Absolutely they can! My home was built in 1940 and I wish the "flippers" had sold it as is back in 2000 when I bought it. They removed a lot of the touches that gave the home it's cottage charm. The world doesn't need carpet over original hardwood, jetted tubs, and stainless steel sinks. Not that there's anything wrong with that---just don't buy homes like this with SO much original charm and turn it into a 990's style condo with 2023 gray paint everywhere and gray vinyl "wood look" flooring 🤢
Oh my gosh! I could NOT agree more! I see so much “farmhouse” style or super modern and sleek, grey everything! My grandparents all had farmhouses on big farms, and none of this resembles the charm of well built, purposeful items, NOT for display, that evolved over decades and decades of living. Now, everyone runs to a few thrift stores and cheap chains, buys particle board furniture and has their home “done” in a weekend. Lol. I drove by an older home getting flipped a few years back, stopped and looked at everything they threw on the curb.. found a gorgeous mahogany sideboard with no top, and I thought, I’ll take it anyway. Kept digging and found the perfect marble top to it! Asked the men if I could take it, and they said, it’s just junk. Take it all. So sad. Was headed to the landfill. Clueless people.

I lived in a 1937 Tudor house with all original art deco bathrooms. This house is absolutely NOT a tudor. I don't know what you'd call this style house, but it's not a Tudor by any means.
@@jazzythecat918 straight from google: Tudor homes are characterized by their steeply pitched gable roofs, playfully elaborate masonry chimneys (often with chimney pots), embellished doorways, groupings of windows and decorative half-timbering. The latter is an exposed wood framework with the spaces between the timbers filled with masonry or stucco. In this house we have: *steeply pitched gable roof *decorative half timbering *stucco If may or may not have had more aspects, originally. It's always been a modest example of the style. You might even call it a Tudor Vernacular. Basically taking parts from several different styles, as a personal choice or because of locally available supplies or geographic needs. You don't need to agree with me. Nor am I dependent on changing your mind. But I stand by what I said.
Top attic part needs to stay open! It’s beautiful up there! I can see a reading nook in that little cubby whole area an older kid up there oooorrrr a nice office Don’t think closing it off would help with such already a tiny house.
I love to refigure old home so here is my idea. Make a front porch that comes out and goes to the driveway with steps. Take the front kitchen window out and put in French doors. Turn the kitchen into the dinning room and use the back bedroom as the kitchen ( behind the bathroom)A compact efficient kitchen with the new smaller refrigerator. Take down the wall so that staircase is exposed.Also Take the wall down between living room and bedroom and open up the sides of the staircase adding a French rail staircase. This will create a larger living space. I’m stumped on the washer and dyer location so maybe rework the downstairs bathroom with laundry/ sink/ toilet. Upstairs create a bath and two bedrooms. Fence the front yard with a pretty gate. Carport- mount a trellis with climbing vines. Opening up the sides of the steep staircase will make the house feel spacious….hit the antique/ vintage shops for railings. This house has a lot of potential! Just my musings for the day!
Older designs need not fit into our modern forms. There's no need for a dining room or moving the kitchen. It's a sweet home who needs an appreciative owner.

This is a Tudor revival style home going by the detailing on the outside of the home on the upper area. I wouldn't tear out that big beautiful pine tree it makes this property more pleasing and worth more. I can imagine the top floor (formerly the attic) turned into a total master suite. The home needs everything thing done and I would like to see a truly gifted team like the team from THIS Old House be the one's working one this home making it a true gem.

It could be made large enough to hold a bathroom, kitchen, laundry room, a large bathroom and large living room. This house should go for $65,000 at best.
@@MsCynflo I guess this leads into the question about California. Are people who work there still earning enough to pay for the prices that are being asked for property in California? I'm in both Las Vegas and in Houston. I am seeing a lot of people selling their homes in Los Angeles and San Fransisco in favor of Nevada and Texas. That's the reason why home prices have gone up so much in these places. But that all ends when home prices in California crash. That doesn't happen until the jobs disappear. So how are the jobs in California doing?
