I absolutely loved that dark, first-floor bathroom. The whole house is gorgeous (except for the Insane Clown Posse clown in the home office, though I really liked that room otherwise).
My gosh, this house makes me want to cry! It’s so beautiful. I would consider this a dream home. I even like most of what the owners have done. Show stopper. One day, a home like this will be mine. Thanks for showing us this beauty. FYI-everyone, it’s now under contract. 😩
I love that house . The detailed brick work, high ceilings, transom windows, woodwork, etc. I like how they combined the modern furniture without taking away the integrity of the house. It's so beautiful and airy. A dream house!!
WOW! Incredible home. I just have to say that I so appreciate the owners’ sense of style, appreciation of the aesthetic and sense of humor which come through so beautifully in this house. Thank you for sharing this, I’ll bet it sold quickly.
They did a really great job with what they had to work with, I bet it took a lot of work, I really appreciate the salvaged items, as they give the house character. It must have been amazing when it was new, but with all the different uses it went through it finally is a home again. I love the urban loft feel of the third floor and the mixing of modern elements with the original moldings are perfect. They really stayed true to the design and gave it a modern touch that is so tastefully done. Surely a steal at 665k that’s how much I sold my 2 bedroom 2 bath 50;s ranch house in California in 2020.
I didn't think it was possible to successfully decorate a Victorian mansion in mid-century modern style and get away with it, but the owners have done it! This beautiful architectural structure of a bygone era is absolutely fantastic in its new incarnation! Everything flows, the colors are wonderful, the kitchen is fabulous, the bathrooms are beautiful... it all works! Well done!!! Another great tour, Ken, thanks!
What an incredible house! They really did a fantastic job restoring the house and tying in the older and more modern styles, which is hard to do. I often don't like that, but this was well done! $695,000.00 is a deal, too!!!
Wow! Dimensional stained glass!?! I had no idea! The owners did a sensitive yet playful job of making this house a wonderful and classy place to live. Thank you for doing this tour!
Never seen a Keyhole house before. I liked the upstairs a lot. It has a lot of character. Way out of my price range, but I can see someone falling in love with it!
Your production is getting better and better. I like the way you paused talking to show room panoramas. I really enjoy your series and love getting to see into home that I have always wanted to go in. Great job.
Gorgeous house and a lot of house for the money! I get a real San Fransisco feel from it! I love the restoration work and I really like the colors and materials used! Would live to call this one "home!"
I love this. It's so beautiful and timeless at the same time. I wish that it could be mine. Maybe in another lifetime. I love everything about this house. If l could ever afford a beautiful house like this . This is my dream house.
The owners have definitely set this house up for their own tastes. The ski ball game on the third level is off-the-charts quirky! This place does remind me of a house my grandparents lived in during the 1950s through mid 60s. Not because it was quirky, but because of the exposed brick. I certainly have no problem seeing old and new features mixed together such as this house demonstrates so well. I imagine that keeping a house all original or even all period correct must be exhausting and difficult to manage. Especially, as you mentioned, this house had been so heavily cannibalized over the years it was empty. I give a big salute to the people who were able to take a place so badly neglected and turn it into a masterpiece! You never mentioned it, but I assume that it was called the "Keyhole House" because of the shape of the brickwork around the front door. Very nice and unique touch.
I loved the tour. If I had the money and lived in St. Louis, I would snatch that place up in a heartbeat. It's just incredible. The wall colors, the beautiful furniture. That house will make a family very happy!
It’s an absolutely gorgeous house! I’m grateful that they rescued and restored/renovated it. Loved the lighting and the restoration on the first floor (not a fan of the furniture and artwork choices, but the home itself was done pretty true to itself). Same for the second floor, but without the pretty lighting. For my own tastes, I don’t much care for industrial style spaces or furnishings except in commercial spaces, so... But having said that, it’s primarily furnishings and not the house except for the third floor and much of that is an easy “fix” if you wanted something more traditional. They did a marvelous job of restoring and preserving the character of the home itself! And that exterior brickwork is phenomenal!!! Great job, Ken!
I'm sorry, but as the owner, many years ago, of an 1898 Townhouse in Brooklyn, NY, I can tell you that kitchens and bathrooms should be as modern as possible today. You don't live like they did back in the 19th century ....and honestly, you would not want to. The rest is merely decor. But function beats form any day.
@@creativo4ever564 Did someone mention kitchens and bathrooms? I’m not seeing it… And I did say that it was primarily furnishings. Having said that, I agree that kitchens and baths need to have modern function, but it’s possible to achieve that function and still retain character.
This house is gorgeous. The owners have done a beautiful job, not restoring any original features that remained, but sourcing some amazing historical items from other buildings, and giving them a new purpose and a new life. This is the kind of older home I would love to live in. The restoration work was impeccable, and, as you noted, the more modern elements they added complement the home perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing. Well...I would probably get rid of that terrifying clown. But other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. 🙂
In my (unprofessional) opinion, I think that this home was very thoughtfully updated to meet the tastes of the average modern homeowner while retaining a certain (albeit toned down) level of its historical aura. With that said, if this had been a home that up to its most recent renovation was in its original, in-altered state, then I may have taken issue with certain aspects of its modernization. However, since most of the historical features of the property were actually brought back in manually through the use of salvage to what you described as essentially being a blank slate, I’m fine with the creative liberties taken. Ultimately, the end result was a beautiful home that anyone would be lucky to have.
The house is beautiful in the outside and the gardens. What a shame what happened to it in the past, being looted, it’s so sad! 🥺 Now honestly, I don’t like the inside and this one would not be my dream house for this reason: too much modern decor and modern changes. 🥴 I know some people like it but it’s not my cup of tea. My dream house would be like some other ones seen in this and other channels, all old looking inside! 😄✨
Not 100% sure but I think this is the Soulard couple that works/owns a marketing firm & had awesome Halloween parties. The one time I was invited when I moved into Soulard I couldn't go b/c I was out of town.
It's a stunner all right. It seems they poured tons of effort into making the interior unbefitting to the grand exterior and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. All that's missing amongst that GHASTLY interior is a statue of Venus with a clock in her belly.
What a magnificent house. The British influence is very obvious, especially in the garden. We always fence off our outside space as privacy is very important and open plan isn't popular.
The two windows you identified as double hung are not double hung windows. Double hung are two windows, one above the other. The windows you point out are casement windows.
House is very beautiful and appreciate the efforts to restore its charm though l am not a fan at all to the modern, retro style of furnishings, to me it doesn't add to but takes away. Beautiful back yard.
What did you think about this house? Let us know! 😀
Amazing
A gorgeous blend of old and new. I’d kill for that kitchen!
I absolutely loved that dark, first-floor bathroom. The whole house is gorgeous (except for the Insane Clown Posse clown in the home office, though I really liked that room otherwise).
hate painted woodwork
Needs an elevator.
Loved this house. So glad they restored and salvaged from other mansions. The furniture is an “acquired taste “
I'd call some of the furnishings Jetson's Retro, but I love that black and white bathroom!!
My gosh, this house makes me want to cry! It’s so beautiful. I would consider this a dream home. I even like most of what the owners have done. Show stopper. One day, a home like this will be mine. Thanks for showing us this beauty. FYI-everyone, it’s now under contract. 😩
We totally agree! It's our dream house!
I love that house . The detailed brick work, high ceilings, transom windows, woodwork, etc. I like how they combined the modern furniture without taking away the integrity of the house. It's so beautiful and airy. A dream house!!
We totally agree, glad you like it!
I would have written the same exact thing..now I don't have to 😀 Perfection 👍

