[@southpark1029384756]

Sooo glad someone stepped up and bought this home....applause and good luck!👏🏻

[@v.dargain1678]

He made his old digs the musical inspiration to pianists that Liberace was . It's lovely . I hope to visit it one day and place on one of those pianos .

[@denisefanelli9232]

Couldnt agree with you more ❤ WONDERFUL that it's been restored to its former glory xXx

[@robertdmusic]

This is a great video to see! Was so disappointed years ago to see the video of his house in shambles with no future. wow, what a restoration!

[@lilliearvizu9447]

Beautiful! 🎶🎹🎶💙🎶

[@whatadollslife]

thank you for saving the house dude

[@chandlerbingbong]

what a great story

[@leenguy]

What a fantastic job you have done, Liberace would be so happy with what you have done in keeping his memory alive.

[@toyoko9]

This is wonderful ! Thank you for caring enough to restore his home. I saw him quite a bit in palm springs my father owned a restaurant and he would come in and sit at the counter late at night. He was always kind and gracious.

[@raccoonchronicles5134]

We live an hour south of Vegas and have passed by this house many times when we've been in the city. It's right off the strip on Tropicana. So happy someone bought and restored it, it was so run down and overgrown for the longest time!

[@SrVP100]

Thank you for doing what you can to preserve and honor Liberace's memory.

[@marias7599]

He was a great artist

[@octavianapanait1918]

Each one with his or her opinion. I have another opinion and I respect it. You download the same. A lot of health.

[@rosiemckinzie8608]

Much respect and many thanks for saving and restoring Liberace's home. He is my musical Hero as I am sure a lot of others and it does my heart proud to see what you have accomplished. Congratulations:)

[@tildenhellgate]

Thank you to that Gentleman who bought Liberace's home.... you have done a wonderful job. Thank you for saving Liberace's home.

[@claymationwaves]

Mom?

[@leokimvideo]

Such a wonderful story, as a kid I watched Liberace on Oz TV and he was always a pleasure to watch. He was well ahead of his time in understanding his audience, something that so many don't understand these days

[@danibeasley4761]

Thank you for restoring Liberaces beautiful mansion!My grandmother had to see Liberace everytime he came to Reno Nv!He usually starred at The Nugget !She just loved everything about him!Im starting to have a new found respect and love him like my grandmother!I just got done watching Liberace movie!❤🎼I enjoy playing piano also🎶🎹

[@joesnow7216]

Two sinkholes? How did he shore those up so they wouldn't get worse, I wonder?

[@pianoman551000]

i'm wondering the same thing!!

[@stellaritchie1776]

oh thank you for saving his home because we loved him so much xxx

[@v.dargain1678]

Yes we did .

thats wonderful.... we need to keep this kind of history alive

[@towrnghrybear]

Thank You Martyn, Lovely to see the home and all the work that you have done. The home looks amazing!!! Great to see some of his artifacts from his Museum back in the house after so many years away. I hope someday I will be fortunate enough to see all the work you have done in person. You have a Big fan in TEXAS. AWESOME!!

[@puddysue]

How wonderful... he would have been very happy to know that you are taking care of his beautiful house. It's a shame what was done to the pool though by previous owners.

[@davidmills5042]

Thank you for saving Liberates home. I'm so pleased but you should rebuild the pool and host party's outside it would be fabulous.

[@gabrieladeuschle3596]

Great idea!!!

[@joemomoney13]

Oh yes Thank YOU for bringing back the memories of Liberace.

[@mariejoy8598]

We saw Liberace, a few times, in Wallingford, CT, at the Oakdale Theater. He was great.

[@johnplayersstandard]

I mean I mean it reallymis a beautiful home. This is very cool.

[@adelelarkins5921]

Wonderful. THANK you for restoring this Liberace mansion. BEAUTIFUL !!!

[@stevengay7634]

.....so lovely to see Liberace,s home being cared for once again I'm sure people will visit in their thousands, so happy to see this he was the showman of all showmen!!!

[@RandyWaage]

Amazing! Thank You! This really touched my heart. He was a wonderful individual and it makes me so happy to see this part of his legacy brought back to life.

[@JennasMusic76]

I am in tears, as he was one of my idols. I was so sad a few years back to see what had become of his home. I cannot thank the new owner enough for keeping his legacy alive.

[@annadembowska1160]

I love this man

[@19Ter67]

Thank you SO MUCH for restoring this property!!! We can never forget this icon!!!

[@mariannewedgeworth6444]

So glad to see this beautiful home brought back to life!! Thank you, sir!

[@lianelayman7577]

That's how Liberace liked to live.

[@lianelayman7577]

No it's not,.

[@heatherbeather822]

Wow! I am so glad the house went to a good owner! I would love to see it one day. The staircase is amazing!

[@waldenhouse]

Well done that man! I thought Elton might have bought it! Super job.

