Quincy, IL – $599,000

4 bedrooms | 3 baths | 4,500 square feet

Built in 1880

I can only hope this beautifully gloomy Mansard comes with at least some of the decor because the vintage pictures lining the wall, taxidermy, and Victorian lampshades really make it pop. Combine that with the melancholy red and green walls, dark oak and walnut, and hyper-detailed ceilings, and you’ve got a winner.

All I need is a quill and ink to write a Gothic novel in the study.

Here’s the realtor’s description.

“Historic charm with modern conveniences, located right in the heart of the East End Historic District. The quality craftsmanship, with butternut, walnut and oak woods adorn the entire home, floor to ceiling. Adding warmth to this beautiful home are 3 stunning marble fireplaces, all in working order.
