Cute or Creepy? A Kentucky Victorian Is Back on the Market, Sporting a Spooky New Look for Halloween

Calling all Halloween lovers! This might be the creepiest home listing around.

If you’re just dying to buy it, the Lexington, KY, home is back on the market with a spooky new look for $799,000.

From the jack-o’-lanterns lining the front steps to the grand staircase teeming with tarantulas and witch hats, every inch of this 3,868-square-feet house has been cleverly decorated for the haunted holiday.

Victorians sometimes look their scary best around this time of year, and these homeowners clearly leaned into the Halloween theme. The frighteningly fabulous photos have caused a frenzy on social media.

If you can see past the petrifying props, there is actually a beautiful, historic four-bedroom home.

Richardsonian Romanesque

This home is a rare Richardsonian Romanesque. It was recently renovated from top to bottom, but it still features original woodwork, hardwood flooring, fireplaces with ornate details, and pocket doors.

In May, we reported that this European-inspired, 19th-century home designed by Henry Hobson Richardson was on the market for $875,000. So its current price reduction of $76,000 is a scary good deal! (The current homeowners will scream in delight, too, if they get their asking price, which is more than triple the $237,000 they paid in 2019.)

The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and comes with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.

Featuring a combination of modern amenities and vintage style, the spacious and elegant home includes a third-floor family room with a 20-foot ceiling with exposed beams. A small, circular room clad in stone is the perfect place to play board games—or host a séance.

Out back, there’s a patio and fire pit, perfect for enjoying some s’mores while telling ghost stories.
