Your restored home would put the Brit aristocracy in awe.
I know about living in old house. Mine was built in 1790. Crooked floors, drafty. We restored ours, pine floors, plaster walls, some walls hand planed very thick wooden boards. Yours is beautiful and fancy. Ours is rustic and simple. I love all old houses. They connect us to the past. Enjoying the tour of your lovely home. Thanks.
Not only is a restoration a labor of love, it's a huge expense as well as a huge inconvenience and undertaking. You've done such beautiful work.
What does Mr. Fox do and what does he look like?
I find myself choosing your program to watch more and more. Very classy, yet down home.
The bird in the music room wall paper may be Chinese pheasant. Thank you Kevin. I have been enjoying many of your videos.
Texas Here. Another beautiful room. My brother would have enjoyed this music room. Keith received his Doctorate in Music at OU and had received a Fulbright Scholarship to Italy where he lived for a year transcribing ancient old music off of cloth. Thank you for sharing.
I am loving your house tours. I hate the open concept homes. I love old homes and have restored and lived in several. Keep showing us more of your home, I can't get enough!
I too hate open concept rooms. They have such a cold feel to me. I love older homes. I live in an older home. Not like yours. Mine is a New England Cape Cod.
I agree I do not like open concept either but love all of the individual rooms.
Me too! Open concept house is too formal
Baby boomer agrees there's great hjstory and these houses will wrap around you and you know that you are home 🏡
Jealousy
I'm watching this a little late but music rooms are my favorite rooms in a house. I consider musical instruments to be loved pieces of adornment with endless possibilities. I'm sure the foundation work was nerve wracking. A house & yard with character is so treasured even though it consumes time & financial commitment. Thank you for these interesting quips of history as well.❤
Kevin, needless to say what a blessing for the great great granddaughter that she lived to see this historic home is your caring hands. Thank you for the tour and for sharing with us your knowledge and the immense expense you both must have gone to , to restore this home to BEYOND its first glories.❤
In addition... I once inherited a home., well kept. A,basement, an attic & backyard where rhubarb grew. And there I raised my six children. My grandmother had , silver... Silverware, China, crystal chandelier, many antiques, those 2 chairs in your music room, red velvet? She had two such chairs also, exquisite! Many things I did not realize were antiques🥺... Now, At age 71, looking at your home , I now realize what treasures her home contained.
and now all my 6 children are grown & all well off, than God.😊 I yet I have hope of an inheritance! A home/mansion in heaven, which is beyond my wildest imagination ! I just have to wait- to see it!😂
Keep up the fantastic work! Truly, a labor of much love.
Trisha❤🤗
Firstly, bravo on saving your beautiful house from the philistines. Secondly, I am hooked on your videos. My late partner and I restored two houses in our time together. I miss the " home, hearth and heart of those years. I look forward to seeing more of yours gracious home.
I appreciate how you've stayed true to the home's era of construction with your choices in interior design. Very old school - it's like you're living in a time capsule. Thanks for the tour!
The music room is my favourite room so far. I love the light and sense of space and particularly the window garden.
Such a beautiful room. Love your home. Thanks for sharing it with your viewers.
I love the wallpaper probably my favorite part of the piano room.
Kevin, perhaps someday you will treat us to a little bit of a piano concert on your wonderful Steinway piano♡
You are the perfect mix of Mr. Rogers and Martha Stewart. So we have dubbed you, Roger Stewart in our home. Love everything you do.
The music room is breathtaking, the stunning red drapery enchanting wallpaper. I love love love the paper! I’m so glad you kept it. Wow!!., to think it came with the house wow!! My favorite room!
I surely do enjoy all of your videos!! You are such a regular guy, not so terribly “proper” as to be unrelatable.
Thank you so much for your joy filled cooking videos. Your channel is so calming. ❤❤❤
Great video, I love the wallpaper, so Chinese! I live in a 22 room house that started life in 1722 and it's final expansion was finished in 1950. You are so right that it takes a special kind of person to take care of these old estates. I just found your channel and am enjoying all of your hard work! Thank you.
