NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.‘s megamansion in Mooresville, NC, zoomed past the competition this week. The speed demon’s equestrian estate is this week’s most popular home on Realtor.com®.

The huge spread features European-style stables, custom stalls, and an illuminated and enclosed arena with a viewing area. A delightful outdoor area was designed for entertaining thanks to a vanishing-edge pool, cabana, and putting green. It’s a real glimpse inside the digs of a NASCAR superstar, and fans responded in droves.

Aside from Stenhouse’s superior digs, you also clicked on a mysterious California house featuring an area eerily dubbed “The Room,” a somewhat creepy home in Ohio that’s been unoccupied for decades, and a sprawling Florida mansion with Disney theme park–designed bedrooms.

For a full look at this week’s 10 most popular homes, simply scroll on down.

Price: $699,000 Why it’s here: Charming and historic, the Wilfred Mansur Home is well-known for its combination of old English, Gothic, Queen Anne, and shingle styles.

Built in 1893, this eight-bedroom home features extraordinary details, including a balustered veranda, carved white oak, paneled pilasters with lion’s head brackets, and wrought-iron archways. There are also six fireplaces, a copper butler’s sink, and stained-glass windows throughout the 5,734-square-foot home.

A carriage house could be used as an office or studio, or converted into space for rental income.

Price: $1,050,000 Why it’s here: This intriguing home went viral thanks to a mysterious space dubbed “The Room.”

Located on a cul-de-sac with canyon views, the 4,423-square-foot house features an abundance of windows, skylights, and storage space.

With floor-to-ceiling cabinets and shelves filling the walls of this custom room, there’s space to store every single item you own. Speculation ran wild online with theories about what was kept in The Room. But according to SFGate, the home was owned by an elderly woman who was a collector of books, DVDs, and VHS tapes.

Price: $1,899,000 Why it’s here: This gulfside home has a dramatic three-story foyer and two levels of wraparound decks to soak up the waterfront views.

With 4,231 square feet of living space, the spacious five-bedroom estate was designed for entertaining. It features a walk-in wet bar and separate wine and beverage refrigerators. The primary suite offers up dual closets, a window seat, built-in linen cabinet, whirlpool tub, and glass-block shower. An elevator provides easy access to all three levels. The property also comes with a private kayak ramp.

Price: $175,000 Why it’s here: This affordable local landmark was custom-built in 1930, but it will need extensive TLC. The listing notes it has been “unoccupied for decades.”

Known affectionately as the “Little Palace,” this four-bedroom brick home offers 3,572 square feet of space. Historic features include archways, dramatic fireplaces, and high ceilings.

The property sits on a 5-acre lot in the historical center of Streetsboro. There’s a separate guesthouse that could be used as a home office.

Price: $599,000 Why it’s here: Become the baron of your own water park! The former 30-acre Lake Juno Park was once a popular swimming, camping, and entertainment destination.

For 48 years, this park attracted folks with its waterslides, campground, miniature golf, and paddleboard offerings. But buyer beware: The party building, electrical systems, and three-bedroom residence all “require major repairs” for termite, mold, and water damage.

Price: $475,000 Why it’s here: This seven-bedroom home comes with a surprising indoor pool.

We didn’t expect to find an aquatic feature inside a home that was built in 1928. The current owners renovated the charming 4,503-square-foot brick house, including updating the kitchen and bathrooms. It sits on an acre lot and offers pleasing views of Chautauqua Lake.

Price: $15,000,000 Why it’s here: We’ve seen the trend toward theme park residences in this part of Florida, and this enormous estate is just another example. It offers luxury for the adults while keeping the kids entertained. There’s a “Star Wars” bedroom area and a princess bedroom complete with a carriage.

Known as Bentley Hall, the seven-bedroom, 20,690-square-foot home is located just a few minutes from Walt Disney World. The estate is being offered fully furnished and comes with an indoor spa, sauna, steam room, gym, and home theater complete with a concession area and ice cream bar.

Price: $1,200,000 Why it’s here: Holy time capsule! This ’70s-themed house in Niagara County even features carpet in the kitchen.

Not much has changed on the inside of this 8,095-square-foot home since it was built in 1967. The brick estate provides a throwback to more colorful times with its brightly colored carpets, parquet floors, and wood paneling. We wouldn’t touch a thing—except that kitchen carpet.

Price: $15,995,000 Why it’s here: This 140-acre equestrian estate is where NASCAR Driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. races home after a weekend on the track.

The sprawling five-bedroom mansion features a dramatic two-story foyer with double staircases and gorgeous wrought-iron railings.

The home offers nearly 10,000 square feet of living space, and luxury details include exposed wood beam ceilings, an eye-popping curved kitchen, a glass-enclosed wine cellar, and a home theater.
