Fixer Upper on Half an Acre! Circa 1845 in Pennsylvania. $194,900

A Colonial fixer upper that has some good bones! Check out those wide plank floors upstairs. Just imagine what those could look like with a little bit of sanding and polishing. I think that I would try to keep that green trim upstairs because I love the character it brings. Bright and earthy colors will always be where I lean. It has high ceilings so I can imagine some nice wallpaper and a chandelier making the living room feel quite grand. I love the potential this house has.
