FOR SALE: APALACHICOLA FLORIDA BAY FRONT VICTORIAN-STEP BACK IN TIME IN THIS RESTORED QUEEN ANNE

[@GregPhillips-n3z]

I was the General Contractor on this project in Apalachicola. It was a long and tedious process made to be a pure joy because of the owners. John was very "hands on" but more importantly he was very "brain on" the job. The most technically intelligent client I have worked with in over 40 years. His lovely wife Christine had very important and valuable contributions as well.

[@OurRestorationNation]

That’s so good to hear John seemed like a really great guy. You did beautiful work here. We were amazed by this restoration and we see a lot!

[@thjonez]

git er done wow!

[@grits4658]

You Sir, are wonderfully talented. I usually don’t watch this type of show but saw the beautiful thumbnail and loved the outside. I watched and was amazed…..watching until the end.

[@judithcoloma613]

I cannot believe 20 years restoration. That just boggles the mind. The home is absolutely stellar.

[@georgemack120]

Lane, I had forgotten just how pristine your presentations are! What a stunningly beautiful piece of Americana...loving history. Thanks for all the detail.

[@loribragg2947]

As a native-born Floridian, I’ve always been sad to see so many gorgeous Victorian homes torn down due to damage from extreme heat, humidity, insects, and hurricanes. Then I visited Apalachicola 25 years ago and was stunned to see so many Victorians still intact! I fell in love with the place instantly. A hurricane hit the city directly a few years ago (I don’t remember which one) and I thought, “Oh, no; all those gorgeous Victorian homes!” so I’m REALLY glad to see there are plenty still standing. The owners did a FABULOUS job. My grandfather was a master woodworker. He could turn four bedposts free hand (no computer to measure them) and have them all match. In the 1970s and 1980s he worked for Gulfstar in St. Petersburg, building real wood cabinetry and interiors for yachts. He would have appreciated the artistry and flawless restoration of this beautiful home (he lived to be 92). This kind of craftsmanship is being lost, unfortunately. Thanks so much for taking us on the tour of this immaculately restored home! 😊👍

[@lisabumgarner1301]

What a beautiful story . 💐💐💐

[@megfuchs9425]

Where are the men who used to build these beautiful houses for their brides? I'm looking for such a man!😊 I'm speechless!

[@ltvanburen8555]

Be ready to make babies and follow orders. Today, you make the money and you can purchase it.

[@philipstory770]

I didn't know I needed a home in Apalachicola but now I do!

[@jodiutley7292]

I would absolutely love living in this home!

[@patrickhueyatthepodium229]

Love your shows! Don't let the haters bring you down!! Keep shining bright!

[@hoosierladyus48]

Oh my goodness, that is my dream home. I absolutely adore it!

[@joanjackson5825]

Those that restored this house didn't excellent job! I believe it's the most beautiful house I've ever seen. Thank you for showing it to us.❤

[@fjb7380]

Amazing resto - and an amazing value for all that history and craftsmanship. The current owners have done an incredible job.

[@sacredlovetarot1971]

The staircase with all of those little nooks, be still my heart ❤️

[@MichaelChapman-ge6ri]

Hi Lane and Kevin. So sorry you are going through this nightmare with a “potential buyer”. I’ve watched you guys for years and you are THE REAL DEAL. Your knowledge of historic homes is like the best I’ve ever seen anywhere. Keep your heads up. Your viewers got your back. Love you guys!

[@snoozieq4584]

Oh my 😮😮 Furnishings are included and negotiable 😮😮 I wish I had the money to buy it ALL and maintain her as she deserves! Thank you so much for putting a spotlight on this magnificent gem!

