Amazing woodwork!! Thank goodness it has been preserved. I have to agree that as a lover of older historic homes I find the modern furniture and features to be jarring. Victorian meets Ikea. Of course it is the home owners prerogative to make it their own, but homes like this are important pieces of history. Fortunately, I think these owners have maintained and respected most of the important historic qualities while making it practical for their family. Wonderful to hear it will be full of life - family, fun, children, neighbors, guests - it is a treasure to be shared! Jack - the landscaping is amazing! As always, every detail is thoughtful, beautiful and perfect!!
I agree that modern furniture is hideous in a historic home. I hated the dining room table and chairs. I liked the kitchen but I would’ve left the butlers pantry instead of making such a huge kitchen. I hate when owners change the original floor plans. The best change they made was the kids bathroom. It looked fresh but still in style of the period of the home. This house is a treasure and still very beautiful. Loved the outside. It was a big improvement in my opinion. And as always Jack’s work is awesome !
@@sherryporter8647 I agree, the dining room table is hideous, with plastic chairs. Maybe a different house would've suited their furniture taste, but not an 1800's Victorian , their ,1970's furniture style belongs in something else.
Jack, thank goodness for your insight for the beautiful landscape design. It’s perfect for the beauty that is the outside of this gorgeous period home. Having said that and understanding the homeowners wishes for their personal style, the inside was such a disappointment for me. It’s just so modern and contemporary for what this house is. Although the inside lacks the warmth from what it was, I’m so glad to see they saved all the beautiful woodwork. I like some of the others prefer the before pictures, especially the kitchen. The outside, especially because of your landscape design is pure magic. Wonderful finish on that Jack!
I have been looking forward to seeing inside this beauty for such a long time. Love the original woodwork! I'm so glad it was kept. I love seeing the begire and after pictures, and I fully admit I prefer the before pictures of many of the rooms, but that's just a personal preference on my part. Losing the butlers pantry in the kitchen, for me, was such a tremendous loss. All in all, I'm so glad the outside has the charm of the original, but disappointed the inside was not historically adhered too.
What a beautiful home. I love that so much of the woodwork done by very skilled artisans has survived. I also love the Fireman's pole. Thanks for sharing Jack.
For everyone commenting that it's too modern inside: not everyone wants to live in a museum. This is not a little, old lady home; it's for a young family, and they did a great job. They left most of the intricate original details and updated it for the 21st century. I live in a Queen Anne, but decorate with contemporary furniture and artwork. It works very well and suits who I am. Now, did anyone else notice that beauty across the street at the end? Would love to get a tour of that!
I agree with everyone who loved the before photos. The house was a showplace! But we don't live there. I hope you enjoy your time there. Thanks for letting us see the beautiful woodwork!
I love the renovation of the home. The inside needed to be modernized to reflect the way people live today. It is clean, airy and bright! The before pictures were very heavy, dark and depressing. People do not want that feeling in their homes today. The landscaping really showcased the beauty of the outside of the home. I am glad it will be kept low so the details of the home will still be able to be seen. I did not like any of the before pictures as the landscaping was very over grown. I really like the combination of keeping the old details as much as possible but refreshing the inside with clean modern furniture. Thank you for the video as it made my day! Love your work!
The homeowners don’t have a great eye for decor and matching styles. They seem to prefer clean, modern designs which is fine for a different style home so I don’t understand why they would choose to purchase a Victorian home. The bright white walls make the wood look too yellow. As a kitchen designer, I would have been soooo disappointed to put this design in such a beautiful home. The arch window is great though.
I do like it overall. There is nothing worse than seeing a beautiful Victorian outside, and then entering and seeing modern. For me, the kitchen and bath seem out of place in this house.
Jack! Just STUNNING!!! 1 - in your spare time, you should publish a coffee table sized book of this property’s development. Video doesn’t do it justice. 2 - I can’t imagine how this family could afford this project. Thanks!🌸
I’ve been waiting for this video which felt as though it has been forever! To begin with the landscaping is utterly stunning Jack. I would NEVER expect anything less from you and your crew. The homeowners must be so glad the process is (nearly) complete! It took a lot of patience, perseverance, and dollars to save this lovely old Queen Anne. The construction by the crew is phenomenal and gorgeous. As has always been the case, any creative touches by your brother are singularly one of a kind always done with class. I thank EVERYONE, especially the HOMEOWNERS, for allowing this tour after what has been a very long period for them after which they must be happy just to get on with their lives. Thanks Jack for a complete journey for those of us who love your channel 😊!