The attic is a mind-blowing surprise. Nice private yard with plenty of potential too. Downstairs interior, good project for an experienced DIYer. Systems & exterior work, lots of of pro work & pricey. Wish whoever owned these classic & charming little homes would take care of them - such a shame & waste when they don't.
this home is listed at $215,000, nearby homes are listed as being in comparable price range but in much better condition on the exterior. Just the exterior work will put this way above nearby houses. The price is going to have to be cut considerably in order to sale. I wish you luck.

Thank you for your positive feedback! 100% agree! The roof doesn't leak and foundation is good! Improvements could be made gradually over time. Long term value would be excellent in this style of house and neighborhood!

@@SolzeyeJewels I was born in August of 1958. Never lived there we moved a couple days later. Remember the old bandstand at the park? My grandpa helped build that. Favorite restaurant was SPECKS CAFE downtown. There was a house by A & W that sold donuts out of their house. You could smell them for blocks. Good memories.
@@roncastro7168NY and Cali have some of the most expensive sq ft real estate prices in the country where demand exceeds supply. That house is way over priced even in those markets. It's a handy man's special money pit.. Unless the land is valuable it's not worth the cost of even tearing it down.
The door to nowhere was actually a ‘snow’ door, as during a blizzard snow could be actually get that deep. And it’s a Tudor home, but $220,000 is ridiculous for that property. My parents paid $45K for 2 acres and 1200 sqft 4 br in IF in 1990.
Thanks, never heard of a snow door. That would be some snow drift! Yes, prices have increased dramatically in the last few years. So many factors. Hard to imagine what prices might be 10 years from now! 😵💫
Fascinating. I can imagine how lovely that house could be if you had some money to put into it. I loved it. I would never remove that heater. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s so historical and a great conversation piece. Very cool. Enjoyed from Texas
Thanks for the great feedback! 💯 percent agree about the furnace! I can imagine it repurposed as an outdoor fireplace centerpiece tucked into a cozy garden patio.🤩
916 square feet. asking $215K. I needs at least another $100k to make it halfway livable. (Plumbing, wiring, better heating/cooling, sheetrock, roof, wood trim is rotted, yard clean up, and how on earth would you make the stairs to code?) Insane
A lot on here giving out about the price of this absolutely gem of a home . That needs the right person or persons who would cherish and truly love to bring it back to its former glory so that it continues to stand proud.You just can not put a price on historical buildings such as this one.The very best of luck to whom ever buys it.From Ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇲
The curb appeal is there. No dining space. Open kitchen to adjoining bedroom, making it a 1 bed up, 1 down? I wouldn't touch this place as it needs EVERYTHING! But love the old charm from the exterior front.
This is a gorgeous little home, the possibilities are endless, so much potential! I would turn that place into a fairy tale cottage, Grimms gothic style.
I called the tax assesor to see if my grandmas house in Twin was still standing. All i had was the address & approx date she bought it. They told me she bought it for $45. It was in the 40's. Gave me the name of seller & everything. They keep great records.
Oooh! Cute. Okay. It needs a little work. But, I love that upstairs area. That could be my husbands home office and where I set up my massage table and have a yoga corner. And the backyard would get a lot of use! I’d grow all kinds of veggies and herbs.
A nice sized lot, from the look of it. The structure looks sound. Consulting with an architect to see what possible alterations can be made or perhaps pulling it down and starting fresh.
Yes! When I first pulled up and saw it peeking from behind the big pine I felt like I was in an enchanted forest! Can’t wait to see what the new owners do with it.🤩
So much potential…granted it would cost an absolute fortune. The former attic would make a gorgeous bedroom & sitting area with ensuite bathroom. Kitchen and downstairs bathroom would need to be gutted and redone; driveway and carport redone, yards cleaned up and landscaped, roof replaced as the realtor mentioned. But given enough TLC, what a jewel to bring back to life.
I could be wrong, but for the current condition and remodeling needs - the selling price will probably be ~ $150k. Yes, the very nice house across the street sold for $330k, but this house has a wonky layout by comparison. Best wishes for finding a new owner.
@@roncastro7168I don't see a bank appraisal being approved due to the condition of the house. Nor do I see a home inspector wanting to approve it either. Looks to me it'll need to be an all cash deal.