[@annkirby6637]

I don't like Madonna either! Elton is a very good musician but he has never claimed to be anything but what he is. He is a very good writer and composer and showman. I love them both for different reasons. @Christopher Grunstra

[@robertnjax1]

Fantastic that this lovely home was restored - so breath taking........wow! Thanks

[@davidspark1533]

Well done and thank you

[@billydebianchi2046]

I was there a few months ago and it didnt look well. I was there a few days ago and it looked amazing. Thank you so much. Lee must be so happy. I was happy. And i saw the dogs outside haha. Its nice to see its being lived in. Best of luck with everything

[@gdntsweetheart]

Thank You for keeping Liberaces Legacy alive... Wonderful , talented pianist...

[@v.dargain1678]

He should start a "fund me" fund for continued preservation of the place OR a music school totally devoted to teaching piano in the Liberace style .

[@richardmoore7259]

I just want to say to you, you did a wonderful job on this place bringing back Liberace's legacy. I loved him when he was alive. Listening to his music. You are treating this place just like Priscilla Presley did with Graceland. Beautiful job. Loved it. Would like to come for a tour of the house some day. Are you going to have it open for the public anytime soon?? Let me know. Thanks.

[@richardc7869]

Liberace: OPULENCE!! I OWN EVERYTHING! .... and it’s fabulous

[@v.dargain1678]

Thanks a bunch Martin ! Vladzu was all the pianist I will never be . I wish he could have been my piano teacher .

[@estelleferguson968]

l carn't tell you just how fantastic l think Liberace is !!!! Thank you so much for restoring his wonderful home which he obviously very much loved.

[@IbelongtoNYC]

Thanks for restoring as the history is important but that neighborhood! L' s grave in Los Angeles is quite something.

[@lisabaltzer3163]

IbelongtoNYC Wayne Newtons neighborhood is not that great either.

[@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753]

"A FEAST FOR THE EYES?". hahahahahaha That's one way of putting it I guess.

[@monsooniphone]

How remarkable. What a brilliant thing to do Thank You 🎃.

[@beboploo]

the guy had class how could you not like him

[@rodmoraes61]

I used to hear Liberace on the radio when I was young. It sounded fantastic, that's why I became his fan. Now he plays beside the angels, but his legacy of art is still alive. Thank you man for all the joy you gave us. Regards from Brazil.

[@juancarlos9592]

Glad the house is restored. Thank you Sir

[@Alice-ov3rd]

Wow! I remember how it was going in decay and thinking what a terrible waste. I'm so glad to see it being cared for and restored. I don't think Liberace would have wanted it gone. Kudos to Martin and others helping to keep it alive and in his memory!!

[@DFelix-ir4qp]

I’m SO glad that this home was purchased and restored. My grandparents loved Liberace, I remember watching him on TV and was always fascinated by his extravagant and beautiful piano playing skills. My 15-year-old son discovered him on KZbin a couple of years ago and asked me to buy him a piano. All I could afford was a 88 keys digital/keyboard. He loves Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin & modern pianists as well. Lately he’s been interested in a Japanese composer of which I don’t remember his name. Last year my son was taking music appreciation class and the teacher would bring different musical instruments to class on a rotational basis. One day he brought in a keyboard and my son sat down and played for the class. Nobody knew his secret talent and he tells me the girls loved it! Now, he may not be a perfect pianist but he plays pretty damn good especially for being self taught. He practices hours on end. I’m thankful to Liberace for bringing my grandparents happiness and also now my son’s hobby, it brings me so much joy. I love to sit and just listen to him play. I know Liberace is up in heaven just having a grand time. He was a sweet, humble soul. He was brilliant. RIP Liberace!!

[@richierichnumber1]

Been decades since I've been in that house how time fly's by.

[@deandestefano9328]

Thank you thank you everyone ❤🎼🎵🎹

[@sherrybassett8512]

I am so glad that this beautiful home is being saved. In 1987 I toured it. We come to Vegas every year and will be back when opened. Thankful,Sherry and Jim Bassett Wisconsin

[@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

God Bless this Gentleman for a true act of the heart and soul. For those of us who could only wait .. and hope.. we offer a very humble and heartfelt Thank You.

[@Shalia583]

Oure wonderful Liberace. Wonderful and so great.

[@AVEMAREAMUSIC]

This is amazing! I just got back from another video showing this house in ruins. I am so late on this but glad that you saved his house! You are an amazing angel

[@baritonebynight]

Glad that its restored to its original condition. I would hate for something special like this to be so called "updated". Some things are timeless. This is one of them.

[@jackirichard414]

Wow what a stunning home

[@lianelayman7577]

I'd sure love to see it.

[@v.dargain1678]

Me too ! Every room looks like it has just the right acoustics for piano playing .

[@donnasnorthernlights2089]

Thank you so much for saving his home.

[@v.dargain1678]

I agree .

[@linapagliari8003]

It’s absolutely stunning home glad u bought it🇨🇦😁Liberace a legend

[@codestud3]

[@v.dargain1678]

[@kempedkemp]

Splendid! Thank you Mr. Ravenhill!

[@ericowensnyc]

[@AtlantaGymFan]

Beautiful! I got a chance to go through it when it was in it's glory!

[@annadembowska1160]

I am glad someone fix it good man

[@tchrisou812]

Class act, I like this guy.

[@putocelular9375]

500k? That was a bargain

[@DarkSkies72]

Open it up. Keep his legacy alive.

