It’s an NHL fantasy camp come to life. You can work on your slap shot without ever setting foot outside your property!
A Connecticut compound with a hockey rink skated away with the title of most popular property on realtor.com® this week.
On the market for a little over a month, the one-of-a-kind offering continued to gather up clicks from folks who dream of putting on a power play in the privacy of their own home.
The professional-grade hockey rink even comes complete with its own Zamboni. The property also boasts two guesthouses and a pool, for those who aren’t interested in lacing up the skates.
However, it’s the building built for hard-checking action that makes this a can’t-miss home.
Outside the rink, you took the time to click on a few other extreme homes this week. Interest in a massive 8,400-square-foot barndominium in Iowa spiked, as did clicks for a spectacular 1960s lemon-lime waterfront time capsule in Oklahoma, and a midcentury masterpiece in Michigan perched on the private Lake Helene.
In the wise words of the office philosopher Michael Scott (or was it hockey legend Wayne Gretzky?): “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
With that in mind, we’d like you to take a shot at perusing all of this week’s most popular homes…
