Dreamy Places: Victorian in PA and Turkish Cave House

I heart the NY Times Real Estate Section. Here's some pics of two houses that caught my eye:

First, this Victorian is pretty freakin' cool:

WHAT: A five-bedroom, two-bath Victorian

HOW MUCH: $517,000

SIZE: 2,666 square feet (not including the enclosed front porch or the third-floor artist’s studio)

PRICE PER SQUARE FOOT: $193.92

SETTING: Located about 12 miles west of Philadelphia, Media is a compact town — about 5,400 residents in less than a square mile — with several buildings, like this house, dating to the mid-19th century. A shopping-and-dining street has a 1920s performing arts center and a regularly running trolley. The commuter train stops about two miles away; the ride to Philadelphia’s central station takes about a half-hour.

INSIDE: Built circa 1865, this house has been renovated piecemeal over the past 19 years by the current owner, who widened doorways between rooms to open the space and stripped several walls to expose raw brick. The house retains its original chestnut woodwork in the foyer and hardwood floors throughout. On the main level, both the living and dining rooms have fireplaces. The family room, which has French doors that open onto the back deck, was a recent addition. The current owner put his own touches on several rooms: the kitchen, for example, has handmade cabinets built from antique furniture, with custom stained-glass panes; 1840s tiles in the backsplash; and a center island built from part of a church altar. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, and two bedrooms on the third floor, the former attic, one of which is used as an artist’s studio. The second floor also has a small kitchen, left over from a time when the house was a duplex.

OUTDOOR SPACE: There’s a back deck and a yard. There’s also small front yard and an enclosed front porch.

The second one is a house in Cappadocia Turkey
