When I see a Victorian home, it's like a living entity, not just a house. Their beauty and charm is just unmatched.

Whoever is reading this remember - you are loved … you are enough … you are worthy … you are irreplaceable … you matter

My heart cries when you see all that gorgeous, gorgeous, wood painted over. Why, oh why, do people not see the beauty and craftsmanship of that gorgeous wood.

I have died and gone to Heaven and I haven't even seen inside yet! There is nothing I love better than a high Victorian queen Anne house! Thank you, thank you! I really wish I could buy this.

i love that you mention removing the paint from the woodwork. i always love to see original woodwork in these homes! :)

The house that never ends - what a glorious home. So much potential - thanks for the tour!

It just doesn't stop going, ever! I was honestly expecting 2-3 million for this beautiful old home! And I know Laine isn't a real estate agent, but ma'am you would be fantastic as one if you ever decided to go into it!

I love the burgundy and lilac colors tied throughout!! Such a stunning house! …And for a great price?! Wow! 😍

YAAAAYYYY!!!!! A SPONSOR!!!!! SO PROUD!!!!!!! Great ' commercial ' I loved it! 🥰😆

Oh my, this is my dream home!!! I can just imagine my little girls playing with their dolls and reading books under the stairs!! ❤️

In the Judy Garland classic "Meet Me in Saint Louis" which took place in the span of 1 full year beginning on a hot August day in 1903 and ending a year later when the family visits the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition & Worlds Fair in, you guessed it, Saint Louis. My favorite aspect of the movie (aside from Garland's amazing singing voice) has always been their house. They live in a big Victorian Gothic Second Empire style house on Richmond Avenue, an Avenue lined with large Victorian single family houses that were a hundred feet from the road and 3-4 floors in height. The set designer definitely understood how well those homes were lived in and really weren't grand Mansions for the upper classes but built by and for professional working men (their father was a lawyer) who's salaries allowed them to build larger homes so they could raise big families and have all the comforts they could afford. It was a nostalgic film, released literally only 40 years after the fair, so 50 & 60 yo grandmothers would have been btwn 10 & 20 yo in 1904 and remembered everything about the houses they grew up in and would have recognized the large but very modest practical furniture, the way the kitchen was set up with a huge iron wood burning stove that their cook and house keeper (played by the legendary Marjorie Main) would praise as being able to "cook anything in that stove!" when the idea of moving to NYC and living in a tenament with "little pot bellied stoves". But the main reason I mentioned this movie is because there is a scene after the elder sisters have a party and soon after everyone leaves Judy has to turn out the lights all throughout the house before locking up and her crush, "the boy next door" is asked to stay with her "in case of mise". She grabs a long pole with clips on the end and she proceeds to uses it to reach up to the "Gas-aleir" so she can turn the knobs that control the flow of gas, and the light that remains she simply presses the button on the wall that controls the electrica bulbs. The wall sconces are also gas and she uses a shorter stick to turn those off and the living room chandelier is all electronic and shut that off with a button. I always found the idea of living in a time when you had to turn light off the old way and the new way quite fascinating. And those grandmother's in the audience I'm sure had fond memories of doing the same as so much has changed in their lifetimes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-70T47mC-jxY.htmlsi=rB9vXUYfaG9AEbaz

Imagine this place decorated for Christmas. 👍

As you entered and walked about the 1st floor, I was taken aback because the layout is almost identical to my house in Pittsburgh, only much larger in scale. Mine stops at the dining room (depthwise). You walk through an arched doorway under the stairs to go to the kitchen and skullery. I was absolutely shocked when I saw the kitchenette next to the rear bedroom. I have the same layout there, too! Sometime in the late 50s, they knocked out the wall to what was the 5th bedroom and created a small kitchen for my great-grandmother who lived there until her death in the early 70s. Going back downstairs, as you enter the living room from the foyer, there is a set of glass pocket doors that had been sealed into the wall for decades & there's a matching set that separates the living and dining rooms. Like I said, my house is on a much smaller scale, coming in at a little less than 2,000sf and was built in 1912. OK. I've officially rambled on long enough, so I'll wind this up with a big thank you for doing this video. p.s. This is Larry. We chat all the time on IG. 😉

Hmmm, I think I’d make those two kitchens one big kitchen. I would also definitely try to get rid of all that white paint. What’s nice is you could definitely live there very comfortably and work on the projects when you had time.

