Across the road from the stained glass window of Sunday I spotted this wonderful old house and wondered why I had never noticed it and all the fabulous details along its eaves. (Enlarge to see this.) When I got home and googled it I realized that it had previously been covered in ivy which was lovely but it did hide a lot! It turns out that the house was built in 1890 as a mansion but over the decades had become a rooming house until the 1990s when it was restored to a single family dwelling and after being sold last year it is being gutted again and upgraded once more as the area has once again become highly desirable (and pricey)!
I found some interior shots from the sale info of a year ago here. It sure surprised me.
I bet it'll be a mansion again! It has good bones.
ReplyDeleteOh, only a bit more than $2 million. Petty cash, eh?
ReplyDeleteWow! I checked out the interior photos - what a classy building! And they're re-doing it again - I'd have left it! I checked out the street on Google maps too. This is the classiest building in the area, I think.
ReplyDeleteOh, this one is simply gorgeous! I would like this house.
ReplyDeleteIt's huge! And those interior shots showed a gorgeous house. How could one improve on that? A bit too much money for me, though. It is a unique structure, and those eaves are rather striking!
ReplyDeleteLooks like two different houses inside and out, will be a fabulous home for some wealthy individual.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful old home. The inside surprises me too, such modern furnishings, not sure I like that, but I did like the kitchen and back yard.
ReplyDeleteI could live in that master bedroom! But I would hang some photos on the wall. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous old house...
ReplyDeleteFantastic exterior and the interior is not at all what you would expect from the outside!
ReplyDeleteThe interior is a huge surprise and quite a delight for the lucky individuals who are able to afford a dream house such as this. I could live there!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic old house. I'd enjoy visiting here.
ReplyDeleteAn uncovered treasure for certain!

Wow! What a place, inside and out. So much for so little land space.
ReplyDeletetotally beautiful, what a surprising sight !
ReplyDeleteThe detail in the wood, the stone and the brick is just exquisite. The exterior belies the interior for sure.
ReplyDeleteA grand old house indeed.
ReplyDeleteGosh this is a beauty, how surprising is that interior, so light and spacious, I didn't expect that because the exterior is quite heavy and darkish. Thoroughly enjoyed having a peek inside, thanks Pat.
ReplyDeleteFabulous!
ReplyDeleteGASP! I want this house so much!!
ReplyDeleteI about choked on the price.
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS THIS HOME LOCATED ITS BEAUTIFUL
