Titles in Literate as Real Estate Headings.

For a piece that I’m writing, I’m looking for the titles of well known of literature that could double as the heading of a real estate listing.
I’ve come up with:
As You Like It
Wind in the Willows
Animal Farm
Light in August
I like As You Like It, the others, meh. Can you think of anything better?

This Side of Paradise (F Scott Fitzgerald) / reverse of this would be Paradise Lost
At the Bay (Katherine Mansfield)
Under the Greenwood Tree (Thomas Hardy)
A Study in Scarlet (Arthur Conan Doyle)
The Skylight Room (also The Furnished Room) (O Henry)
(Bleak House as a real estate listing title made me laugh, and that got me thinking of other headings that maybe wouldn't be great for sales: Much Ado About Nothing, The Waste Land, Peril at End House, The Mousetrap.)

Mod note: Just as a quick note, to keep this useful, do try to avoid titles that might refer to a place, structure, view, or whatever but are negative ideas in terms of a listing that is actually trying to promote the sale (or rental) of a property. Thanks.
