We are back in beautiful historic Natchez, Mississippi this week for another stunning Victorian Fixer-Upper. Rarely do we find fixers that are in the absolute perfect location: walking distance to dining and entertainment, but here it is! This beautiful home sits one door down from one of the most iconic homes in Natchez, and just across the street from a National Historic Landmark. It is one of a row of Victorian beauties that makes up a movie set like block. Speaking of movie sets, did we mention a Hallmark movie was filmed here? We didn’t? Well, it was!
And this is our FAVORITE kind of fixer; a fixer that hasn’t been remuddled over the years. This home retains its original unpainted woodwork, Victorian mantels, tilework, and its unaltered gasoliers! All those impossible to find features are still here for one reason; the previous owner lived here her whole life and lived to the ripe old age of 92! She worked for the city of Natchez, for the assessor’s office, from 1947 until 1991. Can you imagine that kind of dedication?
Now, we’ve told you the good, but let’s talk about the bad. First, there is one bathroom (and one toilet) in this entire house. That means you’ll need to add a couple more. The good news is that the plumbing is already run to areas that could easily be converted to baths or is existing very close to. Secondly, there is some massive foundation failure in the center left of the foundation. We couldn’t do an eyes on inspection, but we suspect a failed pier or sill beam. Either way, the problem is fixable and at the listing price this house has PLENTY of room for the needed improvements.
Let’s talk about money. How much will it cost you to completely rehabilitate this home? We always assume you’ll be doing a good deal of DIY, because that’s how we roll. We truly believe you can complete the work on this home for between 200,000 and 250,000 absolutely maxiumum…and that number could be high. However, with the location of this home and its size, this house post rehabilitation would be valued at 450,000-500,000, leaving you anywhere from 25,000-75,000 right side up.
As always, we remind you that we are not realtors, and we do not represent this home or make any guarantees about its condition or availability. If you’d like to learn how to finance both the purchase price and the rehab in one loan check out our book at ourrestorationnation.com. To watch us tackle these same issues and solve these problems as we rehabilitate and restore our own homes make sure to watch our Restoring Our Victorian series!

You should do SC im looking to buy historic victorian home......You have any info on buying n purchasing
I want a historic victorian home 🏡 and full furnished with antique vintage furnitures🥰
Praying to locate historic home thats restored and able to purchase soon 🙏 by Spring 2023
I love this video as it reminds me of the house I am restoring - I just have to know how are the curtains hung on the picture rails? I wish I could get a close up - seems to be little to no information on the internet - so happy to find an example of it!
What a lovely old house! You are so calming and reassuring about repairing the foundation and structural issues. It’s very apparent you know what may be involved. About 20 years ago, I watched over time as someone purchased an on-the-verge-of-collapsing 1890-1900 house. They raised the entire house, added a poured basement and new support structures and restored the whole house as their residence. I watched as they s-l-o-w-l-y raised the house over months and months, then s-l-o-w-l-y lowered it back onto its new foundation. They converted the carriage house/stable/barn into a 3-car garage with an upstairs apartment. The house is beautiful and it makes me smile every time I pass it. Old houses are worth repairing!🌸
Oh Deborah that makes my heart so happy to hear!!! I would have loved to see that process!!
Finally! The woodwork hasn't been painted! Sing Alleluia!!! 🎵
Your enthusiasm for period homes is "lovingly" contagious. If I were only 30 years younger... GOD BLESS
I’m the lady in the brochure excited to get that stove ! We live in a 1913 Kansas four square and like a odd mix of mid century and early 1900s. Those gasoliers are wonderful. Think of Judy Garland in Meet me in St Louis”I can’t quite reach it” 🤭
How phenomenal that the actual instructions book is still right there in the oven !!! The old time appliances are SOOOOO much better built then the new appliances of today !!! Oh how I miss the good old days !!!
seeing the damage to the walls/floors/fireplaces, gives me anxiety. BUT, i have to say, you are so honest and calm in explaining what needs to be done to fix it, it gives me hope for the home. i really hope someone who loves it finds it and restores it back to its original glory. and i just love seeing all that original detail still intact. thank you for another lovely tour! 💛
This is the reason why I am obsessed with American-period architecture. The house is just like a dream. Here in Europe even though we have countless grand and luxurious architecture, we don't have the common residential housing style as Americans have. Especially from times gone by.
If I could I would get this gem, restore it, and just wait for Christmas to decorate that staircase and fireplace mantels :)
I just love this channel! We once lived in Natchez and my oldest son was born there. I am now helping him design & restore a 1910 home he recently purchased in central Mississippi and this channel has been so helpful!
