1885 Victorian Historic Home

Filed in Design & Styling, Fixer Upper — May 4, 2024

The first time we toured this 130+ year old home it checked all of the boxes.

  • Dream Location? Check.
  • Larger then all other properties in the price point? Check.
  • Looks a little haunted? Check.
  • Long market time? Check.
  • Can be saved? Check. Check. Check.

With the right team, anything is possible.

  • Preserve architectural details where possible