Thank you so much! I love all the beautiful wood work. I refinished antiques for 20 years and I can appreciate all the carvings. You said it would take quite the tools. You wouldn't believe what I used. ( I am not telling. ) This was a dream to get into the home. I was hoping. So much areas to clean. I know practical. I am from the Mid West. I am sure you are picturing all the plants when they grow up and blend into it all. the patio is just awesome. So also tell your Brother he is also amazing. Thanks again. Joyce
OMG! I grew up just down the street from this house (back when dinosaurs roamed the earth) It was stunning. I was shocked to come home a few years after graduation to see it in disrepair. It's so stunning now. Congratulations. It is just breathtaking.
What a beautiful home, thank you Jack, Matt, Kelly and Pete for taking us along a showing us this beauty! Jack, maybe you show us next season the plants and how the landscape progresses, it will be gorgeous for sure! So fu to see how the plants fill in! Blessings to you all!💜 Great job!
These OWNERS have done an exquisite, collaborative job getting this home restored, improved, maintained, upgraded, beautified!!! Live well! Laugh uproariously, weep tenderly, love eternally, new owner-residents.
So awesome. Beautiful tour. I love he light pink exterior. Historically a homeowner would add a gas lamp to the knoll post in the entryway after the last mortgage payment to show off to friends, we own this home.
What an incredible home, my goodness sakes. The joy and the memories that are gonna be made there. Going to be epic, I'm very happy that it's a single family home, a very fortunate family. I love the inside, it's very light and bright. Kid proof in some ways. That staircase and the trimwork is beyond. And thank you, Jack for inviting us in to see this Incredible home, you did a out of the park fantastic job on the property as always another good one!!!! And I am very thrilled cause I was the first one to make a comment and the first 1 to hit like. I get all of your notifications and I never miss one. So you have a wonderful rest of this year and take care of yourself and your family.
Wow she is stunningly beautiful. Absolutely love all the beautiful woodwork [the color and intricate carving on the stairs and other spots is second to none beautiful.] Jack your design and completion of the outside is just beyond beautiful. Emory did an awesome job on the fencing. Matt and Kelly must be so proud of this beautiful home. I just absolutely love it!!!! Thanks for letting us see the completed project. It's gorgeous.
Wow!! That is an awesome home inside and out. You were very fortunate to work with clients that were open to new ideas. The landscape design is truly a work of art!
So much love and life has been brought back into this home! Wow, way to go team, just beautiful! I'm not a huge simple modern fan but if it makes the owners happy that's all that matters. There is so much original beauty left in the house there is room for their style too. Thank you for showing us around❤
Fabulous job at restoration and renovations. The landscaping is beautiful. Thank you so much for the tour. I hope the family will be very happy in this home. 😊
Beautiful! I can't even imagine how many hours of work went into this! and the cost! worth it! thanks so much to the home owners for allowing us into your home. It's magical and what memories your kids will have living there! Dreams do come true!
In some of the pictures, I like the old version better. I guess it was necessary to update but it has lost some of the character. I wish they could have saved that butler's pantry. Ultimately, the new homeowner has a lovely place, and that is what matters.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful work. I loved the woodwork detail and the fire place in the Master suite . Landscaping as always Beautiful and functional.
Love the house and landscaping. Not a fan of the modern lighting and furniture. Just a true Victorian traditional girl. But so glad they kept the woodwork and spaces as true to the time period as possible. Married to a Fire Chief so love the pole!
Thanks for the tour Jack ! What a beautiful job on the renovation, inside and out. The woodwork is gorgeous , and keeps with the character of the home .
Absolutely a gorgeous lady of the past with new features. The white carpet and kids is a No for me! Where’s the elevator? 😂. I love that they saved what they could! Beautiful landscaping as always!
It is always heartwarming to see these beautiful historical homes being saved! Especially when the majority of it's original craftsmanship is saved along with it!!!!
Oh my word, no joke, kidding or lie, just yesterday I was wondering if and when we'd see this finished project. It is stunning, what fun they want to share it with the neighborhood. Love the old photos too. I'd like to hope they'd decorator for Christmas like it must have looked in the 20's - 30's, all that live greenery 🥰 Jack, what you and your brother contributed to this project, well it really sets the house off. Your foresight into your projects is just incredible.
It really says a lot when you can say that the outside is even more beautiful than the inside. The outside landscaping is the perfect jewelry to finish off the outfit.
I’m so impressed with all everyone did to make this happen. What a project and although some of the “before” photos were beautiful, most people simply don’t live that way anymore, so it was refreshing to see the more modern approach to furnishing all the spaces. The landscaping is stunning. Thanks for the tour!
