It's the really, really old ones that get me every time. I want an old house that feels like every single piece of wood inside was hand-hewn. I want to feel the stories lurking around corner. I was to go way, way, waaaayyy back in time. So this $79,000 house, which dates back to the 1700s, feels just like home to me.  ...

I don't know exactly WHAT draws me to sad & lonely old houses just crying out for TLC. But whatever it is, I'm perfectly fine with it.

by Elizabeth Finkelstein I'm enamored with this stately, $79,999 home in Franklinton, NC, which is loaded with goodies (pocket doors! mantels galore! ahhh!) just waiting for some TLC.  ...

by Elizabeth Finkelstein I'm a sucker for an Italianate-style home, thanks to my years in Brooklyn spent ogling rows upon rows of beautiful brownstones. I love the proportions, the perfect mix of straight lines and luscious curves, the exaggerated paired brackets, and of course the cupolas! This fixer-upper is located in the tiny village of Interlaken, New York. I checked out Google Street View, and...
