This 1885 Victorian in Oshkosh, WI starts out great, turns to a crap reno, then gets great again. 4bds, 4ba, 4,705sqft, Cut $100k to $499,900 (Zillow's est.: $503k)
Look at this entrance hall. The inlaid floor, refinished wood, and that newel post!
Then, the wall going up the stairs and that arch. It has a built-in bench and doors.
Beautiful hall. Look at the curved wall and the ceiling.
The receiving room ties in w/the hall.
Large dining room with a corner fireplace and look at the glass door to the porch.
This looks like an office and music room.
Absolutely hate the kitchen remodel, particularly, the island.
At least they left this window and the seating.
Very dull powder room.
Family room loaded with those inexpensive shelves. At least they left the ceiling and floor.
Not a fan of the new shower.
The top of the stairs to the bedrooms.
Grayscale bedroom. At least the pocket doors are still there.
Large rooms, all gray with all the wood painted over in white.
This bath has a nice new shower and they kept the vintage elements.
Oh, they painted the whole wall of closets gray.
How depressing. The bedrooms need redecorating.
It has a vintage ensuite. This could be a nice little bedroom suite.
Finished attic all in grayscale, but they left the wood alone. They must've bought a case of those shelving brackets.
The attic is very large and has wainscoting, natural wood, and stained glass.
This amazing 1992 art compound in Taos, NM belonged to sculptor Thom Wheeler. The 4bd, 5ba, 7,030sqft home consists of 2 residences, a public gallery, a private gallery, and an antique shop. $1.995m.
Let's begin w/the white building first. It has living quarters with some gothic elements. This is a very gothic style studio apt.
The bath has a laundry area.
And, there's also a lovely deck.
This is so nice, it would make a great studio.
Then, here is the retail space and gallery.
This is lovely.
Beautiful barn workshop.
Now, to the main residence.
Very spacious open floor plan.
Love the sculpted rounded kitchen.
Nice family room with doors to a terrace.
Large bedroom.
Ensuite with Mexican tile.
This bedroom has a beautiful built-in.
And, another tile ensuite.
Covered deck.
And, this smaller one is at the top of the building.
I don't know why this lovely cottage didn't sell, but it went back on the market today. (Maybe too many stairs?) Anyway, it's a 1937 home in Twin Peaks, CA, has 3bds, 2ba, 1,110sqft, and comes fully furnished for $434k (Zillow's est.: $431,100).
4,420sqft lot.
Very cozy living room.
There are 2 entrances to the room. Look at the nice brick fireplace.
It has wainscoting, a wood coffered ceiling, and very nice wallpaper. The house was once owned by a designer.
The furnishings include some wonderful antiques like this vintage radio.
Lots of vintage lamps.
If I remember correctly, the previous owner stenciled the leaves on these walls. The dining room has a built-in corner cupboard and wainscoting.
Stairs to the upstairs bedroom are in the dining room.
This is a true cottage kitchen with sunny fairytale cabinetry and a door to the large deck. Note the vintage appliances.
There's also a full bath on this floor.
This bedroom is on the main floor.
And, upstairs, there's this pretty bedroom.
It has a roomy full bath up here, too.
The house is built on a hillside, so there are several outdoor places to hang out. Behind the house, there's this patio area.
Then, there's also a nice covered porch.
And, below the porch, there's a deck w/a built-in bench.
This lower part of the deck has a private guest room.
It has a sitting area and a bedroom. Look at the unusual way the sleeping area is designed.
The laundry room is down here, too, which is kind of inconvenient. Could be the awkward layout is why it hasn't sold. But, it's so cute.
Cute 1913 Victorian in Mobile, AL has those down-to-the-floor windows. 3bds, 3ba, 1,731sqft, $299k (Zillow's est.: $296,700) I don't know why, but it's not selling.
Has a lovely front porch and look at the nice historic plaque they give in AL
Large, granny style reception hall.
It's in very good condition. Looks like the floor and stairs have been replaced.
You can tell when a house is loved. Someone got up there to paint clouds on the ceiling. I like the "chippy" fireplace.
Cheery dining room.
The kitchen' nice. Looks like the top cabinets are original and it has a vintage looking sink.
Look at the vintage stove.
Nice shower room. The shower looks new.
Spacious bedroom has 2 build-in closets.
Very nice bathroom redo. Love the piece they chose for the sink.
Vintage clawfoot tub.
You don't see these kind of windows often.
Unused bedroom.
Another empty bedroom. They're pretty good sizes, though.
Nice 2nd story porch.
There's a small porch on the side of the house, but not much of a yard to speak of. Maybe that's one of the reasons it's not selling. It's private though, with the 6ft. stockade fence. 2,369.66sqft lot.
Wow, honestly this is the first time I’ve seen a pristine 50s house that made me go “Oh THAT’S why they made those choices”??? Like, you usually only see old houses looking VERY worn-down and kinda sad, but this looks like we time-traveled into the past when it was new and tidy, and suddenly some of those choices that feel odd today make SENSE, because while they were new and loved, the now-odd furniture and appliance colors and whatnot look NICE. It’s still an “outdated” style but it doesn’t look “old.” Very neat glimpse at history!
Still no takers. The 1850 octagonal fairy tale house in Irvington, NY has been taken off the market again, but Zillow kept the listing up, just in case. The 7bd, 3ba, 8,400sqft home is worth $3,594,700.
Look at this fully restored beauty.
Original etched glass, bronze lamp on the newel post, and no gray or modern features in sight.
Original ceiling in the sitting room.
So pretty.
Large formal dining room. Love the peach accents.
This kitchen. This is how you restore an historic kitchen. It's perfect.
Lovely bright bedroom.
Big, light filled rooms.
Gorgeous stairs have bronze lamps on every floor.
Interesting Egyptian motif.
And, this is how you restore a vintage bath.
Check out the finished rotunda room at the top of the home. But, it goes higher than this.
Clear up to where there's a skylight to see the ornament on top.
The outbuildings are delightful, painted with whimsical stripes.
The little blue cottage, and we do mean BLUE! 1910 cottage in Spokane, WA has 2bds, 1ba, 1,000sqft, and is decorated, and move-in ready, as long as you love blue. $345k.
The living room is cozy, and it's open to the dining room, which gives it a more spacious feel. Actually, the stones on the fireplace don't look terrible painted blue. The owner really likes silk flowers, too.
The dining room could probably fit a rectangular table if the carousel horse wasn't there. It takes up space, especially w/the theater rope.
Cute sliding barn door.
The kitchen has purple cabinets!
Behind the kitchen sink there's the single bath in the home.
The fridge is covered in some sort of patterned contact paper.
Standard 3pc. bath is decorated in a cute tropical style.
The primary bedroom isn't very large, but it's large enough.
Bd. #2 is used as a game room.
This bonus space is large enough to fit a piano and full size sofa.
The yard is just as colorful as the inside.
The garage is painted in stripes to match the lawn furniture.
