Impressive 1865 brick house in Sparkill, NY, 20 min. north of NYC. 7bds, 5ba, 6,453 sq ft, $1.995m.
Large entrance hall. Looks like they preserved this home- the floors and woodwork are original, but it may have been painted white at some point.
At the end of the hall pocket doors open to this cute round room.
The sitting room has an original fireplace and the perfect alcove for a piano.
Nice large dining room.
Interesting rustic kitchen may have been remodeled around the 1950s, by the look of the knotty pine. Love the fireplace.
Definitely has a fairy tale railing.
Pretty primary bedroom is big and gets lots of natural light.
Cute smaller bedroom.
Bedroom not being used makes a good TV room.
Vintage bath. I love the colors of older tiles.
Isn't this cute? A little foyer w/shelving outside this pink tiled bath.
They're using this large room as a home office.
More bedrooms in the finished attic.
There's a nice little patio on the side of the house.
This little house is a legal rental on the property.
There's also a barn.
The grounds are stunning.
5.76 acre lot

This pricey 2005 Castle House in Ranger, GA has been taken off the market. 4bds, 4ba, 9,069 sq ft, $2,571,500.
The grand entrance with a double staircase.
There's just something castle-wannabe about these modern castle builds. They gave it 3-pointed arch doorways and wide moldings, but there's something about the smooth walls. They seem like they should be stone.
The doorway opens to a dining room. Interesting ceiling.
I can't say that I like the kitchen. It has 2 islands, but there's something about the design that's "off." I think that it could've been so much nicer.
Up here, they have another living room and kitchen.
The primary bedroom is very large and has an interesting shape. What a dinky, pedestrian fireplace surround. It's not even a built-in.
It has more than one room, so it's a large suite. There's a door to a terrace, and it has 2 big sinks that are unfortunately, on carpet.
Huge shower is like a separate room. I don't know what the high door on the left is for.
And, it also leads into this room. Very unusual.
Even this secondary bedroom is a gigantic suite.
Outdoors, they have a large pergola, patio, and pool.
The outdoor kitchen is in this weird little area.
Huge pre-fab barn on the property.
There's a lot of land- 106 acres. This bridge needs some repair.
It also has a lake on the property.

I made a silicone mould of the 3D printed octopus. Finally. The plan is to cast it in foam clay so I can use it on the new Flintloctopus that I'll definitely make one day.
There's foam clay in the mould now, but it will take a while for the deepest part to set

It's cute, needs lots of work, and doesn't look like it's in the best neighborhood, but it's a 1900 cottage in San Francisco, CA, so it's way overpriced. 2bds, 1ba, 740 sq ft, $699k.
This would be the main room. I'm assuming that several of the doors are closets and there's a fireplace, some ceiling beams w/exposed ductwork.
Small built-in dining counter.
Kitchen's not terribly small, but a bit disjointed. I think it needs a total remodel.
Directly off the kitchen, there's a decent bedroom with a wood feature wall and double closet.
Modern bath remodel, but it looks like a DIY.
Bedroom #2 is very nice- vaulted ceiling, beautiful window and walls.
A fireplace, too.
Plus a loft. I see that the ladder folds, when it's not in use.
This is cute. Talking about bringing the outdoors in.
Look at the vines on the ceiling.
Architectural salvage is not only interesting, but ecologically friendly.
Looks like tiny private deck back here.
So, there's plenty of parking, patio area, and a cute little porch.
I would paint this nice fence black and put pretty plants in the planter. It's adorable, but the price is outrageous. 0.06 acre lot.

Melissa's very vintage maximalist living room with deep, but lively, purple walls accented with gold. Fabulous.
What a great piece. Look at the veneer chipping off- it's details like this, that give a piece character.
I would've never thought of buying a 70s side chair like this, but it works.
She incorporates the mid century modern pieces and it's the attention to detail that pulls it all together.
Gorgeous Art Deco dress. Makes me want to go to a speakeasy.
So much to see!
What fun it must've been to collect these things.

Incredibly original 1885 brick Victorian time capsule in Portage, WI. 5bds, 2ba, 3,014 sq ft, $574,900.
Isn't this like stepping back in time? Original stairs and look at the hat rack on the wall.
The keeping room has a wide doorway with lacy millwork and pocket doors that open to the 2nd sitting room.
This is incredible- look at that fireplace. I wonder how old the wallpaper is.
Beautiful dining room. The wood in this home is superbly preserved. I don't think I've ever seen a recessed built-in cabinet like this one.
Bath #1 isn't overly modernized. It still has a pedestal sink and original medicine cabinet.
The cabinets have to be original b/c they're actually in the wall. I've never seen that before.
Here's a weird room. Looks like it's a remodeled back porch.
Nice ground floor guest room.
The upstairs landing has a niche and a sitting alcove. Very nice details.
Lovely bedroom.
I would say that this is the primary bedroom.
The main bath on the 2nd level is nicely modernized.
I like this 2nd floor porch.
Porch swing on the side of the house.
Huge driveway and 3 car garage.
Wow, look at that. Love how they painted it.
Gorgeous architectural details.
9,147 sq ft lot

With its powerful jaws and sharp teeth, the California sheephead is an incredible fish that can cut through the mightiest sea urchins and protect kelp forests!
Did we mention they also sleep in a mucus cocoon at night? 👀
