3 bedrooms | 2 baths | 3,116 square feet
So it’s going to take quite a bit of work and cash to restore this central Illinois Victorian. But for only $69k there’s plenty of meat on the bone! And damn, check out that insane staircase and brilliantly gaudy wallpaper! It’s time for someone to roll up their sleeves and make this gem pop again.
BTW, I included a shot of the totally non-spooky kitchen to show that this place has been restored somewhat and isn’t a complete hot mess.
Here’s the realtor’s description.
