While modern farmhouses are crazy popular and sleek contemporaries are appealing to many, there\u2019s just something about a classic Victorian that makes you think of hearth, home, and simpler days of comfort and grace.<\/p>\n

Who knew they could be so easy on the bank account as well? We were surprised to find these five creatively colored Victorians, all topping the century mark, completely or partly renovated, and priced well below $400,000.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re handy, you might consider a flip. But you might find them so charming that you want to move your family in and stay for a while.<\/p>\n

Regardless of your own real estate wants and needs, you\u2019ll find it fascinating to view these five vibrant Victorians. You\u2019ll be astounded that both age and beauty come in such reasonably priced packages.<\/p>\n

520 Central Ave SE, Le Mars, IA<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $300,000
\nBest of both worlds:<\/strong> This three-bedroom, three-bath Victorian has all the charm of 1910, when it was originally built, and all the convenience and style of a designer home today.<\/p>\n

The woodwork\u2014doors, floors, staircase, and beyond\u2014is glorious, as is that signature turret, which contains a windowed breakfast nook on the first level and a lovely bay-windowed bedroom on the second.<\/p>\n

One of its finer features is the recently remodeled kitchen. This one has a breakfast bar, granite countertops, stylish white cabinets, and stainless-steel appliances. There\u2019s even a separate laundry room.<\/p>\n

This home also boasts central air, newer electrical, and plumbing, so you\u2019ll feel comfortable there any time of year\u2014especially snuggled up in that cozy window seat with the sunshine streaming through the gorgeous stained-glass window right above it.<\/p>\n

527 W Park St, Stockton, CA<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $325,000
\nBrimming with potential:<\/strong> It isn\u2019t often you find a lovely Victorian built in 1895 that\u2019s fine as is and that also has the potential to be a real showpiece and even a source of income.<\/p>\n

The home has 1,520 square feet of living space now, and there\u2019s potentially room to expand. There\u2019s a giant, unfinished basement with windows and workbenches that is ripe for refurbishing, and the home\u2019s 8,276-square-foot lot is large enough for a pool or an accessory dwelling unit, the listing notes.<\/p>\n

Inside the three-bedroom, 1.5-bath home, there are original hardwood floors and doors, stained-glass windows, and a remarkable fireplace with an elaborately carved wood surround.<\/p>\n

And you can\u2019t beat the location, which is within minutes of downtown Stockton, the Stockton Arena and Ballpark, Victory Park, and Dameron Hospital.<\/p>\n

604 S Barnes St, Mason, MI<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $350,000
\nA star in the making:<\/strong> This is the type of home reality TV designers are dying to find, renovate, and flip for a big profit. True, it needs a little work, but when you consider its roomy size of 3,865 square feet and its gorgeous original features, you might just be tempted to take it on yourself.<\/p>\n

Built in 1887, the 20-room mansion features original woodwork, stained-glass windows, marble fireplaces, a claw-foot tub, tile imported from England, and three sets of pocket doors. There are also fun features like a lovely antique bar and a quirky extra kitchen in the basement, hidden behind a bookcase.<\/p>\n

The property is zoned for multifamily use, but it also could be converted back into the bed-and-breakfast it had been some years ago. There\u2019s also a large attic, which could be turned into more living space.<\/p>\n

The lovely landscaping includes peonies, hydrangeas, tulips, lilacs, roses, and a weeping cherry and two apple trees. It\u2019s destined to be someone\u2019s paradise, both inside and out.<\/p>\n

236 N East St, Dadeville, AL<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $249,900
\nBargain of the century:<\/strong> This gem was originally built in 1900 and remodeled and restored just a few years ago. It has two stories, 12-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and original hardwood floors.<\/p>\n

There are three bedrooms and two baths in 2,411 square feet of living space. There are also plenty of spaces where you can relax with family and friends, including a wraparound porch, a living room with a fireplace, a sizable family room, and a sunny, eat-in kitchen.<\/p>\n

The half-acre lot is within walking distance of the downtown Dadeville area, with its restaurants, shops, services, and places of worship. It\u2019s also just a little over an hour from Montgomery.<\/p>\n

1352 Forsyth St, Macon, GA<\/a><\/h2>\n

Price: $244,900
\nPretty in pink:<\/strong> So much Southern charm and grace for such a low price! There are five bedrooms and four baths in 4,050 square feet of living space in this classic Queen Anne Victorian. It sits on a manicured lawn surrounded by a white picket fence, in the heart of downtown Macon.<\/p>\n

OK, so the 1890 build might have seen better days. It\u2019s described as a \u201cdiamond in the rough,\u201d according to the listing. But the place still has original 12-foot ceilings, detailed crown molding, fireplaces, and an elegant front porch.<\/p>\n

The home was once divided into four separate apartments and was popular with nearby Mercer University students. But it could also accommodate a multigeneration family and it\u2019s within walking distance of shops, restaurants, services, and public transportation.<\/p>\n