It's beautiful outside, landscaping is lovely. The interior is a train wreck. Was the woodwork lightened? The butlers pantry was dark wood, two different colors of wood is unusual. That bar in the parlor!😣😣 The hideous kitchen.WHY? if people want modern why buy an old home? " Touch as little as possible?" Seriously? Glad they kept what they did, but it's hard to watch.
Absolutely amazing! Interesting that the owners (I guess that's who those people are) inserted themselves into the video. Incredible wealth to pull off a renovation like this. Nice combination of the old and the modern. Needless to say, the landscaping is phenomenal, Jack. Great work, as usual. The fireman's pole is so cool. Never seen anything like that in a home. How creative! I'd love to know what kind of floors are on the porches.
Thank you so very much for sharing that was one of the most interesting homes I've ever seen three stories unbelievable! The Landscaping is gorgeous looks so perfect with the house! Hard to believe that he'll get any prettier but when it's matured it will be so gorgeous God bless you and everybody that made the homeowners dream come true
Wow! I am "almost" speechless. This home ia amazing from outside to in! Good grief! The work that went into the planning and then the execution of this transformation is epic! Each one of you is amazing! The whole house looks fabulous! I am so thankful that so much of the woodwork was there. There are maybe 3 or 4 ppl left in the world who can create this level of beauty, today! Just spectacular! Kudos to the homeowners for jumping into this home! I love every room! My least fav room is the kitchen. It is amazing but it just doesn't match the rest of the house. I do understand wanting what they have and how it is kind of necessary to do some things different and as amazing as it is, I wished to see a way different look. I also don't get the dining table? It looks like it belongs in an office, not a dining room like this one. That said, to each their own and if the homeowners love it, that's what counts! Every blade of grass to the largest tree is pure perfection! I love the whole exterior of the home. No doubt, it's a beautiful change and I know the neighbors have to be sooo happy! Wishing the homeowners all the best in their home. Thanks for letting us in. I really enjoyed the tour. Thanks for sharing this project with us Jack!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, such an inspiring project. It’s always been a dream of ours to own and renovate a Victorian but the cost is so prohibitive. Kudos to those who renovate and improve these historic homes for future generations to appreciate!
The outside and landscaping are just beautiful. Victorian is my style and i love this house. As far as i"m concerned the other homeowners did a much nicer job decorating the house then the present owners. When i saw the formica looking table and chairs in the dinning room with the outer space like light fixture above the formica table I about died. This does not go with the integrity of the victorian style. You have a outer space looking light in the dinning room and a victorian gas light in the entry. They don't match. The light over your gaming table upstairs would be a much better choice for the dinning room. I know this is your house and you can do what you want but my question is why did you buy it? I'm surprised you didn't paint all the wood. At least you didn't do that and I commend you for that. You did do a good job restoring the house but I'm a little disappointed with the furniture you chose.
The landscaping is wonderful. I am however conflicted on some of what has been done inside. Particularly to the kitchen. I wish they had been able to open us the kitchen but keep the charm and esthetic of the old kitchen - it just seems to have had its sound ripped out. Too bad.
Thank you to everyone who made this tour possible. This beautiful home mesmorized me from the first time I saw it and I'm so happy to see it in it's 99.9% fullness. A question - I like the placement of the Quick Fire's behind the Yews. Can this also be done with Boxwoods?
What a beautiful house! Love the work you’ve done with the landscaping too, Jack! It really frames the whole place beautifully! As for the interior, I think it’s great! It may not all be to my personal taste, but it’s not my home, and I love what they’ve done with it and how they’ve made it their own, incorporating modern with classical to suit their preferences. The work in the Master bedroom and Master bathroom are also beautiful! Thanks for showing us around!
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. I started reading the comments before I put my two cents worth in. I agree with the vision you had with the landscape. And the outside of this house. But the inside was a huge disappointment. Thank you once again for sharing all the videos.
Incredible project! Beautiful landscape! Love the kitchen and the big window, along with that table! 💚 Love the front doors, the gorgeous wood entry and Victorian charm. Well done to all! Beautiful home!
It's such a collaboration when an old building goes through loving hands after loving hands, even the artisans -- the garden designers, the landscape architects, the structure architects, AND the actual owners who reside there. Are any children living there?? I'm so happy to find out there ARE!!!!
With the exception of the mud room, my tastes or more toward the before, including the new light fixture in the dining room❤ but this is a gem and I’m so thrilled have seen it!! Edit: oh! It would have been cool to have seen the concrete you were talking about in the back that he didn’t think was too bad 😂😂🥴🤪
Thanks for the tour though I prefer the "befores" in the house to the trending updates!

