Mansion Global introduced a new series over the summer, Listing of the Day, which highlights standout homes on our site. As of Tuesday, we had profiled 26 houses in 11 countries around the world. There was an estate in Connecticut with tennis courts that can be converted into a hockey rink; a Midcentury-style mansion near San Francisco’s Billionaires' Row; and a Tuscan villa with a 15th-century watchtower. Here’s a look at the five most-viewed homes since the series began in August.
