Now that you mention it, they do look like quarter sawn oak. We will double check our notes and possibly pin this comment if we find that they are not Bird's Eye
What a beautiful house I love the wooden floors and the tin ceiling, the entry way is so zen relaxing . I love the bar and the kitchen is to die for. I love the brick in the kitchen and the fireplace is nicely proportioned. All of the additions are so seamlessly placed, I love the stair bannister and jewel post . The bathroom is so period accurate the placement of the house next to the park is a lovely spot. The upstairs is really wonderful the master suite is stunning, a perfect blend of old and new so peaceful and charming I really love the turret room and my dog would love to sleep there too. A lovely home and the owners are so nice. Thanks Ken this was a charmer
It was great to see part of the original patina of the ceiling and to hear part of the story of the evolution of house. I enjoy the variety of house tours you bring us and some of the back story you always try to provide. Thank you!
i like the unpainted tin ceiling. Amazing, the whole concept! Are the wooden floors oak? Woodwork trim unpainted, great. 12 foot ceilings? WOW a basement!
I don't know what the owners were planning on doing with the room off of the secondary bedroom, but I really hope they kept that amazing mural on the wall. I can understand that when people buy an old house or building, they want to preserve or restore as many original features as they can. But, the changes that are made to a home, over the decades that various families occupy it, are also a part of its history, and I think that some of those features should be preserved as well. They help to tell the complete story of the home. My favourite spot in the house was the turret space...I can imagine my cats claiming that as their space. What a wonderful little spot.
That was nice , I have a cash register like that two 1904 . Have you seen the house on 40 portland place? I see you're subscribed to Mr. Man been subbed to him for about 4 years, I'm a new subscriber Great channel , I'm in st.louis nice and gloomy today
The interior walls, recommend: *"The Paint People"* for options of color, based on owners desires, but there are whites and very light beige, taupe, tan, gray, that would offer a more comforting feeling, even the recent "Color of the Year" by Benjamine Moore that's a light soft warm a barely pink. Transitioning from Commercial to Residential can be absolutely Stunning, but it can also present a need for Professional Design Decorator to Advise. It is a great property, but I feel they could be amazed by how really great it can be.
Love this house !!! What a fabulous place to live. Yes, the good ole days when we went to the corner bar for candy, soda, chips and the occasional qt of beer and cigarettes for my parents. My Mother would give me a note for the beer, I didn't need one for cigs. 🤣😇
It always been funny that we Americans use terms like "Victorian" to describe 1837-1901 buildings in the US, If we used the terminology correctly, based on OUR "rulers" reign, a 1908 building is properly "First Rooseveltian", LOL If we are sticking to British monarch eras, I guess it's "Victorian style", But since Queen Victoria died almost a decade before, It's REALLY an "Edwardian" building.
