Despite all of the other comments from people on here saying they remodeled the character right out of it, I personally love the transformation! Let's be real here people, the house was falling apart and needed some major work. Now it's clean, updated and gorgeous! I'd buy that house without any hesitation whatsoever. It may be really modern now, but who cares, it's still a beautiful house.
Simply Magical I completely agree! I think it is beautiful!
Agreed it’s perfect to me the older version was way outdated and looked like it smelled of moth balls lol! But different strokes from different folks I suppose...
A beautiful "ugly duckling" transformation that took many pounds to do and I applaud their efforts!
I'll take a "rogue" but cleaned up house any day over a house with "character" aka. Poor foundation, backing up sewer, drafty windows, leaky ceilings, etc.
I know right I don’t know why people are getting butthurt over the history of the house being completely gone and what not. It’s pretty obvious they wanted a big house with a big space and they wanted to modernise it? And they did such a good job because this house had lots of potential too it. SO I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
I loved the old windows with the colored glass details. I hope those didn't get tossed.
How serene! I love the combination of clean white walls and dark wood floors. The Shaker buildings from the Pleasantville Kentucky settlement of the 1800's are the same and they are beautiful, even while empty. Particularly love the clean, elegant, kitchen. I just hope the buyers don't bring a lot of clutter to ruin the feng shui.
it's nice, but In my opinion I think leaving a little bit of the "Old charm" would've looked better. These older homes have so much character it's worth saving some of it.
This was super satisfying for me to watch because I hate older homes with the "old charm." Oh my gosh, especially wooden walls and stuff like that. lol.
It looks like a Home Depot demo now. Why not buy a newer house or build one if you don't really like older homes? Such a shame.
Very valid point but not everyone can afford to buy a newer house or just build one from scratch. I don't know, I guess everyone has different tastes. I'm all about how I feel in certain spaces, I can't help it, and when I see wood everywhere, stairs that creek, dark furniture, lots of browns, dark greens, etc and old school windows and stuff it makes me feel depressed and bad. lol. Like when you're in one of those old elevators, ugh, horrible. But there are ways to use browns and stuff and really make a beautiful modern room but yeah, it's just that really old style I hate.
Lysol Disinfectant Wipes In places where older, intact homes survive, newer homes are much cheaper. I suspect that is due to the rarity of unaltered structures.
Ahhhhh another keyboard warrior. If you think you can renovate and sell homes better then go do it.
They did an amazing job with the landscaping of the house. The inside staircase and bathroom were nice but the other rooms are devoid of character and color. Hopefully the furnishings make up for that!
1. Does the front of the house have damp or have you put in a DPC?
2. Why would you paint the bricks (exterior)
3. The hallway has lost its charm
4. Why laminate over wood?
Nice kitchen and bathroom.
What a huge transformation!! I really love that the whole property was completely improved! I’m definitely saving this 1; great before and after ideas.
This is a very nice house and I like the way it was well preserved previously.
How anyone could say this is not a stunning remodel and lacks character is beyond me. It’s a remodel done to perfection! A beautiful home filled with character.
Overall, I like this renovation. However, I agree with the other comments here lamenting the apparent loss of leaded and stained glass windows/doors. I'm glad some were kept in place but it's a shame they all weren't incorporated into the new design. For instance, the leaded glass double doors seen at 1:21 could have been repurposed in lieu of the obviously new french doors appearing at 2:03. Also, painting exterior brick is usually a bad idea. Bricks absorb moisture like sponges (from the air as well as precipitation) and, once painted, they can become a maintenance hassle forevermore. Say hello to peeling paint every few years. Additionally, I can't help but hope the folks who buy this house will ditch the generic "spec" chandeliers throughout in favor of fixtures that are a nod to the domicile's original era. I think this one thing would do much to bring the feelings of the old and new more into balance, highlighting the place's one-of-a-kind character.
I like the before a lot, it's got a story! the remodling makes it so cold
Bandri Alotaibi yea like ghost story right?
Agreed, a lot of the character was taken out. Also, it's okay to use color.
Are you serious?
Yuck. It looks like cookie-cutter new construction now. It could have been updated without losing the character.
Utterly stunning
Beautifully done so clean and beautiful a lovely place to move into. Just one little thing the kitchen cabinets could have retained panelled cabinet doors I think. Painted white to match or even in melamine adds a little classic tradition to the renovation give it that little lift unique classic class.?
BEAUTIFUL job. This breathes fresh air in that old building. Updationg it is welcoming to a new family to make a home. People who are crying over this house aren't th ones who own it nor providing funds. Not to mention old houses are hard to heat / cool n maintain
Character Schmaracter. The update improves everything about the home imo. Makes best use of the space and modern materials available. Great job.
I love it! This is gorgeous. It's elegant, charming and welcoming. Whoever did this hit the jackpot!!
The remodel is FANTASTIC,
I didn't see that many bedrooms to justify the amount of open-space downstairs. Those dinning rooms and living rooms have enough space for ten people to move around... or more. Maybe if they kept some walls for a library or office, even a small fitness room or game room, a nursery... and definitely kept some of the old characteristics of the house, it needed updating but the old time charm vibe was certainly lost...
