We're so excited to show you this beautiful Victorian Fixer Upper in the super cute city of Granite City, Illinois. The really great thing about this beautiful home is that it retains all of its unpainted woodwork and hardware.

This home sits on a lovely street with period homes surrounding. As soon as you turn down the street, you feel like you've gone back in time.

With some minor cosmetic work and a little cleaning, this would make a glorious family home.

Remember, we are not realtors and will not get commission for selling this home. We just hope to find great caretakers for these historic homes and ensure they're still around for future generations.

Whoever designed and built those dust catchers is a genius! How have we gone so backwards when it comes to craftsmanship and quality?

[whitrobinson]

All that woodwork left unpainted? Praise the Lord! So many unique and charming details. What a beautiful home!

That's how we got our 1840's Italianete with an 1880's Victorian porch. We bought it 16 years ago because it needed lots of work at a great price of $99, 700. We renovated the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room downstairs before we moved in. Then 10 years ago we renovated the upstairs bathroom. Now we're doing foundation, new duct work, and restoring the original porch. There is lots more to do but we're doing it as we have the cash to. Hopefully in a year we'll be able to replace the 2nd furnace, hot water heater, and reglaze the original windows.

My fiancé and I recently purchased a Victorian home (1891) in the little village of New Hamburg in Ontario, Canada. It is probably ~90% original (has new windows and some other upgrades), and our stove is even a replica of an old wood burning stove (with a matching fridge). It's quirky (e.g., dipping floors and uneven walls), but it's beautiful :D. I will make a video one day and post it :). I love watching these videos!

You had me at the stairs ! No more needed. What beautiful wood. You are right that’s the selling point . Well darn, just checked, it’s under contract and sold. That was a beauty.

What a beautiful house and how lucky that so many original features are still there. Gorgeous woodwork. I hope someone buys it and gives it the love it needs to make it another 100 years. Thanks so much for another wonderful tour.

In a world where McMansions rule, this home just makes me weep. How gorgeous! Thank you so much for all your videos. Lord, why wasn't I given the bank account to match my love of these beautiful homes?

Hey so good to see you in Southern Illinois! That’s in my neck of the woods and my husbands family lived in Granite, as we call it, for a long time! What a nice home to give some TLC too! And so close to St. Louis and all that it provides for a new historic home owner ! Wonderful!

Oh wow! I LOVE this home. In great shape for it's age. If I were young again, I would be all over this one!

[debhoeflinger]

Those dust catchers are great! This house is amazing, the woodwork and the fact the I don’t think I saw one crack in the walls is amazing. This is the perfect first time rehab home!

[rebeccajourney]

I almost cried when you showed that unpainted wood entry stair! The doors hardware is so lovely❣Oh, if only I were 25 years younger! I love her💕

[Beachbum]

Once again Laine, please don’t apologize for your appearance. You look great! I just appreciate your knowledge

[shellydehart]

Absolutely gorgeous of a home. I can’t believe in a 120 yrs no one ever painted the woodwork. That’s unbelievable in its self. You don’t see many homes even then to have those dust catchers in stairs… so cool. I was born in Illinois but I don’t think I could ever live through a winter there but that beautiful house is tempting. Loved it all. ♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

[judithham]

What a lovely home! I have been in and out of Granite City all of my adult years, but never seen or could imagine a beauty like this. That area is mainly a steel manufacturing town. Love this house. Thanks for the tour!

[shaprice]

This is a gorgeous house!!! The staircase was enough for me to fall in love.
