We’ve seen plenty of swimming pools of azure blue—edgeless pools that appear to expand into infinity. We’ve seen gorgeous, black-bottomed pools. We’ve even seen pools with David Bowie painted on the bottom.

But we’d never seen a red pool until photos of this week’s most popular home on Realtor.com® took the internet by storm.

The acclaimed tattoo artist Kat Von D is responsible for the splashy crimson backyard (and $15 million mansion) in Los Angeles, which raked in tens of thousands of clicks this week.

The former reality TV star turned her signature style into a fully fledged fashion moment and built a booming makeup business in the process. Her aesthetic is obvious throughout the rest of her three-story home, which resembles a Goth girl fantasy, with ornate period furnishings covered in miles of velvet and silk.

Aside from the residence of Ms. Von D, you also clicked on a lovely home just blocks off the French Quarter in NOLA, a historic Iowa home built by the area’s first lumber baron in 1890, and a cabin retreat in New York built in 2018, with cathedral ceilings and loads of natural light.

Price: $799,000

1. 357 Lorraine Blvd, Los Angeles, CA

Prior to the tattoo artist’s tenure, this three-story Victorian from 1896 was known as the “Cheaper by the Dozen” home—thanks to the 2003 film, which used it as a filming location.

Nowadays, this Goth fever dream of a residence evinces no signs of family-friendly cinema. Inside, the 12,565-square-foot mansion now features rich, dark woods, ornate furnishings and trimmings, as well as red and black velvet nearly everywhere.