[@georgiagal9410]

There are not enough adjectives to describe the beauty of this home!!! 😮

[@lizhernandez7409]

Hi guys wanted to let u know u have my support all the way. There are so many mean negative people that are just haters. Please do not let then discourage you. Your channel is awesome and I truly enjoy it. 😊

[@SpanishEclectic]

As the granddaughter of an English furniture maker, I'm over the moon with all of that fantastic wood! Just wonderful! The owners have shown such attention to detail (engineer, lol), and everything is so tastefully done. Our Maritime Museum here in San Diego includes both the Star of India (built 1863), and the replica of the Surprise (used in Master and Commander), and I love to sneak extra time in the Captain's cabins; I totally agree that this house has a ship vibe in every room. Thank you for showing us all of the special details and features. I imagine the view from the widow's walk was unmatched before those trees grew so tall. Really enjoyed this one, Laine and Kevin!

[@Jeannified]

I am originally from the south, but live in San Diego too. Love this channel and all of the great preservation work they both do! I fantasize about buying a beautiful old home on the Gulf and retiring to this area one day. My husband is a Californian though, and hates humidity, though he does enjoy Florida!

[@wildfireintexas]

As the comments are turned off your most recent video I thought I would come here and tell you how sorry I am for all the problems with the “buyer” of Pearl. It is a lovely house and you both put you hearts and souls, literally risking life and limb, into restoring the house. Unfortunately there will always be people who are never happy, want something for nothing, and are full of venom and want vengeance. But I have faith you will recover from this and move forward with your new project and I look forward to watching you videos. Good luck and God Bless.

[@kaykasper8770]

I couldn’t comment on your most recent video about the sweet green house, but I want you to know I’m praying for both of you, and even for those who are persecuting you. I would own any home you two have “restored” because I have seen the attention to detail and the hard work you put into each one. Turn the comments back on for your last video and see how much we all love you. Use the negative comments in your ongoing suit. Thank you both for what you do to bring back homes that have such history. God bless you both.

[@Jeannified]

What an absolute masterpiece! Love that they kept the family toilet(s) in the garage bathroom! What an amazing home!

[@wandamackenzie144]

Thank you Laine and Kevin .. what perfection. That Welcome to our Home door ❣ Big bow to their restoration abilities ❗

[@sylviajones4907]

Oh my! So beautiful. The Cypress boards....amazing! Thank you for showing us this gorgeous home. I was mesmerized by all the details.

[@heidigresh2743]

What a beautiful restoration! Such attention to detail! Lovely!!

[@cynthiastratton1034]

I am weeping at this stunning house inside and out! Amazingly beautiful

[@CynthiaBerry713]

Perfection indeed. One of my favorite grand staircases, with the landings, the arched niches, again, perfection!

[@gardengate4253]

The paint colors chosen were perfect. The wood in the house breaths to me, it's alive! Beautifully done.

[@charityhostetter8123]

A-MAAAA-ZING home! Love how the Kitchen Was built to look like stand alone pieces.... And that bath! Thanks for taking us along to see another wonderful home! ❤

[@anon877]

WOW that inside is absolutely flipping STUNNING

[@soccermom1245]

i love the miniatures on the wall in the butler's pantry. And I don't think I have ever seen alternating wood in a wainscoting. Beautiful!

[@nana23boyz3]

So sorry you guys have to go through this legal mess. I know you did not do anything wrong, and so will all your followers. Much love to both.

[@PageCreations]

Such a beautiful home and the current owners did such a glorious job making it beautiful again. You can tell they loved that home. Thank you for sharing it. 😊

[@timeforchange3786]

What an absolutely GORGEOUS dream home! 😍🥰😍 someone will definitely be blessed

[@janicebrowningaquino792]

What a BREATHTAKING job they have done on this home!

[@lookingup333]

This house is incredible! Obviously, these people are fanatics. The home is spotless and organized to a T. So many gorgeous details preserved and look just like new again. 😊

[@socksonaroosterfinishes-so1501]

Wow wow wow! Impeccable restoration. What a dream! I too thought those little arches looked like they should be in a ship! Like window casings for port holes or something of that nature. What a beautiful presentation of the past ship builders who constructed this gorgeous home. Bravo to the current owners for its keeping. What an exquisite piece of art! Thanks for sharing it all with us, Laine & Kevin. Truly enjoyed it!

[@anitabarlow1948]

This is the most beautiful home I've ever seen in my 57 years of life! Every aspect of it is BREATHTAKING!