😂victoian meets Ikea 🤦🏼♀️😂
I prefer the old butlers pantry and kitchen,. The inside doesn't match the outside, except for the gorgeous woodwork. I prefer the before photos.
I agree! The new renovation just doesn’t tie with any of the rooms
@@andresfresa123 I don't think modern furniture goes in a Victorian house, Victorian houses are ornate and opulent.

Beautiful woodwork. Thanks for showing.
Beautiful home, but it's way too modern inside. I prefer much of the old before renovation, especially the kitchen.
Other than the foyer, the modern finishes are anemic. The warmth of the wallpapers and wood finishes has been lost. But to each his own.
Me too.I have been authentic to my house.

Yes I love the butlers pantry too. With that said the house is stunning. All the crafts did a fabulous job.
Love that you tested out the swing and fireman's pole :). What a fantastic house!
What a glorious and well crafted home. A really special place. Thanks guys!

An incredible transformation of the interior/exterior of the house which is beautifully complimented with your exquisite landscaping!

I’m only 10 minutes in and I could cry. So much prefer the before
What a beautiful home. So many wonderful features. A real treat to see it !
So awesome. Beautiful tour. I love he light pink exterior. Historically a homeowner would add a gas lamp to the knoll post in the entryway after the last mortgage payment to show off to friends, we own this home.
Yes! I had forgotten that!!

Absolutely beautiful...
I live in Michigan and I am very familiar with Traverse City...your work is fabulous! Love.
thanks for letting us see the update plus the inside! just beautiful inside and out
Wow, amazing home! I hope you have another video showing the finished landscape. I'll go check if I missed that video.
So much love and life has been brought back into this home! Wow, way to go team, just beautiful! I'm not a huge simple modern fan but if it makes the owners happy that's all that matters.

What a treat! Thank you!
Very pretty home! 🤍
Thank you for sharing!!
One word, Spectacular.

