Tasteful Friends: peeling-paint Victorian in Fleischmanns, NY

I really don't understand the black house paint trend.

It looks like no one has lived there for 50 years, yet the inside is relatively clean and the house hasn’t been trashed. Odd. Maybe the residents were all suddenly captured by aliens.?

10 bedrooms, but only 3000 square feet? Something is wrong with the math.

Where's that yeast smell coming from?

🆙Too many orthodox Jewish neighbors .

R3: Probably reflects old servants quarters or a life as a rooming house.

Great bones. A motivated buyer with a good sized budget could turn it into a real stunner.

What's on its Victrola in the living room?

OP, why did you put the word haunted in quotes?

When Did Barnabas move out?

First time ever on Tasteful Friends threads.

Sold.

Worth the million it and the property need. A real find. Even the location is perfect.

Would you know of any good-stock rental retail space in the village? Mr. Barlow is a collector and he would like to open a fine antique shop.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to Woodstock for that Mr. Straker.

The lower interior rooms are pure Norman Bates and his Mom.

Then the punchline of the cheery, ok, garish, loud neon wall colors on the upper floors is witty.

I think OP put quotes around the word “haunted” because if you look close at some of the photos, you can see painted and built interior details like spiderwebs on window corners, and fake raven shadows on the walls, and skeletons. Probably inhabited by kooky arty queens at some point.

It looks like a Scooby Doo set.

That’s quite cheap-it must be a disaster.

R1- That and the trend towards overpriced luxury cars with the black FLAT sheen less paint jobs.

A magnificent ruin. Would take a lot of love and money to bring it back. And yes, that town has become an Jewish Orthodox enclave.
