I would make so many changes to this house. Some of the changes would include, changing the title to my name, replacing their clothes with mine, bringing my own bed linen ...Well I guess that's all haha I LOVE THIS HOUSE!!!
@@OurRestorationNation Thank you for showing us how magnificent is the historic American architecture. Sure we have plenty of castles and palaces here in Europe, but in America, you have it all that and often times better for residential purposes of regular people. And that's fascinating.
It’s location leaves a lot to be desired. I-30 is your view out the front door and theirs a sign business in your back yard. Location, location, location.
@@Castleknight I do not care what is around the house. What I care about is how the house is magnificent. Here we talk about historical property, not a newly constructed house in a secluded area.
There ought to be a law against changing a house like that. The people who bought my 1912 house have ruined it. It had one owner before I had it. I wish I'd never sold it.
Oh Holly that’s HEARTBREAKING!!! Just for future reference you can place interior historic easements on a property. You’d need to work with the local Historic District or your states SHPO, but it can be done
This brought me to tears, because this is in my hometown of Little Rock, Arkansas. I left there in 1989 when I got married, and I haven’t been back since 2007. I remember seeing this home, too. It’s been incredibly cared for, and I hope its next owners will do the same and retain all its original features.
I wondered where this house, was located. Now I know, and understand why there are window grilles over all the windows and what looks like a grizzly bear-proof grille over the front door. Wouldn't live in Little Rock if you gave me the whole dang town.
@@jamesdalton3082 It was getting pretty bad even before I left there in 1989, but I still had family living there until 2008 when my parents moved up to northern Arkansas. When we would visit them, it always bothered me to see how seedy and rundown nearly the whole place had gotten. Only the area out west along Chenal Parkway was halfway decent. It makes me sad.
@@rneustel388believe me, I know. I rent the house I grew up in from my parents after they moved in their retirement house. What was once a white working class neighborhood with little crime, now I have been stuck up with a gun 1 block from my house by 2 black males, had someone shot in the leg in the driveway behind my house, 3 weeks ago there were 8 gunshots directly in front of my house. I constantly have to pick up trash around the house. It's really sad and diversity is not a strength, it's the source of destruction. I'm in the lower end of northeast Philadelphia. It was a great neighborhood to grow up in, now it's destroyed.
Quite possibly the only time I’ve seen original wallpaper still in use. And the clever use of an island to incorporate modern appliances, enabling the windows and doors to stay right where they belong.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMETHING I DON'T NEED TO CHANGE AND JUST MOVE MY THINGS IN AND ENJOY THE ABSOLUTE BEAUTY OF WHAT THIS HOME HAS TO OFFER!!!!!
I’m nearly speechless. It’s miraculous (not using that lightly) that the home still has so much of its original features. How? (Seriously, how? Lol) This is just so very cool. Thanks for showing us.
The house that I purchased and live in at the moment was built in 1856. I have purchased multiple homes and sold them by myself. I have to say that I believe the house chooses us instead of us choosing the house
This was remarkable. And Victorian homes of this style are definitely NOT my first architectural/interior design choice. For someone who usually does not gravitate to Victorian wallpaper design and coloration, I was astounded by the beauty of that original wallpaper in the main salon. Thank you for showcasing this important piece of history. This home definitely deserves a steward who will love and maintain and protect it.
OMG!!! I was already in love with the fence and the outside! Then I saw the first gasolier and screamed. Then screamed again at the second one. This house has literally taken my breath away! I wouldn't change a thing. What a treasure!!! 💖💜💖
The house is an absolute dream. I worked for a man in the early 1980's who restored historic homes according to State laws. It was quite the learning experience. I remember making milk paint with buttermilk and blueberries. haha
I love that due to wallpaper, paint and building materials becoming widely available, this house is flooded with color. Everything is a warm, inviting tone that feels cozy or elegant depending on the room's function. It really is a breathtaking house.
