Thanks for watching! What was your favorite part about this beautiful gothic revival style home?
The previous owners did a wonderful job. The kitchen is delightful! A good blend of old a new yet maintaining the feel of the period. I love the pointed arch windows. Move in ready giving plenty of time to make any desired changes in the future. Love this house. Thank you for the tour.
I live in Belleville and just discovered your page yesterday and I'm OBSESSED!! you have no idea how many times I've driven thru and by so many houses/neighborhoods you've covered and wanted to know how old or more info on the buildings/houses. LOVE YOUR CONTENT!
The upstairs chapel element was nice. I wonder if the previous owner was a hairdresser and used the pink striped wallpaper room with the black & white floor as a home salon to do hair in.
I live close enough. Where in Belleville is this house?
I love this house!
I love the old kitchen cabinets and the old kitchen's wood floor and the room with the checker floor...and the door hardware and long rectangular windows everywhere and the master bedroom windows and bathroom and the long dining room and table - I dont think there is a room I didnt like :)
You just can’t beat a Gothic revival home. I don’t think enough of them were made in my opinion. What a beautiful little home.
This is charming with a lot of potential. The house needs professional restoration to bring out all its charm and period detail.
Yes, to see that nice baseboard in the closet is nice because you can at least match the new baseboards to the original. So strange to see those bay windows with no cases, mouldings, nothing but wallpaper. Maybe the previous owner started restoration but ran out of will or money.
Def doesn't need a professional, just someone willing to do a little bit of research.
This house has great bones! I hope it gets a dedicated owner who will give it all the love and restoration that it deserves.
Such a cute, quirky house. She definitely needs some love. The stain glass is beautiful.
We think so, too!
These home tours are so fun.
Glad you're enjoying them!
You’re very good at what you do and you could tell that you enjoy it
What an amazing house, just lovely. It’s also really much bigger than it looks! It’s also in excellent shape. Lovely porch. The most jaw dropping feature of this house….. the price tag. 125.000…. unbelievable. What a deal!!! You could also have a border to occupy the bedroom and lovely 2nd kitchen! At first l thought this house was situated in Belleville Ontario, Canada. Two second in l realized , it’s somewhere in Illinois. If those house was listed in Belleville, Ontario, l would think the price tag would be more like 5-600.000! No, I’m not kidding!! Housing prices in the area where l live are have doubled this past year!!! I can’t believe this house is selling for a measly 125.000!!!!
I would factor in the school district as well.
I really like the original windows and wood floors. Some of the updates are not very sympathetic but could easily be changed. I love the style of the exterior. The price seems so cheap - Where I live in England £230,000 will only buy you a 350 sq ft apartment but I suppose that is true in other areas of the US too. Thank you for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it! In the US, the further away from the city center you get- the more affordable houses become
Ahhh, the British penchant for understatement. What you call "not very sympathetic," I call utterly abominable.
What a gorgeous house. I particularly like the entrance hall, the pointed gothic windows, and the ornate "pierced" varge boards
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ilove the way you describe and your these homes you are so informative and helpful and throughout the tour you explain everything about ifs fixtures and decorations and style you have done a great video on the home
This is just an outstanding tour! The information and description are excellent!
I am a sucker for stained glass. Its beautiful!
What a beauty! So many nice features - lovely windows, floors, transoms, etc. It’s livable so someone could move in and do all the things that need doing to restore this house. Very doable! The exterior is adorable and it could be equally as adorable on the interior and much of the work could be done by someone who is relatively handy.
Thanks, Ken, for showing us this one - I really loved it!
Sorry - I had written a really nice, detailed comment and my phone decided to shut down and lose it all. 😢
Silly phones! Thank you so much! The house really is a dream for someone looking to restore it!
I love this house! The wallpapers are gorgeous.
That's a beautiful old house.
The house has many cool vintage features. I love wall paper so that's a plus except the bit in the first kitchen. Hard wood floors are always a plus. A lot of potential here. Thanks for the tour. ❤
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Makes me curious what the pink striped room was used for.
I am blown away by the price of that! Omg what a beautiful house!
What I wouldn’t give for an extra $100k, a priest and to live a little closer.
This house is darling and could be a showstopper but agree with a previous comment about the upstairs being a bit spooky.
I laughed out loud because I used two of the same wallpapers on the main floor in the early 90s.
Very charming house with gingerbread trimmings.
Somebody was ceiling fan happy.