@@jazzythecat918 definitely would probably be a stretch for FHA or VA loan in its current state. A conventional loan appraisal could probably pass. In Idaho you don’t have to get approval from a home inspector to buy/sell a house. The home inspector simply helps the buyer and seller to understand what items in the home might need repair.
Wood floors are beautiful and have great potential. The home is adorable and could be absolutely beautiful, but a lot of work and blood and sweat to get there definitely a fixer upper.
Big cost. Rehab is expensive unless you do it yourself. Install split HVAC in each floor and all will be removed from the basement… The kitchen may need an under counter refrigerator or stove moved so refrigerator has more room. Like the design.
We don’t have shingle on our roofs in Australia. They are either Colourbond or tiles, which last forever. Have never understood why you do a rood that way. A tin roof is my favourite as you can hear the rain and it’s very soothing. Such a cute house.
I could picture a white or black metal roof on this one with the house painted white with black trim. We have a few roofs around town with tile shingles, but not many. My mom has cement shingles on her home in Southern California and they are 70 years old! Still holding in there!
Yeah, no way. It needs at least 100k in renovations. At least that but most likely more. Materials and labor are so expensive these days. I don't know anything about this market , are people so desperate for housing? I don't mean to be offensive but I thought the price would be more like 50k, I mean it's Ohio. Aren't houses cheap in Ohio?
I would never want to live in that particular location geographically speaking but I love these little old houses. They are very uncomfortable to live in but so cute from the outside.
I remember when my cousins moved to Twin Falls back in the mid ‘70’s. It was a really small community but they had a big house. I wonder how much family I have there anymore
That Furnace in the middle of the floor is in a Terrible Place. Love the look of this Cute House. With Alot of Elbow Grease and Money, this Cutie could be Transformed, inside and Outside, to a Fairytale Cottage!! Although the Kitchen is Very Small, it could be pushed out and made Larger. I can already see the Potential this Cottage can become. This is something I sure would like to own and Refurbish. But, its just a Dream for me!! So much Potential upstairs. A nice Deck could be built off the closed off door. Install a Sliding Glass Door to the Outside Deck. Would love to see what the New Owner has planned for this house. Maybe you could do another Video sometime in the Future. I'm sure Alot of Viewers would love to see the Updates.. Thanks!!
Thanks for the great feedback! Yes, I'm hoping the new owner will allow me to do a video tour when they are done restoring it. Will keep you posted! :)
That house looks like such an adorable project! I wouldn’t split the attic though. I would make that the single and only bedroom and rework the floor plan downstairs for a larger living room, larger bathroom, art studio, and kitchen. But that’s just my preference.
My favorite homes in Idaho are the ones with a front porch. I remember as a kid in Weiser when it was hot, the older women would put the tvs on their screen in porch and watch their shows. Us kids could hear their tvs while playing outside. I love those memories. I love the older homes.
I wouldn’t enclose anything upstairs. That alcove would make a great bathroom. The upstairs could be a master suite with one side the bedroom the other side a seating area it has great potential
A house built in 1937 is definitely not Victorian. Sadly, someone will probably demolish this nice little house because people want more room to hoard things.
It needs tons of work. So, the asking price would have to be very low for it to be worthwhile. However, it has a lot of vintage charm and potential. This would be an ideal project for someone with creativity, imagination and vision. You’d also have to have a significant amount of time and money.
I would extend the kitchen into the driveway area and put a room above it. I would also put a garage on the other side of the property.....a lot of work.
Those are some great ideas! Yes, a lot of work, but worth it in the end. It would greatly increase the property value and make the home more functional. :)
I would lose the giant stove and refrigerator. Open up the kitchen to the living room then add a small island with pull-out stools, storage, and electrical outlets, put a small refrigerator with a separate freezer under the island, a portable dish washer drawer style, and store induction hot plates. A pot rack can hang from the ceiling. Cabinets can be installed on the stove side and maybe the old fridge side and add a convection microwave. Add a deep freezer to the basement.
I love your vision. I would LOVE to see what you could do with my house in Angola NY. Too big for me now. Big home on 14.5 acres of woods and free natural Gas.
Aw, thank you for the kind words. Wish I were in NY to help! If you'd like me to hook you up with a good agent in Angola I'd be glad to do that for you. We've got connections! :) Your property sounds beautiful!
