Stunning original trim, mantels, woodwork throughout

Anonymous
There are multiple original woodwork mantels. Needs some work but is one of the nicer listings I've seen in a while.

I'm shocked it hasn't been painted over throughout the past century. If someone stripped and restored all this woodwork, it is an insane project.

Nice that it is original, but definitely not my taste. But not much from that era is.

Yes, I do like that.

To each their own.

Gorgeous. I love unpainted wood, as well as the stained glass and the enclosed entry. That stair rail is fantastic.

I wish more houses had protective trim on the wall corners, although I've never seen it done exactly like that. I tried to do cased openings wherever I could in my house, for the same reason.

three months and that will be white and grey and sterile and people will be all "ooh, so pretty."

Yes, that staircase alone would be a huge undertaking! It is possible that they restored the house - the radiators are stripped and the William Morris details throughout are a nod to that. Some of the shelving also looks new, like they were trying to match the original style. I hope a rich person with taste buys it...

The mantels are not doing it for me but I'm obsessed with the stairs.

A beautiful non-white kitchen. I like that it's not new.
