Colorful, art-filled 1973 home in West Bloomfield, MI has 3bds, 3ba, 3,980sqft, $599k + $15/mo HOA.
Tumblr media
Even without all the artwork, I think that this house would still be colorful and ready to decorate.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It has a nice fireplace.
Tumblr media
Does it have sort of a tropical vibe? This very cheerful.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's an open concept main living area with sliders to the garden.
Tumblr media
I'm not sure where this wall is, but I like it.
Tumblr media
Interesting wall with a window into the kitchen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen is a sleek, classic MCM with a black floor, original cabinetry and black counters.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, up on the 2nd level we have the bedrooms.
Tumblr media
This must be the primary bedroom.
Tumblr media
It's so full of art and color, that I'm getting confused. This must be bd. #2.
Tumblr media
Modern black bath with glass block.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This bedroom has an ensuite.
Tumblr media
So much art, it's hard to even notice you're in a bathroom.
Tumblr media
Then, we have a family room.
Tumblr media
The 3rd bath. At first glance, I thought there was something furry in the sink.
Tumblr media
The gardens are incredible for Michigan b/c they get very cold winters.
Tumblr media
It's gorgeous, but like where I live, there's so little time to enjoy it.
Tumblr media
There's art throughout the grounds.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are lots of paths to walk.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
0.4 acre lot. I wonder if they'll leave the outdoor art.

What a great price for "The Castle on the Glen," a beautiful 1927 English Tudor in Elmira, NY. 3bds, 3ba, 1,760sqft, $295k. So, there are all the standard real estate listing photos on Zillow, but I found it on Airbnb, all decorated w/a castle theme for short term vac. rentals, so I'm posting some of the photos of how they had it decorated.
Tumblr media
The living room and fireplace.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chess area in front of the fireplace and a piano by the stairs.
Tumblr media
Reading corner.
Tumblr media
Little jousters.
Tumblr media
The dining room has a beamed archway, wainscoting, and a plate ledge.
Tumblr media
A typically Tudor kitchen with tiled counters. The cabinets are painted white, but could've more likely have been knotty pine.
Tumblr media
Small half bath on the main floor.
Tumblr media
Stairs in the living room.
Tumblr media
Going up the stairs, that may be a key lock box.
Tumblr media
Up on the 2nd level and the typically thick Tudor style railing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here in the turret area, they had vintage dress-up costumes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chainmail shirt and knight gloves.
Tumblr media
Every castle has to have a crown.
Tumblr media
This is known as "The Red Room."
Tumblr media
The "Purple Room."
Tumblr media
And, "The Blue Room."
Tumblr media
Amenities in the full bath.
Tumblr media
Large basement with a headless flapper.
Tumblr media
Lovely footbridge.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Metal bistro set outside overlooking the "moat." (It's actually a stream.)
Tumblr media
Nice large deck on the garage roof.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fairy gardens on the .36 acre grounds.

This 1977 brick house in Hartford, CT may look like an ordinary suburban home, but it lets you know that it isn't.
Tumblr media
It's not like your average mid-century- you can tell by the renovated entrance hall, here. 3bds, 3ba, 2,338sqft, $320k. Take a look at this completely remodeled home.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As we saw, the double doors open to this very different entrance hall. (I hate when they put gray w/the old beige flooring,
Tumblr media
So, they put tile up on the walls, painted the stairs black, and painted the railing, removed the spindles and installed wire.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Coming up to the living/dining room. The railing wires are so crooked.
Tumblr media
Oh, no, they did not paint the tiles turquoise. Isn't that going to chip?
Tumblr media
The kitchen's a little weird- what's up w/the fireplace in the corner? I see that they installed a wine cooler. So, this dark middle section must be the original tile.
Tumblr media
Something's kind of off, here. The fireplace doesn't seem to fit in.
Tumblr media
This is very confusing. So, they painted the cabinets black and installed pot lights in the soffit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The primary bedroom is directly off the dining area.
Tumblr media
Remodeled bath now includes a bidet and a modern sink.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This room with double doors is also off the main living area. Did they take down some walls and put up new ones? Could this be a family room?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another remodeled bath. Looks like all the baths got bidets.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The bedroom has an optical illusion mural.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back down on the ground floor, we have a half bath. The mirror gives the illusion of infinite jingly bell lights. Whoever installed the sink didn't line up the pedestal correctly, though.
Tumblr media
And, here's your rec room complete with fireplace, mirrored ceiling, pool table and hot tub.
Tumblr media
They were right, this house is not like the others.
Tumblr media
There's also a laundry room down here. I hope that's not mold.
Tumblr media
Utility room. Hmm.
Tumblr media
Yard with a deck and 2 patios on a 5,227.2sqft lot.

Submitted by cholgamer- death stairs in a home they were staging. Look at where the railing is. Maybe it's aesthetically undesirable to bring it down to the bottom?

