Hello first time watching your show enjoy the houses very interesting and educational keep up the good work God bless you and your family Happy New Year I subscribed
Mr. Montgomery this is a compliment: You are too funny! I enjoy your videos each weekend and try not to laugh so loud that I wake up neighbors but you make it hard! The title of this video had me on the floor before I hit play! Be Blessed!
If someone has LOTS of money, imagination and the determination to keep the original style, this would be a wonderful home. The neighborhood seems nice.
Oh wow that price needs to come down. My mother bought an old 100+ year old house. It was a LOT of work trying to renovate it. She ended up selling it. But I would try to keep as much character as possible.
Wow, just saw the outside and it’s beautiful. Please don’t say”renovation”. It denotes tearing down walls, removing any and all character, and “modernizing”. LOVE this house. I’m so envious of whoever buys it.
Great looking house, love all the moulding, woodwork and ceilings. Has so much charm, would hate for it to be torn down. It has a lot of potential to be a multi family home. Just need a boat load of money to resolve the many, many issues. Jonathan, you are bold to go into the basement. This house looks like it would be scary at night.
Although incredibly creepy..this was once a beautiful house. Jonathan, you're a brave man, lol. I'd be totally scared roaming around. Especially that basement.
GO BEARS! Class of 92. I wish the best to your son on his new journey. The house has a ton of potential but is a complete gut job. I'm surprised there isn't more visible black mold but the attic, basement and inside the walls are probably full of it. House requires ton of money to renovate but I would love to see it renovated.
Jonathan that has got to be the weirdest house I’ve ever seen if I was a millionaire or a billionaire or a trillionaire I would not want that house. It is so spooky all those little nook and crannies and little bitty rooms even if it was restored, I still would like it because of the set up, be careful in there. I don’t think it will ever sell. Have a blessed day.❤
Johnathan, Is there anyway we can see homes that are more reasonably priced, not just million dollar homes? Or if they are fixer upper homes, homes that you don’t need to be a millionaire to fix up.
It would be nice to know who originally built it and lived there. I think it’s over priced wouldn’t pay more than 500k for it. Would love to see it restored.
I LOVE old houses. I would restore and preserve whatever contractors say can be saved. What can't be saved, I'd have it replaced, but keep the design the same or similar. New windows of course, roofing, a total cellar makeover, redo all the cabinetry, baths, and floors. Redo the walls, repair the ceilings, doors and moldings.
The house WOULD have been amazing. Had the prior owners would’ve taken care of it. The mold, water damage and the amount of I’m sure lead paint, subfloors, just everything… it breaks my heart that it’s in such bad condition. I would definitely say some of the things I’d change is moving the washer and dryer up stairs. Gut the kitchen, bathrooms add a claw foot tub and overhead shower. Make it up to code far as energy efficiency goes. I’d say it’s going to take MONEY to get things back in shape. I’d love to just see the home improved to its prior glory days but.. maybe a historian could assist a renovator to do that
The ivy would have to go until some direction on restoring the outside property can be reached. The ivy can be a good feature of the home later if managed properly by keeping it trimmed. I'd start with trying to get old pics and blueprints of the property and go from there. Power washing, cutting grass, trimming hedges, restoring concrete driveway and external home cracks/crevices. Possibly renovate internally close to the home's original form if the new buyer chooses. Otherwise, I'd renovate and update the areas that need it most. The home is only worth the $1Mill to buy if you have more money to put into restoring it, IMO.
You already know that I love it! I love old homes! I wish there was a company that restored old buildings that I could be a part of. You can take 1 million and restore the home. Place back on the market for 3 or more. Still a profit. Right to left. Can't go wrong. We love your content. No matter how long.😉
Due to the lack of maintenance, it needs to be gutted. If possible, I would try to keep the historical integrity. Before gutting the house, I would save *some* of the windows, doors, light fixtures and maybe restore the fireplace. However, it would have to be financially feasible. This home needs new flooring, roofing, insulation, electrical work, and plumbing . All the interior walls and stairs need to be replaced and repaired. Everything would have to be up to code, including the outside stairs. The tree would also have to be maintained or removed. Unless the the surrounding homes are more than 2 million, it would be a very risky investment.
The character and potential in this home is amazing…and the size of the rooms really give you a lot to work with. With the right architect that is experienced in working with historical houses this home could be amazing. I would keep all the stain glass, the front door, all the trim and exposed brick and bathroom tiles. I’d rehab the fireplaces and keep the tile on those was well. The size of the bedrooms are really good for this time period. For the most part I’d keep the flow as is…the only thing I’d really want to do is create a real master with an ensuite and relocate the washer and dryer to one of the floors with the bedrooms. The exterior of the home even shows all the potential it has. With the right budget, time and contractors this home would be an amazing single family home.
You are almost at 10k subs. Keep up the good work. I don’t know this area but I loved the Federal Hill home you did previously. Not familiar with the Silver Spring area.
