At Trulia, we spend a lot of time looking at houses. When you see so many amazing homes on a daily basis, it’s hard to pick a favorite. We challenged our mighty PR team of Ken, Daisy, Cristin and Vanessa to pick their favorite home currently for sale on Trulia and explain why. While each of their chosen homes are stunning, it’s the reason WHY they picked that home that really says it all.

I moved to California almost 13 years ago but I will always be a sucker for cape cod style shingle houses. This home on the Marblehead Neck is the perfect example of the “summer home” I would love to own one day. Marblehead is cool little town north of Boston with an old school downtown. Marblehead is also where I used to go to the beach growing up and where we went to see the July 4th fireworks every year. This home would provide the perfect view and I can picture bbq’ing with my friends and family and making this a new tradition for years to come.

Having just moved to a new house on a hill in Oakland, I thought I would share my dream house in Piedmont, CA – which is part of the “real” Oakland Hills. What I love about this 6-bedroom, 5 full/3partial bath house is its history and style, which brings to life one of my favorite books, “The Great Gatsby.” Built by renowned architect Albert Farr in the 1920s, it features all the classic details and elegance that you don’t see in any of the new, track homes that are built today. What’s even more awesome about this house is that all ancient plumbing and fixtures has already been gutted and updated. Score! As an added bonus, this four-story house includes a library, wine cellar, a grand stone terrace with an outdoor fireplace, two offices, a guest suite with its own kitchen and private entrance.

I’ve always loved to chase the sun. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my family on the Hawaiian islands, returned in my teens to dance in the Pro Bowl halftime show and other times just to enjoy the spirit of the Islands. While I love a Hawaiian sunset, the only thing I love more is seeing it with friends and family. This is why I am swooning over this massive Maui home. It’s over 11, 000 square feet of living space, which means that there is room for everyone! This magnificent beachfront home has stunning ocean and sunset views. Big and open, the outstanding craftsmanship is visible throughout the two master suites, six guest suites, media room, library, office, and separate caretaker’s quarter (or additional bedrooms). The warm sandy beach and warm Pacific ocean are the backyard of this Kaanapali estate. This needs to be my vacation home - stat!

When I envision my dream home, I see a grand estate that can appeal to every side of my personality. I’m the type of girl who loves a fun night out on the town but can also enjoy a quiet night in. This Paradise Valley home offers the best of both worlds. Located just ten minutes away from the fun nightlife of Scottsdale, the 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 9,358 square foot estate mixes traditional décor with modern architecture offering a well-rounded Arizona escape. I love old European and Italian architecture and décor however a modern twist is a must. This home’s traditional architecture and design with its high ceilings, large windows and massive drapes gives it a very homey feel. Its modern exterior landscaping with the pool, fountain and cabana design gives it a sleek finish. I’m a very active person so the lap pool, in-home fitness center, basketball court and tennis court are amazing to have right at your fingertips. On those scorching Arizona nights, a night in hanging out in the library, entertainment center/home theater and/or wine cellar and grotto sound like a dream come true. Me = obsessed.
