Before and After of This c.1889 Alabama Gothic Victorian

Check out the Before and After of this c.1889 Alabama Gothic Revival. Beyond unique is how to describe the exterior of this home in Alabama. Love the imbricated shingles, sleeping porch and sunburst vergeboards. The seven-bedroom, four-home sits on a corner lot, and from the moment we see the carved front door, we know we are in for a treat.  Note the wainscoting, pocket doors, hardwood floors and lovely staircase, and that is just the entrance hall! Then we have stunning fireplace mantels, transoms, loads of clawfoot tubs, eat-in kitchen and more.

We first featured this home back in February 2024. It sold, and the new owner has completely redone the home. The price is now well beyond what we feature at Old Houses Under $50K and Beyond, but the new owner thought it might interest reders to see the AFTER, located at the bottom half of the page.