I absolutely love Love the way you give wonderful detail about each home!! Kevin does a great job with the camera and drone , he show every detail!! Love your channel thank you so much👍💜

This house is a dream. Except the location.😔 To far away from family. Hope the house finds the perfect owner. As always, beautiful video.❤️🤍💙

I can't even with this house. Its phenomenal!

Thank you for another tour of yet another beautiful home. It's overcast, windy and snowing here so it was the perfect little escape!

I love how you choose the perfect time of day to showcase these beautiful homes. I really enjoy your videos, thank you for showing us all of the beautiful homes you visit. 😁

Heck yeah, get those sponsorships!! Love to see it!

When I bought my current house, it was known locally as The Doll House. And she is!

Beautiful home & great extra house for B&B! Love the pool!!! Not a bad price either!

I have found my dream home!!! OMG, now I need to win the lottery and convince my family to move to the South! My all time favorite home is a Queen Ann Victorian and this home is ticking off all the boxes except a nice yard space for the dogs. I would most definitely start stripping paint! The first thing I said when we walked in the front door was “OMG, why did they paint all that wood?!” I love all the claw foot tubs in the bathrooms and would most definitely keep them in the home. I like the idea of having two master suits, one upstairs and one downstairs, although it is not true to the period of the house, with all that room, why not?!! The four season room would be my spot! Put some over stuffed chair’s and a couple side tables, some beautiful old lamps and a couple piles of books! This home is absolutely beautiful, with a few changes and a little work (especially stripping paint) it would be a complete stunner!! Thank you so much for yet another beautiful home tour. I can’t wait till y’all get back to Pearl and big sister!!!

I agree all the white paint has to go, what a task that will be, but well worth it. The tile work on the fireplaces so gorgeous. I agree I would change the kitchen.

It never fails to kill me as to what 500k gets you in a non New England location 😵

Love your videos! Music, tempo, great content! Thank you for the hard work of pulling it all together.

Oh my heart! LOVE LOVE LOVE, It's simply heaven!!!!

-*Warm and dignified, gracious proportions and flow. So much potential.

My Dream Home! You do such BEAUTIFUL videos! Thank you so much! ❤🏠🏡

that back porch is everything:)

Wow! Beautiful home! And you're right it's move in ready. I think for a while, I'd leave the floors alone and concentrate on the fireplace areas. This house is wonderful. Thank you for showing us.

I love it and it goes on and on and on…. Looks like it was absolutely a boarding house, what incredible stories this Queen Ann could tell.

Never seen or heard of a gazebo porch. I am entranced by it.

Wow! In California you get a small 1325 Sq ft house 3-2 for over 500k! That's a gorgeous dream house for 500k!

Wow! What an awesome house! I think my hands would be itching to remove all that paint off the woodwork. It is HUGE house , if only it were that on the west coast for that same price!

First ti.e watching...absolutely LOVE this place!!!! If only...

Stunning!

This is such a charming place! I really love it❣️I really like the second kitchen.

Wow this exterior is incredible guys!! We have parquet floors in our 1930s home. We chose to leave the floor because the detail is just beautiful. We feel its part of the historical charm of our home.

That exterior color is gorgeous. The yard definitely needs work, cleanup & redesign. It sure needs the paint inside removed, a bit of remodeling, but it's very beautiful. I don't usually like a parquet floor at all but I could live with those, at least till everything else was done. I hope someone buys it who won't ruin it, and honors it as it deserves. Great video! And...That shirt is just the right proportion for you, it looks great! ❤

Now this I love because of the pool.. except for the two kitchens love how you show the homes🌹

Love this home! Thank you for mention about pearl.

Theses are the first fireplaces I’ve seen with the enclosure. I love them. Beautiful house.

OMG!! I would kill to have that hime it’s gorgeous! 🥰

I wish I could live here! Dreamyyyy

Love, love that entryway staircase. So pretty. I'd change that wall color, though.

I absolutely love that kitchen as is and the enclosed patio. I used to have an enclosed patio off of my kitchen and wished I had a cooking area in it.

I think the national historic should be involved in all the older homes. To stop people from destroying them.

Wow, incredible price! This place has a lot going for it. I’d feel fancy every day living in something so elegant.

Laine, I love your exuberance when you show these lovely old jewels. I agree, I'm a wood loving woman myself and that paint should be removed to allow the gorgeous wood to shine through. Those fireplaces are real beauties! Thank you for entertaining and making me very happy at bedtime. Sweet dreams to come!