What a great house full of character! I would try to maintain as much of its charm and character as possible, renovate, and upgrade in a way that will work with the style of that house. It will take tons of money to restore it and to make it worth buying. If someone doesn't come along within the next 5 years or so, the city or town might decide to demolish it. The space is great. You just don't find doors, stained glass windows, and that architecture like that anymore.
This house is like walking into the past. It needs lots of TLC. It would be quite a challenge. I like the flow of the house and its unique characteristics. For what all needs to be done, they are asking a lot.
Wow is all i can say. You are truly a brave man for walking through that entire property. It could be extremely beautiful with looks of money and vision.
Lol, either multi family or the state need to remodel it and keep it historic and make it into a museum. This will take a massive amount of work. Beautiful home though.
00:32 Johnathan you should film more of these "crazy" houses. I like looking at fixer uppers. They put my imagination to work. 👍🏾 10:08 You forgot to peek out onto the back porch. 😅
Halloween is just around the corner. Are you going to find an extra spooky house to tour as part of your Will It Sell series? Do you plan on doing any updates on any of the prior homes you showed us?
It would take a fortune to restore that house to its former glory. It would probably be better to just tear it down. You should be wearing a hard hat in that place.
If the neighborhood is decent you could restore this house sell it. It will take a lot of work and it won't be cheap. You could consider adding an apartment to rent out to help with the mortgage once it's renovated.
I estimate that it'll cost at least $500k to restore this house. The paint most likely has lead/ majority of flooring needs replacement/ new plumbing and electrics are needed/ central heating and cooling system is needed/ landscaping/etc. If I had the money I would love to restore this house.
That house was built before those trees existed. The split door is called a Dutch door. You'd want to have new wood stoves; the old ones are kind of dangerous (crummy chimneys, carbon monoxide, and smoke inhalation), and there's new code. Floors are nice. Pretty light. Don't step on the balcony, or we'll get a blob of Jonathan Jam on the pavement. And, eek, don't turn on the lights: no telling whether those wires would start a fire. The back stairs are servant stairs. Rooms are beautifully proportioned. I'll bet the basement is where the servants did all the cooking and then took it upstairs: viz Upstairs Downstairs. The scullery maid or butler may originally have slept down there.
What a horrible shame to let that gorgeous old house deteriorate to that deplorable condition and the unmitigated gall to list and show it in that dilapidated condition! It is certainly worth restoration to its former charm. I would only upgrade/update items like the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems. The wall paper and stained windows add to the vintage aesthetics. Definita keeper.
Looks like a tear down if the house does not have any historical relevancy. John locks the door behind him, is the neighborhood not safe. A salvage company may want to buy a few things.
"Every step is an adventure" definitely applies to that house. If I had the capital, I would try to restore it to maintain its 1890's charm, but in an updated manner. Having multiple apartments would be great for a multi-generational family. I would try to dig out and finish the basement too, and maybe create separate entrance for it.
This old home, looks to be empty the past 75-100 years. I really like the Dutch door (just looked up the name). The tell tell that someone showered there is the bar of Caress Soap 🧼in that first bathtub 🛀 This decrepit house would make an awesome home to pass down, once it’s restored. Every inch needs to be touched. That price is crazy. The tear-down possibly cost more than the lot.
HOT MESS....1800s...have to redo electrical, plumbing...hvac has to be installed 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰...curious about foundation and sill...u better have a boat load of 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰to restore....I can c why someone would save the floors and gut the rest...but wow the room...the space...
That house can't go too many more years without having to be torn down. The seller should cut the price in half and get something while it's still salvageable.
@@Rockinandwatchin This! The price is unrealistic. That’s a price for a maintained home. The owner isn’t being objective. They’re overlooking the mold, non-functional bathrooms, broken windows, collapsing interior (walls, floors, and ceiling) etc. Nothing is up to code, especially that basement.
Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan, 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂ STOP TOUCHING STUFF in abandon houses... some of the plant life look like it could have been poison ivy, and I would bet a paycheck that, that paint out on the balcony is lead base smh. And that house IS NOT worth a million dollars!!! There isn't much you can save in that house that is historical, there is too much water damage, mold in the unseen (let alone what you could see). The demo alone will prob cost north of $50k, and it would prob cost close to a half a million just to bring it back to decent living condition (unless they are going to cut corners (and I hope they don't 🙄)). And this is one I REALLY HOPE you do a follow-up on, because I am really curious to see what the outcome will be with it! Oh and that half bath, was prob what you saw in the basement with that toilet out in the open ...... So classy lol.
My, this renovation is going to be be very expensive. We are looking at total gut jobs.. @Jonathan don’t forget to wash your hands from touching stuff. 🤭
I pray this house gets into hands that will restore it and not tare it down
If I had a renovation school, I'd use the house to teach and apply skills. Students would learn all aspects of restoring a home.

