Thanks to needleslace for sending this lovely 1939 brick cottage in Jackson, Mississippi. 4bds, 3ba, $229,900. There are some very interesting things inside, (as well as the peace sign on the door), but it's priced so right, it has a lot of potential. Firstly, I love ivy-covered cottages, but the bushes need trimming and the weeds need pulling.
This house is in desperate need of staging. The round entrance hall can be absolutely stunning, and it's just "there," nothing special.
There's a nice big living room with double doors to a sunporch and a beautiful fireplace. Clouds are very hard to paint and the ceiling looks like an amateur just smeared some paint swirls up there.
Sadly, the ceiling artist also hit the fireplace, but that can be painted over.
Fancy grilles were added to the doors, but it's a cottage, so I like the plain window panes.
This is the porch that the doors open to. It needs staging to look more appealing. It's so dark, too.
Some people don't like galley kitchens, but they're named after ships kitchens and were developed b/c the layout is very efficient. I think it could use a little brighter backsplash.
There's a counter dividing the dining room which is spacious and has pretty, built-in corner china cabinets. That big window is beautiful- it needs a beautiful garden to look at.
Love this arched doorway and curving stairs together.
The guest powder room tile looks like a DIY.
Beautiful round landing. and arched doors. Love how you can see the chandelier.
I don't know if this is the primary bedroom, but I think it is. If it's not, then they didn't include it in the photos.
Because of the date and style of the house, original bathrooms will be small, standard 3pc.
This looks like an attic bedroom and buyers will see that it's hot up here b/c there are 3 fans lined up.
The best part of the house is the castle staircase to the basement. Look, it's so recent, they haven't even cleaned the mortar off the floor.
It looks like they're about to put new tiles on the hearth of this great fireplace.
Nice big finished basement.
And, there's a newer bath down here, too.
For the price, this house has so much potential. The brick patio needs a weeding, and it will be beautiful.
8,712 sq ft lot needs some work, but it can be a great yard and garden.

What’s better than being a lighthouse keeper? A house that looks and feels like a lighthouse. This stone cottage was built in 1906, but has been completely renovated, in Orono, Minnesota. It has 3bd 3ba and is listed for $1.950.
Large living room with a modern fireplace- love the vaulted ceilings- plus doors to the outside and a view of Stubbs Bay.
Look at the this large rec room- love the matching pool table.
Dining area with a built-in sideboard and a view of the outdoors.
Beautiful, light-filled kitchen.
TV room with a kitchenette.
The main bd. is very large and has a wonderful sitting area with a view of the bay. Look at the original floors.
Modern en-suite features a vintage tub.
The 2 secondary bedrooms.
This is a fancy shower, but the sliding doors are so hard to clean, I’d rather have regular tile one.
Jetted soaker tub.
Beautiful bonus space with a view on the upper floor.
And, now we’re at the top of the “lighthouse” tower. It’s a great view, and is set up as a small exercise space.
The middle level is a small office.
The lower lever has a sitting area.
How cool is this at night?
But, this... A she shed on the bank of the bay. If you’re a writer, can you imagine using this space?
So beautiful.
The private drive to the property.
The home is on 1.34 beautiful acres.
