February 26th, 2008 @ 1:12 am by Cliffe | Sorted Historic Buildings |
“Cranky” Kate Forneigh alerted me to the existence of this Queen Anne Craftsman in need a craftsman. The 1908 fixer-upper at 1108 West Blaine is selling for a cool $539,950. Yes, half a million for a house in *this* condition. It’s Queen Anne — don’t go expecting something reasonable now.

With just a quick read on the house, you can tell it needs a lot of work. The view of the back section of the home from the alley.

The front yard is located directly above the detached garage. It is very likely that this front porch was enclosed as an addition at some point.

Box beam ceiling, built-in cabinets, stained molding — all of the Craftsman hallmarks are here. The kitchen is very dated and could use a complete remodel.

Opposite angle of the living and dining area. The fireplace has potential, though the wood paneling and ceiling tiles could stand to be cut. A peak inside the bathroom reveals some 1970′s f ashions w aiting for a craftsman.

    What a nightmare! The disparate, hideous architectural “enhancements” have all but destroyed it’s classic elements, inside and out. As Dr. Phil would say, “What were they thinkin’ ?” The living-dining room woodwork, floors, and cabinetry are all that’s left of its original splendor. Sad to see.

    Where the brick veneer meets the asbestos siding, combined with the wide angle perspective, makes for one freaky image!

    I agree with RPH, the enhancements suck. Ceiling fans, ugly kitchen cabinets, hasn’t been kept up. Queen Anne or not this house is so not worth the asking price.

    I agree w/ the commenters here – the select pics I saw originally led me to believe there was some restoration hope here… but not at this price. :( Hopefully someone will at least reclaim the built-ins before they tear it down. Sorry for the wild goose chase!

    It’s in my neighborhood and it is a classic P.O.S.
