“With adorable details, these elaborate estates look good enough to eat.
Victorian homes aren’t known for being “subtle.” Even those that lack the vibrant color scheme of San Francisco’s Painted Ladies (perhaps the most iconic examples of this type of architectural style) have incredible curb appeal that makes a grand impression. It’s all thanks to gingerbread, the charming nickname for the exquisite wood trim that you rarely find in more modern Victorian houses. Back in the day, you could order these types of trim via the new technology of catalogs or replicate them yourself thanks to pattern books. As a result of this trend, no two homes from the Victorian era are exactly alike.
If you long for the days when quirky details were a source of pride and not something to be removed in a renovation, these 11 adorable Victorian homes for sale in Nashville, TN, Jamestown, RI, and more just might be your little slice of heaven. And once you’ve drooled over these homes with gingerbread trim, check in on GingerFred to see how his family survives the 12-day house hunt.