This is my style for a dream home but not my husband. We love seeing polished wood on stairway

I love that kitchen and back porch! I think the pale yellow with black onyx countertops is beautiful. I think the the rustic kitchen prep area inside the large back porch has a style all its own making that house quite unique. Love you and love your show!

Love the big old Victorian, but I hate what they did to the beautiful wood work all though the home they painted it . Why does people do that when they could of bought another newer home . Then they cover up all the floors with new flooring, unbelievable! Love the back bedroom on the another side of the house I would fix it up and make it my very own. I love peace and quiet. Then I would redo it and make the rest of the home a bed and breakfast. People love old Victorian homes. Thank you for sharing the video with all of us .

I have to say I'm loving your channel! New here and I'm currently binge watching the restoring your Victorian playlist..love it, yall are awesome!

Stunning 😍

Holy cow! Beautiful home with lots of possibilities!

What a charming tour of an amazing house. Restoring the kitchen is a must! You’re the best!!!

❤❤❤❤❤ this !!!!! And at that price it’s a good buy!

Y’all do an excellent job of touring these lovely homes, the information and the drone work is great. Thank y’all so much! My mom’s side of the family originated from Little Rock and other areas of Arkansas. I would love to visit There again one day. I was 10 when we were there last, now I’m 49, it has been awhile. 😉

this is my dream home…sigh…. so gorgeous. Thank you for the wonderful video!

I actually like some painted woodwork. I like the dark mixed with the light

Simply beautiful!

This is a huge house!

Love the porch!

Beautiful! Would love to see an update once the paint is stripped off the wood and some original-style wall paper on the walls. Thanks for sharing!

Wow so beautiful! The house looks really nice, too. 😀

Some great ideas and choices for the master bedroom and bath.

I love this home and wouldn't change anything. Taking up the parquet flooring would be a very long and hard job. I lived in a home that had parquet flooring in the front hall and some of it came up and oh my the glue wasn't easy to remove so we gave up and just covered the missing tile we had reglued down. I wouldn't remove the paint on the staircase nor on the fireplaces. I'd be afraid I'd ruin them and the tile nor would I put a heater in front as it would detract from the beautiful fireplaces. God bless.

Love it!

I think it's perfect as is.

I agree that that painted woodwork needs to be stripped!!

This house is gorgeous.

Laine, in your spare time 🤣, show us what you'd do to the upstairs master bath. I'm too heavily vested in GA to move that far but my mind is spinning with ideas.

This House is Huge! 😳

I wanted to make Victorian dollhouses as a hobby. I love watching these! Thank you! 🙏🏼

What a nice place. It'd probably be the thick end of $3 million here in NZ.

Parquet flooring! - what were they thinking!

I bet your rehabs, tours, knowledge, etc has sold many a home❣️

Absolutely gorgeous home

Thanks again for sharing this beautiful home. ❣

Such a beautiful home. I would love to live in a house like this. So glad that wallpaper is finally being appreciated again

Thank you!!

Love love love you guys! This home is absolutely dreamy!

Each room has 4 or 5 doors? That is pretty fun! Think of all the kids coming into the room from every direction!

I so enjoy your channel. You do your homework. Each episode is a lesson in history.

this is my dream house omg & it would be about $3 mil where i am lol!!

MARAVILLOSA...y con una entrada o vestíbulo muy especial

Beautiful house

Stumbled on to your channel and have to say, I absolutely love your work. You two have such a wonderful ethos. What a wonderful plan to give back to your community by way of food security and restoring such things of beauty in the meantime. Don’t ever listen to any unkind words. You always look beautiful Laine and you look handsome Kevin. Love how you are so honest and genuine and show everyone the ‘warts and all’ truth behind restoring treasure. Thank you Laine and Kevin you have magnificent taste.

Wow! What a beautiful home built for today's entertaining. Air bnb, definitely! Thanks for the tour!

Beautiful

Beautiful ❤️

OMgosh I LOVE this house. I do 1/12 scale Victorian dollhouses. I would love to have a real one lol

I got to wonder if the original blueprints are still available. Because whoever buys it could restore back to its form and Glory

beautiful but i agree with you... those floors need to be changed back to wood !!! I can just imagine how royal it wil look.

YOU GOT A SPONSOR!!!! and ITS SQUIRRELS!!! How perfect!!!!

Love the colors

💜💚 Stunning

I'd leave the house the way it is, beautiful and I wouldn't want to hurt the wood by taking off anything, it's beautiful as it is,
