some pictures of my new old house

postalgriff · Jan 15, 2011

woooohooo......moved in Dec 29th. and loving it. Huge Victorian built in the 1880's 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms! Beautiful oak and cherry woodwork all through the house, thought I'd share a couple of pictures. I'm especially fond of the stained glass windows and the main floor fireplace. All original door knobs and hinges which I love. Also added a few pics of a lighted corner cabinet that my wife let me use for some of my favorite relics, saving some space for whats in my yard! Spring aint too far off now!!

W!! It's beautiful! I love the beauty of wood...it just glows in your new home, I just do not like it hidden with paint. Let's see 7 bedrooms & 9 bathrooms, I'll take the upstairs bedroom on the left.

I was thinking since there's so many rooms, I was looking for a "Finds" room...your display case is really nice. Is this gonna be a home or a bed & breakfast?

Awesome house J, like stepping back into time, love the old fireplace with carved stone! The stained glass is sweet, and so is all the woodwork. Check the basement for a crawlspace, bet there may be 100+ y.o. bottles/relics hiding. Congrats on the new home, hope I get a tour soon, can't wait to hear what you dig outa that yard! D

That fireplace is soooooo cool. I love the work on the door knob and strike. Very neat place. The display case fits right in with the house. Neato.
