I love that you know the history of this house, it’s restoration is beautiful
Hello how are you doing?
What a beautiful and warm home! You just have impeccable taste in decorating and colors... Enjoy it in good health with lots of happiness!
You are a joy to watch Kevin - thank you for introducing us into your home. With all the history, it's simply beautiful.
Texas Here. What a truly lovely home. The home is truly blessed to have you as its caretaker.
I know what you mean, because I grew up in an old house in Virginia, in the country.
And I KNOW that the house and property land was haunted.
The summer of 1983 when I left home at 17 yrs.old, I was only gone a month, and I had come back to visit and pick up some things, and as I was walking around on the property, I could feel the spirits communicating with me, saying, "It's nice to have you back".
(It wasn't spoken words, but a "thought" communication).
And when I was a child, 9 or 10, I had tried to sleep downstairs on the couch, in the basement first floor den area, because that old house had no air conditioning.
And anyone that lives back east coast states, knows what I mean about how hot and muggy it is at night during the summer. (I was just trying to stay cool, sleeping down in the basement).
Well, while I was still awake, and had just newly laid down on the couch, I kept hearing light whispering in my ears, and then gentle light playful tapping on my ankles, like the spirits were determined not to allow me to go to sleep!
At first, I had thought that if I ignored it, that they would stop and leave me alone.
But no, it just continued to get more and more, until I really became frightened, and I ran up two flights of stairs, back to my hot and stuffy bedroom on the top floor, I was so scared!!
Other things happened in that house, and on that property, that I wouldn't mind sharing, but I've probably exceeded my limit telling you all of this.
Sorry if I overwhelmed you. 🤓
I know what I wanted to say about you: It is wonderful to see a man who is so mannerly and civilized. Thank you. It is such a pleasure to watch you. Started with Petit Fours, now on your channel to work my way through. Thanks for the peek at your lovely home.
What a lovely tour! I adore the turret. And you have such style! Those colors are perfect. And that staircase! My goodness! I see why you fell in love with it. You've done a splendid job of restoring that house.
Wow what Magnificence. Such a glamorous, rich beautiful home down to the last detail. It is so wonderful that a house such as this could have such loving owners and make the house a home again. Thank you so much for sharing. Peace love and happiness ~ Tracey
The wallpaper, furnishings and floors are stunning! We are like minded, Kevin! I just think you are awesome!
That's a beautiful restoration! We need more people to do this to a 1870 Victorian mansion in North Durham
I love seeing your house! When I was 6 we lived in a house with pocket doors. They were so well balanced that I could open and close them with my little finger! I am happy to say that house has been restored. I am 70 now and those doors are still one of my best memories
I too have a passion for pocket doors...but now have to reside in an adult 55+ development, where life very restrictive with rules and regs..ugh.
Beautiful! I love to see historic homes. It warms my heart when I see someone take care to restore and care for it like you do. Yes, please, would love to see the rest of the home.
The drapery is beautifully designed. I love the way the trim falls to create an art deco like pattern, even though the style is 100 years after the house was first built. The floors are beautiful! I'm enjoying the tour.
Hello how are you doing?
Myself. As well😊😊😊
Thank you, to you and Mr. Silver Fox, for sharing your beautiful home with us. It is stunning and gorgeous in it's design and architecture. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful home. It was a great treat to see! 🙏🏻😊💖
Mr. Silver Fox - кто это?
@@user-qb8rl3cx5xIt is obviously a nickname for his husband Will Swift
It’s absolutely stunning. So well done. With a loving care, in such a delicate way. Some “renovations” cause severe harm to the old houses. You had brought the place to its initial glory. Thank you for your kind efforts. If those people who lived there 200 years ago could see the place today they would be so happy and grateful to you.
3:37 "I found a gentleman rolled up in a cabinet" LOL :-D
Yes a Christmas tour would be great. Love everything so far and would love to see more .
love it. would like to see more, and a Christmas Tour!
Thank you, Kevin, beautiful home, beautiful work...
