My version of a dream home is a pink Victorian house with a tower. Maybe in a better looking neighborhood compared to this one. I know these can be a pain to maintain, but it's well worth it for me.

Holy hell yesssss omg.

Pink Lady in Eureka, CA. Right across for the Carson Mansion, which is now home to The Ingomar Club.

Theres one down the street in cottage grove oregon.
motherfuckinmoonmoon
You know it's haunted.
msmarymac
I'm pretty sure it's been proven that every Victorian house is haunted.
VonSnootingham
This looks like something that fell out of Wes Anderson's brain. Except for the lack of symmetry, of course.
TakeMyWorfPlease
I live in a neighborhood of Victorian style homes built in '89/'90. There a pink one and a purple one on my street.

Get pre approved and do it. Quit buying coffee and tans and save up. It works! You got this!
F23q98
I don't buy coffee from coffee shops or get tans, and currently going through architecture school. Still my dream though!

This is identical to the house in the board game LIFE...

Come to Galveston! We've got lots for much cheaper than you'd find on the west coast.

Personally prefer the Midwest because we don't have hurricanes

Op should see my town about half of all the houses are victorian. It's gorgeous during Christmas. Rural towns are pretty.

I was really surprised to see a notification from this post.

I feel like there is a room in that house thats full of creepy Victorian dolls.

In a town in the woods at the top of a hill, there's a house where no one lives...
F23q98
Sounds like my Grandma's house (minus it being Victorian) She has some very scary dolls
NiftyNips
So what's with all the dream home posts lately?
ForgotMyOtherAcct
I qas just going to post this. I sure don't mind, but it's a bit odd.

NiftyNips
Ah ok. Thanks.

Paint it black and i'd take it
F23q98

Thanks for your reply :) Having owned a house and worked as a builder, ill take a concrete cube any time :)

That my friend is a manor not a house
F23q98
Or mansion. I suppose a house like this would have originally employed servants and caretakers
colombianofl27
Yep

One electrical outlet per room and the Historical Commission won't let you add any more. Pretty soon you will hate living there.
SeeUNextTues
Surge protector with a ton of outlets can fix that
poopwindowofopportunity
Live in historic district, no limit to interior changes. Only exterior.
Twinklepot
One electrical outlet = one giant gang extension lead (this is NOT advice, I am not an electrician ...)
F23q98
In my childhood home (1920s house) we do use power strips with surge protectors on occasion, but we don't use every single outlet

If you add more Romex behind the baseboards and get period-looking ceramic socket plates, they look lovely.

A pal of mine has a Victorian. She and the Mr redid the chair rails so some flip down to reveal sockets and ethernet ports.
spiderqueendemon
They throw costume LAN parties sometimes. Lovely couple. Only person I know who spends more time fixing their house than I do.
F23q98
I've lived in a house with limited electrical outlets and it really depends on what guidelines the historical commission has set for (1/2)
F23q98
the interiors of houses. Would definitely research what restrictions are present, because many exist for exteriors (2/2)
SamuthNBS
Is this Victorian?
F23q98
Yes, very much so
SamuthNBS
I suppose despite naming the style after the British monarch it shares nothing with Victorian architecture? Confusing!
F23q98
It is weird. In America, this is what we consider "Victorian" architecture http://www.oldhouses.com/styleguide/victorians
SamuthNBS
I see. Over here (guess where) St Pancras station is a good example of Victorian!

Malz42
Of course it isn't. It's in the USA, by location and of both aesthetic and material design is not like a Victorian house.
F23q98
In America, "Victorian" architecture refers to this: http://www.oldhouses.com/styleguide/victorians
Malz42
So, not Victorian, even by era some of those houses. May as well call it Grover Cleveland architecture.

Just another comment, I'm not talking about this specific house, but used this house as reference. Also I'm male

theres a bed and breakfast near me that looks exactly like this.

Go to Ferndale, Ca. Stay in the Gingerbread Mansion, have his time. Hoisin: went and stayed there just 90 days ago.
greatscottbatman
Why does your gender have anything to do with it? You like it. End of story x

We got a bunch of these old Victorian style houses just like this in the mildly hood area of San Diego.
Whoamioooooo
I thought this should be an unpopular opinion puffin but it got quite a few upvotes. To each his own.

This looks like a historical house in Flint Michigan.
IamNotaBlackMan
Pink is a mans colour.
F23q98
You are right, especially during and before the Victorian era
masturbationpanther
There's one in Wellsville NY. Your neighbors could be nazis, meth heads or both! Oh and ghosts, it's supposedly haunted.

Ooh, nifty website!
Evanrudeplz
Do you happen to know where this particular house is located? I swear I've seen it in person before but don't know where.
Bliggit
Lexington ky? There is one just like it
F23q98
I have been informed that it's located in Eureka, CA

Nothing wrong with being a dude who likes pink. I want a 1970 Challenger in pink.

Pink is a very good and flashy color for Victorians
thedevil
Uhhh... OP. Do you know where this house is? This looks like my hometown
F23q98
I've been told Eureka, CA
Avelaide
You have been told correctly. It is called The Pink Lady and sits across the street from The Carson Mansion.
