House of the Day: Jackson Hole's Paintbrush Ranch Offers Picture-Perfect Views

Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.

Location: Jackson Hole, Wyo.
Price: $8,495,000
The Skinny: Encompassed by National Park and National Forest, the aptly-named Paintbrush Ranch displays perfectly-framed mountain vistas through broad picture windows. This five-acre property sits at just the right distance from the famous Teton Range, capturing the jagged peaks in their entirety, and from nearly every room in the house. The 9,100-square-foot main house has an exposed wood frame construction that adds that mountain vibe, and while the interior design and architecture leave a little to be desired—ahem, is that a velvet painting in the bedroom?—there's little here that a little sprucing up couldn't fix. Plus, there's space galore, with a detached three-car garage topped by a two-bed apartment, a one-bedroom caretaker's cottage, and two "shop" buildings to store all the toys. The price may be hefty, at $8.5M, but that's a major discount on the original asking price, which was almost $14M.

House of the Day: Sprawling Contemporary Offers Alternative to Preppy Standards

Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got.

Location: Greenwich, Conn.
Price: $13,000,000
The Skinny: Built in 1992 to blueprints by Ulrich Franzen—designer of Manhattan's Phillip Morris Building—this country estate proffers a striking post-modern profile in a land of shingle and stone. The five-bedroom mansion sits on seven acres of lakeview property, and the house takes advantage of those views with a towering glass atrium. Aside from the architectural distinction of the main house, the property boasts a two-bedroom guest house, parking for seven cars, a swimming pool, and an illuminated tennis court. A healthy roster of amenities, but, frankly, we're just happy this 1992 build didn't try to emulate the old guard.

This is just wild: a kids' bed made to look like a book. Photographer Yusuke Suzuki created each flippable "page" from sheets and pillows. Is it nap time yet?

The closet above comes to our attention by way of our cousins over at Curbed Chicago, who shed light on the converted lofts in a former Florsheim Shoe factory. This one's on the market for $109K. It may not be much to look at it, but points for candor!