Those who have the heart for saving beauties like this home need only look to you and Mr. Silver Fox for inspiration.
Hello how are you doing?
Mr. Silver Fox - кто это?
Those floors!!! That mahogany!!! Stunning home. Well done! 👏👏
To: JLK &, SF: Your restoration of the colonial is aptly beautiful. A glimpse surely is not enough by which to meet your home. One must be allowed to gaze throughout all its interior rooms. Most interesting are all the adjunct structures attached to the main house. You might tell us the usage of each building and as much history as you may know of them. Behind the video camera, the exterior grounds appear to be a relaxing diverse ramble. -In longevity of happy days and best of health. // D.C
I just discovered your videos yesterday on TH-cam and now I’m having fun going back and exploring your earlier videos on your house tour. Your house is spectacular. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to seeing all your fabulous renovations. I hope to learn from your house updates as I have an 1892 brownstone that I am restoring. Thank you!
Your home is exquisite! The restoration is stunning, expertly executed! Thank you sharing the history. Congratulations to you both!
Un rinnovo fatto con delicatezza e sensibilità e non a colpi di mazza come si vede in alcune trasmissioni tv!!
You are a very charming individual, and your presentations are wonderful! Thank you!
Beautiful!
Enjoy to the fullest!
Life sadly is short, and we all have only one!

I've stopped the viewing at 2:00, just letting the shades of GREEN and the perfection of those graceful swags and drapings give a sumptuous beginning to the day. Miss Ellen's portieres and the sounds and scents of decades of glorious gatherings in that grand old place---I knew it was going to be awesomely beautiful, but this one swath of green should be published---the greeting glimpse as you enter that portal to another time. I have the silly notion that I want to enlarge it and use it on our TV for tea-times and little home occasions, much as we use a video of someone else's glowing fire throughout the holiday season. I can just imagine having a wall-size version as a mural---a crowning exemplar of the art after all those seaside views and leaf-floored forests of the sixties. Simply stunning.
Absolutely love it !That conquistador certainly adds a unique character to the whole house
Stunning restoration. It's amazing how many original elements were still there.
What a beautifully unique house! I loved seeing the music room in another one of your videos. Everything is decorated so gracefully.
I know I'm a bit late finding this video ... BUT I DID LOVE SEEING YOUR HOME. ❤ Thank you for sharing. I find your videos relaxing and very interesting - I also learn a thing or two! 🥰 (lots actually). You are so talented Kevin. I also shed a few tears about Tiger (only saw it yesterday). It's never easy losing our fur children. Good to see Binky doing so well. (I had a Winky and a Dinky cats growing up). Lol. I'm 74 now 😂. Warm regards from NZ. ❤
Beautiful house. You’ve done a lovely job, really like the Matador on top of the Newel post. It looks like the eavestrough at the front needs some attention, things are growing out a top and wood is falling off. Looks like it’s rotting your steps. One of those jobs you’ve got to do. You might try sewing the slits in the red carpet On the treads of the staircase, with a curve needle and closing them. match the colour of the carpet on the steps you can use a yarn and a thread it will make it last much longer and be invisible. You can colour in the beige web with a red magic marker before you start Sewing. It’s so much fun living in these old houses it’s like a museum you’re very fortunate enjoy every moment.
Even the original photo at the beginning of the unrestored house reveals it to be a beautiful house.
Glorious! You were very fortunate to be in the right place at the right time to buy your property. Your entrance hall is just fabulous.
I love your old house it’s like walking back in time, I definitely would love to see the entirety what fantastic decorating you have done , I love those plum painted walls in the your tea room.
I love house tours of old houses! 😊
Especially at Christmas!🌸
Yes, the stairway is stunning but that alcove is glorious! I love everything about it! The curtains are simply beautiful and the color is perfect!
So lovely to find a fellow old house lover! You guys have done a beautiful job restoring her! 💕
Very inviting - the older homes have character. Appreciate your tour. I just love beagles, especially the tri- colored -- years ago I had 4 ( not at the same time) their personalities were unique.
