Fixer-Uppers
by Teresa Iafolla. All photos courtesy of Hunter Realty Group In the cozy, northeastern town of East Hampton, Connecticut sits a beautiful old mansion waiting for a new owner. Homes in this neck of the woods typically cost a small (or not so small) fortune, so for just $299,500 this is a relative steal. The catch? According to the listing, "the property has freeze damage will not qualify for...
by Teresa Iafolla This darling Friday Fixer-Upper comes with over 156 years of history and a great story! Built in 1859, the Delap-Fyffe Farmstead was built as a wedding present from David Delap to his wife, Alli (Can you imagine a better wedding present?). True to the DIY spirit, David cut the wood for the house himself and had it polished off in the nearby town. ...
by Teresa Iafolla Hidden away in Lumber Bridge, North Carolina, this old-time beauty is just begging to be fixed up! And at only $150,000, it’s the steal you’ve been waiting for. Those gorgeous Queen Anne touches (look at that porch!) just need a little TLC to really shine. And with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and over 2 acres of verdant landscape, you have plenty of room to work your transformation....

It's been a long while since CIRCA celebrated a Fixer-Upper ... so let's get back into the swing of things in a big way, with the Sleighton School. Located in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, this is more than one house, down on its luck, in need of an ambitious owner to rescue it from old house purgatory. THIS IS AN ENTIRE CAMPUS. We're talking multiple buildings spread across hundreds of acres, with dormers...
by Amanda Davis I love old brick houses, and better yet when they’re in Virginia. That state just oozes charm! I was there just last week and its historic buildings never fail to amaze me. Today’s fixer upper is in Crockett, which is located just off I-81 and about halfway between Roanoke and Bristol. It’s on the market for $72,500 and features 4 bedrooms, 1 bath, and over 2,800 square...
by Amanda Davis Summer’s in full swing, and for many of us that means heading to the beach and soaking in some sun. And for those of us who’d also love to sneak in some time fixing up a great old house, I have the best of both worlds for you today: a fixer-upper near the Jersey Shore! This little cutie pie is on the market for $69,000 and sits on just under an acre of land at 727 Dennisville...
by Amanda Davis I can’t get enough of this house in Eufaula, Alabama. That facade is a true beauty! All the great historic details seem to be there, down to the wood windows and the cute porch. Don’t porches and the South work so well together? I love the sidewalk in front too - say hi to your neighbor from the comfort of your wicker rocking chair! I really love modest farmhouses like this gal...
by Amanda Davis (photo by Teemu08) Today I thought we’d travel to Rockford, Illinois to dream about fixing up this Victorian Gothic beauty selling for just $32,500! Don’t you just love that woodwork at the front gable? And that tower? The home sits on a corner lot in the Haight Village Historic District, which means it’s surrounded by lots of other great old houses. Trust me, I checked! ...
by Amanda Davis Well, hello there! I’m back with another Friday Fixer-Upper, and this week I’ve set my sights on this little miss in Laurel, Mississippi. Isn’t she a cutie? And she’s selling for just $22,500! ...