I would make the improvements to the attic, and take out one of the bedrooms downstairs to jncrease the kitchen and bathroom size and add laundry to the main floor. This house could be so charming!
Very charming house. Needs LOTS of work but has loads of potentialv and character. Looks solid and well built, basement is a bit dark but appears dry and not musty at all, you can tell. A lot of very negative people without any vision here in the comment section and it is a bit disheartening.
Thanks for great feedback! I suppose each commenter draws from their own experiences and knowledge in evaluating a property. Ultimately, the buyer is likely one who sees the awesome potential a home like this has. I appreciate your perspective! 😊
Well it is very cute. If you totally gutted it and put $200k-$300k into it you would have a super cute tiny house worth about $50k I bet brand new in 1940 it sold for $850.00. 😊
Thanks! It really is a great little house. The new owners have been busy making improvements - can't wait to see it. You're so right, it's crazy to think how much prices in real estate have increased over the years, especially in recent years in our neck of the woods. Hoping the market will become more affordable for first-time buyers. Have a great fourth!
Zillow claims $199,000. This cute house needs a lot of work. New electrical, heating, roof, concrete steps to both doors, wood floors refinished, new bathroom, kitchen. Yikes. I would love to replace the deck off side of house on 2nd level. Basement is in need of resealing, new water heater, furnace. New windows. Woof!!!! I'd also like to fence in backyard from house line back. Pine tree in front yard needs removing.
I love this house so much. Its perfect. I think id make the attic a master bedroom and bathroom with a closet and then downstairs get rid of the wall on that one master bedroom for a bigger living room. But idk, im not good at telling dimensions. Thats a cool basement.
They got rid of the fireplace at some point. That sucks. Pretty much only rental quality at this point. I’m thinking the upstairs outside door was to bring furniture upstairs.
Someone else thought that same thing about the upstairs door. Possibly had exterior stairs at one time. There are a few other similar homes that did that back in the day. Thanks for commenting! :)
I’d turn the 2 lower beds into a master suite and powder room for guests, and upstairs would get 2 beds with Jack and Jill bath in between. If you take out all those strange closets upstairs, you may even have room for 3rd bed or office. Furnace has to go. Mama needs her craft room with the laundry room.
It’s not small it’s “cozy” as realtors would say…. It’s a starter home at best, but Definitely for someone who isn’t in the home all the time when it was built, not like today where we’re all inside all the time. It’s has charm but definitely needs work.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that people spent more time outdoors in past years and indoors was more a place to sleep and eat. Might be good for a single person or small family. :)
Aw, so sorry to hear that! Looks like a great house and a great neighborhood. Love the palm trees! I would live there in a heartbeat. Hang in there, it will sell.
This property sold in March. Can't wait to see what the new owners do with it! 🤩

@@kristy9337Worse than Dallas prices.
The door to nowhere was actually a ‘snow’ door, as during a blizzard snow could be actually get that deep. And it’s a Tudor home, but $220,000 is ridiculous for that property. My parents paid $45K for 2 acres and 1200 sqft 4 br in IF in 1990.
Thanks, never heard of a snow door. That would be some snow drift! Yes, prices have increased dramatically in the last few years. So many factors. Hard to imagine what prices might be 10 years from now! 😵💫
Suggest asbestos testing depending on the age of the ceiling panels
I thought the same thing. Asbestos removal is crazy expensive, too.
Fascinating. I can imagine how lovely that house could be if you had some money to put into it. I loved it. I would never remove that heater. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s so historical and a great conversation piece. Very cool. Enjoyed from Texas
Thanks for the great feedback! 💯 percent agree about the furnace! I can imagine it repurposed as an outdoor fireplace centerpiece tucked into a cozy garden patio.🤩
916 square feet. asking $215K. I needs at least another $100k to make it halfway livable. (Plumbing, wiring, better heating/cooling, sheetrock, roof, wood trim is rotted, yard clean up, and how on earth would you make the stairs to code?) Insane
You'd be amazed at what some of our great local builders can do!
That house is not 916 sq ft. It's more like 650 sq ft of living space.
@@jazzythecat918 Public records state 916 ft.². Having been in the house, I feel that’s pretty accurate.😊
Beautiful hardwood flooring 😮
Yes, it really is!