I love your description of the kitchen as "farmhouse shabby chic!" I don't know how much thought you gave to that phrase, but it fits perfectly. What I wouldn't give to be preparing meals in that wonderful kitchen. Well, if it were nearer to me. There is nothing on this Earth that could persuade me to move to Illinois!
What a charming home!
This house has a little but of everything! Great price too. Just a little TLC & what a charming home it would be 🏡 thank you for sharing!
We totally agree! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this! Thank you for the tours!
Arches can be pointed (as in Gothic) or rounded (known as Segmental) but not both at the same time. Those windows have Segmental arches.
Beautiful. Was interesting about the 365 pickets of the fence! So many amazing details of this home!!!
This is a beautiful gothic style house!
Oh wow. Expensive Fanimation Brewmaster fans in the kitchen. Very nice and a rare touch. Contrary to other comments, I'm glad to see them running and functional.
This house is rough and begging for some tlc.
Fortunately, it's rife with potential.
The pointed arch windows are by far the best feature as well as the front yard lamp.
Updates could easily top 100k.
Seems bigger inside than the exterior anticipates. That double mantle, though, is closer to 1900 than 1860s. That master bedroom needs baseboards. The kitchen is a gem, though perhaps that is half a Majestic stove?
Wow! Lot going on in there ..lol I really like the house. I like the floral wall papers down stairs, but aren't they more Victorian though then gothic revival? I like the downstairs kitchen but don't like the wall covering or the chicken wire on the cabinet doors. If this was a old farmhouse it might be more fitting. Love love the tin ceiling. I see robins egg blue walls and maybe that tin ceiling as a back splash as well. Those 2 room beyond the kitchen has some real potential. I see a butler pantry but they are usually off of a dining room, and then a laundry room beyond that. I think I would take out 2nd floor kitchen. I am a tailor and I think that would make me a great sewing room..lol I love all the bathroom fittings. I think they stay in keeping with the house. Picket fence...awesome! Staircase and entrance hall lovely. I also love how the front door is set off at a angle. Gothic revival was started in the 1700s in the UK. It's funny how the style stuck for over 100yrs.😉 Oh Ken, fun fact, my husband's name is Ken.👍
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video!
-Ken (but not your husband 😂)
@@ThisHouse 😂
Than. THAN!
Beautiful home with good bones! I do hope whoever buys it understands the original windows are priceless. Just say no to vinyl windows, okay?!
2 cellars. How perfect for my...plans
It would be really helpful in these housetours, if you put up a floorplan 🙂
When we are granted permission to, we do. The most popular floor plan we've shown was during our tour of the Magic Chef Mansion. If there is ever a floor plan that you would love to see, and we weren't granted permission to show it, we can share a link with you. Just ask us :)
That would be a nice house to restore, especially at $125k. It breaks my little historic heart to see the slate roof was replaced with shingles
A lovely home...to be enjoyed for many many more decades I hope!
Fabulous little house.
I love your tours and your eye for details! I hope you'll have Nathan back soon.
Thank you so much! Nathan will be back on the channel soon, life has him busy at the moment.
I love this house s much. Great place Ken and great share Thank your.
It's impossible for me to hear the price of that home and not want to jump on it. I live in Idaho and the price for a not even nice home with 2 bedrooms and one bath is way more than your lovely little gothic revival. Although I have no idea what the yearly taxes would be. I love that home. 😊
I want to go down into the cellar so bad!!! Who’s going with me!?!?
3:26 the corner shelf may have been to hold a telephone 📞
Really good price , needs some work so I'm sure that's why the price reflects but what a great house ! Little kitchen update , get some of the obvious things that aren't original out and change that upstairs kitchen into a bathroom because it's not a 3 bath , it's a 2 and a half bath but endless possibilities. I would love to see a original floor plan or figure out how it was originally planned out for sure !
what a wonderful home!
What a cute little house, and you can’t beat the price, with my budget of 300k I could do a substantial amount of remodeling and upgrades where I would give it even more of a period look and feel, I could spend $10,000 I’m wallpaper alone and have my William Morris dream cottage, I’m kind of iffy on the second kitchen but with my roommate it could work well he could have his own kitchen that I wouldn’t have to look at, but really that kitchen can be converted into an arts and crafts room with working sink or even a laundry room as I didn’t notice the house having.
That amount of work being put into that house would really make it a special place!
What a treat! Thank you! 😊
MY kind of house. Just love it!
