If psychedelic colors, copious amounts of wood paneling, and wrought-iron railings are your bag, you will love this week’s most popular home on realtor.com®.

It’s a time capsule that has remained relatively untouched for over five decades. Built in 1967, the Missouri home is still in pristine condition—from its hot-pink carpets and hand-carved wood paneling to a selection of bold wallpapers plucked straight from Carol Brady’s vision board.

Originally designed to look like an English manor, the home covers 34 acres and is crammed with architectural gems, for example, hand-carved fireplace mantles and a standout spiral staircase.

Out front, there’s an amazing curved porte-cochère that welcomes guests to the estate. Surrounding the ’60s throwback house are more than 34 acres of pastoral land dotted with barns and guesthouses, for a private retreat unlike any other.

The Missouri throwback wasn’t the only oversized property to make our list. Michael Jordan‘s enormous mansion near Chicago continued to rack up clicks, even though it’s been on the market for nearly a decade.

The mansion’s new wave of popularity comes thanks to ESPN’s blockbuster documentary “The Last Dance.”

Even though the price on MJ’s home has been cut a number of times, no buyer has seen fit to roll through the front gates emblazoned with the number “23” and make an offer.

Other homes you clicked on this week included a lavish Tennessee estate with an epic pool party setup, a must-see modern home in Washington, and a waterfront castle—in Kansas City.