I love watching these videos from the UK. I so wish the USA would cherish its history instead of demolishing and replacing. From what I can gather there is a real hunger for historical buildings in your country. We have them in abundance because we value the craftsmanship of previous generations and adapting that to fit modern life. I wish you all the best in your preservation travels. I’m currently renovating my home in Yorkshire built in 1788, so it’s quite new around these parts!
As US tourists we traveled around Yorkshire about five years ago and we LOVED the stone houses and barns like we used to see in All Creatures Great and Small. On fixer upper shows from the UK I am astounded at the number of row homes that all look the same for blocks and blocks, with front "gardens" that are often completely cemented and indifferent architectural style. It's really the same in the US. While there ARE lots of really old homes in the US, there are others that have been completely remodeled a number of times. In my hometown in PA someone on the main street removed all the more recent exterior wall coverings, taking the house back to its actual LOGS as in a log cabin. I LOVE the look of that. It is a real stand out. The same street has gracious wooden and brick Victorians with turrets and interesting side porches. And then away from the center of town are Victorian row homes that have been modernized with vinyl siding and then newer homes from 1920s to brand new. It depends where one is located in the US really. We don't always demolish and replace. However, my grandparents' Queen Anne which I remember very well was demolished in the late 1960s. I can still remember its interesting features. But it would have taken a lot of money to renovate it and its kitchen and bath would have taken a complete gutting. It just wasn't worth it to anyone who would have wanted to fix it up because it was on a busy street with more and more businesses moving in. Nowadays that area of town is not very pleasing to the eye; there are lots of asphalted lots used for a car dealership that moved or went out of business so those asphalt lots just sit there. Ugly. They should create a park, quaint colonial-style shops with business space above, even a small bandstand would be awesome, so that it becomes a town gathering spot instead of horrible wasted space. But it is a bit off the beaten path and they don't have the funds to put into building and planning something like that.
I agree with you. The historic houses in my town are in a bad area. Or the big ones owned by rich people. We had a gorgeous old courthouse from the 1800s that was torn down and rebuilt in the 70s. It's hideous and looks like a prison.
This is the most beautiful home I have ever seen. I love original construction and the art that it represents. This video will be one of my favorites. I'm saying a prayer that whoever bought this property will maintain it's integrity. Thank you so very much for this precious video.
Back before & after the revolution, in homes up north there would also be heavy drapes over the inside of exterior doors to keep drafts out & act as extra insulation. I nevereven realized this until I swathe series "John Adams" where the set designers were meticulous in recreating the period and homes.
That front parlor is amazing! I've never seen faux marble iron mantles with majolica tile before. I could just stand in that room and stare at the details for hours.
This house is an amazing time capsule. When I saw the gasoliers, I thought, “no those can’t be real flames!” but they are! This house should be a museum, if only to protect it from any “modernists” who want to change it. I hope this house gets an owner who appreciates her original details and treasures.. ❤
35 years ago we moved to Camden AR around the corner from The Chidester House, where parts of North and South were filmed. For a birthday gift my husband took me on a tour of the Quapaw Quarter in LR, and we stayed at the historic Capitol Hotel. Thank you for this beautiful tour!
I absolutely LOVE watching your exploring historic home segments. You teach as you move through the homes. Its like attending an architectural appreciation class with every tour. I am learning so much. I also watch abandoned old home videos and say to myself what you say, there really is no reason to tear down a beautiful old home. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
These old homes have so many memories? I love them! Be kind to these homes and the people who love them? I grew up in and old Salt Box home as a child? It had a cooking crane in the fireplace. There was a graveyard on the property.