Hello Ana, thank you for watching! We don't put all the rooms on the video, people would get bored :-) This is actually pretty big house, 5 bedroom house with 2 living areas and one playroom/ fitness room. The open plan you can see on the video is just kitchen and dining area. We understand we cannot please everybody with a style but I can guarantee you that it still has a beautiful charm with an original character. :-)
I'm sorry did you say renovation or character assassination....? So it's had an American style reno, its been made comfortable and a nice finish but I can't help thinking that you bought the wrong house for the look you prefer. It might have been better to have left this house for someone else who liked this style more and would have renovated it more in keeping with that. Not really a criticism, more an observation because its still a nice house, if a bit bander now.
Nice before and after contrast, gentle to the eyes! Not to mention it's my favorite music, too! Pachelbel.
They remodeled the personality right out of it.
If you like the personality of someone who has let themselves go, especially with the bathrooms and backyard. It looks so clean and polished now, and there's more functionality.
You missed the point. It looks too sterile, there are no personal touches. Where's,...................radiology?
...do you know what "radiology" means.
....In the sense of a very sterile environment. It may not be the true meaning but it works. Do you know what sarcasm means?
Yeah, I sensed your sarcasm when you said they remodeled the personality right out of it.
Why would you cover up that Beautiful Original Parkay floor with that dead grey FAKE wood crap ?
Amazing! So so pretty! 😍 you did a really good job!
looks good but those birds would drive me nuts
murda monk 😂
murda monk where I live there’s lots of birds so annoying
Murda monk. I just died laughing at your comment. So much negative comments before yours it's refreshing to laugh out of nowhere..
murda monk best comment 😂
Maybe it's in the music 🤔
You can tell whenever this house was originally built it was state of the art. It looks like it fell into some despair probably as the original owners got older. I just stumbled across your channel and l’m delighted. You did a wonderful job and brought this house back to life. I loved everything except *0:50, the brick & half picket fence wall looks as if you just had a “slip-cover” put over it. It’s just not in keeping with the rest of the house. Otherwise... BRAVO 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
The living room turned out stunning and the staircase is a stand alone focal point. I understand the comments about character. The kitchen and baths were too sleek for this home and the storage area transformation was brilliant but it would have been absolutely perfect if you kept the brick wall. All in all, a magnificent renovation. Good luck to the new owners in their beautiful home.
I love these before and after home renovations. Just beautiful!
Outstanding. Let them keep the charm in their memories.
I like it. They did a good job. Still has the features such as stained glass but now clean light and modern. Good job guys!
House was already coffered ceilings and great architecture. Easy remodel.
Beautiful! Loved the doorway
It's nice but the owners could have been more sympathetic to the historic character and features of the original building. That's how history survives.
You guys have impeccable taste! This video was SO satisfying to watch.
So, basically, you took out the old charm, put in fake flooring and painted everything white? Great job. Can’t believe no one else ever thought of that. :(
Gregory Thomas
Done forget they changed the sockets and switches from white to chrome!
Oh please, it looks great.
A total WOW! And the soundtrack certainly didn't hurt! Well done.
When you go in with a Mindset of Flipping, you often compromise the look , the work, the Character ..Character is Integrity
Beautiful reno. The kitchen and bathroom had already been redone at some time like the 50s or 60s, so these renovators were not destroying history in those rooms at all. Those rooms were pokey and ill-designed and needed to be opened up. The stained glass on the front door and window to its side were retained. The addition off the rear had been added after the house was built so there was no problem with bringing that up to date; likewise with the deteriorated garage. The stairway is GORGEOUS. The only thing I am doubtful about is all the wood used on the exterior to hold back stone walls and define patio spaces. Unless it is manufactured wood made from plastics I can see it deteriorating very quickly...it is handsome and defines the porch and patio spaces well, but I am also not sure of how good that will look 30 years from now; it might look outdated and very 2015. You never know. But for now, the house is drop dead gorgeous.
What a brilliant renovation. I wish it were my house. Thank you for showing a dream.
I would have kept the old bramble path outside, but the house remodel was lovely.
I think an almost golden, champagne lighting would have been a better touch and preserved the “old world charm” and character.
I prefer the darker trim on the exterior instead of all white, but it's beautiful nonetheless. This looks like a really beautiful neighborhood.
Thank you for watching and for the supporting comments. It is mostly hard work but it is worth it to see people liking and enjoying our work. If you like what we do, here is another renovation "Before & After" video we have done: ua-cam.com/video/ybNTWScvzeE/v-deo.html And more to come in the future, keep an eye on us ;-)
gorgeous just wow.
Verry satisfying to watch how been thrown out but you kept the caracter.
It has a verry nice feel to it.
Clasic
More than perfect
Congratulations the Renovation was amazing !!
garden need more renovation....others stunning. Nice video.
Obviously everyone will have different tastes, hence the variation of comments but on the whole is looks good, clean, modern and simplistic. I would however have changed the windows since almost every aspect of the house was updated.
wow.. beautiful. . simple yet elegance.
