Grand stone 1891 stone rowhouse in Chicago, Illinois has 7bds, 6ba, $1.990M. The house has a feature that is not mentioned in the real estate description. In fact, they're probably not even aware of it, but a witch noticed it.

The home has been updated, and the original wood was not painted. The floors were done and it's possible that the wood was refinished. Look at this huge hall rack with a beveled mirror and storage bench.

Sitting room #1 is spacious.

Sitting room #2 was painted gray and staged with modern furniture.

The entrance is massive and has two large built-in benches.

I wish the stager hadn't chosen such modern furniture. It's detracting from the beautiful antique millwork, like the carved doorways, built-ins and fireplaces.

They show the rooms furnished and unfurnished. At least empty, you can see the details.

The built-in in this library/den is a stunning piece.

The butler's pantry has wonderful original cabinets and updated counters and backsplash.

The kitchen was updated, and at least the cabinets match the original wood.

Very spacious primary bedroom has a full sitting area in the alcove and a fireplace.

They completely renovated the large bath.

The bedrooms in this home are all spacious.

Another modern bath.

The basement was renovated for entertaining. It has a kitchen of its own and a dining room.

It also has a long stone bar.

And, there's also a huge rec room.

This half would be a great game room.

Then we come to the feature no one else noticed. There are witchcraft supplies on the floor, but someone sealed off a passage. I would have to knock it down and see what they sealed up in there.

There's another bath on the main floor.

And, a sunporch with a small yard. It's a 4,500 sq. ft. lot.

When I saw "Poor Things" I knew I had to make something inspired by its beautiful aesthetic, so here's my humble tribute!

This stone 1893 Victorian in Ambler, Pennsylvania has been renovated and is now mostly 50 shades of gray, b/c even owners of historic homes feel that it's the thing to do b/c that's what buyers want. I think it can be fixed with some paint, though, so take a look at this 6bd 4ba home that's listed for $1.3M.

Interestingly, the entrance to the home is directly into a large sitting area, and the stairs are further back. I suspect that a wall was taken down to open it up, especially since there's a support beam across the ceiling.

The sitting room has been given a black trim with gray walls. I suspect that more modern, thin molding was put up along the ceiling.

The curvature of the walls in this home are wonderful. The formal dining room has the original wainscoting and lighting.

The renovated kitchen.

This casual dining room looks like it may be a converted porch.

On to the upper floor, there are a few hallways, b/c it's a large home.

At the end of the hall is a home office.

Not sure if this is the main bd, but it has an added storage chest and an en-suite.

This bd is being used as a home gym.

These stairs lead to the finished attic.

There's a living room with a kitchenette up here.

I don't know what this is- it must be one of the turrets, but I'm not sure what you do in here.

There's a bedroom.

And this larger bd has room for a sitting area.

There's also bath.

Down in the basement is something that looks like it may have been an original source of heat. You can see that it hasn't been used in ages.

Outside is a porte cochère so you can pull the car in and enter the side door w/o getting wet in the rain.

Plus, there's a large carriage house that has potential.

What finer place for a gardener to live than along Princes Street in Edinburgh. No morning commute - just walk out the door to work!
