After having gone snow blind from looking at white houses all morning, I finally came across this beauty, built in 1905, in a refined Edwardian style with elements of the prior Arts and Crafts movement in London. It’s been carefully reno’d- cozy colorful, and a bit moody. 
Tumblr media
Greeted by a black staircase with an attractive black & white runner. The walls are a sophisticated, moody deep green with black trim. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cozy and formal navy blue living room. But, there are whimsical touches, such as the pencil drawing over the fireplace.
Tumblr media
A black dining room gets lots of light thru floor to ceiling windows and a door to the garden. Plus, a fireplace with a green tile hearth stands out.
Tumblr media
Love this feature- windows open from the kitchen to the dining room. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen is fabulous. Trendy forest green cabinetry and a pink ceiling with a built-in matching pink cabinet.
Tumblr media
The kitchen opens to a breezeway that leads to the patio.
Tumblr media
Another bit of fun on the stairs - a framed Dracula poster.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Upstairs is a tranquil deep green and black main bedroom. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Beautifully updated bath with deep green subway tile and white mosaics.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A sophisticated nursery in deep blue and black with a stunning fireplace.
Tumblr media
These beautiful stairs lead to the attic guest room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The guest room has been remodeled with two big skylights and window seats, plus a sink.
Tumblr media
Patio with stunning gardens.
Tumblr media
Further back on the property is a wonderful greenhouse.

Thanks to Curieously for finding this wonderfully quaint 1830 artist's home and art gallery in Bristol, ME. Just look at that little pink windmill. 6bds, 2ba, $625K.
Tumblr media
The entrance to the home is so pretty, I love informal gardens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Love that everything is so original. The fireplace is wonderful and so is the wide plank floor with a worn path to the next room. What a cozy living room.
Tumblr media
Lovely dining room. The vintage fixture above fits perfectly. It's a simple home, no need for a fancy chandelier.
Tumblr media
The kitchen has just enough modernization and those floors!
Tumblr media
The simple cabinets and worn finish make it look as if they might be original.
Tumblr media
Original hearth, but I wonder if they put a wall over the original fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is a beautiful room with the little turret-like bumpout.
Tumblr media
They are focusing on the fireplaces in the home. Maybe this is a bedroom
Tumblr media
And, this room is lined with wide plank knotty pine, although I suspect that it's fairly recent.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nice rounded railings and stairs.
Tumblr media
Lovely light-filled bedroom.
Tumblr media
Empty room modernized for a gallery.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wow, look at the studio.
Tumblr media
Photo of the whole home. It's pretty big for the price.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Two other entrances. This home also has a Mansard roof and 2 acres of land.

Stunning 1880 Italianate Victorian Painted Lady in Claysville, Pennsylvania. 5bds, 4ba, $475K. For that price, this gorgeous home is a bargain.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So many original features are seen the moment you enter the hall. There's a beautiful newel post, a large stained glass window on the landing, and on the left you can see a bit of a fancy fireplace.
Tumblr media
The first sitting room has a lovely carved fireplace.
Tumblr media
The millwork in this home is amazing.
Tumblr media
The fireplace that was glimpsed from the hallway is in this sitting room.
Tumblr media
The dining room looks like a step back in time.
Tumblr media
This is a good kitchen reno. They chose vintage-y cabinets with wood that matches the rest of the house.
Tumblr media
Pretty tile backsplash and although it's more of a galley kitchen, it's pretty big.
Tumblr media
At the other end of the kitchen is a nicely sized everyday dining area, plus a counter with stools.
Tumblr media
The stairway features a gracefully curving rail.
Tumblr media
The landing is beautiful.