[@MediocreComedian]

What a gorgeous lady! Breathtaking. Hard to imagine the amount of work that went into this restoration. Thanks for showing this true dream home 💚💜

[@sazizwaz8269]

Lane & Kevin I'm so sorry for your current situation. I totally support you. My husband and I had been in the construction business for years. What you've encounter is the hardest part of this business. Everthing you addressed and how you commented in your newst video makes total sense. These people have taken simple resolveable issues and are trying to turn then into major problems. They are punch list items that the buyer gives the seller to be completed before closing. I have loved watching you create and restore for a few years. I am so amazed from beginning to end. I love what you do. Its sometimes impossible to modernize r a 100yr old home yet you truly work at it with the best interest of the house and the space offered. Im sure I'm not alone when I say all that you have created is worth fighting for.!! You have dedicated fans who will stand by you supporting your love and hard work saving Americas older homes. ❤. Thank you for sharing . I always look forward to watching your process from beginning to end .

[@freedomhigh2160]

Absolute Dream home and the history is what makes it stand tall and strong with much to be admired and appreciated. What a GEM. I LOVE this property.

[@megfuchs9425]

I could stare at the etched glass all day. How breathtaking!!

[@melissasornprommas9819]

You guys are an inspiration for your Integrity and creativity

[@kennethstuckey7823]

Hi Laine and Kevin! Now that's a wow, wow, wow house inside and out! I love and appreciate how that entire house has been painstakingly and fascinatingly restored to complete perfection and exquisite beauty---to include the landscaped garden areas and out buildings! That entire house is stunning and a compliment to itself. The flow of it is extremely cohesive and the furniture selections, wall hangings, etc., etc., were expertly curated and well placed. I can just envision a happy family living graciously in this house and thoroughly enjoying every holiday they spend together there. Reflecting on the fact that someone actually had to remove several layers of paint from all that woodwork in the stair hall, study and other areas inside that house, make my toes curl just thinking about it. Laine, as usual, I learned so much from you during this video! I also appreciate Kevin's expert and detailed videography of all aspects of this house, inside and out, which allowed me to thoroughly grasp and completely understand, marvel at and see the full effect of all things that are being presented. This video is awesome!

[@hopehope7696]

I must say that this is I think one of the beautiful detailed homes I ever seen. Thank u so much for your time. It allows me to see homes that I never would ever be able to. Thank you again. Great job ❤️🤗😊

[@carmenkraft9311]

This one was a stunner!! That main hall that they stripped all the paint off, the etched glass, the ship builder’s cubby, the window’s walk and that milk paint door! One amazing feature after another ❤❤

[@judithfilbert9173]

I've just recently found you and watched some of your work on these beautiful homes. Sorry that you are encountering a problem with the "buyer" of your home. I couldn't comment under that video, so I'm commenting here. You are doing great work and have always presented yourselves in an honest and transparent manner. Keep on Keeping on!

[@OurRestorationNation]

Thank you so much!

[@jroberts8442]

Love y’all and saw your video posted today. I LOVE the way the house turned out. It is BEAUTIFUL. Don’t worry about the negative Nancy’s you had to deal with with that house. You are obviously responsible, respectable, trustworthy and upstanding business people. Btw, my husband and I have been going to Apalachicola for years and have seen the lovely homes there. We have been to Macon and seen the Hay House as well. Love your videos and all you do! Thank you!

[@amymalchodi8005]

Laine and Kevin you are amazing ❤️💜💜 You do phenomenal work!!

[@filenotfound6203]

What a gorgeous house! I can't even imagine removing all that paint-- what a labor of love.

Omg! What a house 😮! Thank you for showing you this fabulous house!

[@lyndatodis2695]

A lot of love and care went into that house. It is beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous home

[@annenyman678]

Love the painted door!