When i was a kid growing up my grandparents owned and lived in "the edgar haymond house", "haunted haymond", in west Virginia. It was built in 1895. Beautiful house. Fireplace in every room. Two staircases. 3 floors and a basement. It had the original wallpaper all through the house. There was a bad spot my grandma had replaced on the main stairs and she had to order it from over seas. She got an exact replacement. It also had all the original chandeliers and they were half gas lights and half electric. 6 globes total. Grand old house. A person bought it after they sold it and started gutting it years later. Tool the fireplace mantle out ect. Owners now got most of them back and restored it. Its still a beautiful home. They do ghost hunts in it now. Its been on tv from ghost hunting shows if you want to look it up and see the house. Lots of great memories for me in that home.
It's amazing how these beautiful Victorian homes were engineered without computers and built without power tools. Builders today cannot recreate what they did back then.
Whoever the owner is.. I love you.. I LOVE these homes.. what happened in Detroit.. my lord i went there for work and drove for hours looking at the beautiful Victorian homes in 2011 that were falling apart. Some saved but many gone.
If I was Rich I would move from my state buy that house and love every space of it, do my reading, knitting crocheting and enjoy my tea and coffee and enjoy every little space in my new home, while keeping it the same not changing a thing and learning new things in life. This was if I was rich, but Happy Holidays to everyone and to the new owner of this house. Love from Washington State.
Only a poet could put into words this home. A new vocabulary should be devised to describe this house! This home iis absolutely a heart stopper! I do not have words, as I am mesmerized! Thank you so much for this wonderment!
I wish my sister could have seen this. She loved older homes and antiques. She collected many pictures. We used to go hunting for bargains. This video was great.
What a magnificent house. To believe it’s stood for 150 years n some things still original to this day is amazing. You can tell it was well maintained to its glory. The size of the bedrooms were huge. Don’t find that today. It’s a beautiful home n very well priced. It makes me giddy knowing there’s still many historic homes left. Loved it!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍🌟🌟
oh my goodness! what a delight! the new owners that buy this home will have to feel it in their bones and basically be time travelers that have been looking for just this place. It's a literal time machine. So well done and kept. The wood work, the mantles, wow!!!
Hi, I've really been enjoying your videos lately ❤ Your channel only adds to my appreciation of restoration. This house is so lovely. My kinda Victorian 😊 Thank you for your videos.
I LOVE the Captain & Cora Wilk’s chair’s in the study! I had a pair I really enjoyed & they were originals! Love the gasoliers, fireplaces, saved carpet now hanging up! LOVE IT! It’s so beautiful! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love that I don't see everything painted white. And I love that room painted with those trees. Beautiful I I have a bathroom with all white tile , I don't recommend it, unless you have a maid lol
Oh my! I am amazed 😍 What a beautiful, beautiful home! I would just love to be able to spend a couple of hours in this house looking at all the stunning original craftsmanship. To get to live in such a home would be an honor. I hope the house is purchased by someone who truly appreciates it and keeps it as is! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I LOVED this video! I learn so much from you and I am utterly in awe of your knowledge and skills. I always keep a notepad close by when watching your videos so I can write down ideas for my own homes. Keep up the great work, love love love!
I will be marking this date down as the day I fell in love!!! Love seeing the gasoliers, fretwork etc. etc. I would not change a single thing I've seen so far!! I feel like I'm witnessing history here! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
I don't think I could ever live there but it's incredible. What an amazing story of how long it was kept in the original family and how much was preserved.
I have always wanted a Victorian home since I saw them in the books my parents would read to me when I was a young girl! I also wanted to make Victorian Doll Houses! I can’t wait to view your website! That seems to be my favorite era for home architecture & furniture! ♥️
Oh my goodness I’m officially dead now - this is my dream home😍😍😍 The gasoliers, the wall colors, fireplaces, fabulous wallpaper and can a girl ever have enough portieres? I think not😉 I hope it gets an owner who respects and loves all its incredible beauty☺️
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. I just kept thinking how great it would be to see you giving us the tour in period clothing. I'm assuming the foundation must be really level to still have all of the original wallpaper without tears and cracks. Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Oh to have the money to afford and upkeep such beauty! I love Victorian, and just Antique/Vintage housing and lifestyles in general, so much! I am SO glad I have come across your channel, thank you for fighting to preserve the beauty and splendor of our past! 🥰🤍
Wow.... What a Stunner! Your videos are always so carefully and thoughtfully and tastefully done. You appear as comfortable in front of the camera as if you'd been doing it all of your life!
