On The Market: Four Homes With Unbeatable Views

If you've been in town for more than five minutes, you know there's a surplus of pretty homes around this city. We aren't strangers to the adorable craftsman bungalows in Hyde Park, the mega-mansions in Indian Hill, or the modern lofts in OTR. But if there's one thing that remains the creme de la creme of all real estate here in Cincinnati, it's an epic view.

Lucky for us, there's a bountiful selection of homes strategically sprinkled over our seven hills for this reason. Choosing only four with that aforementioned epic view was tricky, but here they are nonetheless:
