FOR SALE: 1890 Victorian Mansion 

Oh my goodness Angie thank you!!!

Yes, a TV show would be nice, but for YT video, less of the host and more of the house, please!

You did perfect we dont need less of you, how rude some can be.

@@judy123 indeed lol! The host Laine is awesome especially during the reno videos, so funny and endearing.

@@judy123, but Laine knows what she's talking about, has a pleasing voice and props to Kevin for being an excellent videographer! I watch the young men going through old, abandoned homes and they make up stories about the families that used to live in them. They don't have the knowledge that Laine and Kevin have and I find myself saying out loud to the video, "Hey, what's that fireplace surround made of?" or, "That wood on the staircase is amazing, tell me about it!" and all they say is "wow, that's a 'sick' fireplace!" or "Look at this staircase! Wow, it's insane!" Something for everyone, but I love you two and your knowledge! And, Laine, your voice has a salesperson quality to it that's pure gold. Happy, smiling, not high-pitched. Just lovely. :)

The gardens are spectacular, as is the garden room.

I feel super honored. Thank you!

Yes it was!

I know right! I hope so too.

Me to. Seem like someone always buys houses like this in the usa and destroys all its original history and beauty.😢

@@sewforlife5728 I know, and I absolutely hate it when that happens. I will always vote to preserve the work of the artisans who produce the staggeringly beautiful detail we see in structures like this. I wish I was independently wealthy.

Exactly of my goodness 🤩

@@butwereallsombdyspecial Are you possibly related to a Ron Utz (passed away many years ago) from Illinois??

tooooo late!

Me too, Tim Baker!! That would be a delightful continuation of the home's story, and I'd want to know the history of each piece. * Heavy Sigh *

It’s because the man who owned it lived there and died not too long ago.

@@emmatyler4375 it's a 130 year old house. Had to be at least 2 owners!

She literally said the last family person moved out in 2015 and had started renovations.

@@sandyjuntunen4088 same family...one owner

Aww, I missed that too. it seems to have been accidentally cut out ☹️

She did. ...from kitchen to master bedroom and then some others.

She actually did . It was a wide stairway which I thought was awesome.

If you do buy this lovely home. My grandpa was a carpenter for 54 years of his life being the only grand child for 17 years I went to work with him every day so I can lay tile hang windows I have reroofed houses I hand carved doorways but I’m not a professional and I do a excellent job at a reasonable price if you get this lovely home and you need somebody you can let me know in the comments I would love to work on this beautiful home.have blessed day.😉

This house is a true money pit. But if you have the 3-4 million it will take to restore it (the official quote given for just the house-not the grounds was 2 mil. before construction prices skyrocketed.), the result would be priceless. The problem is that the house is overpriced for the location-Augusta is on the lower end of the price spectrum. There is a lot of good stuff here but there is a lot of deterioration and wear and tear on a house that hasn’t been maintained-there is a lot she doesn’t show!

@@annaramos9774 Makes more sense now. I'm also a real estate agent & the pictures in MLS clearly show a substantial amount of work is needed. I definitely wouldn't offer $1.4 mil for this property.

😂. I’m sure it is the “money pit”. I love that movie! My husband and I bought an older rock exterior farm house built in the 20’s. I thought we just needed to clean it and do a few things but after ripping the walls to the studs, replacing all the drywall, tape and bed, sanding down floors and restraining, epoxy countertops, painting the cabinets, having someone try to put more supports under the floors that were sagging I can say that there is still things to do. I now have back aches from drywall but I am an expert at tape and bed. I had already tiled and did some plumbing before. I never knew we would be retiring and messing with plumbing. I still see houses like this and think it would be fun to fix them up. If you pay someone else to do it all it might be easier on your back and be done faster but it has been fun.

@@annaramos9774 Thanks for your insight and honesty Anna! Have to say i like the "grounds" more than the house. It is beautiful, big and has many nice features but wow, i kept thinking how and why was this house allowed to deteriorate so much. A lot of work needs to be done, too much. I wonder what the history of the house is. Was it a plantation house? Someone had a whole lot of money to build and live there back in the day. How did this house fall into ruin? No family to hand it down to? The cost for purchase is high, and no doubt the proper restoration will take a couple more millions. Someone that has that and needs a big project could bring it back.

It would be fun to have enough money to restore it and then be able to afford the most like enormous utility bills, the property taxes, etc. So, if you can afford this, go for it.

That would be nice but it's more important to give people ideas and to get it occupied and saved.

That sounds so lovely! Always been a lil dream of mine. Congrats! 🍾🎉 much aloha! 🌈🌺🥰

3-1/2 acres...it's country-ish!

maybe these owners were not believers of that malarkey....

@@ohwhatelse no more "malarkey" than that of "magic zombie jesus in the sky"

I actually saw a spot on it that was chipped in the video and it was Haint Blue under the peachy color. When I saw it I thought "Oh look they painted over the Haint Blue!" If anyone is interested it's a minute and 45 seconds into the video.

Thank you so much Suz! Sometimes the negative comments hurt. You’re the reason we do this.

You're right Barbara! Louise entranced me like nothing before or since. I had even seen still photos from when the family lived there on another person's page/site from sometime in the 1970's with family. Super-casual photos and the house wasn't fancy, just awesome. That day I opened my computer and saw what I couldn't even comprehend will stay with me as one of my saddest days. To us, she was a living, breathing woman just waiting for Kevin and Laine to bring her back to life, even better than she was ever before. Life isn't always kind and we learn from the hard times, is what people say. Have a great day. K

I am in a 1890s remodeled 1870s home which when made into a foursquare had small closets, but in each room. Two walls were moved---hall closet expanded into one bedroom for a 5-1/2 ft lonf claw foot tub, and one closet expanded by moving another wall. They did this just as we would have :))

Same! I didnt win last night.. But Im not giving up. Id buy this and restore it to its original grandeur. Maybe update kitchen a little but of course redo plumbing..etc. Its a magnificent home....

The same. Oh how odd, to read my very thot.

@@anitajinfla9762 I really wouldn't update it...beautiful as is! Love the kitchen too. I might add a wall hung cabinet and move in a hoosier and old stove :)

I’m with you! Next time we’re in the area we need to knock on the door.

Definitely!

😍😍😍😍💕💕😍😍💕💕😏

I know! I'm dying for someone to properly restore this amazing property.