Simply amazing!!! I know the difficulty in stripping woodwork and how frustrating it can be. Homes like this are an inspiration to keep on working ❤

[@loramcclamrock5549]

I have the greatest respect for your abilities and your character. Plz know I will be keeping y'all in prayer. The house is beautiful, but way too expensive, not to mention that I live in Indiana!! ❤❤🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏

[@bexief31]

Absolutely stunning craftsmanship. The love that the owners clearly put into this restoration is evident. It is so important to save these treasures.

[@lindaparker1823]

We love this beautiful part of old Florida and this video is a treat to watch! Love the house and so happy to see that it has been lovingly restored.

[@Silversmoke1000]

Why would anyone ever want to sell and leave this charming home? So many wonderful details but the mirrors were so unusual and lovely. The women's upstairs bathroom was perfection and the other upstairs bathroom amazing. The fixtures, just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@OurRestorationNation]

They are moving closer to grand babies. It’s not an easy decision for sure!

[@michellemorring8015]

That door at about 25 minutes into the video is a-door-able! Thats gotta be my favorite detail of the house. Warms my heart ❤

[@jeannerountree952]

This one is amazingly beautiful beyond words.

[@1111Thatway]

Very very very impressive. Much respect for this restoration and id never be able to sell this home after 20 years ? Wow ! Thank you Laine and Kevin for brining us this magnificent restored home. They have done an outstanding. What a blessing this is.

[@OldLadyInFL]

If you wait, the house prices around the gulf are dropping like rocks, because the hurricanes are getting so bad in that area. This is actually a flipper. He's only owned it two years, and it's been on the market for over 200 days.

[@susanfinch9211]

@dsa2591 the price is very fair imo. If I had it, I'd buy it!! 😊

[@dotsyjmaher]

@@OldLadyInFL What are you talking about? Who is a flipper...I AM actually interested in this home I have been looking all over the panhandle specifically interested in the Queen Anne's... What is this "flipper" story?

[@zanna9857]

I live in northeast Ohio on what was once the 2nd busiest port on Lake Erie. There are sooo many houses on the beachside cliffs w/widow walks/watches on the roofs. I've fantasized about climbing up them since I was little. This house made all those dreams come true! If I had one, I'd be marching up there everyday w/my morning coffee & book! What a beautiful, beautiful home!💞

[@sallybrown359]

My husband and I have gone by this place many times when going out fishing and when driving by. It is beautiful on the outside and now I have seen the inside. Priceless!

[@seanmcgcostumes]

There is SO MUCH to love here! The charmingly painted 200 year old bathroom door. The bathroom turret. The clever way the bathroom’s walk-in shower with the weird angled wall space utilizes that wall and a *gorgeous* stained glasses window to let in light yet keep privacy. The original wood walls that are so incredibly gorgeous. The true widows walk with the original ladder. The tiles in the kitchen with the unique origin, and the UK fireplace that adds the current owner’s spirit into the diverse architectural history of the house that all works harmoniously together. I’m in awe of this beauty!

[@CaroleMinxBlanton]

What a beautiful jewel. Thanks for the tour.

[@susiecox8413]

Hi Laine and Kevin, this home is gorgeous with incredible features! Great tour!

[@ceeceewhi7942]

Beautiful home! The amount of detail and work into the home is truly unmatched. Their knowledge in the restoration of historical homes is amazing! If I did a walkthrough with them, I would be there to learn... it would be teachable moment. As we get older, we learn to keep our mouth shut when someone has more knowledge. They are the teachers when it comes to restoring homes. Love this channel! ✨♥️✨

[@marybeth17]

Oh my goodness! How I wish I had the money to buy the exquisite home. Which was my exact thoughts the whole time you were taking us through the home. This couple were blessed to receive the home in the condition it was in. To still have all of the original glass & woodwork in the home was amazing. You can tell how much they truly cared about the home. They took the time without cutting any corners in order to restore it all back to it’s original gorgeous glory including the 3 person outhouse. I loved every part of the home including all of the antique furniture. Kudos to them! They did a fabulous job with it.💞

[@susanfinch9211]

Breathtakingly exquisite!! This house gives me chills. And the telephone book by the potty holes!! ❤❤!!

[@maryfindley434]

I'm surprised to not see lots of wallpaper in the home. It is absolutely beautiful.