I wish this beautiful untouched Victorian home was not for sale ! It honestly should belong to a preservation organization for period perfect homes ! God I hope this beautiful gem gets the right buyer !!! 🙏🙏🙏
I want to tell both of you how much I enjoy your programs! Laine I am a geek too, always have been so your program is one of my favorites! Thank you both so much for the travel you have invested to bring us these beautiful homes some for sale, some not. I was raised in a family surrounded by history, antiques, precious China, valuable keepsakes so it is so wonderful for me to continue to enjoy & learn about architecture, restoration, correct terms for different periods of architecture and seeing even similar furniture I grew up with in some of the lovely homes. Again, thank you so much for creating this most enjoyable program!❤
I love this video. It was a nice surprise the sponsor add done by your husband. Flawless transition and very natural. I did not expect that. Beautifully done. Love the house!!!
I thought this house was out of this world 🌎 I’m sure by the time we saw this restoration home it probably has been sold but I hope whoever bought it appreciate it value I personally love ❤️ and I’adore houses like this with the antique furniture including i price of the sale it is awesome because it is preserving American history and heritage great find my favorite place you have shown so far of the queen Victorian style is tony Curtis home I cried when I saw you show it it has the most beautiful and amazing antique furniture and it’s interior and exterior so original heart ❤️ 🇺🇸😇👼👍✝️✡️☮️🌎❤️👍💯
I have a 1899 Queen Anne 6k Sq ft. It is my passion to keep it original. The only thing that would make the house better would be better drapes throughout the place. All my windows and partitions are covered in velvet draperies.
Goodness! Most people will think I'm crazy, but I LOVE that hall! That is one thing about more modern house plans that I hate-- dark, narrow halls, relying on the ambient light from the rooms. I'm sorry. But to me, you need natural light from windows and space in a hall. And the pantry off the kitchen is glorious! In fact, that lay out reminds me very much of a house I lived in when I was child. It had a walk-in pantry and beside it was a door to the back hall. I'm not sure I like the island in the kitchen, though I would never change the windows or cover the bead board. (I've never liked kitchen islands or dishwashers.) It looks like all the 2nd floor fireplaces were closed off...? That's a pity. I'm not sure I'm a "maximalist," but I adore old homes. I've owned three. Now I live in an apartment that was originally an inn and was built in the 1850's. I see little bits of the original left and wish I could restore it.
Breathtaking details throughout this beautiful home! My jaw dropped when I saw the gas flames coming from the first light fixture. Wow. Interesting to see a staircase on the left side of the hall; most I've seen are on the right, or with larger mansions, centered. I'm giddy over how much of the home is still original. The fireplaces are heavenly. One thought: the open gas fire inserts with the ceramic 'mantles' were outlawed in California due to monoxide. My Grandparents had one in their 1927 Spanish style house in Los Angeles, and my house had one (long gone, gas line capped off) in the study. There may be a difference if they are vented, but for safety, it would be good to have an inspection before using them. I do love the look, and if I could find one, I'd put it there for show. One white bathroom in my house (with pink and blue original tile), everything else has color. ; )
those inserts burn incredibly clean. the danger is in lack of safety features against accidental (or purposeful) discharge of unlit gas into the room. I use one a lot in the winter in my home. CO monitor has never tripped...
@@brightwoodhouse928 Good to know. My info was second-hand from when my Mom removed the unit before selling her parent's house back in the 1970s. We still have the original 1930s 'ceramic coil' wall heater in our bathroom, though we don't use it.
