Very nice house. My Belgium Ardennes house is from 1870 and built in the time that this part belonged to the German Empire. 20" full stone walls. Only the attic and the bedroom floor have their old doors, walls and ceilings remaining. Slowly i am trying to bring back some of the old atmosphere back. It is white with 90 year old slates as roof.
THANK YOU. OUR HOUSE WAS BUILT IN 1909 BUT HAD SIMILAR FEATURES.. your video was wonderful so i could picture how our home looked in 1909. And b-t-w, our entryway with the corner open staircase is just like your's, almost.
It takes me back to the house I was in ( a remodeled 1871/ 1898 Vic Foursquare which still retained a colonnade, two parlors, the narrow entry, a beveled glass large wood door, and pull pin 1/1 narrow windows). Thanks for the tour, especially upstairs.
Too bad the wood work was painted in the library the rest was beautiful, but I really would like to have seen the Master bathroom and the other bathroom (not formerly maids) that this home had to have had and really interested in seeing the entire kitchen not just the wall with the call box. I want to see the space to see if stuff in it's original place etc ... I'm the cook and baker, My grandfather's house had a cramped kitchen and things moved from their original spot as time went on i e. Where the small dinette sat was where the original coal stove sat with a exhaust hole in the ceiling lead up to the outside vent and where the modern gas stove sat was the original spot that the ICE BOX sat and where the back door was,was now blocked off by siding but the door wad left in place and the refrigerator sat ib front of it with the side wall was open pantry shelves which were original and the once formal dining room was turned into "The Parlor" or Den/TV room, your place still has its original rooms set up so no changes necessary to the extent my grandfather's house had so the kitchen should be more original, these are important things to see Just in any and All bathrooms especially in older Homes like This. Oh My grandfather's only had one bathroom on the second floor where the bedrooms were so still had the original fixtures and tile work. Would like to have seen the different patterns in all the rooms as you mentioned plus the tile in all bathrooms and kitchen, cabinet styles etc... Thank you for keeping up the home as you have. Question did the library go into the one of the rooms you showed, you could see a doorway but you didn't go or show what was through the doorway?
Your home is absolutely impeccable! Beautiful! It’s so refreshing to see an anti-open-concept house, may this beautiful home be preserved for many many more years to come!
Im glad to see you have kept it pretty much as when it was built, not modernized. Would have liked to have seen the kitchen though. Beautiful, reminds me of the house I grew up in than-you
Unbelevable, mindbogling ! Thank God all those generations who lived here , kept their hands to themselves ! Just verry good housekeeping and cleaning . Just imagine you want to built this house now from the ground up , can you even find the craftsmen to do it , that furniture , woodwork , stained glass ? Even IF you find these craftsmen , it will cost you tens of millions to get this made ! To realise that there had been thousants of these beautifull houses in the past , all modernised or demolished makes me allmost go sick . I am an oldfashioned Dutchman who keeps his tipically Dutch interior , dark oak furniture , Delft blue , landscape paintings , in good shape because I love that oldfashioned craftsmanship and inviting warmth of those old interriors . Thank you for showing this marvel !
Whoops cut my SELF off!!!! (NOT clever AT all) I would've LOVED to've seen a LOT more of 3rd FLOOR!!!, but you have an AMAZING BEAUTIFUL+ORIGINAL home , Sir, it is FABULOUS ...... HATS Off to you + your wife(?!!)for the decor .... EXCELLENT WORK , REALLY !
Huh somewhat bigger and much more opulent than my great-grandmother's home in Haverhill MA but so very similar in layout. One difference was the back stairway led from the unfinished attic space behind a second-floor bedroom, past a short landing at a door to the kitchen, and continued straight down to the cellar. It was terrifyingly steep and treacherous and ended in darkness.