Bright spot on a grey day - I found your house tour videos. Those pocket doors would have sold me. Nice you are taking care of that wonderful home!
... Good Morning, Kevin Lee Jacobs, Silver Fox, & Lily ... how wonderful to discover you here on TH-cam ... I'm enjoying my morning cup of birchbark coffee, with a tablespoon of Ovaltine Malt & fresh cream ... how truly wonderful for these peaceful alcove's of time in our troubled world ... well, right from moment one, I've loved every moment & every detail of your Tour ... I love historical elements & you did such a grand elegance renewal of a very fine 'old lady' ... made new again with all the love & attention ... I do love the alcove with it's marvelous green ... just the perfect shade & hue ... not too bright, yet uplifting in light giving the heart a comfort ... I love the jabot folds; lovely touch ... what a fascinating painting of the gentleman ... would not his white collar signify a Lawyer or someone in judicial service; municipal civil servant; or, ecclesiastical ... & to think that the heritage of Clover Hill is from Manchester; from textile roots ... lovely tribute to history ... I thank you so much for your Welcome & will certainly enjoy all of your talks & walks ... recipes & wonderments of Clover Hill ... bye' for now ... & greetings from the West Coast of Canada ...
Thank you Kevin, I would love to see the rest of your beautiful home. After restoring a Victorian stone townhouse in Keswick, in the English Lake District, I know first hand that restoring an old house is like tossing money into a bottomless pit. Very rewarding to see the results of one's hard work, but can also be very expensive, because one thing leads to the next. A Listed Property in a Conservation Area means that all renovations must resemble the original as closely as possible. Custom made iron gutters, for example cost a fortune compared to the cheap plastic variety in vogue today. I would like to think that the new owners will love the old features as much as I did, but there is no telling. These days, not everyone appreciates the charm of quaility Victorian decor. I still love Victorian furniture, old paintings, antique items as well as beautiful china and linens, but now, they are in a relatively modern bungalow. The old brings a feeling of luxury, and the new takes away stuffiness and adds a feeling of freshness, each compliments the other. I especially love seeing your pets, they are adorable! And, your cooking demonstrations, as well as all the beautiful plants and flower decorations around your house. Can't forget to mention the warmth of a real fire in the hearth, and ofcourse your are always so gracious and welcoming, Kevin! It is a real pleasure to watch your videos and so relaxing too.
Hello Kevin,
I AM not an antique Fan, but I absolutely Love your Home.
It's fascinating to learn about the history of the Place and see what you have Done.
Mr Fox must be as talented as you are, But I guess you are the chief Chef and Baker. How lucky to be compatible and Happy.
Kevin I can watch you all Day 😘
Thank you for sharing your life with US .
I am all about antiques and leaning more toward the religious side; that said, I enjoy much your videos. The tour is awesome, and I look forward to seeing the rest of the house. I hope you take this as a compliment, your voice has a Mr. Rogers kind of effect. It is relaxing and soothing. I enjoy your episodes. I am of Italian descent and I’m a strong fan of coffee but I do enjoy a good cup of tea :-) don’t change and continue your little videos. They are very relaxing. I am also a fan of Christmas so you can imagine what I have enjoyed. God bless stay well the both of you a friend Dominic.
Yes I love old homes.
Such a wonderful restoration. Quite magnificent! I can’t tell you what a joy it is to see colours in a home. I really do feel the griege that seems to have taken over, is for those with little imagination, or confidence and want to play it safe.
I love old houses. Your home is warm and magnificent. Hello from Brazil.
Your house is as beautiful as a precious jewelery box. Best wishes always. Arsen from Hamburg/Germany/Europe
Beautiful restauration we did restaure my grandpa summer house that was built in 1943 and my boyfriend an I came to live here when we retired 22 years ago.

Mr. Fox - кто это?
