Wow, look what they did to the Mansard roof on this 1880 Italianate Victorian in Montpelier, Vermont. The 3bds, 2.5ba home is no longer Victorian b/c it's been extensively renovated. $589K. Check this one out.
Tumblr media
Someone had a vision for this house. Remember, it's a Victorian and now the foyer has a used brick wall and knotty pine.
Tumblr media
The main living area is now open concept, but look at how small the living room portion is. Just two seats facing one another.
Tumblr media
Then they've got a farm dining table.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, finally a large modern rustic kitchen. No trace of Victoriana here, whatsoever.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have never seen anything like this. Why the hell would you take an Italianate Victorian and do this? This had to be the center hall where the original staircase was.
Tumblr media
This reno is disturbing. Look at those windows.
Tumblr media
Okay, that floor is a crime against humanity.
Tumblr media
What's the purpose of the claw foot tub at this point?
Tumblr media
Geez.
Tumblr media
I don't know what to say about these bedrooms.
Tumblr media
This one has a shower area behind some curtains.
Tumblr media
We've arrived up in the opened Mansard roof.
Tumblr media
It's now a rooftop sunroom.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The rooftop deck would be nice if this was a new house, but they completely destroyed a Victorian.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It probably looked something like this, but the Mansard roof is gone.
Tumblr media
And, this small rear portion is all that's left of it with modern windows and some sort of metal overhang.

I made social media accounts for sharing my journey fixing up an old Victorian house I bought for $100
If anyone would like to help fund this restoration project or if you could share this and get it out there I鈥檇 appreciate it.
This house is about 170 years old give or take a decade, truthfully it鈥檚 estimated to have been built between the 1830鈥檚-1850鈥檚. I want to see her make it to see 200 and many more years to come.
Historical homes and architecture; the restoration and preservation of historical homes are some of my passions. Historic homes being a particular special interest. This is my lifelong dream.
All donations will go towards the restoration and preservation of this beautiful historic Victorian home. The roof and foundation need repaired and the electrical needs to be updated (it鈥檚 still on knob and tube!). Anything extra will go toward redoing the bathrooms and kitchen which were already gutted before I purchased this house, as well as rebuilding the collapsed back porch. The back porch hasn鈥檛 collapsed because of any structural or foundational issues (all foundation issues are in the front corner of the house exclusively), it鈥檚 just collapsed due to wood rot.
Here are the links for anyone interested in following this journey.

Sad today. I think I'll buy some shoes. Also, longer term, a house.

I was so excited to see this 1892 Victorian b/c of the round turret. But, I am in shock over what they did to the home. I never expected this. Located in Goshen, New York, it has 5bds, 4.5ba, and they want $995K. I wouldn't give them $9.95. Look at how they completely stripped it of all character.
Tumblr media
There was no point in showing the center entrance hall, b/c it's been stripped of everything. Instead of 2 sitting rooms, there's a modern living room and a dining room across the hall.
Tumblr media
This was sitting room #1.
Tumblr media
And, here's the dining room, which was probably the reception room. Why did they leave the original exterior intact? What was the point? The should've put up vinyl siding.
Tumblr media
The original dining room was turned into a dinette, I guess. The windows. Wonder if that rectangular one was stained glass.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have never seen anything like this. Usually, they'll paint the original woodwork white, or leave a little something original. Every piece of millwork was removed.
Tumblr media
The new guest powder room.
Tumblr media
Oh, lord, whatever beautiful original railing there was has been replaced. They just gutted every single bit of Victoriana and left nothing. I wonder if they at least sold it to an architectural salvage company.
Tumblr media
I'm certain that they removed the fireplaces from the bedrooms. They even modernized the windows in the bump-out. Crown moldings are gone, everything's gone.
Tumblr media
Blech.
Tumblr media
There were probably lovely doors to a terrace, but they've been replaced by modern glass doors.
Tumblr media
The new, improved terrace. I'm picturing a quaint covered porch that might've been here.
Tumblr media
Modern bath.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They left a fireplace in the primary bedroom, but it's modernized and has a deep window in what was once the chimney.
Tumblr media
Could this be any more bland?
Tumblr media
This must be their version of a modern clawfoot tub.
Tumblr media
And, it's in the round turret that I was so excited about.
Tumblr media
Note that instead of allowing us to see right to the top, they constructed a weird frame for an overhead fixture and blocked it with a disk. They say that it has a turret- this is no longer a turret. I pictured brick walls and an amazing cozy little room, but now it's an angular tub room thanks to wall board and wallpaper.
Tumblr media
The bedrooms are a waste of time and so are the baths.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, we are in the finished attic on the 3rd level.
Tumblr media
There's nothing anyone can do to fix it. It's ruined. The corner lot is 0.4 acre.