We live in a tiny village in rural Nova Scotia and our house is almost 200 years old. The little teeny tiny closets that are here are not like the houses that were build in more modern times. The rooms in our house too seem like their own entity and have there own personality. I'm a momma of 6 and LOVE living in a big old house. Lol requires hard work and maintenance but so worth it. Ours isn't as beautiful as your beautiful home but we love it just the same. Perhaps someday when I haven't littles at home I can fancy it up a bit. Lol. Thanks for sharing. Peace love and happiness ~ Tracey
I agree with you. Old houses DO require much maintenance. But they are so worth saving!
I love African violets..I used to grow them.
I do not have good luck with them, however, I AM ALWAYS BUYING THEM!! I love them. Can you give me some tips?
Mr. Kevin, could you make some music videos playing a tune on the piano? Maybe a "Monday Music Corner" type presentation? That would be amazing!
I too play piano, and the clarinet. Not at the same time of course! 😂LOL
Thank you for sharing this beautiful room, and the pretty window garden. 💐
Hugs❤

You know Kevin, if I were you, I'd never leave. What a beautiful home. Thanks for sharing.
Birds may well be the famous Ketzal from Guatemala.
I love these tours. My mother has a music room in the 1820 house I grew up in. She has a piano, a cottage organ, victrola (with original records). And assorted other wind instruments from the family. It's not as big as your music room but big enough to dance to the music
Some of my fondest holiday memories are in that room. BTW I hate open concept
Absolutely gorgeous, the music room, -and it's radiance is not all camera effects. Very gratifying it must feel for yourselves to have taken on & succeeded in the enormously thoroughgoing historical restoration project of a 19th century house to its near original splendor. -Many years of fulfilling contentment.
How nice you have the photos from the family to provide guidance for your restoration.
Your house tour actually brought tears to my eyes as it is fantastically, heartstirringly breathtaking. Your cooking channel is lovely!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for opening your home for us! I love that you are "saving" all the history!
Hi Kevin! Please do more hours tours! They're so interesting!
I’d like to see the upstairs
Love that you love the history and magnificence of this house!
What a great music room! In fact, you have done a marvelous job with the house. My grandfather restored a huge house from the 1800’s that had the most lovely woodwork. There was a winding stairway with an alcove halfway up the stairs where a singer could walk out and sing, if entertaining. There was also a stained glass window in the wall of the stairway. Your pocket doors are lovely, as well. The flower arrangements in your house videos are just fabulous. Good job. The curtains are so beautiful throughout your home. Well done with them. I just enjoyed the house, the history and the stories. I would love, as would your subscribers I’m sure, to hear you play piano. I think you said you teach also, right? You are a man of many talents, and Mr. Fox is lucky to have you.
The more i watch your house tour videos, the less i understand the tiny house movement - why do people believe it is cool to live in a chicken coop? :-D Love your videos, pls keep making them! :-D
Money...cleaning ,upkeep are perhaps some of the reasons 🤔?
I love your videos and your home. You are so talented. Decorate, buyer, pianist, and cook. Also and I am sure you have a lot more talent then that. Thank you for sharing everything with us. You are such a nice man.
Enjoyed the visit. Maybe you could sneak a short African violet repotting/stem cutting propagation segment into one of the videos!
This is my dream house. I would love the house even more if you put a grandfather clock in the hall and the really nice types of Seth Thomas mantle clocks
Your house is beautiful. I enjoy all of your videos. You are so talented and charming.
This is a beautiful step back in time, with all its ambience and opulence. The wallpaper is exquisite in this room. What a story about leveling out the room. Huge investment, but integral to the integrity of the house. Never was a fan of open concept houses, largely because of noise levels and privacy.
