Santa’s House Listed On Zillow Real Estate Website
The folks at the real estate website Zillow are obviously in a holiday mood. They’ve just revealed a listing for Santa’s House at the North Pole.
It’s not opulent but it’s extremely cozy, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and 2,500 square feet of “gorgeous old-growth timber logged on site.” Santa Claus’ house has never been sold and is not on the market, Zillow said in a news release.
Although the house is not for sale, Santa was able to update his home’s description and add photos, which can enhance the “Zestimate” value, Zillow said.
Built in 1822, the home looks great, thanks to a 2013 update with modern amenities.
The gourmet kitchen, for example, features an oven with 12 different cookie settings. The living room retains its Old World charm with a floor-to-ceiling river rock fireplace for roasting chestnuts.
In Santa’s study are a writing desk and sewing table where Santa made the original teddy bear, according to Zillow.
“Santa’s home at the North pole is one of the most famous homes in the world, so we’re thrilled it’s now on Zillow,” said Zillow spokesman Jeremy Wacksman.
Also, at the Santa’s house listing on Zillow, children can start following Santa’s Christmas Eve trek to deliver presents around the world through the official NORAD Santa tracker. Type “Santa’s house” into the search bar on Zillow.com and click on “Locate Santa” in the lower right corner of the page.
The 25-acre property includes a workshop that is, of course, state of the art with work stations for 50 elves. The garage houses Santa’s all-weather sleigh, and the stables have space for eight live-in reindeer.
With all these features, this property would be snatched up if it were for sale. The “Zestimate” price of $656,957 or rental rate of $3,300 per month would be a bargain for Santa Claus’ house at the North Pole.
Dracula’s Castle For Sale
Dracula’s Castle For Sale
If you have $135 million you can own Dracula’s Castle. The Transylvanian mansion is said to be the inspiration for the castle in the Dracula films, which is how it received its name.
Bran Castle, the alleged inspiration for Dracula’s castle in Bram Stoker’s 1987 classic horror story, is for sale.
The imposing fortress, which dates back to the 13th century, sits atop a craggy rock formation in the Transylvania region of central Romania. The castle was used as a defense against the Ottoman Empire in the 1400s, and over the following centuries it was also used as a customs point. Throughout much of the 20th century, Bran Castle was a royal residence of the Kingdom of Romania.
Bram Stoker never visited Romania, but “he depicted the imaginary Dracula’s castle based upon a description of Bran Castle that was available to him in turn-of-the-century Britain,” according to the castle’s official website.
