Are you a lookiloo? Yeah, I think you know I am one, too. Which is why I love visiting Lookiloos, a website for people like us who can’t get enough of house tours. This gorgeous 1872 Italianate Victorian is currently featured on Lookiloos, and I think I’m in love. From the front [...]
My daughter Lily loves to play “I Spy.” We play it a lot in the car on road trips and in restaurants when we’re waiting for the food to arrive. We also enjoy those “I Spy” books where you search for certain objects on each page.
So that got me thinking. Why not play a version [...]
Take a look at this old red brick house on the market for $249,000 in Cincinnati. It was built in 1898 and has four bedrooms and two baths. It’s been “completely renovated,” which sounds good. Sure. But wait until you see the “improvements” they made. I’m not sure they took things in the right direction.
You know how sometimes you’re surfing through the listings of houses for sale and suddenly come across a real diamond in the rough? Someplace that just screams, “Save me! Please! I have so much potential!” And you wish so badly you had the money, time, skills, and resources to buy that house and love it [...]
Lane’s End Farm has been a familiar sight around here with its purple-painted Victorian farmhouse since the 1860s. People come from miles around to buy dried flowers and floral arrangements from the Browne family on their “flower farm” outside Loveland, Ohio.
Now this house, gardens, barn, and carriage house that sit on 4 1/2 acres are [...]
Hmmm. Something’s just not right with this kitchen. Do you see it? If you want to get a look at it from another angle, click “more” below.
As promised, today we’re taking a tour of this charming yellow-painted Victorian home in Columbia Tusculum, which was the first neighborhood founded in the Cincinnati area (then known as Losantiville) in the late 1700s. (To read more about it, check out yesterday’s post.)
It was on the market earlier this year and I found interior photos [...]
It’s time to show you the actual houses that were on the North Avondale Home Tour last weekend. This 1937 Normandy Manor, known as The Levine House, will be our first stop.
But first, to set the scene, I’m going to tell you how I embarrassed myself a little that day. I don’t know why, since [...]
This was one of the houses we walked by on the house tour through North Avondale. This three-story home was built in 1908 and has 6 bedrooms and 4.5 baths, with a total of 6,500 square feet. It’s currently on the market for $860,000, so I looked up the interior photos to show you (see [...]
As I mentioned yesterday, Dave and I went on a tour of historic mansions in North Avondale over the weekend, and now I have lots of fun photos to share with you.
Avondale was one of the earliest, and toniest, suburbs of Cincinnati. In 1886 Willard Glazier wrote about it in his book Peculiarities of American [...]
