Love this cute, colorful 1915 home in Victoria, BC, Canada, but it's so overpriced, b/c Canadian home prices have also gone way off the rails. 3bds, 2ba, $1.1M.
Look at how cute it is. I thought maybe for that price it came furnished, but the description doesn't mention anything. They used gloss paint on the walls so you can see the rough plaster.
I must say that the red kitchen is huge and has some original cabinets. I wonder if they'll leave some of the free-standing pieces. They're not showing a closeup of the blue cabinets, which are clearly DIY. I wonder why.
They've got a little vintage bath here. Yes, I can see the blue faux finish a little better here. Not what I'd expect in a $1.1M home. It also looks like the counter is just covered in contact paper, or some sort of board.
So, here we have a family room that matches the living room.
The primary bedroom. Nice. What you'd typically expect in a small Victorian.
In bedroom #2 they're probably leaving the armoire, b/c it doesn't have a closet.
And, bedroom #3 is very nice, as well. Wow, though, painted white floors throughout. Everyone will have to remove their shoes at the front door. Okay, this is what I think: The home is rough, hardly any improvements were ever made except fresh paint and staging to detract from the fact that you're getting a house that's worth less than $400k, at the end of the day.
Now, this photo shows the large yard with some sort of plastic down, probably to tame the weeds.
This photo shows the plants and trees coming up thru some sort of flooring. I'm confused.
The front of the home has lots of foliage for privacy and shade. Cute picket fence.
Lovely view from the porch.

She's a beauty all year long. 1880 Victorian in perfect condition in Quincy, Illinois has 4bds, 3ba, and is a buy at $589K.
Small foyer before you enter the hall.
The entrance hall- that newel post!
The home features quality craftsmanship- butternut, walnut and oak woods adorn the entire home, floor to ceiling.
Reception room with original carved fireplace.
The sitting room also has the same beautiful fireplace. I like this dark, broody room, it looks like Dark Academia.
Beautiful Victorian reproduction wallpaper.
Lovely rosy dining room can accommodate a large group of people.
Even though I usually don't like modern kitchens in Victorians, this is beautiful, and the cabinetry is very high end.
Love the satin finish, the deep green/gray color, and dark counters against the white tile.
Large laundry/mud room off the kitchen.
Great vintage bath remodel.
Very large bedroom is the primary. Double pocket doors open to a large office.
Nice smaller room.
Lovely guest room.
The cozy 4th bedroom.

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.
Greeted by a black staircase with an attractive black & white runner. The walls are a sophisticated, moody deep green with black trim.
Cozy and formal navy blue living room. But, there are whimsical touches, such as the pencil drawing over the fireplace.
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.
Love this feature- windows open from the kitchen to the dining room.
The kitchen is fabulous. Trendy forest green cabinetry and a pink ceiling with a built-in matching pink cabinet.
The kitchen opens to a breezeway that leads to the patio.
Another bit of fun on the stairs - a framed Dracula poster.
Upstairs is a tranquil deep green and black main bedroom.
Beautifully updated bath with deep green subway tile and white mosaics.
A sophisticated nursery in deep blue and black with a stunning fireplace.
These beautiful stairs lead to the attic guest room.
The guest room has been remodeled with two big skylights and window seats, plus a sink.
Patio with stunning gardens.
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.
The entrance to the home is so pretty, I love informal gardens.
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.
Lovely dining room. The vintage fixture above fits perfectly. It's a simple home, no need for a fancy chandelier.
The kitchen has just enough modernization and those floors!
The simple cabinets and worn finish make it look as if they might be original.
Original hearth, but I wonder if they put a wall over the original fireplace.
This is a beautiful room with the little turret-like bumpout.
They are focusing on the fireplaces in the home. Maybe this is a bedroom
And, this room is lined with wide plank knotty pine, although I suspect that it's fairly recent.
Nice rounded railings and stairs.
Lovely light-filled bedroom.
Empty room modernized for a gallery.
Wow, look at the studio.
Photo of the whole home. It's pretty big for the price.
Two other entrances. This home also has a Mansard roof and 2 acres of land.