I was 24 when I bought my first home - a 1906 Victorian cottage. I really miss it. It was very original and this one reminds me of it. I wonder if they’d allow me to keep a family milk cow on this property? That would be historically appropriate and is a must for me as I search for my homestead retirement property.

I audibly gasped when you got to the first room and said that the wallpaper was the original. 😍 What a treasure this house is!
i gasped at the gasoliers. 🥰
Wonder if arsenic is a concern if wallpaper is original?
Me too!!
@@HauntedMemoirs no. Arsenic green is a very recognizable color, and is no used in this paper.
This home should be a protected historical museum. When I saw the original gas chandeliers, fireplaces and wallpaper I fell in love with this house.
I would make so many changes to this house. Some of the changes would include, changing the title to my name, replacing their clothes with mine, bringing my own bed linen ...Well I guess that's all haha

Quite possibly the only time I’ve seen original wallpaper still in use. And the clever use of an island to incorporate modern appliances, enabling the windows and doors to stay right where they belong.
I was definitely taking notes on that solution. Moderizing kitchens with so many doorways is such tricky business.
This is literally the exact layout we have planned for Pearl, so we were so excited to see it “in action” in this house!
This house needs to be secured into historical properties and protected. So no one can change it. Need to turn this into museum.
Yes. Or else some moron who thinks their taste is fab will move in and ruin it. Turns my stomach.
Unfortunately, historic designation frequently means exterior only
Anyone notice that Early Queen Anne Victorian cat flap cut into the meticulously preserved back door? Genuine plastic, I believe.

I think those curtains dividing the rooms and areas of the house are so interesting. I didn't know this was done.
While it offers privacy in the home when welcoming visitors, it was dual purpose to control room temperatures since there was no central heating.
I've never seen that either. Usually pocket doors would serve that function. I love pocket doors🤗.
Back before & after the revolution, in homes up north there would also be heavy drapes over the inside of exterior doors to keep drafts out & act as extra insulation. I nevereven realized this until I swathe series "John Adams" where the set designers were meticulous in recreating the period and homes.
We did it in Ireland too. The idea was to keep out the windy drafts.
@@evelynwaugh4053 In one shot, it seems like I saw pocket doors, but they must not be functional. I personally disliked the curtains.
Oh my goodness......What a miracle that this home has survived in its period condition. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my word!!! This is stunning! New owners should be vetted to make sure they will be good stewards of this beauty!!

Wow what a beauty. So rich with history. I love it when people want to keep these gems untouched as much as possible.
There’s nothing I would change about this house. In fact if I were a ghost I would stay behind in this one. So gorgeous!
What a magnificent house. To believe it’s stood for 150 years n some things still original to this day is amazing. You can tell it was well maintained to its glory. The size of the bedrooms were huge. Don’t find that today. It’s a beautiful home n very well priced.
It makes me giddy knowing there’s still many historic homes left. Loved it!!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍🌟🌟
Once again, that is a steal of a price for such a magnificent home. Just stunning!
oh my goodness! what a delight! the new owners that buy this home will have to feel it in their bones and basically be time travelers that have been looking for just this place. It's a literal time machine. So well done and kept. The wood work, the mantles, wow!!!
Hi, I've really been enjoying your videos lately ❤ Your channel only adds to my appreciation of restoration. This house is so lovely. My kinda Victorian 😊 Thank you for your videos.
I LOVE the Captain & Cora Wilk’s chair’s in the study! I had a pair I really enjoyed & they were originals! Love the gasoliers, fireplaces, saved carpet now hanging up! LOVE IT! It’s so beautiful! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love that I don't see everything painted white. And I love that room painted with those trees. Beautiful I
I have a bathroom with all white tile , I don't recommend it, unless you have a maid lol
I'm a total maximalist ...always have been. I love the colors in that house. What a gem
I love this house so much with it being so original , it’s my favorite ,I wish it were mine 💛🏰
Oh my! I am amazed 😍 What a beautiful, beautiful home! I would just love to be able to spend a couple of hours in this house looking at all the stunning original craftsmanship. To get to live in such a home would be an honor. I hope the house is purchased by someone who truly appreciates it and keeps it as is! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
YOU CAN FIND THEM !! JUST BEAUTIFUL !! AND BIG !! THANK YOU 😊
I LOVED this video! I learn so much from you and I am utterly in awe of your knowledge and skills. I always keep a notepad close by when watching your videos so I can write down ideas for my own homes. Keep up the great work, love love love!
