[@Rinsuki]

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.

Yes, where can I sign. I think that’s why I have bought. I would have to build my house from the ground up, based on my design taste. These new cookie cutter home are annoying. I miss handcraft work throughout a home.

[@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.

I grew up in a 3 story Queen Anne and we HAD to carpet the upstairs, as shown in ur video, due to the cold weather. It helped 80% I would say.... And it was in the southeast ; however, there are a couple of months of Jan-Mid March that get awfully cold. The attic fan is a lifesaver in the summer. In summer, Open windows and flip on the big fan. I never ever remember being hot at night. Howeva, if it is during the day it does get warm upstairs in these houses....but who the heck hangs out in the upstairs bedrooms in the day...we didn't ? Great house with lots of children to create wonderful memories!

@@gloriahanes5338 I live in an early 19th century stone farmhouse with two feet thick walls and the original windows (now with storms on top). I have to disagree about the "warm in winter" part, although it probably would be pretty good if we still had the original wood box stoves in the rooms; a modern heat pump can't quite put out enough heat to warm up the stones so that they radiate heat back at night. Having said that, it is lovely and cool, if a little damp, in the summer, and we often make it into mid-July before having to turn the AC on just in the afternoon.

That added to crumbling foundations, rotting walls, floors, ceilings, etc, lead and arsenic poisoning in paints, tubs and probably mold.... it's actually a lot more cost effective to tear down and re-build. 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.

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.

Beautiful deal.

The fireplaces are fabulous.

Beautiful -big and that beautiful craftsman details !! Maybe a home that could house all my crock bowls - platters quilts - baskets and cabinets !! And natural wood !! A real beauty !! Thank you for the look !!

[@janinejohnson5014]

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.

[@Siansonea]

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.

[@leopardwoman38]

The white cabinets and modern additions definitely detract from the historic charm of the home.

[@carolweaver3269]

@@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?

[@RamdomRando]

So glad someone pointed it out, when she said "the kitchen doesn't feel crammed" I literally screemed YES IT DOES. ISLANDS IN THE MIDDLE OF KITCHENS LOOK HORRIBLE and it especially doesn't look nice here, unbelievably out of place.

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.

@@genkibee9466 I'll tell you a little cleaning secret. Add a little Fabuloso cleaner to your bucket of warm water with the Murphy's Oil. I like the green Fabuloso because it smells like apples. It will make the house smell good and does not hurt the wood. My customers love it. Lemon oil is great too for polishing. I also like the orange oil products that are out there. They smell wonderful.
