos show an all-original state, which we love. Wood paneling and concrete floors give this house a great set of bones to work with.
Post and Beam Heaven in Kent, WA - 1,810 sqft. ($520,000)
This home was designed by my favorite PNW architect, Paul Hayden Kirk. The house has a beautiful structure, at once strong and light, imposing but transparent. Light filled and open plan, the beams draw your eyes outwards to the aptly named Scenic Way. One of the best and I'm surprised at how affordable it appears. Can you say 'bidding war'?
Bonus Listing! This one was sent in to us by the homeowner. Located in Weston, Connecticut, this home was built in 1965 by a Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice and is for sale at $750,000. Check out the full listing HERE.
