    This is my grandparents house! It has truly been overwhelming to see how much everyone has appreciated it. My grandparents have lived there for the past 30 years, but all the steps finally became too much. My grandma has loved this house with her whole heart, and I hope whoever ends up with it will too

    what an adorable and cozy house! The man that had built this put so much love and care into it, breaks my heart to know he never could enjoy living there. I have to give kudos to the narrator. He did a great job in showing the house with the descriptions and having our eye line go into the right direction rather than just walk over.

    They just don't build houses with character like this anymore and haven't for close to a hundred years. Storybook style is my absolute favorite. If I could build a house from scratch, this is close to what I'd be aiming for. These homes have a personality all of their own and I hope the future owners appreciate it and don't change anything.

      Houses are now built for modern convenience and function, as well as energy efficiency. this house is dark , small and has little planning for storage. This house has cute details but lacks any functional space. Look at the kitchen where are the dishes, pots and pans stored? Where is the food stored? How about the bedrooms? Where are the closets? Cute disappears when you have to hang up your clothes. Even in 1926 there were modern appliances that were used in homes built in that era. We grew up,in homes built BEFORE 1926 and they were well designed, light,good storage and the thought used for day to day living was apparent. Not so in this house. Cute doesn't transcend when you have to scrounge around for day today needs.

      @@christinemeleg4535 I see your point, but I prefer these styles. To each his/her own. Since men were the ones designing homes, for the most part, some of them did not consider how to make the kitchen more functional for the house wife.

    Modern architects strive very hard to be unique. But it

    I didn’t know my dream house existed until I saw this video. Oh I wish I could live in something like this someday. My heart breaks for the architect who poured so much of himself into the design and construction but never got to live there. I can’t help thinking that part of him continues to watch over what is so obviously a Heart Project. ❤️💖❤️

    This is the most charming little house I’ve ever seen, such a masterpiece. The designer not getting to move into it after all his hard work is just heartbreaking. This would be the perfect house for me as I’m an artist and would make good use of the studio. It has everything you need in a house for a little old man and his dog. I could have that as my forever house, although I love my house as well. Thank you again Ken you do such a good job and you notice all the tiny details that make a place special. I just love how cozy this house is, how it wraps around you gently drawing you up and down stairs, through arched passageways and secret rooms.I really am mesmerized by this little treasure and I have just the right furniture for it. If I was in the market again I would say sold. See you next time your friends ChuckandMax

      Just don't stand up straight when walking through it! Low ceilings, poor planning,where are the closets? or do you enjoy throwing your artist supplies on the limited floor space? This house has cute details but lacks thought for day to day living. How much charm is there when you can't see into a room due to few windows?

Raised out 3 children here, and yes, at 74 and 75, we are still here! We have maintained it and kept it up, facelifted the kitchen and hall bath.

    Love those St. Louis Tudor style arched door cottages, that one is a beauty. I had a smaller Tudor style cottage from the twenties that had one of the little cabinet doors to retreive the mail without having to go outside, it also had a small kitchen, peole had dining rooms and actually used them. Those red granite pavers came from the renovation of the levee and old riverfront street. My childhood house in the county had some of those for flower beds.

      Well, they’re accepting offers till Monday evening and then going from there. It mostly doesn’t work the way it used to where you put an offer in and it was dealt with right away. Now houses are shown for a period of time and offers are collected until a deadline is reached then reviewed and one chosen. I think $150k is a pretty fair price for a 2 bdrm, 1 bath, 1000 sq ft home with no garage being sold “as is”. 🤷🏼‍♀️

      After almost 100 years, this home, almost assuredly, has two major problems. Notice how the ground floor sits even with the grade (dirt) this is one of the aspects that gives the house it’s cottage charm. Unfortunately this means that the structural floor system (wood floor joists) are guaranteed to be rotted out, which is going to be a very expensive repair. And secondly the insulation in this home is minimal at best. Heating bills for this house will be double what new home construction would offer. Some people may use the term “upgrades” to refer to cosmetic alterations, but this home needs serious building envelope upgrades to be habitable. Buyer beware!

    I am one of those people that can't decide which house I could imagine myself owning, I love so many styles. THIS house is literally a beautiful mashup of every style I adore. It LITERALLY checks every single box of mine. I wish it were mine, 1,000,000,000,000,000%.

    I love this house!!!! For years, I've always wanted to see inside of it so thanks for this tour! I grew up in a mid 1930's home near there that also was modeled after a Tudor design. I really appreciate this incredible architecture, especially in this age where new homes are so lacking any kind of intrinsic value or charm.

    This house is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us. I would love it just as much as the previous owners, and I would have to give it up as well because of all the stairs. Beautiful house!

    This is beyond original and stunning, I'd move in tomorrow~!!! When the host/narrator mentioned making the studio into one's own.....I melted, I'm an artist. I could see myself sitting in that room painting, reading and writing, also the little 'mice' are just perfection! This is so beautiful a home due to how you can even feel the ambiance through the computer screen, love it!💗💗💗💗

    I am glad the realtor told the story of the people who just let themselves into the sun room & then wouldn't leave when she explained that it was still a private residence. Good point: Just because a house has a For Sale sign doesn't mean passersby can just let themselves in.

    I love the various stones! They are not just to hold up the house. I am thinking you prefer a newer home that is more streamline. This house is perfect and so artistic!

    OMG!!! YOU'RE LUCKY!!! In the state of Oregon, INVESTORS tore down my grandparent's house that was right next to a Church to build Apartment Complexes. NOT FOR THE HOMELESS!!!! I lived my first 25 years in that house. They tore it down late last year. I cried!!!!

    LOL...what Dana said reminded me of an old newspaper article I once read about a small old town in Maryland with an old stone school building that had been converted into a private home The owner said that some tourists walked in to look at the interior, not realizing that it was a private home as they looked around.

    It reminds me of the"crazy quilt" sort of bed covering. No need to have regimented brickwork when you can have mosaic of stone outside and of tile in the bathroom. The freeform jazz of architecture...