Great walk-through view of the entry way. Thanks for the tour of this amazing home. Really a time travel trip.
I will be marking this date down as the day I fell in love!!! Love seeing the gasoliers, fretwork etc. etc. I would not change a single thing I've seen so far!! I feel like I'm witnessing history here! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Such a beautiful home, I truly hope that the next steward's preserve the character and beauty.
I don't think I could ever live there but it's incredible. What an amazing story of how long it was kept in the original family and how much was preserved.
She is a beauty! Thank you for sharing this home with us.
I have always wanted a Victorian home since I saw them in the books my parents would read to me when I was a young girl! I also wanted to make Victorian Doll Houses! I can’t wait to view your website! That seems to be my favorite era for home architecture & furniture! ♥️
I want this house! I always feel a connection with historical properties.
Oh my goodness I’m officially dead now - this is my dream home😍😍😍 The gasoliers, the wall colors, fireplaces, fabulous wallpaper and can a girl ever have enough portieres? I think not😉 I hope it gets an owner who respects and loves all its incredible beauty☺️
Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us. I just kept thinking how great it would be to see you giving us the tour in period clothing. I'm assuming the foundation must be really level to still have all of the original wallpaper without tears and cracks. Wonderful! Just wonderful!
Of all the videos that I watched of the two of you, I think this one has been my favorite. Thank you
I think it’s mine too Tony
Oh to have the money to afford and upkeep such beauty! I love Victorian, and just Antique/Vintage housing and lifestyles in general, so much! I am SO glad I have come across your channel, thank you for fighting to preserve the beauty and splendor of our past! 🥰🤍
Wow.... What a Stunner! Your videos are always so carefully and thoughtfully and tastefully done. You appear as comfortable in front of the camera as if you'd been doing it all of your life!
This is unbelievable!! Thank you!
I wish this beautiful untouched Victorian home was not for sale ! It honestly should belong to a preservation organization for period perfect homes ! God I hope this beautiful gem gets the right buyer !!! 🙏🙏🙏
Holeeey schnikeees! So inspirationally educational! Also, thank you for dropping the vocabulary word of the week: stick and ball mishravia (sp?)! 🤩
Metrabia?? I've replayed that word many times trying to figure out what she's saying. Perhaps a French word?
WOW!! Thank you so much for taking us to & inside these ahhhmazing gems! 💕
She is gorgeously beautiful
Wow!! I hope a lovely family will use this as is and take care of it! The original gasoliers is just beyond!! Thank you so much!!
I want to tell both of you how much I enjoy your programs! Laine I am a geek too, always have been so your program is one of my favorites! Thank you both so much for the travel you have invested to bring us these beautiful homes some for sale, some not. I was raised in a family surrounded by history, antiques, precious China, valuable keepsakes so it is so wonderful for me to continue to enjoy & learn about architecture, restoration, correct terms for different periods of architecture and seeing even similar furniture I grew up with in some of the lovely homes. Again, thank you so much for creating this most enjoyable program!❤
I love this video. It was a nice surprise the sponsor add done by your husband. Flawless transition and very natural. I did not expect that. Beautifully done. Love the house!!!
I think the city should take this house and keep as a museum
The faux marble painting on the mantles are exquisite!
I also love that painting over the first fireplace shown! Gorgeous!
