Beautiful home you're so fortunate to have scored such a rare beauty! Please do part 2 for us soon ☺
Hopefully. The weather is getting better but will rain the next couple days. This weekend might be a good chance for a second. I plan I doing a walk around and plan out some ideas.
@@styleznu - Yay! ☺
@@melisalopez2811 I am planning on uploading a new walk through this week!! so sorry its been so long. I'm working on building this channel. :)
Wowee, what a jewel!
Can't get over the uniqueness of the carvings!!! I think the over mantle in the sunroom is a carving of passion vine, never seen anything like it! The stair rail is fabulous, seems like it is transitioning from victorian to the aesthetic movement.
Amazing details, thank you for sharing!
That’s a beauty! Thanks for the tour.
It's great that there are so many Victorian features intact or restored, and that you have some fine period pieces to furnish the place! In any antique house, the most difficult room to deal with is the kitchen. Of course you need modern appliances to make it functional, but keeping the cabinetry and the flooring as period-appropriate as you can will help it blend with the rest.
This is a gorgeous house, and I'm glad you are respecting its history.
Thank you very much!! The few owners this home has had have taken very good care of her. although someone did carpet the dining and living areas of the home the previous owners brought back the wood floors and now the original doors are a little short but nothing that looks bad and is a neat little part of the homes history.
She's a beauty. My home was 140 year's old at the time of move in. Lot's of work before even moving in🤑Your new home has been well kept. I am so happy for you and your family. Oh and let's not forget your furry kid's 😘Stay blessed and maybe video #2 later?
Thank you. We are the fourth owners in 130+ years. It's been taking care of with love and you can tell.
What a fantastic house with so many original details - also in good shape! You are very fortunate to live here. That furniture in the last bedroom upstairs, looks like it could be original to the house. Just beautiful.
It very well maybe. no one wants to move it lol the previous owners tried to sell it to us but wanted way too much and we got lucky and they left it. :) The home has been loved and you can feel it.
Thank you so much to all that watched!! I will be posting a new walk through now 2 years into ownership. Let me know if there is anything in particular about the house you would like to see!!
Really nice house, beautiful floors and woodwork, bright and move in ready. I usually find Victorian homes dark and spooky, but do not get those vibes at all with this home. Once all decorated it will be a showplace.
Wow - whoever owned that home really kept up with it. Can't believe what really good shape the original fixtures are in...Icebox?? Wow....Fireplace mantel?? Front Mailbox?
Over 2 years later and we are still finding things in the home that we are falling in love with.

heres an update of what we have done. We also have some new wallpaper and crown molding for the baseball room at the top of the stairs.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting
I actually watched your 2 years later tour first. You are fortunate that you didn't move into a neglected wreck, as your house has been well maintained. My home is 113 years old. I wouldn't move into a new home in a subdivision for anything. Old homes take plenty of love, but they also give so much love.
😍😍 i would like to have a home like this when i’m older!
I am already older and would like a house like that.
@@davidc1502 i love houses like these still to this day
@@ilovesuzshi236 Same her my house was built in 1997 has no character!
Wow it is wonderful!
WOW!! Servants quarters all ready to go!!
Right?!! now i just need someone to fill those shoes.
That mail box is old too my grandparents had the same one. Lovely carnival window in the bay. Hope you keep the good stuff lol
Keeping all the good stuff. Mostly colors and bringing back painted wood.
Please dont mess it up!
"There's a little tiny girl" 😄☺️ Lovely magnificent house 🤩💕
She's a daddies girl for sure and the project manager of the home. She is in my video of the door in the sunroom being re-finished. thanks so much for watching and commenting
Awesome I have the perfect furniture for it and I could see what curtains I would make too! Lucky!
We would love some new curtains! haha Thanks we love the place
That bedroom set is everything!!👍
Right?!!! I wanna clean it and protect it and bring back a bit of its original glamour.
Nice! Your “ little lamps” are wall sconces. Very cool house!
Yes they are!! Thank you.
Beautiful and charming home, good luck and God Bless.
Thanks so much!! Have some updates coming soon.
Beautiful! Please do not change the lights..but you probably did
Haven't changed any lights yet. Here is a new walkthrough th-cam.com/video/VuzCpT_AUNI/w-d-xo.html
What room is your favorite?
Gorgeous home.
Thank you!! I appreciate that! :)
I want to see that basement.
No, you are very, very lucky.
beautiful!
Thank you! Cheers!
beautiful
Thank you! 😊
Add timestamp 12:27 is that a wash stand? It looks like the type they would use with a pitcher and bowl but that's very rare to see these days. What were the little ledges at the top?
These are very good questions. This bed set was left with the house and has been there since the people before us.
Love the mother of pearl switches. Are those original or reproduction? The newer ones are UL listed unlike the originals
Original here. Fun fact is that this house was the first to have a telegraph in the town. Still has the switch he used to change between his office and the house. Lots of nob and tube left (non operational) for looks. We are only the 3rd family in 130+ years.
I live in a 130 yr old house ...split into 2 apartments..I live upstairs
It's beautiful
Thank you! we are happy to have found this gem and love the home and are making it our own. Only the 4th owners in 130 years
Nice!
Thank you!
Beautiful can you give us an update
Mary Thanks so much for watching!! Have you seen this new video yet?

I hope to keep you and everyone else more up to date with the home.
Volume needs turning up can barely hear you on my speaker.
Sorry about that.
Do ppl not realize electricity in homes has been a thing since the 1800s?
Yes, and even homes that were originally gaslit were eventually refitted for electricity, oftentimes refitting the existing light fixtures for the new power source. Most rural homes in the US did not use electricity until at least the 1920’s.
@@marjoriemorse9229 Rural homes? Even in smaller cities they didn't have electricity until after WWI.
@@marjoriemorse9229 Exactly! Outside of the cities electricity didn't arrive until the 1920s and 1930s. In rural areas not until after WWII.
lol i was looking at how to build a victorian dollhouse.....
Have you had a chance to build it? would love to see it
@@styleznu I actually ended up buying an already assembled one, and am working on decorating it now. It's coming along very well and almost finished. If you would like to see it, I'm VintageLizzy on Pintrest. its under Victorian dollhouse ideas>my dollhouse.
I also really love your house! I recently bought a house built much newer than yours (70s) and the problems on it are immense! I can only imagine how yours must be! What's life without adventure? I hope you have a nice day.
I'll jelly
What you called a bedroom on the first floor has to be the dining room. That location doesnt make sense as a bedroom.
I'll have to do an update now. We are two years in and I agree that it is not a normal place for it but has been working for us. 😊
I think maybe a music room? Many older homes had them.
I would agree. Somewhere in its history, perhaps when the sunroom was added, walls were moved and rooms repurposed. Maybe it was to accommodate an elderly parent. You have a good historical research project to embark on when you have the time.
@@susanalexander7990 I love the idea of a music room, or even a family room. There seem to be enough bedrooms upstairs that this downstairs room could be repurposed.
If it ain't broke , don't fix it
beautiful house... so is it haunted?
Haha not at all. If they are here, they have not shown us. lol my wife says she has good feelings in this home. We had an opportunity to buy another one in this town just as old and basically the realtor and my wife thought it was for sure haunted and it had been completely updated on the inside and didn't feel old
Jonathan Barber oh nice!!! Well it’s a beautiful home! You guys chose the right one!
