If you like it, we suggest you put an offer on it. Topping the charts this week as the most popular home is the childhood residence of megastar Beyoncé.
The future singer/songwriter/actress/record producer/dancer spent her early years in this humble Houston home. The connection to Queen Bey caused the Beyhive to buzz for this otherwise unremarkable residence.
Setting down our lemonade, we love this week's runner-up: a storybook home near a picturesque lake in Oregon. And although Elvis left the building decades ago, the pad where he spent his honeymoon with Priscilla finished in the third spot.
Other abodes worth singing about this week included a midcentury modern time capsule in Southern California, a charming renovation in New Orleans, and an A-plus A-frame in Missouri.
Come make the grade with us and have a look at all of this week's most popular homes.
1. 2414 Rosedale St, Houston, TX
Price: $500,000
Why it’s here: The childhood home of megastar Beyoncé set the web ablaze this week.
Built in 1946, the three-bedroom home has original hardwood floors, an updated kitchen with granite counters and stainless-steel appliances, a spacious living room with fireplace, a media room, and a master suite with a platform bed.
But the real draw is owning a piece of music history. Listing agent Brad Upshaw confirmed to ABC News that the property was purchased by the Knowles family in January 1982, when the future Queen Bey was just 5 months old. The family lived in the modest brick home until she was about 5.
2. 231 Dogwood Dr, Gates, OR
Price: $359,000
Why it’s here: Here’s a storybook getaway in a fairy-tale setting. This sweet two-bedroom abode is nestled into the woods and overlooks the majestic North Santiam River. Custom-built in 2010, the home features an open kitchen, living room with stone fireplace, and open staircase to the second floor. Details include fir flooring, custom lighting, custom wood design, and detailed trim accents.
3. 1350 Ladera Cir, Palm Springs, CA
Price: $2,975,000
Why it’s here: This home has it all: a celebrity connection, history, and a celebrated designer. Known as the “honeymoon hideaway" of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, the futuristic residence from 1960 was dubbed the “House of Tomorrow.” The listing, which came on the market in 2014 for $9.5 million, has generated tons of online interest—but no buyer yet.