The 1912 Grace Phillips Johnson Mansion in New Castle, PA is an example of a beautiful eclectic historic home. 11bds, 6ba, 9,537sqft, $688k (it's a bargain).
Tumblr media
Enter the large main hall and there's one of 16 fireplaces. Lovely wainscoting, crown moldings, and original stairs.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The huge sitting room has ceiling beams, a chandelier, and a triple sized window seat. On the far end of the room there's a fireplace with shelving that wraps around 4 walls.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
An actual small foyer opens to a sunroom that would make the perfect conservatory.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The spacious dining room has wainscoting, 2 built-ins, and a fireplace.
Tumblr media
Very large kitchen with nice cabinets and chef's appliances.
Tumblr media
It looks like the stained glass window in that door came from church architectural salvage. Wow, it's life-size.
Tumblr media
The family room has a wonderful stone fireplace and cabinets. This home can be stunning with the right decor.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And, look at this- a genuine marble library. Or, it could be like a museum for a collection. Even this room has a fireplace.
Tumblr media
Look at how interesting this is- a booth in the main hall. (You could sell tickets to your private museum downstairs.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The upstairs hall is so wide.
Tumblr media
There's a bed in here, but I don't think it's a bedroom. It looks like a sunroom.
Tumblr media
Look at the unusual fireplace, flat against the wall. The room's an interesting shape, has a large window seat and decorated ceilings.
Tumblr media
The bedrooms are all very large and each of the 16 fireplaces is different.
Tumblr media
One of 6 vintage baths. Look at how big it is.
Tumblr media
Most of the 11 bedrooms are not used as bedrooms. Look at the fireplace in this one. A sun porch is directly off this room, so it would be delightful as a bedroom.
Tumblr media
It would make a nice studio and even has a nice big closet for supplies.
Tumblr media
I don't think I've ever seen such wide halls in a house.
Tumblr media
Bedroom with yet another different style fireplace.
Tumblr media
This bedroom has its own ensuite.
Tumblr media
Outside there's a covered patio with a pavilion constructed of stone.
Tumblr media
This looks like it was a greenhouse at one time, but all that's left is the rusty metal frame.
Tumblr media
1.34 acre lot. And, there's also a 2 story carriage house on the property.

Holy Shit! My 1920 art carriage house in New York City, NY hasn't sold. The 5bd, 6ba 6,600sqft is pricey, $28m, but includes all the furnishings, all the art, and the Rolls Royce!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now, when we look at this house, we have to look at everything, b/c it's all included. Isn't this a fabulous living room? Wow, the huge paintings, leather sofas, sculptures, even the books on the table. Plus, I love that big glass window.
Tumblr media
Nice tile flooring. The art pieces alone must be worth a fortune, and that carved bench. I don't usually care for tapestry, but that one has cherubs. Love cherubs.
This home is relatively narrow, so it has lots of levels. The legs on this bench look gnarly.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The raven is very cool. The kitchen is an awkward setup. It looks more like a hall than a kitchen. Look at the big pots on the top shelf. For this kind of money, I don't really care for it, it's like an apt. kitchen.
Tumblr media
The dining area is nice, though.
Tumblr media
Doors to the patio on the stair landing.
Tumblr media
This is nice, and it looks very private.
Tumblr media
Then up here, they have a pool table.
Tumblr media
It looks like the primary bedroom takes up most of this floor. Look at the huge fireplace.
Tumblr media
Even the bathroom is filled with art.
Tumblr media
This bedroom has a large fireplace. It's spacious, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In addition to the patio, there's a beautiful rooftop deck.
Tumblr media
The home also features a sauna.
Tumblr media
Pull the Rolls into the garage and it looks like there's a rec room down here, also filled with art. You see up to the next level, too.

Check out "Hume Cloister," a 1929 Gothic Revival Mansion in Berkely, CA. 6bds, 8ba, 7.526sqft, $7.45m. It looked Mediterranean to me, on the outside, but it's definitely gothic on the inside.
Tumblr media
Look at the loggia. Now, that's gothic architecture. It's modeled after a 13th-century French monastery.
Tumblr media
This looks more like a gothic castle than anything we've seen lately.
Tumblr media
Enter a large foyer. The home has been restored over the last 7yrs., and they did an excellent job.
Tumblr media
The main sitting room is 2 stories high w/a mezzanine.
Tumblr media
This house is all stone, wood, and gothic arches.
Tumblr media
The mezzanine has that big arch fitted with wrought iron.
Tumblr media
Behind it they have an office area, but it looks messy thru the scrollwork.
Tumblr media
Look at this interesting lamp. The house is a combination of Gothic and very modern.
Tumblr media
The dining room has an intricately carved built-in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The kitchen is very big. Look at the Gothy design on the cabinet doors.
Tumblr media
Stairs are in a turret.
Tumblr media
The primary bedroom is pretty light b/c of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Tumblr media
This is different. The ensuite has the tub, made of wood slats, between the sinks.
Tumblr media
Very large shower room.
Tumblr media
This secondary bedroom is lovely. It also has doors to the garden.
Tumblr media
The bedrooms open to this area with a bridge over a pond.
Tumblr media
There's also a deck.
Tumblr media
Here, you can see the pond and 2 decks.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They have a large family room on the upper level.
Tumblr media
There's also a patio outside the family room.
Tumblr media
Nice little greenhouse.
Tumblr media
The large courtyard in the middle of the house.
Tumblr media
The view at sunset.
Tumblr media
0.71 acre lot.