I agree. Restoration over renovation.

I love the stove, the fire places, radiators the benches, beautiful after restoration, I can see it❤
I could hear that house saying ' GET OUT'! 😂
THIS IS MY HOUSE👻
Although incredibly creepy..this was once a beautiful house. Jonathan, you're a brave man, lol. I'd be totally scared roaming around. Especially that basement.
I totally expected to see a few vermin😂

I think it needs a bulldozer
Johnathan, Is there anyway we can see homes that are more reasonably priced, not just million dollar homes? Or if they are fixer upper homes, homes that you don’t need to be a millionaire to fix up.
This house is beautiful. It has so much potential. New is not always better. If the bones are good. Then someone can turn this into a masterpiece!
It has character but between the mole,water and building damage the asking price is too much.
It would be nice to know who originally built it and lived there. I think it’s over priced wouldn’t pay more than 500k for it. Would love to see it restored.

The person who buys this house needs to buy it because they love it not because they want to do BRRR.
Lol, I don’t blame Jonathan for keeping his shoes on.

this was a beautiful house back in the day - if I had the capital - I would restore it. It will need a lot of work - definitely multifamily home.
Keep the floors - keep the doors - keep the fireplaces - keep the wood burning stoves - restore the stain glass windows - gut everything else.
If I was on the east coast, I would be buying that place!! Bring it back to it's original glory!!!!!!

Jonathan that half bath is where the washer and dryer in the basement lol 😅
Beautiful house with a lot of potential, but that side balcony is giving off a Mayfair Witches vibe.
Wow is all i can say. You are truly a brave man for walking through that entire property. It could be extremely beautiful with looks of money and vision.
You gotta go back and tour this one once it is renovated!
Lol, either multi family or the state need to remodel it and keep it historic and make it into a museum. This will take a massive amount of work. Beautiful home though.
I think that half bath was in the basement
Realtor: "Aiight, imma head down to the basement"...
Me: "Aww, hell naw"!
He's a brave one cause not I
😂
Fixer upper?, this is a gut job. Keep character, rewire. I would also remove the wood outside and use some kind of concrete.
I’m ready to check out some faucets and turn the water on 😂😂
😮 a money pit! But the history and the look probably priceless
00:32 Johnathan you should film more of these "crazy" houses. I like looking at fixer uppers. They put my imagination to work.
👍🏾
10:08 You forgot to peek out onto the back porch.
😅
That old wall paper made of cloth, I would try to restore most of it.
It appears that the home was once used as multi unit dwelling before it was abandoned .
Halloween is just around the corner. Are you going to find an extra spooky house to tour as part of your Will It Sell series?
Do you plan on doing any updates on any of the prior homes you showed us?
I must admit, I did want you going down in the basement
A little elbow grease and a can of paint and .....
No I'm kidding!
TEAR IT DOWN
CAN YOU SAY! AMITYVILLE HORROR! THERE WAS AN ACTUAL SOUND OF A LOW CROW HOWL AT THE BEGINING OF YOUR VIDEO!
The Dutch Door is pretty and so are those other windows. Unfortunately, the rest of the house gives me the creeps.
Looks like an old boarding house. Would make an excellent bed and breakfast.
This basement looks like Silence of the Lambs was filmed here

*Wholesalers would CHOKE from salivating over that property.*
If i had the money id renovate it and keep some of the older features.
There was a microwave and washer and dryer. I woulda guess it was occupied in the late 80s
I wonder if this is an historic house, if it is the new owner will have a hard time getting permits to remodel it.
