Thanks to tafkarfanfic for sending the listing for the 1789 Jonathan Brooks House, a Dutch Colonial home in Medford, Massachusetts. It's on the National Register of Historic Places, and has 5bds, 1.5ba, & 6 fireplaces. Price cut $25K to $1.1M. I'm always suspicious when there's a price cut, but when I saw what they did to the inside, I understood why it's not selling.

Who is advising homeowners to modernize their beautiful historic homes, like this? That confounded gray and white. I think I'm in a modern apt. living room, here.

They left the fancy carved fireplace, but painted it white to minimize the pretty colonial details that don't fit in with the sleek contemporary look.

The dining room has a true, colonial fireplace wall.

I can't see the original cupboards b/c they've either been modernized to black or obscured. Notice that any beams in the ceilings were painted white, or removed.

Wait, I see a brick wall that's been painted black. I would go to the Home Depot and get gallons of Zip Strip and strip the hell out of these fireplaces.

If you're a purist, it's best that you just forget the kitchen and move on. It's a beautiful kitchen, but for new builds or more modern homes.

This home was built in the 1700s. There HAS to have been a cooking fireplace in here that they removed. I thought that they protected these historic homes from things like this.

Nice flagstone sun porch. (Did you know that the colonists were very into skylights?)

This is the half bath, which is nice to have, but 1 full bath for 5 bedrooms to share in a house that's $1.1M just won't cut it.

Something's off about the fireplace wall in the primary bedroom. The mirror is centered, but the fireplace isn't. I think that they should've left it plain b/c of the doors and cupboards.

This is odd. They must've built the narrow cabinet in the back so that they could have a place to put things, but then they awkwardly placed pedestal sinks in front of it.

Mini claw-foot tub and a modern built-in shower. That little closet must be an original feature.

There's a nice back yard with a shed.

And, the house itself is built on a fork in the road.

Cute remodeled 1899 Dutch Colonial in Enumclaw, Washington, has a bonus rental, too. It has 5bd 3.5ba and is listed for $625K.

I didn't expect this lovely entrance hall.

As you can see, they went w/the modern gray color scheme. I like the way they used plants, though.

The dining room is adorable with its built-in cabinet and DIY lighting.

Nice big kitchen. I like the plant cabinet- I wonder if that conveys. I would put a light backsplash up, though. Looks like the glass cabinet doors are etched, but you can't really see it against the dark background.

Very nice laundry area in the back mud room. I wonder if the lockers will convey.

In the upstairs hallway there's an alcove that fits a desk - very charming.

The main bedroom has a small en-suite bath. I would like to strip those doors b/c they're original with the glass doorknobs.

Both secondary bedrooms are spacious, but there's too much gray in here. Nothing that some paint wouldn't fix, though.

Here's the guest powder room, screaming for some pretty wallpaper.

Yay, a blue room. This is currently a playroom, but it's actually a bedroom.

The rental unit/guest house is attached to the garage.

It's like a studio apt. I don't know what that is on the bathroom floor, though, is it sand? Rough cement? The bathroom is just one big shower, apparently, and that's a shower curtain on the window.

The yard is big and has a full patio, fire pit, and above ground pool.

Nice neighborhood has a beautiful mountain view.
