Abstract: In the 20th century, the name gingerbread rose to fame and has since become a delightful indie style.

1. 201 Robert Toombs Street, Washington, Georgia


Price: $750,000.


Intricate detailing, carved balustrades and an ornate cupola make this four-bedroom home stand out.


Built in 1880 on a 5,250-square-foot lot, this Victorian home also has some period features inside.


The charming wood and stained glass front door gives a futuristic feel.


10 fireplaces, pine floors, built-ins and high ceilings.


The home sits on 1.7 acres and is within walking distance of the town square.

2. 5335 Old Pagelyn Road, Radford, Virginia


Price: $149,000.


This three-bedroom house has been described by local architects as the most exquisite gingerbread architecture and design accents in the county, according to the listing.


The house was built in 1861 and needs some work. While the exterior of the house has been refreshed, the interior finishing touches will fall to the next owner.


Completed improvements include a secure foundation, new floor joists, a new exterior paint job and replacement windows.


Overlooking the creek, this 1-acre lot includes a former art studio that could be converted into a guesthouse.

3. 4116 Federer St, St. Louis


Price: $285,000.


This lovely four-bedroom brick home looks like something you'd find in a children's storybook.


Built in 1940, the home is reasonably priced and has a unique arched front door.


The two-story home boasts 1,690 square feet of living space and stained glass windows, preserved hardwood floors, and vaulted ceilings throughout.


The living room has a stone fireplace and there are two bedrooms on each level.


A rear sun porch overlooks the fenced backyard and two-car garage.

4. 1828 Kalurna Ct, Orlando, Florida


Price: $799,000.


This relatively modern home was built in 1988, but it has the hallmarks of vintage gingerbread style, including steeply pitched roofs, carved railings and lacquer-like accents.


The three-bedroom, 2,500-square-foot home boasts Victorian-style details such as 10-foot ceilings, wood floors, built-in bookshelves and a vintage fireplace surround in the living room.


The modern design includes energy-efficient windows and several French doors that let in plenty of natural light.


The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, a lovely breakfast bar, and a separate dining area with a cozy gas fireplace.


The screened back porch overlooks the built-in fire pit and patio area.
