HOUSE TOUR: 1904 Victorian Mansion SOLD

This lady shines! She displays the rare combination of a great salesperson and art historian. As she examines things in detail, an infectious enthusiasm emanates from her deep knowledge of period styles and details.

[@mwebb3014]

When you first showed the unfinished space on the third floor, my first thought was “ballroom”. Then, you showed us the actual ballroom!! Wowee!!! Stunning home!

[@bn7931]

I still want the ballroom 😂😂 But I also love the air bnb idea too!!

[@LucasFernandez-fk8se]

Why would the ballroom be on the third floor though? Shouldn’t it be downstairs where the guests are ? That would be a hell of a trek to the ballroom wouldnt it?

[@michaelcheli5842]

Laine. Love that entry stairway and sunroom landing. Such beautiful windows throughout, and great spaces. Lots of roof angles in upstairs spaces are not my favorite, which makes the upstairs spaces of this home a big win! And I love the wonderful light fixtures and fireplaces. And all of the items that need restoring are the fun finish work items. You can't buy a doorknob in my area of California for the low price of that home. Thanks for the 1st class tour.

[@chucksuter6551]

Omg this is literally like a step back home. That central stair in the entry is probably one of the most prominent feature in early 20th century homes in baltimore. It was so comforting to see that

My eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw that attic space!

[@tarianadavis1842]

Should be a HGTV show, I love her voice and her passion!

[@frankcoffey]

That "sitting" room off the master bedroom should be one huge closet. You can sill use it as a sitting / dressing room and maybe take in part of it to expand the bath with a big jetted tub and enclosed toilet room. A period correct chandelier would look good in the grand closet and a smaller one over the tub.

[@Lea941]

Wow!! I’m blown way! That house is absolutely gorgeous!! But one thing, where’s the dining room? Could it possibly be where the gentlemen’s parlor is ? I love that house!

Hi from Australia, such beautiful historic homesteads. So much intricate detail. Makes me want to move to the U. S. A. The sale price of this property in Australia would only buy you a very modest single story 3 bedroom home. Love your channel.

I had no idea that Little Rock Arkansas have so many historical homes n there all so beautiful. This one you showed was amazing for that price. My fear is someone will buy it n tear everything historical part of the home. I’ve never seen wooden floors with that size planks. They were so narrow. Good idea for the attic. It would be perfect at what you mentioned . I hope whoever buys this place will keep the the original as much as possible except if definitely do the kitchen over. ♥️♥️😊👍👍👍

I'd move right in and be happy. It is move in ready enough for my tastes. So beautiful. I'd jump on an opportunity like that except where it is located. I long for an old home to restore on many acres so I can have a little homestead. Then eventually I would like to host guests on my property as a little country getaway.

[@kathycamasso6672]

I love the house and fell in love the second I saw that staircase. I'm confused though, considering the size, why such a tine kitchen and no dining room? That 2nd bedroom would definitely become a dressing room/ sitting area. The stuff dreams are made of!

[@brainerdboy1177]

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful historic home with us! It is absolutely stunning! Whenever I see homes like this I always can't help but wonder who the original owners were and what their lives were like on a daily basis.

[@cherim5717]

The first French doors are my favorite 😍

[@diannebernau3293]

That is a lot of house! I love the master bathroom and wouldn’t change a thing except to, maybe, put in a more period style vanity. The price is so cheap in comparison to houses in Australia where the asking price would buy a small one or two bedroom townhouse. This house would cost in the millions. It would a dream come true to live in a period home like this - just gorgeous even with the improvements required. 💕🥰

[@MargaretWPace]

Wow. Fabulous job! What a great home to show and you made me want it!!!!

[@leaflover3497]

The price of that house is a steal! It’s in much better shape than many of the houses you have reviewed.

[@heatherwarner865]

The ballroom was massive. Definitely needs refinished just for the heating budget alone. I would honestly make that area the living area and do the air b&b in the lower section; just to keep people from traipsing through private quarters. This is a such a beautiful example and I'm not surprised that is it already sold - and for $100k less than I expected.

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Wow, that 1st house was amazing.

[@GaryGrube1]

Kudos on your architectural knowledge. This is a magnificent home. Just judging from the video, it appears to be structurally sound. It looks like everything that it needs is basically aesthetic other than the unfinished spaces that can be whatever the new owners want to make of them!

[@lesleighc6949]

I was adding up the cost to reno in my mind...100 to 150k, not too bad actually for the size of this place! I love it so much!

[@kippen64]

Although Victorian Gothic is more my style, this house is really impressive. Edited to add that when I saw the ballroom, first thought was party room. Which is odd because I hate parties.

[@Bobrogers99]

When restoring a classic house to actually live in, compromises must be made for kitchens and bathrooms, but that kitchen just screams at everything else. Period-appropriate cabinetry and disguised appliances would be worth the investment. Making the house energy-efficient without damage would be challenging, especially with the beveled-glass windows, but it could be done. The gentleman's parlor would probably become the dining room, and the rest of the layout is workable. Using the top floor for B&B units is a clever idea, but having strangers trooping through the house is not appealing, and having a separate entrance/stairway doesn't seem feasible, and that may be a concern for a fire inspector. This place has many unspoiled original features, and someone with deep pockets could make it into a showplace for gracious living. I hope that happens.

[@triciaselman9215]

[@martinl6395]

Good video, I watched the one about the Queenanne home first, I noticed in both videos you refer to that “master“ bedrooms I thought I would mention that real estate professionals now refer to the largest bedroom with the en suite bath as the PRIMARY bedroom. no shade intended, I just thought I’d mention it.
