OMG, what a bargain! A wonderful 1891 Gothic Victorian in Fond du Lac, WI for only $224,900! 5bds, 4ba, and you'll fall in love with it. Take a look at this gem. Just look at the architectural details on the exterior, and the rock out front w/the historic plaque. I'm so excited about this find. I'd like to have it repainted to emphasize the pretty gothic details and strip that stone foundation, then maybe clear coat it w/sealer. They just had the whole damned thing sprayed beige.
Lovely front porch.
The entrance hall is stunning with the rounded stairs, fireplace, and bench. All original.
And, that mural! Not to mention the stained glass window.
And, look at this- another mural on the next level.
Spacious sitting room off the entrance hall. Looks like those are pocket doors.
This siting/dining room combo is a huge space. Looks like they took down a wall.
I did not include the 'virtually staged' photos b/c the modern furniture they used is offensive.
The kitchen cabinetry is plain, but the color is right, so I could work with that. Looks like they left the cute phone and some furniture pieces.
There's a large original pantry style room with an original cabinet.
This is nice, the laundry is in here, also.
I think that these are backrooms, in the addition, rather than basement rooms, b/c of the windows.
Here's a nice little vintage half bath.
What a cute room- the blue built-in cabinet and the green tile on the fireplace. This could be anything, even a dining space.
Little fireplace in the bedroom isn't original but it's cute. This bedroom has an en-suite.
Original tub and some exposed brick in here. Very nice.
The 2nd fl. porch is so cute and it's enclosed.
Another large room. I like the windows and it's light, waiting to be decorated.
Nice bath. The tub is really original- look at the cracks. But, it still holds water.
Beautiful room. The bedrooms are surprisingly big.
Matching bath with another original tub.
Interesting enclosed back porch. There's some exposed brick, too.
A utility room.
The house is deceivingly large. Look at the size of the enclosed porch in the back. The house has been added onto at some point, but the original structure has a mansard roof. It's on a 10,454 sq ft lot, so it has plenty of outdoor space.

This 1879 Gothic Victorian is all original and it's amazing. Look at the carriage house, it's like a little gothic masterpiece. Located in Little Falls, New York, it has 8bds, 3ba, $800K.
Two heavy gothic doors open to reveal a central hall. Notice the tile floor.
The wood is pristine.
Can you imagine opening the door every night and walking into this hall? Look at the details on the newel post, the etched glass in the door.
Look at the fireplace in the reception room.
The details in this home are stunning. Look at the molding and floor.
I love the walls in the dining room. There are 2 different woods- the wainscoting is lighter than the fireplace and ceiling. Can you imagine some buyer coming in here, painting the walls gray and this wood white?
If this isn't a gothic fireplace I don't know what is.
This is nice, an enclosed porch.
Wow, the original stove is still in the kitchen. This home is incredible.
A stained glass window on the landing and two-toned wood "stripes" on the wainscoting.
The linen closets in the hall. I bet that's the original ladder the maids used.
Spacious bedroom with a wonderful fireplace.
All of the bedrooms are large. This one has an alcove.
And, this one has a typically Victorian sink.
This vintage bath! The tub is zinc.
Stairs to the 3rd level where they keep clothing.
More stairs to a 4th level.
They lead to this cool room at the top of the tower.
It's so Vintage up here. Look at the flocked wallpaper.
This bath is fantastic. That sink is clearly original.
Closeup of the carriage house.
Such detailed architecture.
The lot is .37 acre.