It has undeniable charm. ☺️
It sure does! It’s the Cinderella on the block. True beauty shines through even dirt and dust!
A lot on here giving out about the price of this absolutely gem of a home . That needs the right person or persons who would cherish and truly love to bring it back to its former glory so that it continues to stand proud.You just can not put a price on historical buildings such as this one.The very best of luck to whom ever buys it.From Ireland 🇮🇪🇺🇲
Thank you, Ireland! 🇮🇪 “You just can not put a price on historical buildings such as this one.” I couldn’t agree more!🤩
The curb appeal is there. No dining space. Open kitchen to adjoining bedroom, making it a 1 bed up, 1 down? I wouldn't touch this place as it needs EVERYTHING! But love the old charm from the exterior front.
Thanks for the feedback! I like your idea of opening up the kitchen. Someone with a vision is going to make it spectacular!
This is a gorgeous little home, the possibilities are endless, so much potential! I would turn that place into a fairy tale cottage, Grimms gothic style.
Yes! I can picture it in a movie!🎥
I called the tax assesor to see if my grandmas house in Twin was still standing. All i had was the address & approx date she bought it. They told me she bought it for $45. It was in the 40's. Gave me the name of seller & everything. They keep great records.
Wow! I bet that was neat to find out!
Not forty-five dollars?!?!? 😮
I read that in 1945 the medium U.S. house value was just $3,000. Amazing!@@hereforit2347
@@roncastro7168: It IS! 😊
Fabulous house, do understand all the complaints. Of course it needs some work, that is what one calls sweat equity.
So true!👍
Oooh! Cute. Okay. It needs a little work. But, I love that upstairs area. That could be my husbands home office and where I set up my massage table and have a yoga corner. And the backyard would get a lot of use! I’d grow all kinds of veggies and herbs.
I can totally picture that! Any pets?😊
I love it! If I were younger ... My current home was built in 1933 and it is solid!
So true! When people question older homes I tell them, “let’s see how the homes built today will look in 100 years!”
A nice sized lot, from the look of it. The structure looks sound. Consulting with an architect to see what possible alterations can be made or perhaps pulling it down and starting fresh.
The lot is approx 5227 ft.² and the home was built in 1937.😊
Very cute ‘money pit’!
Depends who buys it. For someone it will be their dream project!
Wow! I immediately thought this is a fairy's home! The front is really cute!! But, the inside would need to be gutted and reconfigured.❤
Yes! When I first pulled up and saw it peeking from behind the big pine I felt like I was in an enchanted forest! Can’t wait to see what the new owners do with it.🤩
So much potential…granted it would cost an absolute fortune. The former attic would make a gorgeous bedroom & sitting area with ensuite bathroom. Kitchen and downstairs bathroom would need to be gutted and redone; driveway and carport redone, yards cleaned up and landscaped, roof replaced as the realtor mentioned. But given enough TLC, what a jewel to bring back to life.
Can’t wait to see this jewel shine!💎💖🤩
I could be wrong, but for the current condition and remodeling needs - the selling price will probably be ~ $150k. Yes, the very nice house across the street sold for $330k, but this house has a wonky layout by comparison. Best wishes for finding a new owner.
Thanks for the feedback! I guess we'll find out once it gets an accepted offer. Hopefully someone will get a killer deal!
@@roncastro7168I don't see a bank appraisal being approved due to the condition of the house. Nor do I see a home inspector wanting to approve it either. Looks to me it'll need to be an all cash deal.
@@jazzythecat918 definitely would probably be a stretch for FHA or VA loan in its current state. A conventional loan appraisal could probably pass. In Idaho you don’t have to get approval from a home inspector to buy/sell a house. The home inspector simply helps the buyer and seller to understand what items in the home might need repair.
Wood floors are beautiful and have great potential. The home is adorable and could be absolutely beautiful, but a lot of work and blood and sweat to get there definitely a fixer upper.
Big cost. Rehab is expensive unless you do it yourself. Install split HVAC in each floor and all will be removed from the basement… The kitchen may need an under counter refrigerator or stove moved so refrigerator has more room. Like the design.
Thanks for the great feedback! This property sold in March.
