The Real ‘Westworld’: A Rustic ‘Fixer-Upper’ in Nebraska Is This Week’s Top Home

The rustic look popularized by Chip and Joanna Gaines of HGTV’s “Fixer Upper” has captivated home fanatics. Need proof? Look no further than the Nebraska home perched atop our list of the most-clicked homes on realtor.com® this week.

Situated just outside of Omaha, the home features a front exterior that resembles a building from the Old West. The wood facade conjures up images of a saloon or general store, but the huge wood deck on the home’s second level is pure 21st century.

Inside, the home reminds us of the converted workshop, which finished in first place about a month ago in our weekly popularity contest. Rustic wood melds with new details and sparkling finishes—and it all butts up to a pristine 10-car garage, designed expressly for working on big projects. While it’s not exactly a “barndominium,” it’s close and the Gaines Effect we’re seeing is real.

Beyond the notable Nebraska home, you also clicked on a huge equestrian estate in Pennsylvania, a pristine New Orleans condo in a beautiful old building, and a home we believe belongs to a Secret Service agent in Virginia.

But it’s no secret we love to monitor exactly what homes you click on every week, so scroll on down to see the full list of this week’s most popular homes.

3. 3523 N Valley St, Arlington, VA

Why it’s here: With its proximity to the nation’s capital, this five-bedroom home would be a perfect spot for a family with ties to the new administration to settle down.