[@asa1973100]

Absolutely gorgeous fantastic news...

[@spontaneousgirl4135]

This is awesome!

[@v.dargain1678]

You know it ! It's pianist's dream home .

[@Escul1960]

I was shocked and saddened when I saw the video of the house in ruins. Thanks so much for restoring the house....and Liberace’s legacy.

[@gabrieladeuschle3596]

I was so happy to see this!! I had just watched the video the other day of this home in ruins. I love Liberace and hope to one day walk through this beautiful home. PLEASE open it up to the public soon. It would be such an amazing experience. Thank you so much for restoring it!! We can't let his legacy die. He's a legend!! 💖🎶🎹

[@aussiemomma6069]

im so glad to see this restored thankyou

[@carolleenkelmann3829]

Yes, I am so glad someone not only cared for but had the money,( oh God, all those homeless people walking the streets of LA and Los Vegas.) to restore not only his place of abode but revamp his faded image. As much as I would like to see these Bankers who contributed to all that financial hardships that ruined so many peoples lives, paying their millions of dollars in commission and bonuses as restitution to those who lost out, being brought by law to accountability. After all this time and they are still living snug as a bug in a rug. But we all know, Lady Justice lost her blindfold the day money was invented. That's the real mythology and extortion by pretense merely a means to a greedy end. " I'm alright mate." C'est la Guerre. That's war : that's life. But we can do better. As is proven.

[@MrMelgibstein]

Someone just did a Great job renovating the Liberace Mansion and the city of Las Vegas allowed two houses to be bulldozed across the street and a Homeless Facility moved in.This has really been great for the neighborhood.

[@daphnenapier1102]

Martyn you are a Genius. Taking on this project you will never be disappointed Libreans was worldly popular people will be loveing you like thay do Libreans ever and ever ❤

[@gabrieladeuschle3596]

I don't understand why people go to these sites just to type hateful and negative comments. Why did some of you even stop by? Why did you watch the video? You must have been curious enough to type in the search. Maybe there's a part of this that you secretly wish was your life but you just can't come out and accept it lol. Please respect the artist and fans and know that the world does not revolve around your ignorant selves.

[@albertlyons1042]

Thank you for your devotion to Liberace's memory.

[@JUNITO84]

Liberace would be happy. Thank You Martyn!

[@mariamarinucci2251]

Is so wonderful to know his homes Will be taken care of, especially since he had so much pride in them. They were incredible!

[@KingLion-jy2yl]

1:11 1,5 m$ ?? crazy, i would have done it for free, just food and a room for me and a girl (my coworker)

[@PRIESTWORLD]

THANK U Martyn

[@amandawhitworth2140]

I’m happy it has been restored!Its gorgeous ❤️❤️

[@sussiohlund9139]

Thums up from Sweden!

[@Wyatt333]

A million dollars invested but the piano is out of tune. Surely there’s a metaphors in there somewhere.

[@whatadollslife]

I just watched a 2020 update and the home is back to being amazing inside and out now ...its stunning

[@katemaloney4296]

God bless you! I hope someday to get out there and tour Liberace's beloved home.

[@catherinetelford847]

Well done sir it's so beautiful and out of this world I would love to come and see it but cant am sure liberace would be so proud of you and looking down smiling

[@tbugher62]

Too bad not much is original,the inside is basically a replica.

[@oscarjemeladonne3626]

This house was ugly before and still is... urfff...

[@alisonadams4537]

I would love to visit this if it was open to public and I was in Vegas once more

[@milesmayhem5440]

Imagine looking through that place with a black light.

[@SaxonC]

I wouldn’t even know where to start cleaning if I had to . lol

[@wuzzygirl906]

that's awesome

[@daezjn]

hope to see it public one day .. would love to see his wardrobe!

[@senniewhite6301]

*Two sinkholes? Admirable.*

[@RicardoGarcia-kv8it]

No wonder the Bible says vanity of vanity lol

[@Ken15643]

This is so wonderful. Thank you for doing this.

[@elleryeggen9678]

Maybe show Liberace's place in Lake Tahoe. I remember driving by his piano shaped gate on Kingsbury grade. He was a jewel to us up here in the mountains. When he played the showroom at Caesars Tahoe, he would have an up and coming pianist play in the casino bar ( maybe for us poor folk who could not afford his A-list top dollar show)!! Love you Liberace! ! My Grandmother, way before it was appropriate, said that Liberace was the gay man all the old ladies wanted to have for a son/brother/husband!! She said Liberace put Grandpa Pete to shame. Liberace was a REAL man. Miss you Liberace.

[@milesmayhem5440]

God knows he took it like a man.

[@c.a.schulze1251]

Mr. Ravenhill, thank you!

[@mattkeating9103]

A direct blood descendent of someone from roughly 500-600 years ago? And I’m the great grandson of Issac Newton...

[@gabrieladeuschle3596]

It's amazing how that happened huh? Especially in a time of no internet. How did he find him? Lol

[@brendaseay5556]

Thank you so much for saving this house!

[@magiccheeseball]

It looks like a one story house where dose the stairs go?