Thank you!!!
Is it bad, I’d love for you guys to buy this one and take us along on her restoration 😅 so many beautiful homes and not enough people like you guys to restore them all.
The original gas chandeliers, oh my goodness. Whata Beauty
I'm so in love with Natchez Mississippi. I've felt blessed to know more about the beautiful homes in the area.
The colors on those fireplace tiles makes my heart happy!
I think you guys should buy it and restore it on your you tube! You’re the only ones that can do it justices! Then move there! So many other places for you both to fix and restore. Love your videos!
Oh my, I thought this type of thing impossible! Wish my 1910 home was in such original condition!
It's gorgeous. Pfft..repairs. Look at those ceiling heights, the woodwork and the spaciousness. That's the kind of house that will always increase in value. You'd have to look at it like prime real estate. There won't be any more houses built like that, in that area - ever. I would snap it up if I could. Unfortunately, I can't move right now. Thanks for another great video.
You are 100% correct!!!
@@OurRestorationNation You would never find a house this age, with one owner, the interior unchanged and *undamaged* with all of the fixtures and transoms and fire surrounds intact. All of the usual repairs and replacements that normally cost thousands don't exist here. I'm blown away that even the fixtures for the gas lamps are intact! This is a Victorian beauty.
Okay you guys win for best sponsorship video spot that I've seen
You two's channel is a truly happy place for me! I'm learning so much about architecture, history, and restoration which is a wonderful escape from all of the clinic and school work I'm usually focused on.
yes I saw this house on zillow long ago .
how gorgeous that staircase is beautiful
That will make a lovely home for someone special.❤️
Oh my that is a fantastic house and to be pretty much in its original condition is unheard of. Now your going to hate me, the kitchen would have to go. Blank slate to a freestanding kitchen. Reproduction appliances, sideboard, freestanding cabinets and a huge worktable in the middle. My dream kitchen. Thank you for sharing.
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
I just fixed the foundation in a 1908 Victorian farmhouse. The entire foundation settled away from the fireplace in the center of the building. The structure of the house itself (except for the front porch and a portion of an addition onto the back of the house) is fine - old growth timber. It took some time to find the right contractor, someone who actually lived in town and has great pride in his work, who was willing to tackle the project. It ended up being a little over $60k to completely address the foundation. The old growth studs in the balloon frame house are in great shape. Lifted the house several inches, added a support beam the length of the house, gave all the beams adjustable support posts every 4 feet. Gotta find the right contractor.
Amen! Or do it yourself
I love to see old homes that haven't been altered so as to lose their original character. I've always been interested in antique gas lighting and was fascinated in seeing gasoliers that are still original/unconverted with their gas burners that could be made functioning again. Hope someone who has the time, money, and elbow grease to do a proper restoration will purchase the home - and keep those gaslight fixtures!
Love hearing the history of these old homes. ❤
Without your channel, I never would have noticed things in old homes like transom windows, and mantelpieces with wood and tiling. I wouldn't even have the vocabulary for it! My husband and I recently toured Craigdarroch Castle in Victoria, BC and I went gaga over all the magnificent mantelpieces with exquisite wood and tile!
Thank you!!! And I’m so jealous!!!
This is such a gorgeous home!
Incredible furniture in this house, too. Whoever buys it should try to buy some of the furniture, too.
Natchez is a beautiful city and one of my favorites to take a weekend trip. It’s a city rich in history and beautiful architecture. I love just riding through and looking at all the homes.
Watched Nicole on Rehab Addict have one of her projects lifted to put in a new foundation. It had been condemned. The foundation issue for this house doesn't sound near as bad. The bathroom setup, I really like it. And I would want my main upstairs, the room with the covered porch would become a library though. Downstairs could be the guest bedroom.
I LOVE THAT STOVE WOWWWWWW THAT ALONE WOULD MAKE ME WANT TO BUY THIS HOME//
Gorgeous!!!!
What a beautiful home n to see it’s been u touched by everyone being painted. The fireplaces are gorgeous. That tiger oak my favorite n tile just beautiful. This home is definitely worth saving.
♥️♥️♥️♥️😊👍👍👍👍
I actually love that bathroom configuration!
I LOVE THIS HOUSE!!!
Absolutely love it!
My dream home. 🥰
Am in the process of trying to get one of those ‘one owner’ Victorians! 🤞🤞🤞
We don’t live very far from Natchez! It’s a beautiful place! We love going to Natchez ❤️
I'm always excited for your videos!