Beautiful! I didn't know you were an accomplished pianist too! You are a multi-talented person. And the window garden is lovely! My kitchen has been torn apart for several weeks for a DIY project that's taking too long, because I miss having full use of my kitchen. So, these tours have been a nice little mental vacation away from it. Thank you for posting them!
I love old houses, tiny houses, castles, huts, apartments. I love the heart. The way things are put together. I love colors and black and white, I love the ornate and the simple. I do not like mobil home decor or furniture show room style. Well I like showroom as long as I'm in the store. I like antiques, tattered, new, used you name. And sometimes I get so confused.
I'm a libra. It could be it
I am not fond of the open concept floorplans; I am with you on that. It helps that your rooms are a very nice size. Smaller homes can benefit from an open concept.
Lovely music room, the wall paper just sings with the red drapes.
My son had the same issue in his century home this past year. Jacking up the house, the outside wall had all the brick removed in order to do the job. This last fall he discovered his foundation on one part of the house needed foundation repair also. When the new windows were being installed he told the contractor to not destroy the trims. Well , he walked in while they were prepping for the windows, and much to his dismay they had a pry bar ripping the trims off , destroying several. He had to replicate the trims himself which i must say he did an incredible job. This is his 5th and last century home he intends to restore.
When we see people restore and preserve historic homes/buildings we cannot help but respect it. My husband and I just watched your tours and we want to say thank you for sharing with us. Thanks for saving this beautiful home. Have a good day.
Restoring this house was -- and still is -- an act of love. Thank you for watching the videos!
This home is just exquisite
The wallpaper in the music room features birds of paradise. I thought so, but I Googled it to be sure. Love those pianos!!!!
I grew up with grand pianos,so loved this
I, myself, don't like when you see the kitchen pots and pans, from the living room, with the sofa a few steps away also from the kitchen island...! LOVELY HOME...! AMAZING PLANTS AND FLOWERS. Thank you!
I was a pianist until a focal drystonia in my right hand abruptly ended that…. I compose now, pursued art, obtained a biochemistry MS and library degree and worked as a research librarian…. So you do what you must… I play a little jazz now and compose m6 own rock/country/blues and sing with Tungsten Carbide….the fun thing about that is that I paint most of our song thumbnails….
lovely garden windows. I love tall ceilings
lovely. just lovely. yes kerosene coats everything with a film of oily grit. my granmama had a coal oil stove.(a surprise from granpa..egads) the smoke filtered thru the house. i remember the gauze covers on the vents because she was till scared of the air from heat.
I found your channel quite by accident when watching how you prepare your celery for the freezer! I then started viewing your home tour and fell in love with all you both have done over the years with your home. I have always loved older homes, but was never able to purchase one in particular we both loved, to restore during our much younger days. We are now in the process of renovating a young 50 year old 800 square foot home to finish out our days. Nothing grand or elaborate but it is home, and love it. In one of our homes I had a window garden in which I grew and propagated many African violets! Seeing your lovely window garden in your music room reminded me how much pleasure such a garden can bring. Thanks to you, I am now planning on returning to a much smaller version, but one I am truly looking forward to!! Thank you for your time and inspiration! You have a new subsciber🌹
Thank you so much, Ellen!
What a beautiful home, there is something special about older homes.
Lovely. Oh the music that room must of heard over its day.
Es un placer ver su estilo de vida en un entorno en donde las flores, vajilla, platillos y postres, realzan vivir bonito. Saludos 👋
3 pianos!??? Wow! Beautiful.
Me too, I love the wallpaper. 💕
Watched your house tours videos 'back when.' Rewatching today and just as enjoyable as the first time around. Thank you!
Thank you for another wonderful house tour. That wallpaper is beautiful. I agree with you about only certain people being able to live in older homes. We live in an art deco house which we are restoring. Although the house is insulated and warm, visitors who stay find themselves having to do old fashioned things such as adding an extra blanket to their bed at night rather than rely on heat pumps and central heating, however my partner and I do not notice it and suffer terribly in other peoples overheated homes! Also the wifi "black spots" in the house can be vexing for some! Thanks again, I look forward to your tours. Rachel, Blenheim, Marlborough, New Zealand xx.
