Kristen what an absolute gem, the character is just oozing out of every nook and cranny! I cannot wait to see you make it your own and see your visions come to life 🙌🏼
Kristen, this is an absolutely beautiful home! I too love the charm of older homes (mine is from 1924). May you and your family continue to thank God for such a gift! Can’t wait to see how you decorate it! Love your decorating style! Thank you for the home tour! Shari from Indiana.
Kristen, your home is absolutely beautiful. It has so much character. I can’t wait to see what you do with it. You are so right when you say God has blessed you and your family.
OMGosh..the floors, original oak, original, original hardware on the doors, & knobs..the bathroom you just showed should be in Country Living..love the simplistic kitchen cabinets..gorgeous windows, closet space..your porch reminds me of my grandma’s porch.. Bless you and your family on this new journey making this home your home. 🙏🙏🌷🌷🌞🌞
My husband was stationed at Offutt in Bellevue. We looked at quite a few homes in Iowa. All the little towns are so charming. You have a beautiful home. Congratulations!
You can certainly strip and restore the downstairs woodwork. With only one layer of paint, it will be relatively easy. The original wood was gorgeous!!
Welcome to Iowa. My daughters in-laws live in the country in Atlantic. What a beautiful home. You just don’t see the character and charm in new homes. I can’t wait to see you put the love back in it.
Kristen your new home is absolutely gorgeous. I love everything about it and you and your sweet family deserve everything wonderful that happens in your life. I can’t wait to see once you get everything moved in. Congratulations
Oh my! You have your work cut out for you to make this livable! This is from 2 years ago so I need to go see how the reno went and see new porch and the restoration today!
I wanted to buy a 1900 farmhouse. I had my heart set on it...prayed about it, but never felt released to buy it. Probably too much work for a widow. I'm so happy for you and your family! Be blessed and enjoy many years in your home.
Stunning home Kristen. Thank you for the tour. I can hear the gratitude in your voice and see the relief and happiness on your face. Love the huge yard and tree house for your girls to play in and the beautiful porch that you and Josh can sit on while watching your girls. The inside of your new home is so charming. Can’t wait to see how you decorate it with your furniture and artwork. How fun will that be !!
Your new home is beautiful thanks for the tour! I always wondered what that house looked like inside I would always see it on my way to my sisters she lived in the subdivision right across the highway from you for about 15 years . Enjoy your new home
Congrats! You are so deserving and I see tears in your eyes you are so happy. I am actually crying with you. I am sooo happy for you. Please don’t abandon us for your new house! Keep us posted every step of the way! Prayers for your family.
You will love this older lady (House ). I had a 123 year old house and I love it. 12 ft. Ceilings hard wood floors. A house with so much character. Can’t wait to see what you do for decorating.
CONGRATS Kristen, awesome tour....as a Real Estate agent I should hire you....love the house and yard. I have had a 1900 house and the charm in them is unsurpassed to other newer homes. Pocket doors are my thing. Used to love a clawfoot tub, Had one and didn't love it. Hot water becomes cold fast, trying to get in and out of it, not great with company using your baths. Anyhow, the yard is where I would be. Enjoy every minute of the new memories....You two did it in a CRAZY market.
Such a great house & yard. Many cherished holidays to come! It sure is a great place for the girls to grow up in. So happy for you all!! Thanks for the tour. Love it!
I’m so looking forward to seeing what you do to make it yours. It’s a perfect place to raise kids. When I saw the white picket fence and the pretty green grass, I sucked in my breath! Fun, fun, fun.💕
It’s absolutely wonderful and your joy is so heartwarming. Congratulations! It will be lovely to watch you tweak the areas you mentioned and make it truly yours.
Gorgeous home, Kristen! Please consider hanging your curtain rods way higher to complement the high ceilings. Can’t wait to see you put your spin on your new home.
Omg. I had no idea how beautiful the details of the wood and door knobs its is a dream come true! So happy for you and your family. Thank you for taking us on the journey with you. I have a feeling this will be your forever home. God is always Great!
Glad it's finally yours, so exciting!! It's gorgeous! I'm one of those that would have painted the woodwork, and I paint antiques, I'm old and love white trim and furniture!!!!!! God's Blessings on your family!!!
You will love chickens. Your children will love them. It’s the perfect property for chickens and gardens….and oh my goodness… love your new home!!! Looks like a dream farmhouse to me. What a find! This is a new beautiful chapter in your life! Welcome home.
It is beautiful. We bought and lived in a home built in 1913 that so reminds me of yours. Couple of interesting facts you may or may not know. The old homes had nearly no closets. Every time a door was put in, it cost more and was considered another room. Also, bead board on the ceiling on porches were usually painted a blue/gray color to keep evil spirits away. This was thought in the antebellum era. They felt these spirits could not cross water so they painted the porch ceilings blue. So much history we can learn from old homes.
@@KristenHoffman the blue was called 'haint blue', referring to ghosts or spirits (not sure they were bad or not). Milk paint, which was often used to paint the ceilings, had lye in it, which was a good insect repellent too.
Your enthusiasm and appreciation for your new home has had me smiling, through the whole video !! Thank you, for sharing your excitement in your ‘ new’ ‘old’ home. I’m looking forward to seeing the changes you make, as you you make it your own ❤️❤️
Your house is absolutely gorgeous. It's like a dream house for a family with little kids. For sure you and your children will have wonderful memories living there. More blessings to you all.
When I saw the notification for this video I was so super excited!!! What an absolutely beautiful home!!! I cannot wait to see what you do with it!!! I wish you and your family many many happy years there!x
I live in western Iowa and go to Omaha a lot. Our house was a farm house that was moved into our little town in the 50’s. We bought it in 1968 and have done a lot of work over the years. Your house is so pretty and you will have a lot of fun fixing it up.
That is a precious darling house you will make a home !!! It is like a farmhouse dream !!!! You do deserve the house of course ! Just breathe in your joy !!!!
Just discovered your channel! I always have a special place in my heart for people from NE. I grew up in Lincoln. I can’t wait to see what you do with this beautiful home!

If you haven’t already, find Amy Fritz’s channel. She bought a farmhouse a year ago and renovated it and it is a dream and she is so sweet. Congratulations! ~ Linda
The house is beautiful and that yard too. It will take awhile to get things like you would like it to be but you two will get there! I was noticing the door fixtures or knobs, so pretty.
WOW Kristen the house is perfect!!!! Soooooo happy for you and your family, you are truly blessed!! When a person is so great full in life as you are wonderful things will come back to you as they have. A great full heart is truly a blessed one.

Welcome to Iowa! I live in Des Moines. What an absolute charmer. My dream is to someday have a little farmhouse. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
i would put a transom window above the door in the ground floor bathroom, and maybe even another internal high long narrow window to let some of the light from the other rooms spill in to the bathroom.
Hi Kristen, I just happened upon this today as I saw the thumbnail of the gorgeous house. A total dream with the wonderful property. What a blessing! I hit subscribe so I can see what other wonderful things you have.

Girl, SAME! I've got my work cut out for me!
I love old homes! I would have bought the house, just for the door knobs! Enjoy making the house your own!
