What a gorgeous exterior, stunning entry, and so many amazing features and details throughout the house. Thank you for doing these tours! Watching them is like getting a hit of dopamine.
That house has a lot of potential and interesting detail. I was surprised to see “Fox Grape” wallpaper in the kitchen. This is still made today by Adelphi papers as “ Jefferson Trellis”. That was a fun tour. Thanks, Laine!
This could be a true beauty with some cosmetic redo. Very good bones and LOVE the stain glass colors. A lot of times I didn’t like the colors for the stain glass. Hard to decorate around but love these! Woodwork magnificent!
A beautiful home and a great price. Whoever buys this house is buying a gem. I absolutely loved the kitchen and all the unpainted woodwork amongst other things. Thank you Laine. As always your presentation is spectacular.
The realtor is listed below the video look above where you put comments and keep clicking on the word "more." If you can't find I can look it up and print it here.
Hi Laine, pocket doors are my favorite as well. However, I would go one step further and say in ANY home. I love incorporating pocket doors in todays homes as well. 😊
I love all of the 'house detective' comments. Half the fun of these tours is finding little mysterious details that seem out of place, indicating changes. Then comes the question...what was there before? This is a lot of house. I too love the simplicity of the transitional style. Easier to dust, lol! But to me there is something a bit more grand about a wider single column, smooth up to the heavy carved Doric or Ionic capital...maybe it feels more architectural, versus ornately detailed. And such a bonus that it's not glopped up with layers of paint. Laine, you always get these conversations going, which I enjoy so much. My husband's eyes glaze over when I talk about this stuff. Hi Kevin! ;)
Thanks for this lovely video! We have some houses in our small town up north here that look like this house. It was repeated over and over throughout the whole country. Plans were widely available for this house. Some designs were kit homes too! One of my favorite styles!!
What a Beautiful house! I wish I had the money (and I was about 25 years younger) to buy or save and one of these beauties. It just breaks my heart when I see a video about one that’s been abandoned or broke into and vandalized. There’s so many of them, that it does my heart good to see one like this. Thank You!
Yes!!!! Original woodwork. I'm sorry but painting original woodwork is a SIN!!!! And it is one of the things that trigger me like no other! Just don't do it!! Love this home it's GORGEOUS!!!!💜💜💜💜
The crystal wall sconces on either side of the parlor fireplace are screaming for a cleaning! And the house siding needs to be replaced due to rot. I don’t know if there’s narrow siding that’s still obtainable but the integrity of the house is in danger if it’s not replaced or repaired. Still, a beautiful house!
Im in love,again!!! Lol...This is also my favorite kind of house too. Ì love all the stained glass windows. It just makes my heart flutter.❤ Im always so happy when I wake up to see yous posted a new video, I hope all is well and happy with you,Kevin and the kids. Keep up the fantastic work, I will get down there to meet yous one of these days. I have my daughter hooked on yous page now too. Much love and many blessings to yous all. And Happy December!!! My Birthday is in 4 days, I think I will cancel this years, dont like the upcoming numbers . Have a great day❤
I LOVE this home! My favorite. While I love it too, I dont think id use the 50's art deco kitchen hardware though since the eras are so far a part. But id use them maybe in a laundry room...gorgeous nevertheless..a true masterpiece of a home. ❤
I purchased a 1899 Victorian how would I know if it’s a queen anne style home? I would appreciate your expertise on the purchase of my first Victorian home when I take over the property in two weeks, we will start some restoration work …Thank you.
Small critique, please clean camera lens, soo much beauty in this home and I keep seeing greasy blurs from fingers lol. Otherwise I love everything you and Kevin do for architectural preservation!!
It’s not a greasy blur: it’s an anomaly that only shows up when I have the camera zoomed out all the way. I have a choice: show you a small oddly blank span of wall, or show you the whole room with the anomaly in the camera. Your choice.
That porch-WOW! Like the graceful lines of a ship firmly planted on solid ground. This house has a lot of potential for someone good with color and an eye for symmetry and balance (me!) But this is a long way from Florida. 😂
The fretwork in the entry doesn't quite fit the space correctly. I wonder if it was possibly added at a later date? Something seems "off" with the turret, as well.
I would love to see this house "modernized" with heating and air and a newer kitchen. I hope someone who has the money to put into it gets it and makes it shine! One thing I hate about turning old houses into B&Bs is that they make the bedrooms so small so they can put in an en suite bath. I guess people staying for a few days wouldn't mind that, but I love the old, large bedrooms these houses had, and would love to find on that hasn't been changed.
The one think that didn't make sense to me was the turret on top of the porch roof, it looked like an add-on or afterthought and the flat roof did not appear to be correct and the windows were much smaller. Possibly a second floor open porch originally? Just seemed "off"
Yes! That turret definitely had a door at one time. You can see it, with the arched window where I imagine the door was. I think it either had a balcony of its own, or there was a balcony that extended all the way around.
A pity you didn't say a word about the sheer madness of the backstaircase: three doors to the outside, a vanished stairway down and so much mystery. lol
We had a house like that in Roswell, NM. Sadly the couple that bought it, started doing some bad remodeling to it, went thru a divorce, lost it to the bank and then vagrants moved in and it burned to the ground. I was so heart broken, i was trying to convince hubs to buy it and restore it, but he was dragging his feet. It had gorgeous stain glass windows, a copper bathtub, and a needle shower with malacite(?) walls. So sad. Its strange on this house they have lace over the transoms, surely nobody was tall enough to see in, haha.
🧏🦇 Was that you hiding up on the ceiling at timestamp 9:07? No! No way! Women tend to grab a broom when they see me do that. That was something else! 🕷 Don't look at me! Ok, just checking. Hmmm. What? Do you really know Batman? 🦸 Let's just say the warmest part of the batcave is above the bat computer. 😲
