In The Loop

While I’m not thrilled with some of the wallpaper choices in this 1908 home in Toulon, Illinois, the price of only $289.9K makes it fixable. It’s a very unusual historic home. 

Look at how pretty and homey it is. 

The entrance hall is a bit tacky, but maybe if you just painted the wall a lighter pink or green, it would work.

Original pocket doors.

The light fixture in the sitting room looks original, and it has a nice corner fireplace.

This is a very large room that looks like a wall was removed. Love the transoms over the doors.

The kitchen is so unusual and as true to original as can be. 

I would have to ask if they would sell some of the pieces. They are superb.

How sweet is this old pantry?

I’ve never seen lights in the corners of beams. Plus, there’s a built-in cabinet. Very nice.

Lovely little office or craft room. This house has the transom open/closer mechanism, too. 

Pretty powder room.

Lovely sunroom. 

Nice window. You know, I bet a darker burgundy paint would tie in with that.

The home has 5 bds. 

Cool bathroom. It’s so full of light.

Bds. are a good size.

This bath’s a little funky w/the 70s tub.

4 car garage.

And, 1.38 acres of beautiful land.

So much potential- look at the rooftop deck.

今日も猛暑だったので、 涼みかたがた「未来のミライ」へ。 ネットでは厳しい意見も多いけど、 私は娘がクソガキだった頃思い出して楽しかったなぁ。