I love this little pink 1884 house in Lynchburg, Virginia so much, but several people in my group think it's an appalling mess, and they ruined it for me. 2bds, 1ba $215K.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I liked the way they preserved the worn original floors, the exposed brick and fireplace. If anything, I think that the perfect white walls don't fit the look.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at the backsplash. That is so cool. I would do something to make the walls match better and do a faux finish on the sink cabinet.
Tumblr media
They must've found that old yellow cabinet in the house.
Tumblr media
I guess this room off the kitchen could be a dining room or family room. Looka the little door.
Tumblr media
I would've picked a different tile, but it's not too bad.
Tumblr media
Check out that tub. Kind of awkward to get into.
Tumblr media
The 2nd fl. I wonder if they found the house like and just preserved the wood but replaced the walls.
Tumblr media
The primary bedroom has the original fireplace.
Tumblr media
Look at that old brick.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This room is so cute. Love the pale pink and the light fixture.
Tumblr media
They built a large new deck on the side and back of the house.
Tumblr media
The yard is deep and would be great with some landscaping. There's a cute shed, too.
Tumblr media
Has such a pretty porch and a place for flower beds. This house could be like a fairy tale cottage.

She's a beautiful 1900 Victorian in Fall River, KS, but she needs a little work (The front porch is being held up by cinder blocks). However, at only $125K, the work can be done over time while you live in the 3bd, 2ba beauty.
Tumblr media
The outside is beautifully painted, so you have a gorgeous home right away. Look at the wonderful lemonade porch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Enter a huge hall with an original staircase, new tin ceiling and fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at the cute corner fireplace in the reception room. Looks like the cabinet is a built-in.
Tumblr media
Large sitting room with fireplace. This home can be gorgeous, just by making the walls more lively.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Huge dining room. You can have a banquet in here. Nice stained glass window and I like the old brick chimney in the corner. The ceilings look like they've been covered with painted plywood, so they need redoing, but the floors are new.
Tumblr media
My favorite. The perfect vintage kitchen. Love it so much. The original drainboard sink is here. The cabinetry is perfection.
Tumblr media
Original Victorian service stairs and a vintage fridge.
Tumblr media
Check out that stove and the exhaust hood. I wonder if they would leave the Hoosier cabinet.
Tumblr media
Vintage bath off the kitchen.
Tumblr media
The laundry room was likely the pantry. (Note that the real fridge is in here.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Big, bright, upstairs landing. The French heat stove is wonderful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Upstairs is a spacious principal bedroom with lots of windows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They've been working on this bedroom. Looks like they sanded the floor and put up drywall.
Tumblr media
They're prepping the plaster walls in this room.
Tumblr media
Beautiful 2nd fl. terrace.
Tumblr media
The back porch can be fabulous, all fixed up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The furnace looks new, what's all the ash, though, it doesn't run on coal does it? They don't mention the heat in the descr.
Tumblr media
Oh, the roof is new.
Tumblr media
Closeup of the paint details.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What a great yard- love the tire swing.
Tumblr media
1 acre lot.

I first posted this 1947 art deco home in Baltimore, Maryland about 3 yrs. ago and the 2bd, 1.5ba house just sold for $239K.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The living room has glass block, curved walls and a fireplace wall, all original.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The living room flows into the dining room to reveal the other side of the double-sided fireplace. Some of the furniture was included in the sale.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The wall shelving is perfect for a tea pot collection or something of similar size.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bedroom #1 has cool cowboy wallpaper that was very popular for little boys rooms.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The blue bathroom sink is definitely retro.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bedroom #2 is small, and appears to be a pass thru to the kitchen and 1/2 bath.
Tumblr media
The 1/2 bath has a stainless sink with baseball faucet handles. Not sure if the suitcases are decorative or for storage.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen has original metal cabinets and linoleum floors.
Tumblr media
A kitchen table fits in this pantry area.
Tumblr media
I don't know why there's a sink, stove and fridge in here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Small sun porch in the back. This home does need work and seems like it's been slowly deteriorating due to neglect.
Tumblr media
There's a patio in the back. What's going on with the roof? It looks like the brick deteriorated and they just painted over it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The yard is dirt, so it will need some landscaping.
Tumblr media
Lake Montebello is across the road.
Tumblr media
Before they repainted it green it was yellow.