Regarding your newer video, comments are closed, which I understand, but I wanted to give you my support, and telling you I have dealt with people like that and just make a nightmare out of nothing. You guys keep doing your good work, and thanks for letting us enjoy it at a distance. Those 2 people will have to live with each other and that's their punishment lol

[@legomylinda]

This is one of the most beautiful houses IV ever seen. All the wood, breathtaking.

[@darlenevm]

I’m commenting on this video, but it’s actually for your newer “Response” video because the comments are turned off on that one. For those of us who know your work and watched the progress on Pearl from the beginning, we KNOW how much love, blood, sweat and hard work you put into the renovation. It paid off, because Pearl is a thing of beauty! Jennifer Dean (the buyer who bailed on the purchase at the 11th hour) doesn’t have a prayer trying to prove her claims against you. In fact, you have video, photo and documented proof that Jennifer’s accusations are purely vicious libel and slander. She picked the wrong people to mess with, and I pray that this ridiculous noise ends soon for you both. Love you Laine and Kevin❤❤❤

[@laurelcampbell5085]

I was so impressed with this beautiful home, immediately thought of it with the oncoming hurricane, Helene, hope it and those living in the community will be safe.

[@OldLadyInFL]

This is my favorite home you've done so far, being a southern lady living FL. It's stunning! Are any of the fireplaces functional? Those coal bins could now be used as wood boxes, like I had in my old house, so you don't have to go out and get wood all the time. The light fixtures are amazing! I love eclectic mixed-style houses, so this would be right up my alley. I can't see a woman of that period climbing up all those ladders to the widow's walk. Probably had a servant do it.

[@craftysuzcreates]

I love the way you show off all the beautiful details of these beautiful homes. This one is so spectacular. I was so impressed with wow a house with that wood still unpainted then you said it was covered in layers of paint. I can’t even imagine stripping all that beautiful wood. The owners did an amazing job.

[@debisybesma5855]

now THAT'S a home!!!! wow!!!! i did construction cleaning for several years. "custom" homes of a million dollars and more but compared to THIS ?......they were so very cookie cutter. granite this, marble that but none of them had the character of THIS!!! this is like....the HOPE DIAMOND of homes!!!! the craftsmanship and attention to detail just makes my jaw drop and i think that's why i have such an interest in european history/building. they still have people who know how to do things passed down from generation to generation STILL! just watched a piece on the rebuilding of notre dame and again wow!!! another awesome piece to view as they aren't just "building...." they are meticulously building!!! inch by inch until it is....notre dame again!!! thank you for sharing this as...ya make me wish i knew how to do SOMETHING with building/constructing!!!! shoot....a birdhouse!!!??.....maybe a queen anne style lol

[@noraelliott7304]

Hey there I’m watching your latest video about the legal issues you are dealing with. I’m so sorry you are dealing with people like this. Your work is phenomenal, it’s unfortunate that there are sad angry people looking to attack people like yourself. Everyone sees through these type people anyway and know your work is completed with love. All the very best.

Luscious! Completely luscious!!! Thank God people restore homes people like you I just wouldn't know what we would do without you. I adore old houses they really don't make them like they used to. I lived in a home built in the 1880s and Connecticut and the stone basement had never ever leaked and it was in its original condition.

[@janettporter6795]

I have always loved older homes. There was so much more that went into them than just boards, nails, and windows. The builders took pride in what they did. All the little details. They were artists when they were building. When I was younger, I always wanted to bring back a beautiful old home. It makes me sad to see an older home that was once granted and now beyond repair. It's a good thing that you and the people who renovated this home are doing. Thank you 😊, I love it.

[@vickiephilpitt7697]

This is one magnificent home! You can tell the love of restoring (probably the hate as well) it took forever after seeing the photos. The style would have matched those I fell in love with as a child growing up along the coast of NJ. When visiting friends in Apalachicola, I noticed the whole of downtown was still a quaint historic town and everyone knew everyone else. Beautiful town and outstanding house. I personally would love to own it but simply can't afford it. 😮😊😢