Hello Kevin, I just discovered your channel and have been binge watching. Your restoration of your lovely historic home, is an absolute labour of love. We live in Perth, West Australia, in an old house too. There are only a handful of areas that date back to the early settlement here, as the city is largely very modern. I completely get your comment about the lack of wardrobes and the closed off nature of our rooms. We love it, but realise living in this way, especially the upkeep and occasional lack of modern conveniences is definitely not for everyone. But our home and extensive garden, gives us much joy and we delight in entertaining our friends with formal dinners, and casual brunches and lunches both inside and outside. They often comment that they find our home and garden to be tranquil and a retreat from the hurried pace of contemporary life, at least for a few hours. Plus, living in our old home, has given us the excuse we need to indulge our love of antiques and the thrill of the hunt, especially every time we travel somewhere new. I bet it is not so very different for you too. Best wishes from Down Under.
Yamaha has a lovely sound. I had a Baldwin. :) My late husband and I restored houses. I envy you 💞
I have just come across your posts and am really enjoying them. I especially enjoy the classical music, the china, the decor and presentation of your recipes. I have been cooking and creating recipes since I was first allowed in the kitchen at age 7 and now I am almost 76.Because I now follow a very low carb diet I adapt recipes and of course I do not deny myself treats.
My younger brother is a professional flutist of considerable renoun, he has been the principal flutist with the Montreal Symphony orchestra since the nineteen seventies and played with and been recruited by other orchestras including the New York Philharmonic and the Boston Symphony. He chose to remain in Canada and now resides in Winchester,England which is our hometown. I just had an amazing visit with him.It was a delight to travel again.
Thanks for the very enjoyable sharing of your recipes, home and garden and your pets.
Not one, but two pianos! Should have known. Beautifully done.
There is quality in everything...
It is obvious!
Thank you for sharing ❤
Your furniture is amazing. I also love the wall covering. I think my favorite thing about the room is the wall covering.
Looove the music room!!! And, everything else.... Enjoy!
Mr. Jacobs you have, as you know, a lovely home. I love that time period and truly appreciate these videos.
I love the plants on the window
Where is Part 5?? I'm invested now! And I wince for your pocketbook every time I see all those draperies (I've made drapes and the trim alone in the alcove gave me heart palpitations)!
U are sur right about old houses ,the buying price seem good but what u have to do to get it into live in condition wow… opening walls to do modern electric was opening Pandoras Box, full of surprises ,they made a movie called the money pit ,marriages or partnerships rarely survive unless someone keeps a sense of humor … u look like you’ve managed to get through it and are enjoying…
Hello I enjoy your videos very much. Your burro's tail caught my eye. I have a patio full of them here in San Diego. They are very long and I make more by just laying a leaf on the soil and its roots itself. They get pink flowers on their tips in the springtime and through our mild summers.
I remember my grandmother having glass shelves in her living room windows. They were filled with african violets of all kinds and colors. They were so beautiful.
I Love your elegant home where you & Mr. Fox live. Especially do I love your 3 window garden view. I will try & do something to my 5 or more window views more like 18. But one Garden window will suffice. Watering my plants 🪴 are a chore, since I'm writing, house cleaning, cooking for guests etc. Oh my, I got away from what I meant to say here. I enjoy watching your channel. Just recently came on & subscribed, so I'm learning your style of cooking, but your style of living, I've pretty much enjoyed all my life, different settings of course. I hope to see more of your views to come. Have a good day. KW MT. 🇺🇸
What an utterly stunning room. OMG!
I love the tour of your home although it it was taped 5 years ago. I only discovered you on February 2nd 2023 however I have seen so many of your videos
Mr Jacobs confirmation of your reincarnation when you choose the red curtains and was confirm when the grand daughter of the family went to see the renovations.