Loving this 1900 purple home in Gretna, LA. 3bds, 3ba, $475K.
Enter directly into the spacious living room.
They took the wall down in the sitting room, but the double-sided fireplace is still there and it's beautiful. Love the stick walls and the colors.
Lovely dining room also has a fireplace.
The remod is cute. The blue and white is crisp and attractive, plus I like the vintage looking floor tile.
What a cheery kitchen.
This is nice. The colors in the principal bedroom are perfection.
Bathroom with pretty mint green tile and a vintage sink.
Cute space for an office.
Bedroom that isn't being used.
Another beautiful bath. Love the pedestal sink.
Smallest bedroom looks like a guest space and it has its own bath.
Very nice shower room.
I didn't expect a pool. What a great yard.

Stunning 1880 Italianate Victorian Painted Lady in Claysville, Pennsylvania. 5bds, 4ba, $475K. For that price, this gorgeous home is a bargain.
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.
The first sitting room has a lovely carved fireplace.
The millwork in this home is amazing.
The fireplace that was glimpsed from the hallway is in this sitting room.
The dining room looks like a step back in time.
This is a good kitchen reno. They chose vintage-y cabinets with wood that matches the rest of the house.
Pretty tile backsplash and although it's more of a galley kitchen, it's pretty big.
At the other end of the kitchen is a nicely sized everyday dining area, plus a counter with stools.
The stairway features a gracefully curving rail.
The landing is beautiful.
This bedroom has a fireplace and a little ivy mural.
This bath is professionally painted and has a nice reproduction tub and sink.
The primary bedroom is elegant.
Amazing primary en-suite has a copper tub, Victorian water tank toilet and a repro Victorian shower. A sink cabinet was made from an antique dresser.
Another pretty room and look at the mirror over the sinks.
It also has an etched glass door on the shower and a jetted soaker tub.
The hallways are so pretty.
In the back of the house is a carport, a large wraparound porch, and look at the pattern on the roof, plus the tower. This home is gorgeous.

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.
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.
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.
They must've found that old yellow cabinet in the house.
I guess this room off the kitchen could be a dining room or family room. Looka the little door.
I would've picked a different tile, but it's not too bad.
Check out that tub. Kind of awkward to get into.
The 2nd fl. I wonder if they found the house like and just preserved the wood but replaced the walls.
The primary bedroom has the original fireplace.
Look at that old brick.
This room is so cute. Love the pale pink and the light fixture.
They built a large new deck on the side and back of the house.
The yard is deep and would be great with some landscaping. There's a cute shed, too.
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.
The outside is beautifully painted, so you have a gorgeous home right away. Look at the wonderful lemonade porch.
Enter a huge hall with an original staircase, new tin ceiling and fireplace.
Look at the cute corner fireplace in the reception room. Looks like the cabinet is a built-in.
Large sitting room with fireplace. This home can be gorgeous, just by making the walls more lively.
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.
My favorite. The perfect vintage kitchen. Love it so much. The original drainboard sink is here. The cabinetry is perfection.
Original Victorian service stairs and a vintage fridge.
Check out that stove and the exhaust hood. I wonder if they would leave the Hoosier cabinet.
Vintage bath off the kitchen.
The laundry room was likely the pantry. (Note that the real fridge is in here.)
Big, bright, upstairs landing. The French heat stove is wonderful.
Upstairs is a spacious principal bedroom with lots of windows.
They've been working on this bedroom. Looks like they sanded the floor and put up drywall.
They're prepping the plaster walls in this room.
Beautiful 2nd fl. terrace.
The back porch can be fabulous, all fixed up.
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.
Oh, the roof is new.
Closeup of the paint details.
What a great yard- love the tire swing.
1 acre lot.
