    Odd place to have an elevator entrance/exit, in a bathroom? I’d hate to be sitting there doing my business and hear, “Ding”!!! and there stands your mother-in-law.😂

      I think it was likely added when the homeowner became elderly and could no climb up the stairs. Probably lived alone, or just husband and wife, and would have no fear of someone else ever coming off the elevator.

    I’d love to go back in time and see this place in its glory, full of family and food and wine. Grapes growing. Life happening. I bet lots of relatives and friends from “the old country” came to stay in all those bedrooms. Staff living downstairs probably. LOTS of floor buffing going on, those floor gleam! The whole house feels quite well maintained, even if dated. The parents getting older, not interested in modern updates. Staff kept it really clean. A good, big, solid, functional house, not overly fancy. Notice there is no big grand kitchen, despite multiple. So interesting. Thank you, Brent. ☺️ Fabulous work as always. 👍

In the basement they even had a room and table for sausage and tomato sauce making. With all those grape vines in the greenhouse, they must have also made wine. Great find, Brent! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

    This home and land looks like it used to be a farm/homestead. They probably raised their own beef (hence the big walk in cooler) and chickens for meat and eggs. They also grew lots of veggies. They probably got too old or sick to take care of the place and sold it.