I love this home. It reminds me of the ones I lived in while growing up in Oklahoma.
Love this house 😊
I love the down stairs but the up stairs looks haunted.
Wow what I could do with that home!
Love the windows, interesting updates
Awesome !!!!, you do a great job as well
Thank you!!
WOW, some of that wallpaper is hurting my eyes! No central AC. You pick out the most interesting houses to investigate. Doesn't look like Thermo-Pane Windows. Amazing Video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ahhh I love it!
Love the house.👌
Always check the pocket door before filming 🤣
so cute
Cool 😊
They need to knock off another 25k just for the wallpaper removal alone.
Oh would I love to own this house (it is not to big). Thank you so very much.
Enjoy the house tours. A soft critical observation slow down. show all bathroom fixtures ,open all doors
Thank you for the feedback!
$125,000?!? Holy shit, I can't find a tiny one-bedroom condo in a modest Pittsburgh suburb anywhere near that low!
I'd restore the exterior to be period correct, then gut the interior to be one large room.
who knew there is something like this hiding in belleville!
A hidden gem!
there are lots of great old houses in Belleville
@@jbc1715 now i know. :0)
See Highland, Illinois also
Update: Did the house sell? Enjoyed the video!
I could go for this kind of house too :) as a side note would it be dangerous to paint a radiator though? I mean the pipes getting hot putting out any fumes from the paint ??
It generally isn’t recommended to paint radiators, but there are safe ways to resurface or stain them.
ok thank you @@ThisHouse
That's not a bad price 😊
I can’t even buy a closet for that price in Portland!!
What a beautiful house, amazing! Why is it so cheap? All that house for $125,000.00? Wow 😲
We're glad you enjoyed the house! To answer your question, it is far away from the economic center of the greater St. Louis area metropolis. Homes in rural settings tend to be very affordable.
@@ThisHouse Thanks for the answer! 🙏
I am clearly living in the wrong city. That is a beauty and a steal! You have so many nice homes on your channel.
I agree w Ken. It’s not right off the highway and the schools are so so.
Ceiling fans! OMG
The exterior is amazing, but the modern wallpaper and restoration is a bit of a mess. Sometimes homes just don't need this much color, or bright color for that matter.
The only thing I like about the house is the exterior.
Similar one in Highland, Illinois
That's interesting! We would love to see it! Highland isn't too far from us
It would take another $100,000 to get into shape.
Ancient windows look super drafty.
But they add so much charm!!
“Iconoclastic” means destruction of the iconic. I’m sure it was a slip of the tongue. 😉
Oh my goodness, it was a slip of the tongue! Thank you for politely pointing that out! Oops!
I paid 56,000 for my house. North eastern PA
I would need to take at least 50k off asking price due to wallpaper removal. What a shame!
It's a tarted up dump....well below Ken's usual presentations......
Whomever renovated this house took the vintage look too far.It's ugly.
Pretty bones.
TURN OFF THE CEILING FANS WHEN FILMING!!!
Feels haunted 😬😲
The Barbie Pink & Black and White tiled dining room has a frightening Blue Velvet feel to it. 😵💫
Iconoclastic does not mean what you think it means. adjective. attacking or ignoring cherished beliefs and long-held traditions, etc., as being based on error, superstition, or lack of creativity: an iconoclastic architect whose buildings are like monumental sculptures. breaking or destroying images, especially those set up for religious veneration.
Thank you for your feedback.
I think you mixed up the words iconic, classic and iconoclast. There’s no such word as icono-classic. An iconoclast is something that breaks the mold of a typical style. Otherwise, it’s a cool video.
You are correct, thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Lots off potential
Next time make sure fans aren't spinning infront of white light when filming. The rotation of the blades quickly shutting off and on the bright white light in combination with the shutter speed makes the white old kitchen unbearable to watch especially if there are viewers with epilepsy who are easily triggered by rapid light shifts. Kitchen looked great but couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of it.
that's not what iconoclastic means
The wall paper is awful!
this poor guy is doing a great job trying to make the best of this house.It's sad but funny.
the wall p aper sucks, and the wall to wall carpeting ? terrible
Ugly paint color combinations & ugly wall paper
$125K for that? You’re kidding, right? 🤮
That kitchen is hideous
Broaden your vocabulary
KNOW your vocabulary!
Update: Did the house sell? Enjoyed the video!
There was a bidding war, it sold for 260k