Some amazing salvage finds. The colours are just perfect. A really beautiful renovation. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!

We think so too, glad you enjoyed it!
They probably have more money in that house than what they're getting out of it that is called a labor of love
Wow! Dimensional stained glass!?! I had no idea! The owners did a sensitive yet playful job of making this house a wonderful and classy place to live. Thank you for doing this tour!
As the daughter of a bricklayer, I give this treasure of a house 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Never seen a Keyhole house before. I liked the upstairs a lot. It has a lot of character. Way out of my price range, but I can see someone falling in love with it!
We are obsessed with the second floor!
I love this house! Historical home already renovated with modern amenities! Best of both worlds, and reasonably priced for what you get 😍
Wow thoroughly enjoyed the tour through this house.
Fabulous!
I love the old and the new mixed together! The color palettes were lovely as well😁👌
Absolutely stunning! Great juxtaposition of old and new! Love, love, love the kitchen and butler's pantry!
Your production is getting better and better. I like the way you paused talking to show room panoramas. I really enjoy your series and love getting to see into home that I have always wanted to go in. Great job.

I love this. It's so beautiful and timeless at the same time. I wish that it could be mine. Maybe in another lifetime. I love everything about this house. If l could ever afford a beautiful house like this . This is my dream house.
Beautiful house!, and I love the way you present these beautiful houses. Thank you,!,
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely Fabulous. Love the wall colors.
An interesting Biedermeier feel to the furnishings
You do such a great job Ken! I’m new to your channel and love it.
Love it! And all that storage. Wow!
Toothy Clown scared you on down to the Funeral room. (Yikes!)
Beautiful collection displayed in a brilliant way.
This house is incredible! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it!
This house is beautiful, I love how some of the items have been saved and reused.
Breath taking! I wish I wanted to live in St. Louis!
They did a fantastic job on this house!!
I like the bathroom with the dark paneling and the strongmen pictures.
That bathroom is a dream!
I LOVE that bathroom. Though so masculine, it’s also so cozy!
This home is absolutely stunning!
This is a Beautiful home. It is tasteful furnished
wow - amazing house and decoration.
Scrumptious

