What a good price for this 1890 pink quartz home in Sioux City, IA. 5bds, 4ba, 4,636 sq ft, $575k.

They decorated for Xmas and it looks so pretty. Beautiful foyer. Look at the wood- perfection.

Stunning entrance hall. Notice the intricate carving on the newel post.

The keeping room is so lovely. That fireplace is a beauty. Stained glass windows and gorgeous molding complete the look.

The sitting room is so beautiful, and I actually love the draperies. Lovely corner fireplace.

Adorable 1/2 bath. That little pedestal sink is so cute and doesn't overwhelm the room.

Beautiful formal dining room is right outside the kitchen.

The kitchen remodel is spot on. The wood cabinetry matches the house perfectly and I like their choice of counters.

I love this library. Look at the wonderful ladder.

The bedrooms are nice, but nothing special. They would be nicer with more decor.

I like the size of the rooms.

Nice linen closet in the hallway.

Large half bath has another beautiful sink.

This is a large 2 room suite, so it must be the primary bedroom.

Very nice bath reno. Love the shower room, vintage tile and tub.

It looks like the bedroom in the finished attic may either be used as the primary or a guest room.

Beautifully finished family room with a kitchenette.

There's an additional bedroom up here, also.

Plus, a modern shower room.

Look at the great workroom/garage.

The porch is so beautiful

What a gorgeous home for less than $600k. Lot measures .72 acre.

1st House: The Helm This is where your spiritual energy and identity take the spotlight. The 1st House governs your appearance, personality, and vitality—the essence of how you project yourself to the world. It’s your steez, your approach to life, and the first impression you make on others. The 1st House is all about beginnings, the mask you may unknowingly wear, and how you come to know yourself on a deep authentic level. The captain of this ship is the ruling planet of the zodiac sign residing there.

2nd House: Gate of Hades Your values, self-esteem, and ability to attract wealth are all tied to the 2nd House. This is where your personal resources, possessions, and financial matters come into play. The foods you eat, your saving and spending habits, and your sense of self-worth are all part of this house. It’s where your style and material wealth are rooted, reflecting how you value yourself and what you own. This house represents how you sustain for yourself, how you support all that the first house needs of you to be who you are.

3rd House: Goddess The 3rd House is the domain of communication, early education, and the mind. It governs how you gather and process information, your intellect, and your interactions within your community. This house also encompasses your relationships with siblings, short travels, and technical skills. It’s the space where your to-do list and daily mental activities take shape.

4th House: Subterranean Deeply connected to your roots, the 4th House represents your home, heritage, and ancestry. It’s where your inner life and sense of security are nurtured, influenced by your upbringing and relationship with your parents—especially the mother. This house also relates to land, generational gifts, and knowledge passed down through the family. It’s a space of femininity and the feminine energies in your life. This is the lowest point of the birth chart and can be fairly private and personal-as opposed to the 10th house. It holds up the rest of the chart and is incredibly important in terms of learning about our sense of security/stability emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

5th House: Good Fortune Joy, creativity, and self-expression flourish in the 5th House. This is where you experience the pleasures of life—love affairs, children, art, and entertainment. It’s the house of flirtation, play, and drama, where your passions come to life. The 5th House also governs leisure activities, fertility, and the pursuit of happiness through creative endeavors. A sense of nostalgia lives here too.

6th House: Bad Fortune The 6th House deals with work, health, and daily routines. It’s the space of labor, servitude, and the duties that never seem to end. This house also governs how you care for your body, deal with illness and injury, and interact with employees or pets. It’s where the unexpected challenges in life arise, requiring your attention and resilience. Look here for understanding on what great works you may find yourself committing to.

7th House: Setting Place Relationships take center stage in the 7th House. This is where you finally begin to truly engage with others, forming long-term commitments, whether in marriage, partnerships, or friendships. It’s the house of open enemies, where you face the other in life. The 7th House also governs relaxation, romance, and the deep bonds that define your connections with others.

8th House: The Idle Place Death, transformation, and shared resources are key themes in the 8th House. It’s where you confront karma, contracts, and generational lessons. This house also deals with loans, debts, and the deep psyche—the mysteries and fears that lie beneath the surface. The 8th House is a place of soul material, where you explore the unseen and the unknown. Here, you face all consequences-positive & negative- of the 7th house and the relationships, contracts, and potential enemies made there. This is the house of others esteem of you, opposite of the 2nd.

9th House: House of God The 9th House is your portal to higher knowledge, philosophy, and spiritual exploration. It governs your worldview, ethics, and the pursuit of truth through study, travel, and discovery. This house is where you connect with religion, spirituality, and the higher mind, expanding your understanding of the world and your place in it.

10th House: House of Praxis Your public life, reputation, and career are shaped by the 10th House. It’s where you strive for honor, recognition, and achievements that define your legacy. This house also relates to your relationships with authority figures, particularly the father, and how you navigate the public sphere. The 10th House is where your goals, fame, and business acumen are realized. Sitting at the very top of the chart, like the sun at noon high in the sky, all can see you here.

11th House: Good Spirits In the 11th House, your hopes, dreams, and social networks come to life. This house governs your friendships, group affiliations, and the communities you belong to. It’s where you connect with humanity, receive sudden blessings, and find support in your aspirations. The 11th House is also associated with gifts, riches, and the imagination needed to dream big.

12th House: Bad Spirits The 12th House is a place of retreat, isolation, and self-undoing. It’s where you confront your inner shadows, secrets, and hidden enemies. This house governs institutions, mental health, and the need for solitude or seclusion. It’s also a space of psychological development, where you deal with endings, sickness, and the unseen forces that shape your life journey. This house is in a blind spot to the first house of Self and that is why we can be blind to the very things that reside here. Its not so much that these things seek out to destroy you but any area of your life your are deeply unaware of can come back and disorientate you from who you believe yourself to be.

This is interesting. A tiny, adorable, 1893 Victorian cottage, wedged between buildings in San Francisco, CA was remodeled to look much larger inside. It has 3bds, 3ba, they are not giving the square footage of the house, nor the dimensions of any of the rooms (hmmm...), but the price is $2.385m. It's very skillfully done, but not $2m skillful. Take a look at this little house completely squeezed in between two buildings.

The mini Victorian has a narrow center hall with a sitting room off to the side, just like a large Victorian. It even has pocket doors.

The fireplace is custom made, so I don't think that these are original tiles.

The pocket doors open to a bedroom.

Across the hall from the sitting room there's a cute home office.

Then 3 stairs go down to a very nice dining room. It's so cozy, but not meant for a large dinner party. They installed modern wainscoting, which is what you find in a Victorian dining room.

Tiles similar to the living room fireplace grace the surround.

The kitchen is surprisingly roomy and has lots of storage.

The 2nd bedroom is a good size.

The baths are small 3pc. style.

The primary bedroom looks like a new addition and features a beautiful window, a vaulted wood ceiling, and a fireplace.

It also has a nice walk-in closet.

And, an ensuite shower room.

Here's a nice room. It looks like an art studio.

There's a sizeable home gym in the basement.

Plus a utility room.

There's a pretty big garage, too.

I like the porch in front of the house.

There's a surprisingly nice yard and garden in the back. A couple of decks and a patio on several levels provide plenty space to relax.

3,250 sq ft lot
