More Walking, More Gawking: Part 2

Let’s continue our walking tour of North Avondale now and see what other interesting houses we can find– like this pink one with yellow trim, which looked like something out of a fairy tale.

This green house stopped us in our tracks:

Some of the old mansions were in bad shape, like this red-brick home that needed some TLC, but still managed to be stunning:

This white house reminds me of the kind of home Hollywood loves to use in movies. “Father of the Bride,” for example, had a white house similar to this one. I know there are others. Can anyone think of any other films that used a house similar to this? It was picture-perfect, flower boxes and all (you saw this house behind the gaslight in Part 1, but since you all liked it so much, I’m posting these close-ups):

This house had a For Sale sign in front, so I jotted down the address and looked it up on the MLS. Lucky you–you get to see a few interior photos of this one. It’s on the market for $500,000. It has 6 BR and 3.5 BA. Keep scrolling to see what it looks like inside!

Here was another house we passed on Rose Hill that had a For Sale sign in the yard, so you’ll get to see some interior photos of it, as well. It’s on the market for $515,000:

The breakfast room features lots of storage. I wonder if this was originally some sort of butler’s pantry?

The bathroom looks original like it has been virtually untouched by remodeling efforts over the decades:

Neither has this one:

Well, that was fun. But there are more houses to look at from our day in North Avondale. I still have to show you the big old mansions we got to walk through! So be sure to come back because you won’t want to miss them. I’m telling you.