Loved the detail of your entryway tour. Just right. From a description of the flowers in your lovely arrangement (made me think - hey I can do that too) to the history of the portrait on the wall, you painted a fun and informative story about your home. More please, very enjoyable!
Wow! Beautiful home! What a tribute to it's past to keep it in it's original glory.

Hi Kevin, I’ve been watching your cooking videos for a while and I’m now watching your house tour ones. I absolutely love your home and how you have restored it. It’s really beautiful and seems very welcoming.
Greetings Kevin!!! Your home is magnificent! Abraham Lincoln was only 17 years old when your house was erected…such exciting history. Everything is truly beautiful from the fine etching on the front door to the graceful mahogany arch. Yes, that staircase is enchanting. Thank you for showing all of us this house from yesteryear which you have transformed into the fine work of art it is today. What a magical place to live…it must be difficult to leave even for a day ♥️ it is so beautiful I could cry.
Wow, just a magnificent home. Thank you for sharing with us!
You have such a great personality and you have a gorgeous home ❤.

I love ancient Houses and Buildings.
Very nice house Kevin. Congratulations on an excellent refurbishing job! Thanks
Hello how are you doing?
Yes either a rec workout or walking which I did today.
I just left over cauliflower then local Greek yogurt with banana, strawberries and blueberries.
Raining now which is much needed.
Reading the Plum Tree and will appreciate the day.
Please continue to take care of yourself ..we need you
Yes, please show more of your lovely home! I love the wallpaper!
Just found your channel, I recognized the front of your house immediately, I walked by it often when I was growing up in that town, I truly enjoy your videos.
Gorgeous restauration and color choice. Truly inspiring. Thanks
I am so happy I stumbled upon your channel. I love it & you!
I'm binge watching this. So beautiful 😍
Love old homes so much character!
Just impeccable. Such lovely carved bannister. I would love to see more of the beautiful house. Love the colours you have chosen. Must have taken a lot if hard work and time to bring the house to such a level . Love tge animals too,they are very happy there. 🐕🐈⬛🙂

OH....Kevin, seeing your BEAUTIFUL home makes me want to burn down my home...lol...Can,t wait to see the rest! Your taste is EXQUISITE!
One word "Beautiful"❤❤❤👍👍👍
Loved the taster of the hallway...looking forward to seeing the other rooms!
Hello 👋how are you doing?
What a lovely soul you are Kevin.
Every tour loved your brunch. Loved how you set the formal table. Love your china! So many gifts you have! In fact can’t wait to see more. Love you for sharing all your wonderful ideas! Lost in time High Tea, settings scones, tea sandwiches! Thank you you are truly blessed with so many gifts. Loved your flower arrangements and name each flower that you used in it! Can’t wait to see your holidays decorating mini mansion and table settings along with menus and preparations! Thank you again
Lovely to see this type of property having been restored and refurbished in the style of its time. It is so sad to see, e.g. a cottage dragged into the 21st century style of decor, whereas decorated as a cottage should be, retaining it's charm! XXX
HELLO, KEVIN, I REALLY ENJOYED THE TOUR OF YOUR TASTEFULLY DECORATED HOME. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE PT. 2.
Yes I want to see the remainder of the first floor. And don't leave out the kitchen!
Thank you so much for sharing your life with so many. I loved the tour, and would love to see more. I enjoy all of your videos.
Ofcourse i like to see more! It is a joy to see the work you and silver fox have done to the house. Keep them coming!! Thank you for sharing.
Wow such an eloquent design! Great job restoring it.
OhmyGoodness the stairway is floating up the stairs! You have a wonderful eye for decorating the Foyer Wallpaper Artwork are amazing! The Flower arrangement in the bay and your Curtains well so beautiful!
Lovely presentation.
Your little dog is precious.
Yes, would love to see the other rooms in your home! You found a jewel of a house! The outside is truly grand. I am watching your site for the first time. My sister suggested I start following you, she raves about you and has been making many of your recipes!
I am looking forward to getting to know you!
Absolutely beautiful Kevin! Can't wait for part 2