It's like a castle!
Compared with houses in Japan, this is much prettier and more sophisticated!
Such a mind blowing transformation. Kudos!!
Amazing job! So beautiful!
What a beautiful home. Such lovely light. Love all the finishes & modern appeal. =)
Omg It’s gorgeous
like brand new !! wow
Everything old is new again.
What a beautiful house!
Why is no one talking about the cool video editing!!
Wish this was my house. Stunning!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!
Loving the transformation , with such class ❤️
WOW! So beautiful and timeless
Very nice. Well done! Congrats!
The orange brick trim was beautiful. After renovation: dull and boring.
The orange trim is terribly outdated. It's not like an historical centuries old home. It's just a house from the 50-70s. It's not historical, it's only old and outdated.
Lovely, but I noticed there are no air returns or any wall mounted units in any room. That means the house doesn't have air-conditioning. I know it's not as common in the UK to have central air or any air conditioners at all, but I would think a house of this size would have it.
I really like the house nice airy big windows, just the staircase original was wonderfull now look out of place...one of the rooms on back I would kept the beams for bit of character ...but I think for sale to appeal to mayority people ...families is bang on ...
Love sound of the birds
I loved the renovation!!!! I'm saving this video for future reference.
Pretty work, but very cold, especially in England!
Wonderful job, love the renovation, I would love to live there
This is amazing ! But I would have kept the grid windows, which were very beautiful.
Beautifully done.
Exquisite ! Love the transformation!
I have big old house in INDIA but I didn't modified .
I built another new home because
If I have lot of memories in my old house I played with my family and enjoyed a lot now my grandfather grandma no more but memories still in my heart we are Indians. 👍
Fantastic work. I love it.
Beautiful renovation! Gorgeous job. :)
Great transformation! That was from drab to fab!
Sorry to see you've renovated the soul out of this house. Getting rid of the glass in lead doors in the main entrance room is a sin...
Amazing what you can do with some time money and some taste, love its a whole new house!
What an improvement great job
Of course they remodeled the character out of it. That is what remodeling is about. They took an old peace of charecterfull garbage and turned it into a modern canvas for the new owners to put their character onto over the next decades. And then in lets say 50-60 years people will yell again when the next owner remodels the character out of this house. I love it.
Cracking job, 100& improvement, the home is functional now.
I would have made some different choices that are in keeping with the integrity of the design. For instance, the use of stained wood that becomes weathered and run-down due to the climate/seasons and temperatures taking their toll on the condition and appearance of the wood-wrapped perimeter will require serious cost/maintenance to keep the new look. The entry door where the removal of the outer, storm door was removed - I imagine the original owners put it there because the driven snow in the winter makes that egress a cold, wet, sloppy mess and having it closed off also provided an additional energy saving, thermal layer to the home while doors opening/closing in inclimate weather. I think a better substitute may have been a solid thermal glass (with minimal structural trim that would result in blocking the view of the entrance) - giving the illusion of there not being a door but maintaining a clean, thermal layer and weather-protected entry. I don't understand the block wood rail to replace the dilapidated porch rail overlooking the beautiful back yard. While sitting on that porch, residents and guests would be prevented from enjoying the view of the acreage. The bathroom open cabinetry where linens are stored in plain view doesn't keep linens from dust, bacteria, etc. - those things should be stored behind closed doors from fixtures that splash. Many areas had tasteful updates but the choices that affected the functional aspects and inhibited the full enjoyment of the spaces would have been a point of frustration for me as the homeowner.
Absolutely stunning!
I agree it's too modern for that home. The floors look like that cheaper laminate.
icsunonove They do indeed. Nice warm floors would have made all the difference.
I would have preferred real tile, not fake wood, done with a grey tinted look, the the black off set of the stairs would have looked perfect together,
That feeling, when old house in usa looks better than new in russia
I love it! Simply gorgeous!
Pachelbel's Canon! nice!
I love it. Well done.
This video made me sad. I liked the house before the reno. 😔
It kinda did, but I personally think after the renovation it looked better, and I also wanted that house.
Wow looks beautiful love it
I think it looks better now with renovation, before it looked like a hunted house, besides once you add your own furniture and decor its perfect, also all people have different taste, one mans trash is another man treasure, and I don't understand all the harsh comments, give credit where is deserved.
Beautiful!
I find the big airy windows and endless white rooms kind of depressing
Good Job..Good Color Choices..you did your Research..Bravo
Andre EWERT Color choices? White, black and grey. Ugh.
This house is like 2 minutes drive from where I live.😂🤣 and every time I see it I just think off this video.
Nicely done!
Gorgeous touches. Only, I would have so preferred more hardwood upstairs as I hate carpet, but then again, so much additions were placed and high end finishes, that there was most likely not enough money to add in hardwood upstairs. That and I wish the wooden deck would have continued to that patio area instead of having rocks. Lastly, I don't like that chandelier hanging above the staircase. Other than that, everything was beautiful. I'm just very detail oriented and peculiar lmfao
The integrity of the house is gone, too modern.
It’s nice. I do think I would have liked the outside better if they used stone instead of wood