The music room is so lush💜 the wallpaper is divine x
Each room is an entity onto itself. That makes so much sense and really drives home why homes of that era were built tat way, and how our homes have changed because of central heating and improved insulation. What a great point!
I love the entire music room, Kevin. Thewallpaper is magnificent. I'm so glad you've kept it. The drapery is what interests me just now. I have a Bay window like yours but on a somewhat smaller scale. I've gorgeous reupholstered Victorian chairs, just like yours...just 6 though. I want to put drapery up the way you have yours, and I wanted to see how you positioned them and where you placed your chairs. Thank you ever so much for the house tour...especially your music room ❤️ 💕 ♥️.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us. I like you love and live in a old house there may not be closets but there is so much charm and history. Your home is lovely ~ please keep sharing it is a real treat to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch your latest video. Also, love having Lilly and the cats in the videos !
This is my favorite room so far.
This is a beautiful home , enjoy every minute of it 😊🌺👍❤️
No closets?????? Wow! I guess everything was stored away in wardrobes and chests? That is so fascinating! Your home is truly a labor of love, I love your stories about it! I imagine there must be some paranormal activity as well with a house that old! Are you still doing performances and teaching?
This is my comfy cozy dream home!
Beautiful room. You were very fortunate to be able to put the floors right in this room. Pianos are really heavy items!! Everything, as usual, looks fantastic. I love your bay window plant garden. Totally fitting, particularly your choice of old fashioned favourite plants that the Victorians loved to grow. The drapes are amazing. As usual, your being able to see what the rooms looked like in about 1860 helps with getting the decorating accents properly grounded in the past in the twenty first century. Superb tour so far. Thank you so much, Kevin.
You better have a hefty pocket book when undertaking a project such as yours. With every dollar you spent on your beautiful home, I'm sure you two are saying it was worth every dollar of it! Love what you have done, Kevin, and hope your House Tour videos continue. Thank you for sharing.
Your music room is gorgeous. I absolutely love it, and the rest of the place as well.Thank you so much for sharing.
The hardwood floors are stunning!! ❤
I actually like each room being it's on entity, and the bay window Garden is to die for. The room is absolutely lovely. I just found you but I would love to hear you play your piano. I'll be checking out more of your cooking, your gardening skills and Lord only knows what other interesting Hobbies and talents you have to add to that beautiful home. Thank you
Hum les moulures la tapisserie c'est mon univers merci Kevin 💐🍰🐕🦺😽😽
That music room is really beautiful! I’m not a fan of open concept. I like the individual rooms and wardrobes work out well.
It is very generous of you to share your grand old home and the lovely gardens with your subcribers! As for your cooking, all I can say ia YUM! As for your personality, I have a question. Do you give lessons???
Love that room!!! What intriguing wallpaper! Beautiful pocket doors!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home.
My mother loves African Violets and she grew them when i was younger. Additionally, one of my favorite photos of her qas taken at a recital. My mom, as a teenager, and her morher were at upright pianos, whereas her two much younger sisters were at baby grands. She loves your music room!
Three pianos! Terrific! Your house is beautiful! Enjoy!
LOVE! Each tour is better than the one before. Your home is just beautiful. Why can't you live next door so we can be neighbors??
The Music Room seems like it would be great for recitals and small chamber ensemble concerts.
I think you were my momma in a past life. Your home is beautiful. Thank y’all for saving it. I am going to watch all your videos. And you seem familiar . I use to live in weho.
I am living every minute of your hospitality! I would love to see your housekeeping , and preparing for formal dining and dress code , China and what monogram you have for linens. Thank you. So impressed. I would love to see your dossier. I live in Rye. Thank you
Love your house and gardens; and I’m amazed at all the restoration that you have done. I
took your idea of making little greenhouses for starting plants. It helped me
jumpstart my flower and vegetable gardens. Thank you!
I think the music room is my favorite. I love the wallpaper, and the alcove with the plants. So much light in the room. Beautiful!