Wonderful home. The backsplash tiles in the kitchen are to die for👌🥰

🌟 My absolute favorite house (so far) thank you!
Glad you like it!
So Beautiful
Incredible home! Thank you for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like the features they brought into this home. Really pretty. They did a good job with the basic structure.
Beautiful job on the inside. A spectacular home!!
This is my favorite house thus far.
This is totally my style. A mixed of old and new. I also love the owners art work. I like to mix a bit of creepy in my old fashioned style.
It’s an absolutely gorgeous house! I’m grateful that they rescued and restored/renovated it.

This home is a real beauty!
So beautifully well done.
I liked it, very comfortable home
I love the house! Excellent tour as always!
They did an amazing job
Cool house with lots of great details. totally worth the price being asked.
Beautiful, the bathroom is all about. 😗
Stunning home

His and His matching closets, I'm guessing. That downstairs bathroom was fabulous. It's a shame they're asking so little for this home.
Great mix!!
So beautiful ❤
Really cool house!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it 😍
Great tour as usual Ken.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

This house is cool.
Is that clown painting from an amusement park haunted house ride? I like their relaxed style and they did a great job on yard.
It’s a custom made Halloween decoration for the keyhole arch entry way!
To me, it looked like a piece meant to create a vibe from the band Insane Clown Posse. But who knows.
Wow 👍
The savage items are tastefully and well incorporated. The 3d stain glass is a level above.
Nice home.
i love pocket doors although , i didnt know they can be this thick. inside reminds me of sanfrancisco victorians.
Wow, again.
I love this house
WOW!!!!
Thank you for showing this piece of history .you are getting better in your presentations.
Thank you so much! -Ken

I agree, i dont like seeing stainless steel kitchenware... but yes its a beautiful house and glad it was rescued.
TYVM!
Not 100% sure but I think this is the Soulard couple that works/owns a marketing firm & had awesome Halloween parties. The one time I was invited when I moved into Soulard I couldn't go b/c I was out of town.
Ooh! A Halloween party there would be amazing!
Beautiful. 😢😮😅😊
Wow! That kitchen and Butler’s pantry is so amazing!
If this was located in my area, it would go for double that 😭😭 it’s so beautiful!
It's a stunner all right. It seems they poured tons of effort into making the interior unbefitting to the grand exterior and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. All that's missing amongst that GHASTLY interior is a statue of Venus with a clock in her belly.
Hi How many cars fit in the garage?
It looked like a 2 car garage, but we did not actually go inside of it while we were there so we can't say with certainty.
45 cabinets! Where is the cabinet list of what is stored where? This kitchen needs its own command center! Beautiful, amazing house.
AMAZING!! Painted Woodwork (ugh!); Wood floors fantastic, lots of pocket doors, Exactly, how many bedrooms total? Thermo Pane windows? Basement?
Not a single complaint (yet) about the painted woodwork.
As someone else mentioned "They did a good job with what they had to work with".
I was complaining about that but in my mind. 😂
They picked out nice accent pieces to replace stolen or damaged parts of the home.That home in my market place would b over a million
❤❤❤❤❤
What a magnificent house. The British influence is very obvious, especially in the garden. We always fence off our outside space as privacy is very important and open plan isn't popular.
I do love this house but too far north of me. I'm a Southern gal lol
But 1 question, does the furnishings and such come with the home?
The furnishings do not come with the house, but we are pretty sure that the bookcases do!
A lot of those houses like that in the 60s and 70s were vacant some of them were used as boarding houses
The two windows you identified as double hung are not double hung windows. Double hung are two windows, one above the other. The windows you point out are casement windows.
shout out to those who came in and bought up soulard when it was a complete shit hole 40 years ago
he never ever shows my favorite and most interesting part of a house; The Basement?
DID THIS HOME SELL YET? IT IS MAY 10, 2022
House is very beautiful and appreciate the efforts to restore its charm though l am not a fan at all to the modern, retro style of furnishings, to me it doesn't add to but takes away. Beautiful back yard.
Hello, this message is for the owners of the house. If you would let a photographer shoot a model in this space please dm so we can work out details.
pocket doors
The smaller windows you referred to as “double-hung” are more accurately described as “double casement”. Sorry to be pedantic.
Thanks for the tip!
oh ...my... gosh ....me wanty, but me poor. :'(
the house is very beautiful but the decorations like the clown are an acquired taste for sure.
I need one big room closet and this home they don’t have …….
Love the house, hate all the modern style furniture and modern style everything they put into it.