4:31 WHAT!!!!!! That is AMAZING!!!!🤩
That up stairs bathroom OMG love it love it love it!!!! The whole house is Absolutely Beautiful.
Even the iron fence surrounding it is original!! 😲 I truly hope the next owners will keep it as is, what an absolute treasure!! 💕 🏡
Love the kitchen counters and the pantry!
After stripping a dozen layers of paint, we found the same wall paper in our house . Nice to see it intact
It must have been a very popular print. I didn't care for it in the LR but I liked the red, green and gold colorway in the DR.
I thought this house was out of this world 🌎 I’m sure by the time we saw this restoration home it probably has been sold but I hope whoever bought it appreciate it value I personally love ❤️ and I’adore houses like this with the antique furniture including i price of the sale it is awesome because it is preserving American history and heritage great find my favorite place you have shown so far of the queen Victorian style is tony Curtis home I cried when I saw you show it it has the most beautiful and amazing antique furniture and it’s interior and exterior so original heart ❤️ 🇺🇸😇👼👍✝️✡️☮️🌎❤️👍💯
I have a 1899 Queen Anne 6k Sq ft. It is my passion to keep it original. The only thing that would make the house better would be better drapes throughout the place. All my windows and partitions are covered in velvet draperies.
Working transoms! Original wall paper! Original furniture! and on and on. I hope everyone realizes how rare this is!
Love that you said Maximalism,that's an incredible price for all that beautiful home.
I'm a restoration specialist. I'd love a house like this to respect and love
Goodness! Most people will think I'm crazy, but I LOVE that hall! That is one thing about more modern house plans that I hate-- dark, narrow halls, relying on the ambient light from the rooms. I'm sorry. But to me, you need natural light from windows and space in a hall. And the pantry off the kitchen is glorious! In fact, that lay out reminds me very much of a house I lived in when I was child. It had a walk-in pantry and beside it was a door to the back hall. I'm not sure I like the island in the kitchen, though I would never change the windows or cover the bead board. (I've never liked kitchen islands or dishwashers.) It looks like all the 2nd floor fireplaces were closed off...? That's a pity.
I'm not sure I'm a "maximalist," but I adore old homes. I've owned three. Now I live in an apartment that was originally an inn and was built in the 1850's. I see little bits of the original left and wish I could restore it.
Absolutely stunning!!! And thank you much for reiterating that this home is for someone who will love it and preserve as it is!!!
Breathtaking details throughout this beautiful home! My jaw dropped when I saw the gas flames coming from the first light fixture. Wow. Interesting to see a staircase on the left side of the hall; most I've seen are on the right, or with larger mansions, centered. I'm giddy over how much of the home is still original. The fireplaces are heavenly. One thought: the open gas fire inserts with the ceramic 'mantles' were outlawed in California due to monoxide. My Grandparents had one in their 1927 Spanish style house in Los Angeles, and my house had one (long gone, gas line capped off) in the study. There may be a difference if they are vented, but for safety, it would be good to have an inspection before using them. I do love the look, and if I could find one, I'd put it there for show. One white bathroom in my house (with pink and blue original tile), everything else has color. ; )
those inserts burn incredibly clean. the danger is in lack of safety features against accidental (or purposeful) discharge of unlit gas into the room. I use one a lot in the winter in my home. CO monitor has never tripped...
@@brightwoodhouse928 Good to know. My info was second-hand from when my Mom removed the unit before selling her parent's house back in the 1970s. We still have the original 1930s 'ceramic coil' wall heater in our bathroom, though we don't use it.
The originality is just stunning!
I’m gunna lose sleep worrying about who might take ownership! How magnificent!
You know I’m #same
So wonderful!! Absolutely love, thank you for sharing!!
I was 24 when I bought my first home - a 1906 Victorian cottage. I really miss it. It was very original and this one reminds me of it. I wonder if they’d allow me to keep a family milk cow on this property? That would be historically appropriate and is a must for me as I search for my homestead retirement property.
