Omaha's Most Unique Homes??
I'm trying to develop an extensive walk/drive tour-type list of unique homes (still standing) in Omaha. What would you suggest be included? Homes can be from any era, any style, or any part of town (include adaptive reuse homes, like a warehouse conversion)...

I own that book (excellent, btw) and just about every other one like it out there (Omaha City Architecture being my all-time favorite) but I guess what I'm asking is this... if you could spend one day looking at a collection of houses in Omaha, or say if you were going to make a photo book similar to building for the ages that just focused on homes, what are the individual gems you would want to see? For example: Uber-modern homes might include the house on 52nd St. just south of Leavenworth, The Gordman House in Regency, The old BF Goodrich warehouse conversion on Abput 22nd and St. Marys, etc........
Nope, Still on the market. Listed by Ralph Marasco of CBS Home.Stargazer wrote:How about that place southeast, adjacent the Amtrak station property? Did that thing ever sell by the way?

Immediately NE of 9th and Pacific. Â Private drive comes in from the north side of the block.

Not sure if it's the entire partial block, or just the part with the trees.

Stable genius.
Yup. Â It's not a "house", though. Â It's a "residence". Â The photos when it was listed on cbshome.com were pretty sweet. Â The someone that wants to live in that neighborhood has a pretty sweet setup now. Â I'd say it's comparable to the residence in Prouty Place over by the CLink, north of 902 Dodge.iamjacobm wrote:With the smokestack? I didn't know that was a house.
I don't remember what it started life as. Â Something that supported the train stations, maybe? Â Someone on here will know, I'm sure.

822 Pacific on YouTube if you ever wanted to know what the inside looks like....

I drive past that thing constantly, and I have always wanted to take a look inside that place at some point. Â Maybe I'll just walk up there one day and say hi...mr. omaha wrote:I own that book (excellent, btw) and just about every other one like it out there (Omaha City Architecture being my all-time favorite) but I guess what I'm asking is this... if you could spend one day looking at a collection of houses in Omaha, or say if you were going to make a photo book similar to building for the ages that just focused on homes, what are the individual gems you would want to see?

This house in my neighborhood has been taking forever, but seems like its going to be really unique when its done. Its right across from Westside's football field.

It's in Bellevue, but I remember driving past it years ago and thinking it stuck out like a sore thumb:
505 Ridge Rd, Bellevue, NE 68005

Haha I just drove by that house this past winter for the first time. Was that something else before a residence? WowChadJK wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 1:55 pm It's in Bellevue, but I remember driving past it years ago and thinking it stuck out like a sore thumb:

I'm confused, is this referring to the Zillow listing as that's in Elkhorn.ChadJK wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 1:55 pm It's in Bellevue, but I remember driving past it years ago and thinking it stuck out like a sore thumb:

Needless to say, what the actual F... The house makes no sense. Reminds of one Phil Dunphey is trying to sell on Modern Family... you go through one door and end up on a different level.
Drum set just chilling in the backyard... WOW? Keyboard against the wall outside the indoor pool... and there appears to be someone living there sorta... clothes in the closet and some |expletive| around the house but other spots look completely empty (garage and some of the rooms).
Who lives in that place and says "Man, this place is awesome in 2023". It looks like they might even have younger kids.
All I can say is "WOW".
