It's rare nowadays because of demand and because of the expertise required. Things are mass produced now and those craftsman are rare. It makes maintaining a house such as this so expensive because the parts are special made as they are no longer produced. If they are it is a very niche market. This house is stunning and I would love to live in a such a place. Maybe I would update the garden as well (avid gardener here). However, I have a beautiful garden I wouldn't like to part with where I live so...XD leave it for someone else.

[@robinbirdj743]

@@Rinsuki it’s the cost, and the fact that the masses don’t have access to the good lumber required, either. In fact, that kind of wood needs to be purchased salvaged, usually and can be difficult to find. Remodelers in the 1920s, 30s and 40s salvaged building materials, but more current remodelers did not. So many old homes are still being torn down. It’s the cost to save it vs the demand and willingness to invest the only non renewable resource-time- and sometimes ignorance plays a part.

Why do they always ruin a beautiful old home with a white kitchen. It deserved some kind of wood cabinets to match all the other woodwork.

The 'master bathroom' is another crime against this house. There's nothing worse than walking from a beautifully preserved historic room into a McMansion kitchen and bath. People have no respect for these buildings, I don't know why they want to live in historic properties and then turn them into 'open concept' 90s travesties.

@@Siansonea They must have been spending most of their time in the back of the home in the kitchen? It may have been like a Den with a TV and wood stove back for heating's sake, they may have done this just to feel quint in the late part of evenings as a family? But why it had to look so modern am not sure? Guess that would be the main thing anyone else could change. You are getting this house for a gem of a price, so you could totally change that kitchen and room attached into whatever you wanted? It would really be grand as an almost total-sized kitchen? But maybe they wanted a close family evening time, if children were still small?

If you were to search up the listing prices of these older homes and mansions, you'll find that although still expensive, they're much cheaper than they should be because it could take millions just to fix up. Europe is filled with abandoned castles and homes that can't be maintained.

Beautiful deal. I really believe the original purpose of the room to the right of the entry is the parlor, through to the library-they often had pocket doors to draw-thus all the shelves, low light over a low table; the dining room is the one adjacent to the kitchen with the swinging door for serving. The fireplaces are fabulous.

[@genkibee9466]

I think you are correct and it is now this way again, the room to the right is a parlour, then leading to an office-library, with the dining room on the left side, leading into the kitchen. That flow works well for us.

This gorgeous Queen Anne home was featured in the book "America's Painted Ladies." It received mixed reactions when it was given it's current polychrome paint scheme. It is absolutely stunning inside and out. Clearly the historically accurate colors grew on people.

[@keepithistoric956]

Definitely a trend towards going with original colors on the exterior. Less so with interior. I cringe when I see a beautiful wooden mantel painted white.

[@genkibee9466]

We love her colors, they are distinctive enough to stand out, 8 in number, but also soft and natural enough not to steal attention ALL from the magnificent grounds and natural features of the property so I think it is a lovely balance. Excellently chosen exterior color scheme and we will be keeping it for sure.

I was floored by that price! Congrats to whomever was fortunate enough to buy that glorious gem of a home. I would feel like I was in a fairy tale if it were mine. I'd probably just zone out all day staring at the fireplaces taking in their beauty. If I were presented with such an opportunity near where I live I think I'd sell my current home without hesitating to live in something so wonderful.

I have seen library type shelving in in several Victorian and Edwardian dining rooms. They were original to the house. People in those days had complete and separate sets of china for EVERY occasion. They even had different sets of china for each meal, breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. These could range from every-day, casual, business, semi-formal, formal and even very rare occasion formal and any or all combinations of these. So, it was common for homeowners to display all of their sets of china all in one place. Thus, all of the shelving in the dining room. It was like a passive yet conspicuous demonstration of their china bragging rights. You did such a beautiful job on this, as you always do.
