FIRST TONIGHT on an *EPIC* #FridayNightZillow: An *amazing* Norwegian-style home built by hand out of solid redwood by a brilliant pathologist who found the 2018 Spanish flu in lung tissue of bodies buried in Alaskan permafrost. $1.6M. Follow along... 1/ zillow.com/homedetails/22…?

The pathologist, inventor, mountaineer and "one of the world's leading authorities on labyrinths and runes," Johan Hultin, died in January. This New York Times obit of his quest to isolate the 2018 Spanish flu is amazing: nytimes.com/2022/01/27/hea… #FridayNightZillow

"This house is a replica of the Norwegian Vastveitloftet from the Skansen Stockholm open-air museum of Scandinavian architecture." Says it was built to last 1,000 years. #FridayNightZillow

Hultin, per the Zillow listing, also invented a crash-absorbing automobile bumper and a hand brake for chainsaws. The Washington Post's obit of him here is also good: washingtonpost.com/obituaries/202… #FridayNightZillow

It's been a long week. OF COURSE I meant the ***1918*** Spanish flu. Twitter, I would pay you $50 for an edit button right about now, but you still haven't figured out how to take my money for a typo. #FridayNightZillow

I could totally live here. Good vibes, great setting. MUCH MORE #FridayNightZillow to come! Next up: $199K artist's home, then a West Virginia cray cray cray compound.

Next on #FridayNightZillow: A shockingly cheap, renowned artist's home in Milan, Minnesota. It's a living museum to her art, and the local arts school is raising money to preserve it. On Zillow for *$199K*??? That's #CheapZillow! zillow.com/homedetails/10…

These intricate details are throughout the home. Specializing in Rosemaling and Dalamalning, artist Karen Jenson's "Trestuen Garden Gallery" has 50 years worth of her work in it. Gorgeous gardens. Amazing character. Insane price. #FridayNightZillow

PBS profiled Karen Jenson in her cool home. Brought a smile to my face, and we need more of those this week I think. #FridayNightZillow

Karen Jenson's lifetime of work is posted on her website. It's gorgeous. #FridayNightZillow karenjensonrosemaling.com/Works/

Next up: the "Keyes Ferry Estate." It's wild and wonderful in West Virginia and it's on #FridayNightZillow! $2.95M in Charles Town. Has it's own chapel, tower, pool, and much more on 30 acres. ~8K sf. zillow.com/homedetails/11…