We don’t have shingle on our roofs in Australia. They are either Colourbond or tiles, which last forever. Have never understood why you do a rood that way. A tin roof is my favourite as you can hear the rain and it’s very soothing. Such a cute house.
I could picture a white or black metal roof on this one with the house painted white with black trim. We have a few roofs around town with tile shingles, but not many. My mom has cement shingles on her home in Southern California and they are 70 years old! Still holding in there!
Listed for $215? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME GOOD LUCK
They are hoping to find a sucker who has on rose colored glasses with delusions of fantasy to buy it.
Yeah, no way. It needs at least 100k in renovations. At least that but most likely more. Materials and labor are so expensive these days.
I don't know anything about this market , are people so desperate for housing? I don't mean to be offensive but I thought the price would be more like 50k, I mean it's Ohio. Aren't houses cheap in Ohio?
@@lisabrightly The house is in Idaho, not Ohio. Houses are not cheap anywhere these days.
Not to worry, You and your wide will have yourselves all straightened out with your various projects. I trust in you.
Thank you 😊
I would never want to live in that particular location geographically speaking but I love these little old houses. They are very uncomfortable to live in but so cute from the outside.
I can imagine it a cozy fairytale themed Airbnb!
Out of curiosity why what’s going on in that part of the world
@@lunab.1136clean neighborhoods, safe streets, and wide open spaces!🙌
I remember when my cousins moved to Twin Falls back in the mid ‘70’s. It was a really small community but they had a big house. I wonder how much family I have there anymore
It’s grown so much since then! All the great places do!😊
That’s such a charming house 🏡 Just some TLC!! No!!! Please don’t cut that big tree 🌲 down. It’s beautiful!!💖🌹
Yes it’s a very special architecture and quite appealing. Just needs some updating. Hope the tree can be saved!😊
Cute cottage. Somebody took decent care of it. Looks like the Hansel and Gretel house
Yes, it does! Can't wait to see what the new owners do with it!
Take the pine tree down and carpet the hardwood floors? Uh, no.
Perhaps just a tree-trim and refinishing the floors is the way to go.😉
That Furnace in the middle of the floor is in a Terrible Place. Love the look of this Cute House. With Alot of Elbow Grease and Money, this Cutie could be Transformed, inside and Outside, to a Fairytale Cottage!! Although the Kitchen is Very Small, it could be pushed out and made Larger. I can already see the Potential this Cottage can become. This is something I sure would like to own and Refurbish. But, its just a Dream for me!! So much Potential upstairs. A nice Deck could be built off the closed off door. Install a Sliding Glass Door to the Outside Deck. Would love to see what the New Owner has planned for this house. Maybe you could do another Video sometime in the Future. I'm sure Alot of Viewers would love to see the Updates.. Thanks!!
Thanks for the great feedback! Yes, I'm hoping the new owner will allow me to do a video tour when they are done restoring it. Will keep you posted! :)
The house I was born in had a heatIng grate in the middle of the hallway floor. Thus, my first word was “hot.” 😂🔥
What a great memory! We had one gas wall heater for the whole home as kids. We would crowd around it in the morning trying to get warm. Good times! :)
That house looks like such an adorable project! I wouldn’t split the attic though. I would make that the single and only bedroom and rework the floor plan downstairs for a larger living room, larger bathroom, art studio, and kitchen. But that’s just my preference.
Thanks for the feedback! Those are great ideas. The new owners have been busy making improvements. Can't wait to see it when it's done! 😊
Adorable house. I would expand the kitchen and bathroom downstairs and do a master bedroom upstairs.
It really is a great little house. Just needs some TLC. Thanks for the feedback! :)
It never ceases to amaze how people immediately say take the tree down. The issue here is not the tree, but that house needs a lot of work.
A beautiful old tree! In this case, also a possible hazard to the home. Thanks for the feedback!
I look at this house and I see a ton of potential. I hope whoever buys it or bought it did not remove all the character.
I spoke with the new owner and they said they plan to keep the vintage charm. Drove by it today and they are making progress! :)
My favorite homes in Idaho are the ones with a front porch. I remember as a kid in Weiser when it was hot, the older women would put the tvs on their screen in porch and watch their shows. Us kids could hear their tvs while playing outside. I love those memories.
