Victorian big-ticket homes in California

Welcome to StyleExplorer, a new home search experience powered by design. For the first time you can find homes by their architectural style. You can search by specific rooms or features. You can go inside and compare décor, furnishings and layouts of the homes that you like side-by-side. It’s analogous to visiting multiple open houses at the same time. Curious about what’s inside the home next door? You can “peek” into your neighbors’ kitchens, or yards, or bedrooms, to see how their homes compare, not by value-per-square foot calculations, but by room-by-room immersions.

Purlin uses its AI to read and learn from the data in images to make this style experience possible. As you explore, it learns what you like. When you are ready to find the right home, it delivers matches that are personalized to your specific criteria, including your unique style.