Oh my look at that front porch! Lovely home!
Beautiful!! I love all these homes, my dream would be a Victorian home as my final home!
I JUST looked at this house on Zillow TODAY!
Beautiful home. Hopefully the cost of repair will be at the lower end for the new owner. Wow 175 the price is right.
I love your blouse ❤ along with the home but mostly that top, it's adorable!!!
I love this house. It will be perfectly lovely when restored
That bathroom configuration with separate toilet room remained in New Zealand right through to about the 1980s!
On the pre 1900 houses, the toilet was originally in the separate outhouse with the laundry. In the bungalow era, the toilet and laundry was adjacent to the house, but you would still need to walk across the outside porch to access it! I’m guessing the separate toilet room within the house structure started in the 1950s and continued through to the 1980s.
Amazing the amount of original details!
Another beautiful home! Thanks for sharing!
Such a lovely home.
I have a friend whose banister is similar to this one!
WOW!! Such a treasure!
I really love your channel! Keep up the great work!
Wowza!!! Thanks for all you do!💋
Me: man, look at that gasolier!
Also me: you only know that term because of Restoration Nation. 😂
😊I love it!
Another Beautiful home and tour!
Beautiful home!
Just so lovely! ❤❤❤
What a Beautiful home!!!
Just beautiful.
Could we have a video with the structural engineer examing and explaining the problrm? It would be very informative and help many people. Thank you.
That would be great. I would like that too.
@@OurRestorationNation Wait a minute, wait a minute! Didn't Kevin just crawl underneath a house recently? Kevin! Kevin! If he needs some political signs from the neighborhood rounded up to lay on we could probably find those! Kevin! Kevin!
🏠🪧🧎😁
Kevin needs new knees!
@@OurRestorationNation The 🕷🕸 are going to be so disappointed. Oh well, Plan B- one of those robots that goes in to diffuse bombs with camera. 🤖
Just beautiful!!! 😍
always liked this house row
Loved this!!
Oh my goodness your shirt is beautiful!!! Will you share the brand and where you purchased it? We used to have a creative lady who sewed these from old quilts and bedspreads etc! Sadly she no longer sells anymore! Thank you for continuing to bring these treasures to us to view!!!
This is my own design! I sell them on our website ourrestorationnation.com/thinking-of-bees
You can follow me on Instagram @thinking.of.bees and that will tell you when my next drops are!
@@OurRestorationNation Im so glad I asked you! So beautiful! I saw you sitting at your sewing machine and the thought did occur to me that you would be that enterprising! how fun! Im so happy to know this! Thank you so much for replying!!!
Me: Cool house. Also me: Ahhh! Is Lane wearing one of those recycled shirts they make on Domestika!?! Then me: Oooooo, she sews ahirts and sells them! Awesome! It's adorable and colorful in a house that is so neutral! 😍
I guess you could say that the potential need for plaster repair afterwards is the main complication of foundation repair, particularly if the contractor rushed it or jacked it unevenly.
Love that home.
In my old age it makes me want to move south again with low property costs and mild winters
Love it!! 💗
Beautiful home Lainey
AMAZING ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Wonderful content guys👍🏻☺️
Another beautiful home!! I love this one!! Is that a “thinking of bee’s” shirt?!! Love it Laine!!
It’s sure is!!! I decided she had to stay with me!
another beautiful house, i love. your top is wonderful too
I love your shows
I love your shirt! It suits you perfectly!
Hi 👋 how are you doing?
Beautiful
Australia still often has separate toilet rooms.
Can't wait to see someone take on the stewardship of this wonderful home which is right down the street from our home Holly Hedges!
Oh Tammy we love your home! It’s a beauty!
Hi guys, thanks for all your vlogs that make me wish so hard to be back down South. No way I’m leaving Boston but wow, have you tempted me. BTW if you find any properties in Tennessee I’d be much obliged.
If I had the money, I would definitely buy and fix up this house, but alas, something like that is only a dream for me. I'd definitely have to have a downstairs ensuite, because I wouldn't want to have to climb those stairs every time I had to go.
Problem solved - put an outhouse in the backyard and take on some tenants. Lol.
Another dream home! Laine, where did you find that gorgeous top? It looks a one-of-a-kind beauty made by someone with awesome sewing talent! 🙃💚💜💙🙂
Laine made the blouse herself, I betcha. She uses vintage fabrics and works her magic with the sewing machine.
