FOR SALE: 1898 Victorian only $58,000!

Welcome to beautiful Kane Illinois and our Historic House Tour of one of the cutest Victorian Fixer-Uppers you’ve ever seen. This lovely little house reminds us of the house in Disney’s “Up”. It has the possibility to be just as darling with a little love from you! What colors would you paint her?

Sitting on nearly an acre this home is in nearly original condition, with all its important original features in place and just waiting for you to come in and bring her back to life. Filled with its original eight-foot doors, trim, moldings, baseboards and all of the Eastlake hardware, this home is ripe for renovation. The hardware alone is worth the asking price!

Currently the home is two-bedroom, one bath, but with a little imagination could be made into a three bedroom two bath that would include an amazing main suite on the main floor.

The foundation is solid, and the electrical is updated. There are a certainly number of major projects to be undertaken, but the house is solid and those can be done as time and budget allow. If you love Historic Victorian homes and are longing for a slower pace of life, this might be just the project for you!

As a bonus there is a HUGE workshop in place!  As rehabbers we know that the one thing you need most in projects like this is a place to actually DO your project. There is plumbing run to the workshop, and only needs access put in.

This is truly a DIY dream, and could so easily be returned to its original glory!

As always, we are not the realtors for the home, make no commission from the video or from the sale of the home and make no guarantees regarding the condition of the property. You can reach the realtor at the number here.

I actually like the current color of the house 💙

[kimberlysusie]

Oh, how beautiful! The view alone is worth it! My color choice? Butter yellow!

The pocket doors and fireplace mantle alone are worth $58, 000. You see very few houses like this in Florida because the tropical climate keeps termites so darn happy. In northern states it gets cold enough to kill them off or at least keep them at bay. I like the current color on the house but lilac and white would look great, too—like something right out of Mary Poppins and Cherry Tree Lane. 😊

So beautiful and charming. It’s a tiny Victorian but it’s got all that elegance.

[lindaroyal]

It's an adorable house, looks like a doll house.
Love all the original features and... unpainted woodwork!

[evangelinestewart]

A soft baby yellow and lots of flowers and roses outside around the house and in a garden!

[claudiamann]

What a beautiful Victorian. Love all the original molding, pocket doors, and hardware. I hope someone will give it the love that it needs.

Obviously I'm partial to yellow houses, but yes, I could see a beautiful periwinkle/lilac color. It's amazing to me how old modest homes have so much fanciness. Nowadays everything is plain plain plain -- and folks rip out the fanciness to put in the plain! HGTV is a scourge. Even old mouldings are round and chunky and the newer ones with the same profile are flatter. Thank you, once again, for this channel.

I'd paint her yellow. Love this house.

[robbinbruno]

Such a lovely lady! When you asked what color do you see her I said out loud.. soft lavender!😂😂before you even said what you would paint it! We must be soul sisters for sure!😊

[johngarcia]

The moment i saw the thumbnail, i said "this is a beautiful home" i actually like it in its current color.

[JulyMoon]

This house is stunning. The doors and hardware that are still intact are so beautiful. Houses like this were built to last.

[gailsprangers]

Lovely little house. I definetly see it in a custard yellow in the lower portion with a deeper yellow on the upper and keep the white trim. Don't forget the flowers!

[cherylsmith]

How fortunate no one painted that lovely woodwork

What an amazing home, i grew up in a house that had pocket doors, crown moldings, not as tall moldings & doors but the same designs. Our kitchen had a small cabinet that held a large sink & 2 door cabinet that hung on the wall above the sink for our dishes, the silverware went in a drawer below the sink. Tho best thing about our house was our pantry it went floor to ceiling, the bottom half was all drawers of different sizes which stopped at my waist about 4 1/2 ft, there was pull out wooden cutting boards every 2 1/2 drawers, then from the stop of the drawers up to the ceiling were shelves of all different sizes to store all sorts of items, cookware, bakeware, food- cans, containers for rice, pasta etc. It was just amazing ! My color choice is either how it looks now, or white with black trim, or the grey with black trim. I'd absolutely want to restore it to it's former glory since some of it is still there in the woodworking, pocket doors, the kitchen has a great size, room for lots more storage.

The workshop is truly such a bonus!! Bill would be in heaven to spread out his tools and be organized! Appreciate all that you and Kevin do share these gems with us all ♥️

[iamwhoiamd]

Bright yellow but Lilac is gorgeous too..

[philipstory]

wow what a beauty! The upstairs has so much potential. I see her as blue but lilac would be stunning! Also if anyone has priced having a shop built lately, the shop is so worth it!

[valkyrie]

Love it! Cream with lilac and green trim would work for me .

[nadinemasteller]

The woodwork and hardware in this house makes it well worth the purchase price. There has to be someone who would want to fix this place up and love it.
