#ornate homes

Thanks to boiled-onionrings for finding this unusual 1990 home in Ashland, OR. 3bds, 3ba, 2,627 sq ft, reduced $80k to $1.1m. I could be wrong, but I still think that $1.1m is too much.

The living room has high ceilings with gothic style windows and an interesting fireplace.

Lion carvings on the fireplace surround ornate glass fire doors.

I always figure that a room is huge if you can fit a baby grand piano in it.

A weirdly shaped, modern-artsy opening to the dining room doesn't really match the style of the fancy traditional stairs.

A few steps up into the dining room. Interesting how they matched the border of the floor to the wainscoting.

The kitchen is large, but a lot of people don't like tile counters, b/c the grout could hold bacteria. I don't like that there's no exhaust over the cook top, can you see the charring on the ceiling?

Small guest room on the main floor.

Down 3 steps there's a sunken family room with a fireplace and door to the patio.

Closeup of the fireplace.

Cute, roomy shower. It has a nice pedestal sink.

Statue perfectly framed in this window going up the stairs.

At the top of the stairs, the door to the primary bedroom.

Large primary bedroom has a pitched ceiling and a fireplace, plus sliders to a private terrace.

This is very nice, with a view of the mountains.

The big bathroom looks like it has an office stuck in the small space on the side. Unless it's a vanity area. I don't like the stairs to get into the tub. I wonder fi there's a shower behind the glass block wall.

Fancy door w/a stained glass window opens to a corner bedroom.

This is cute. Looks like a child's room.

Then, this would be the 3rd bath.

The grounds are stunning. Look at this Zen garden.

This is unusual, b/c the patio is in the front of the house.

It's very nice and has a great view.

There are stairs down to the garden, and a paved path to walk around.

Beautiful tranquil waterfall.

This is pretty- a private table in the garden. The lot measures .47 acre.

The cottage-like sitting room at Frogmore exudes coziness, with comfortable daybed, ornate armoire, and piles of books and magazines.

His room, five paces down the hall from her own, carries the same dryness that sits on his clothes: a cool brush of evening air through the open window, their city's sweet-soured tang mingling with the spice of his cigars, the dusky notes of his cologne, the polished cedar of the floors: all deep greens and old carpets and the scent of tobacco on his fingers, where they tick an ivory comb through the knots in her hair.

Posted this one before- the 1920 home in Birmingham, AL has been re-listed for sale 4 times since 2022, and has undergone the following price changes: $1.45M; $1.25M; $1.05M; $975K; until the current $925K.

The sun porch entrance would make a stunning conservatory.

In order to buy this house, you have to like your homes ornate. When you have a home like this, by repainting too much, you ruin the sharpness of the details.

The dining room is off the entrance hall.

Notice how the sitting room has 2 steps down. I would have to warn any guests, b/c they're gonna trip, for sure. Who would expect that?

This less formal sitting room, used as a family room, opens to the garden. Interesting floral floor. I wonder if it's hand painted.

Off the family room there's a mini kitchen where they have a wine rack, microwave, mini fridge, and ice maker. Look at the fancy sink.

Judging by the books and magazines, they must spend a lot of time in here- guest powder room on the main floor.

I didn't expect a galley kitchen.

But, there's space for a table on either end.

Here's another sitting room with steps up to the main floor primary bedroom.

It has a small en-suite with an original tub. Nice mirrored sink cabinet.

The paintings on the walls are, according to the description, museum quality.

Look at that ceiling. You know, I bet this home would look cool in gray and black goth style.

Small bedroom #1 is surrounded by windows.

This bath is majorly ornate. Look at the sink! Arches in the shower, too, and mirrors everywhere.

Larger room with a ceiling mural. I wonder if that pink desk would convey.

This is nice- a big covered terrace on the 2nd level.

Back on the ground level, there's a small workshop.

Deck with a hot tub surrounded by ivy-covered walls.

Here's a patio with a pergola.

Gated front with a one-car garage. 8,712 sq ft lot. I'd definitely buy it.
