Just saw that my lovely vampire's home sold. Beautiful 1874 brick Italianate home in Newcomerstown, OH has 4bds, 3ba, 3,289 sq ft, sold for $450K, which I thought was a bargain, but Zillow says it's worth $391,100 and I wonder why. Anyway, let's take another look and bid it a fond adieu.
Stunning double entrance doors. This home is also fully air conditioned.
Look at this. I can't see what's in that niche, but the mural is a little bit creepy.
This is definitely sophisticated Vampire elegance. When you open the doors, this is what you see- a splendid staircase flanked by 2 arched doorways.
How is this gorgeous home only $450K? Look at this sitting room. The walls, ceiling, fireplace. It's just stunning.
The walls and ceilings in the dining room are all wood. Gorgeous millwork. Love the chandeliers. And, look at the crooked candles in the antique candélabres.
Is this not gorgeous? And note the discreet door to the staff stairs.
I'm not thrilled w/their kitchen reno. It's too rustic and spread out.
The fridge is in the dining area. The cabinets, however are adorable w/the petite design on the doors.
The rest of the home is so elegant, why the heavy beams with the lovely cabinetry?
The everyday dining area next to the kitchen.
A parlor. Lovely fireplace, colors and trims.
Even the hall is beautiful. Look at the domed door.
Off the hall is a gothic bath. How incredible is that millwork & stained glass window (which still makes me wonder, why the rustic kitchen?). The flooring looks original.
Note the lit niches on the way up the stairs in the entrance. They lead up to a sitting room with a fireplace.
What a lovely original looking bedroom. Love the fireplace, light fixture and medallion. Look at the door w/the 2 windows. That's unusual.
I wonder what's going on w/the molding, though. Why is it partially painted?
And, this is a little side room. Isn't this fabulous?
What a royal looking bath.
Love the ceiling in this bedsitting room.
This is nice- look at the floor.
Upper floor must've been the servants quarters. Look at this architecture and the lighting. Plus that little room in the belvédère.
Look at this. I can't believe that this house went for $450K. It makes me sick.
Outside, they can take their old truck thingy outta here, I guess. There's a horse barn.
Large field for horses. Doesn't get any better than this.
4.40 Acres. Look at how huge the property is. That one parcel goes way back.

Lemon Parmesan Shrimp Penne
An absurdly simple weeknight meal. Simple and delicious dish that can be made in under 30 minutes. It is one of my favorite things to make, and this delicious pasta never fails to make it into my meal rotations. I really love how simple but flavorful this pasta always turns out. It's among my go-to quick dinners on weeknights. This recipe is sure to please those who love to squeeze lemon over everything they eat. The flavor of garlic and basil permeates every bite of this pasta, which is savory from the Parmesan cheese and acidic from the generous amount of fresh lemon juice.