I love the older homes.
Love those memories, and I can picture it all! 😍
$215, 000 for this place?? Oh hell no!
One can always make a lower offer! 😉
I wouldn’t enclose anything upstairs. That alcove would make a great bathroom. The upstairs could be a master suite with one side the bedroom the other side a seating area it has great potential
Love that idea! Hope I get to do another video tour after it's been restored!
@@roncastro7168 that would be lovely
It would be fun to have a lot of money to totally redo a tiny cute house like this
Wouldn't that be great! New owners took possession and are working on repairs - can't wait to see it! :)
Adorable! Will be a real show stopper when rehabbed!
Thank you! The new owners have been busy making improvements. Hope we can get a video when it's all done! :)
What an adventure and with a beautiful ending. I wouldn’t enclose rooms in the attic! Rec rm and bedroom. Hey they do it in hotels.
Yes a happy ending and would love to see the attic kept a big open room full of windows and natural light!
It looks as though this house was abandoned for awhile judging by the state of the yards . It's a cute mock Tudor from the 20's or 30's.
Mock Tudor…thank you, I knew there was a name for it!😁
A house built in 1937 is definitely not Victorian. Sadly, someone will probably demolish this nice little house because people want more room to hoard things.
I hope not! There are similar homes on the street that have been restored. Hoping that will happen with this one too!
It needs tons of work. So, the asking price would have to be very low for it to be worthwhile. However, it has a lot of vintage charm and potential. This would be an ideal project for someone with creativity, imagination and vision. You’d also have to have a significant amount of time and money.
So much charm and potential! And, yes, will take some hard work and money. :)
My family is from Twin Falls, hello from Oklahoma
I would extend the kitchen into the driveway area and put a room above it. I would also put a garage on the other side of the property.....a lot of work.
Those are some great ideas! Yes, a lot of work, but worth it in the end. It would greatly increase the property value and make the home more functional. :)
I would lose the giant stove and refrigerator. Open up the kitchen to the living room then add a small island with pull-out stools, storage, and electrical outlets, put a small refrigerator with a separate freezer under the island, a portable dish washer drawer style, and store induction hot plates.
A pot rack can hang from the ceiling. Cabinets can be installed on the stove side and maybe the old fridge side and add a convection microwave. Add a deep freezer to the basement.
Love your ideas! I can totally picture it as you described. New owners are working on remodeling it. Can't wait to see it when they are done.
I love your vision. I would LOVE to see what you could do with my house in Angola NY. Too big for me now. Big home on 14.5 acres of woods and free natural Gas.
Aw, thank you for the kind words. Wish I were in NY to help! If you'd like me to hook you up with a good agent in Angola I'd be glad to do that for you. We've got connections! :) Your property sounds beautiful!
I love it! Lots of potential - a real Tudor Revival gem.
Yes! So much creativity and appeal in a compact design.
I would make the improvements to the attic, and take out one of the bedrooms downstairs to jncrease the kitchen and bathroom size and add laundry to the main floor. This house could be so charming!
Those are some great ideas! The new owners have been busy making improvements. Hope we can get a tour when they are done!
Good showing. Needs alot tlc, no doubt ,but the charter, windows! Bigger then a tiny house, real cute!
Thank you! Yes, it definitely needs some tlc! I love the windows too!
If you have the time and money..
Its worth saving...and like interesting houses...its fine...
❤awesome house😊 wish I could afford that😊
Make an offer! You never know!👍
Oh yes I see you are a realtor . I love the upstairs too ❤
Very charming house. Needs LOTS of work but has loads of potentialv and character. Looks solid and well built, basement is a bit dark but appears dry and not musty at all, you can tell.
A lot of very negative people without any vision here in the comment section and it is a bit disheartening.
Thanks for great feedback! I suppose each commenter draws from their own experiences and knowledge in evaluating a property. Ultimately, the buyer is likely one who sees the awesome potential a home like this has. I appreciate your perspective! 😊
Wow. Such a lovely back yard.
It has wonderful potential with so many established plants. But definitely needs a vision! :)
Lots of potential there. If you dont have a lot of money for reno you need to be handy enough to do most of it yourself
Very true!
