I thought that this 1882 Victorian in Oakland, Maryland was going to be amazing, b/c the exterior looks so nice, but the 7bd, 3ba home was done by a flipper who either ran out of money or just said "screw it." Asking $300K. The buyer will have to finish the house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They put a lot of money into the exterior, but gave up on some of the interior. They didn't even dust the stairs.
Tumblr media
They left some original features, which is a good thing, like this fireplace, and it's the only one. They also went with the popular gray color scheme.
Tumblr media
The bath got a modular shower, a new pedestal sink, and drywall.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen redo- typical flipper white shaker cabinets. The fridge fits, so why the board on the side?
Tumblr media
Those would be the original service stairs on the left.
Tumblr media
I'm so confused, but I think that this is the dining room.
Tumblr media
This is a horror. They gave up on the floor, didn't refinish the stairs and put up gray paneling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The bedrooms are all gray and the floors are in various conditions.
Tumblr media
This looks like a bath and hallway to the attic.
Tumblr media
New bath.
Tumblr media
The rest of the money went to finishing the attic.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's huge and the best space in the house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Love the turret room.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There's a full bath up here, too.
Tumblr media
The stairs will need some sort of protective finish.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The patio needs some work and the garden is overgrown, but there's a brick barbecue. Can't tell if it's useable.
Tumblr media
It's a large house for the price.
Tumblr media
He put on a new roof that must've cost several thousand. The lot is .04 acre.

The Victorian
As always, the full video tour can be found below!
Finally, let's close out this incredible location by taking a look at a few photos from the ground floor, along with the incredible staircase!
Sitting on 112 acres, the original farm property dates back to the mid to late 19th century. While the Victorian house itself and original barn were built in the early 1900s.
The home had two towers, one on the front of the building and one on the west side of the house. During a time of neglect, the west side tower had began to pull away from the house and had to be removed. The owners at the time also removed all of the brick and added siding as a replacement.
In the early 1930s, the original barn burnt to the ground in a devastating fire. The owner at the time was later charged with arson. He thought that if the barn burned down, he could use the proceeds from the insurance claim to pay off the mortgage. A replacement barn was built years later and still sits on the property to this day.
Several years ago the property was sold to a development company and the buildings have sat abandoned and decaying ever since.
Unfortunately, the house is not protected under the heritage act and it will almost certainly be demolished in the future when the land is redeveloped.

Iris shared a few photos of this beautiful Plattsburg, New York Victorian home that they got for pretty cheap….probably because of its history as a funeral home for almost 50 years. The embalming room and casket lift are still part of the house, and all the bedrooms were originally used as showing rooms. Knowing that there’ve been thousands of dead bodies in here would creep out most people, but as a mortuary student Iris fell in love with it the first time they saw it.
Tumblr media
Here's Iris sitting in the entrance hall. How gorgeous is this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
How inexpensive could this have been? Look. It has an Inglenook in the grand hall.
Tumblr media
It's pristine.
Tumblr media
The sitting room. It looks like it may have come with the furniture. That fireplace and the sideboard are beautiful.
Tumblr media
The dining room has an exposed wall of brick.
Tumblr media
So, this bedroom was a viewing room?
Tumblr media
This is the old lift.
Tumblr media
Basement embalming room.

Updates: Progress on the bathroom floor.

"Something weird happened in the morgue under my house the other night…" It's not specified what, but gee, this looks creepy.
Tumblr media
"I saw like .00000001 of an inch of white sticking out behind an old mercury thermostat still in the wall. I took it down (carefully) and found THIS! ORIGINAL WALLPAPER!" What a wonderful experience, isn't it?

The Victorian
You can see the new video here!
Let's start out this new spot by having a look at some exterior views of the abandoned farm!
Sitting on 112 acres, the original farm property dates back to the mid to late 19th century. While the Victorian house itself and original barn were built in the early 1900s.
The home had two towers, one on the front of the building and one on the west side of the house. During a time of neglect, the west side tower had began to pull away from the house and had to be removed. The owners at the time also removed all of the brick and added siding as a replacement.
In the early 1930s, the original barn burnt to the ground in a devastating fire. The owner at the time was later charged with arson. He thought that if the barn burned down, he could use the proceeds from the insurance claim to pay off the mortgage. A replacement barn was built years later and still sits on the property to this day.
Several years ago the property was sold to a development company and the buildings have sat abandoned and decaying ever since.

Since 2019, I've been sending out monthly postcards to my Patreon Pen Pals tier. These simple ones from 2020 have a special place in my heart. I love drawing houses. Wait, why don't I draw more houses??
I'm going live in a few minutes on +wi+ch. Maybe I'll draw some houses!!
