Built in 1890
Okay, so this one is technically pending, but ya never know! Located in the deep south, or as we call it the “dirty souf,” this 1890 Victorian has a killer, spooky, Southern Gothic feel to it.
I’m crazy for turrets and parlors — both of which this house has in spades. There’s also a sick, dark stained, dusty ass staircase and slightly depressing, but at the same time totally charming decor. And I could definitely imagine the ghost of a southern belle roaming the halls at night.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
