For fantasy fans: Known by locals as “the castle in Orono,” the stately Huntington Manor is an impressive sight for anyone to see. But fans of the steampunk genre or the hit HBO show “Game of Thrones” will especially appreciate the stone-and-steel manor’s subtle design touches that range from a chain crank-operated entertainment system to a lower level fireplace that drew inspiration from the darkened corridors of the Hall of Faces in Braavos.

Stop 2: Sustainable 9

Not to mention, the lower area also includes a game area and wet bar, creating the perfect space to family and friends.

For condo connoisseurs: Located in a small boutique condo building in Edina’s Pamela Park neighborhood, this upscale condo is a great one to take a peek at if you’re looking for inspiration for a smaller space (though with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, one could argue it doesn’t quite qualify as “small.”) Plus, the condo was specifically designed to provide privacy to its residents, with the removal of long hallways and shared walls, so your home is truly your own space.

Stop 6: Hartman Homes