Where’s the elevator? 😂. I love that they saved what they could! Beautiful landscaping as always!
Jack it’s a gorgeous transformation of both the house as well as the landscaping. Thank you so much for taking everyone along for the ride.♥️🌸🍁🍂🎋🍁🤗🌹

Wow. Absolutely amazing. Keeping the old but incorporating a minimalist feel.
I love the combination of the old and modern. Just beautiful!
Love that the landscape matches the family’s lifestyle-and is so beautiful!
The wood work is truly fantastic! Great job on the landscaping, Jack.
It really says a lot when you can say that the outside is even more beautiful than the inside. The outside landscaping is the perfect jewelry to finish off the outfit.

Been following along from the beginning. What an incredible place. Thanks for the tour; I'd been looking forward to the seeing the inside.
Thank you for sharing. Loved it. I am using Kathy ‘s idea about the shoes!! Lol
Wow, such an inspiring project. It’s always been a dream of ours to own and renovate a Victorian but the cost is so prohibitive. Kudos to those who renovate and improve these historic homes for future generations to appreciate!
the landscaping is perfect! honestly I'm not a fan of the Victorian era, but this is stunning! BRAVO!
The outside and landscaping are just beautiful. Victorian is my style and i love this house. As far as i"m concerned the other homeowners did a much nicer job decorating the house then the present owners. When i saw the formica looking table and chairs in the dinning room with the outer space like light fixture above the formica table I about died. This does not go with the integrity of the victorian style. You have a outer space looking light in the dinning room and a victorian gas light in the entry. They don't match.
The light over your gaming table upstairs would be a much better choice for the dinning room.
I know this is your house and you can do what you want but my question is why did you buy it? I'm surprised you didn't paint all the wood. At least you didn't do that and I commend you for that. You did do a good job restoring the house but I'm a little disappointed with the furniture you chose.
Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
The landscaping is wonderful. I am however conflicted on some of what has been done inside. Particularly to the kitchen. I wish they had been able to open us the kitchen but keep the charm and esthetic of the old kitchen - it just seems to have had its sound ripped out. Too bad.
Outstanding!
Thank you to everyone who made this tour possible. This beautiful home mesmorized me from the first time I saw it and I'm so happy to see it in it's 99.9% fullness. A question - I like the placement of the Quick Fire's behind the Yews. Can this also be done with Boxwoods?
Yep-!
I upholster accent chairs, some that would look great in this house! The woodwork is incredible!
Absolutely wonderful home.
What a beautiful house! Love the work you’ve done with the landscaping too, Jack! It really frames the whole place beautifully! As for the interior, I think it’s great! It may not all be to my personal taste, but it’s not my home, and I love what they’ve done with it and how they’ve made it their own, incorporating modern with classical to suit their preferences. The work in the Master bedroom and Master bathroom are also beautiful!
Thanks for showing us around!
I’m sorry to see some of the original features in the kitchen gone. Beautiful home.
Thank you for sharing this amazing experience. I started reading the comments before I put my two cents worth in. I agree with the vision you had with the landscape. And the outside of this house. But the inside was a huge disappointment. Thank you once again for sharing all the videos.
Thanks to all for the tour 🍁🍂
Absolutely Stunning. Dorene Weiss
Amazing!!!!

Stunning!!
I love that kitchen !!!
Incredible project! Beautiful landscape!
Love the kitchen and the big window, along with that table! 💚
Love the front doors, the gorgeous wood entry and Victorian charm.
Well done to all!
Beautiful home!
It's such a collaboration when an old building goes through loving hands after loving hands, even the artisans -- the garden designers, the landscape architects, the structure architects, AND the actual owners who reside there.
Are any children living there?? I'm so happy to find out there ARE!!!!
BEAUTIFUL!
Good work.
With the exception of the mud room, my tastes or more toward the before, including the new light fixture in the dining room❤ but this is a gem and I’m so thrilled have seen it!!
Edit: oh! It would have been cool to have seen the concrete you were talking about in the back that he didn’t think was too bad 😂😂🥴🤪
I prefer the interior BEFORE the modernization. That's the problem. If you want Moden , build a totally new house.