That top is so lovely I had to stop watching and check for other comments. Those sleeves are next level! Ok back to the house
caught that little statement about first home! haha new that was coming
Do one in Baton Rouge! I’d likely take on a project if you do. 😊
We need to. You never know.
Dear I think you have to open restoration company and healp to people who like to by historical house , many of us we don’t have connections right Profanel people like you ❤❤❤❤
Love it!!! I'm checking flights now to go tour this home. What does the backyard look like? How is the neighborhood?
The neighborhood is excellent. To be honest I didn’t even see the backyard. I’m guessing rather small though.
You guys commercial is so cute
Getting Truman Show vibes from Laine's bit of the Munkpack ad, hahaha. I enjoyed that little giggle in the midst of the lovely house tour. 😏
So are you keeping this top, or just enjoying showing it off? The colours of the sleeves, the red especially, are ridiculously flattering on you.🥰
She’s MINE
A beautiful house. Worth having the work done if can negotiate price down to cover it.
I'm pretty sure the fireplace in the dining room will have to be rebuilt
What a beautiful home with a cozy feel to it! I have a question. Have you ever shown a video of the home that you live in? I know it seems somewhat intrusive, but I would love to see what your home looks like inside!
Yep- here you go! th-cam.com/video/Fa_47Kb7qMI/w-d-xo.html
@@OurRestorationNation Thank you so much!!
It will take patience to wait while the foundation is raised. Is there a basement? Lovely to see all of the original features in such pristine (or gently loved) state. Also, the neutral colored walls with just paint will make the final (and most fun part) decorating prep work a breeze. I will not soon forget watching you scrape that horrid, stinky wallpaper & base paper off the walls of Pearl.
We didn’t see an interior basement access, and the backyard was locked and we couldn’t t get in. I’m praying there is a basement so foundation repair becomes much easier!
♥️ ♥️ 💙 Love from Tennessee 🦋
❤❤❤
Ever find out what year the stove/oven and cabinets in the kitchen date to?
Just sitting over here loving this home and wondering how slowly it would take to raise the foundation back up. I would think it wouldn't be safe to live in while doing that, but I don't know that, so I'm super curious. I just love it so much though!
I think it could take as much as a week or so. And you’ll likely have plaster repairs to make.
@@OurRestorationNation oh gosh! Only a week. My brain went straight to months and months! A week or two is soooo doable. Especially for this beauty. I just love all the knowledge I gain from you guys.
You made your top. I love it. Would you like some of my old tablecloths? Some I use and some I don’t. I gave a few to my niece, Cassie. She appreciates old things, too. I have dreams of making a skirt from one and a top from another, but I work full-time. That’s my best excuse. Keep sewing!
I would LOVE some!!! I will happily take anything you don’t want or need. I’ll be happy to pay you for them! Reach out either on Instagram or at orn@ourrestorationnation.com
Okay. Would you like photos of them?
I will display them like a fan, so you can see all the colors.
Sounds great!
Can you tell me which type of wood was used for the doors and trim and floors ?
It’s all gorgeous pine! Old growth, so grain is tight. I the mantels are oak
My wife wants to know where you got your blouse😊 !!!Please.
I made it! I sell them at ourrestorationnation.com/thinking-of-bees
Hello from Arkansas 🙂Iwish you and your husband could restore every old house! I see so many just falling down🙁 is there any government programs to do help do restoration?
Sadly no, other than tax credits. And those only help after a LENGTHY approval process and after the restoration has been done
@@OurRestorationNation well that’s sad news:((
I am curious how you often just pick somewhere for a bathroom; don't you need to put bathrooms basically over or under where the other bathrooms are? Don't you need to stack toilets in a vertical line more or less? isn't running toilet waste lines more complicated than just deciding I want a bathroom here? I would appreciate your thoughts because this is a problem for me in houses I look at...I want more bathrooms but can't figure out how to put them where I want them without having a toilet stack running down a corner of the dining room or situations like that.
You’re completely right that having bathrooms and plumbing in the same general area is optimal. Not to mention more affordable. But when needs be, you can make it work. A creative thinker can find solutions.
Late 50s on oven i think Lainey
Thank you Donald- isn’t it fun!?
@@OurRestorationNation yes it is
Would have been good to get into the basement and look at the structure. Maybe it's just a crawl space?
No basement and I wasn’t quite dressed for crawling through the scuttle hole
@@OurRestorationNation 😍😘 yeah, there's gonna be critters under there too, not just dirt. Lovely house!
