First up on #FridayNightZillow:

*REDWOODS CABIN OF THE GODS*

It's absolutely *NUTS*, I want it.
$675K for 4+ acres, 2 beds, a sweet kitchen and gloriously insane decor in *California*?
zillow.com/homedetails/13…

Normalish exterior fades into the Redwoods. Then you walk inside and *BAM. BAM. BAM. BAM.* #FridayNightZillow

All the modern conveniences + REDWOODS. #FridayNightZillow

This lady in the mirror is just a little creepy. #FridayNightZillow

And @ChristinLuvsSno found a frog guarding the step-up red bed thing. #FridayNightZillow

Listing calls the decor "artistic" LOL. "Kitchen boasts leathered raw edge granite counters, custom old growth redwood cabinets, custom ceiling with mood lighting & wolf range." Also, note the sweet underbed storage. #FridayNightZillow

Next up: Reasonably affordable island paradise. You won't believe it. #FridayNightZillow

Next up on #FridayNightZillow:

$500K CONNECTICUT ISLAND HOME

Paradise, found. Mouse Island. Groton. zillow.com/homedetails/2-…?

Cabin, island, wood, views, Connecticut. What's not to like? I suspect you could easily make the mortgage payment with rentals, and surprised actually it lasted until Friday. #FridayNightZillow

"Rebuilt in 1940 and stands strong and proud"
"Midway between Boston and NYC"
#FridayNightZillow

Yes, you would probably be very thankful for the federal flood insurance program methinks, and the subsidies Congress is frequently kicking in to bail it out. #FridayNightZillow

Next on #FridayNightZillow:

🔥BUDDHIST. TEMPLE. RANCH.🔥

3 homes, 45 acres, 9BR, 7BA, 6K SF

Just $1.6M in *California*??? zillow.com/homedetails/94…

Up next on #FridayNightZillow: A #HistoryZillow house that's surprisingly affordable with interesting backstory.

"Wolley Stille" is the Joseph Sharples House built mostly in 1700 & 1750; halfway between Philly & Wilmington.

$799K / 5BRs, 4BAs, 4300sf zillow.com/homedetails/80…

The property itself dates to 1682, and apparently the rock Sharpless carved his initials into is still there in its original location. #FridayNightZillow #HistoryZillow

"Its abolitionist owners provided safe harbor to escaping slaves on their way north via the Underground Railroad and tunnel leading to nearby Ridley Creek." It's on the National Register. (The tunnel has been closed up.)
#FridayNightZillow #HistoryZillow

A little more about the house here. #FridayNightZillow m.facebook.com/groups/4449222…

There are a ton of other architectural details that you can totally wig out on if you're in to that sort of thing. But I've got to move on to the rest of #FridayNightZillow shortly.

Up next on #FridayNightZillow:

Snedecker House in Congers, NY.

1747 Dutch Colonial; George Washington believed to have visited. Historical marker. The house has been updated with a sweet pool.

$1.09M, 5BR, 4BAs, 4500sf. But the TAXES🤯

Up next on #FridayNightZillow: The "Cave House Compound" (It's not *really* a cave)

9K sf, 40 acres, $2.5M, California zillow.com/homedetails/43…

There are multiple buildings, including one that's a library. There's a fun hidden door; I love the main kitchen. And the setting is gorgeous. #FridayNightZillow

Yeah, I could totally live here. #FridayNightZillow

But, seriously, WHAT THE HECK IS THIS? #FridayNightZillow

Really couldn't figure it out. At first I thought it was a sink? That silver thing though is just a weird, um, shaped phone. #FridayNightZillow

We have a winner. It's a seat, not a urinal. #THANKGOD. #FridayNightZillow onward!

Duck Ledges Island. "There is no better place to spend the weekend in the world! The ledges surrounding the island are loaded with seals for constant entertainment." #FridayNightZillow

There IS a drawback. #FridayNightZillow

You could own this 1.5 acre island for $1,583 a month. No HOA! #FridayNightZillow Seriously we should buy it right now and enjoy it before the oceans rise up and swallow it.

More insanely affordable housing on #FridayNightZillow. A big West Virginia Victorian with a river view and a gazebo for, checks notes, $146K? Like a lot of these homes, the interior could use a little work. zillow.com/homedetails/71…

I've seen a LOT of crazy Zillow houses. But I've never seen ANYTHING like this insanity my wife found. Just look at this????????

zillow.com/homedetails/32…

Ending #FridayNightZillow with a grand old place in New York with some history behind it.

"Available for the first time in since its construction over a century ago, The Studio was designed by Delano & Aldrich for Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney"

$4.75M
zillow.com/homedetails/Wh…

"...one of America's first female sculptors and founder of the Whitney Museum of Art. It was here that she worked and played. Converted to a home by her granddaughter in 1982. The Studio is surrounded by paintings and sculpture from leading artists of the day" #FridayNightZillow

"The main studio room serves as the nucleus of the home and is a grand 40 by 60 feet with a 20 foot ceiling and flooded with light via a massive north facing skylight"
#FridayNightZillow

Hope you enjoyed #FridayNightZillow and see you next time. If you made it this far, let me know which ones you liked/hated/loved to hate.

Addendum: A great write-up of the Vanderbilt Whitney estate

https://twitter.com/HopewellKat/status/1441755439658639367?s=20

“It was there that she modeled her statues. Her assistants would lower them into the basement through a trapdoor and load them onto a pony cart that would take them down a long tunnel to the outdoor kilns for firing.”

Fantastic.