This house reminds me of the Walt Disney cartoon “The Tiny House” (1952) 🏠🥰
Thank you! I searched up that cartoon and you are exactly right! Hope this house has the same kind of happy ending!😍
Cute - but needs a lot of work top to bottom. Deep pockets are a must to do this up correctly. Guarantee the basement floods.
Imagine though when it’s restored! 🤩
Adorable little home! Wish these could be picked up and moved lol.
Anything is possible, if the price is right!😂
Well it is very cute. If you totally gutted it and put $200k-$300k into it you would have a super cute tiny house worth about $50k
I bet brand new in 1940 it sold for $850.00. 😊
Thanks! It really is a great little house. The new owners have been busy making improvements - can't wait to see it. You're so right, it's crazy to think how much prices in real estate have increased over the years, especially in recent years in our neck of the woods. Hoping the market will become more affordable for first-time buyers. Have a great fourth!
So much potential
100% agree!! Just needs a vision!
Zillow claims $199,000. This cute house needs a lot of work. New electrical, heating, roof, concrete steps to both doors, wood floors refinished, new bathroom, kitchen. Yikes. I would love to replace the deck off side of house on 2nd level. Basement is in need of resealing, new water heater, furnace. New windows. Woof!!!! I'd also like to fence in backyard from house line back. Pine tree in front yard needs removing.
What beautiful hard wood floors. Putting in carpet would be a mistake.
Would love to see those floors restored!
I love this house so much. Its perfect. I think id make the attic a master bedroom and bathroom with a closet and then downstairs get rid of the wall on that one master bedroom for a bigger living room. But idk, im not good at telling dimensions. Thats a cool basement.
Thanks for the positive feedback! Love your ideas!🙌
THIS IS ADORABLE 🩵🦋🩵🦋🌸🦋🩵🦋🩵
Yes!!! 💯💖 🏡
no idea where this is, but this house is CUUUUTE AF!!!! 😍
Twin Falls, Idaho! Where Evil Knievel attempted to jump the canyon. And yes, super cute house!
It’s really cute with lots of potential. The basement looks haunted. Thanks for the tour.
You’re welcome! Didn’t see any ghosts but it’s got that vibe!👻
They got rid of the fireplace at some point. That sucks. Pretty much only rental quality at this point. I’m thinking the upstairs outside door was to bring furniture upstairs.
Someone else thought that same thing about the upstairs door. Possibly had exterior stairs at one time. There are a few other similar homes that did that back in the day. Thanks for commenting! :)
It looks like a vintage church
I can see that...especially with the arched window in front. Imagine if it was stained glass! ⛪
I’d turn the 2 lower beds into a master suite and powder room for guests, and upstairs would get 2 beds with Jack and Jill bath in between. If you take out all those strange closets upstairs, you may even have room for 3rd bed or office. Furnace has to go. Mama needs her craft room with the laundry room.
Thanks for the great feedback! I like the idea of a craft room alongside the laundry - great way to spend time while those clothes wash and dry! :)
It’s not small it’s “cozy” as realtors would say…. It’s a starter home at best, but Definitely for someone who isn’t in the home all the time when it was built, not like today where we’re all inside all the time. It’s has charm but definitely needs work.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that people spent more time outdoors in past years and indoors was more a place to sleep and eat. Might be good for a single person or small family. :)
$215,000. WAY TOO expensive
Thanks for the feedback!
A total GUT job. With additions, could be very nice.
Done right, it would be beautiful!
In the Hollywood Hills we call that style “ Storybook” reflecting the Disney, old movie era .
That term seems to fit perfect!
If I won Publishers Clearing house I would go for it. Tons of work to be done but it would be a great place to leave California for.
Love it! Publisher's Clearing House Sweepstakes - the 70's answer to the lottery! You never know!! 😉
Gorgeous little home
It really is!
NOT for $215K
Thanks for sharing Ron!
Nice little house.
Thank you for the feedback. I think so too! :)
2603 Yule Tree Drive Edgewater, Florida. We just had to price drop a tremendous amount. Double open house this weekend. No one showed up. No one.
Aw, so sorry to hear that! Looks like a great house and a great neighborhood. Love the palm trees! I would live there in a heartbeat. Hang in there, it will sell.
