Most beautiful Victorian House, I cant even imagine living in one but always wanted too. Great job restoring it.

[@dianneys4887]

A fairytale dream of a house! It's an absolute work of art.

Some mention of the restoration firm who restored it would have been nice.. They did a wonderful job.

[@sallymorris5633]

They should be named. They need to be exposed as frauds.

For the amount of taxes they are getting for that house, you would think that they could fix the damn street right outside it.

I was thinking that the price of the house was so huge but the street is so bad.

[@TheKid12363]

Here in new orleans all the streets are like that, the city is built on what was once a swamp. So the streets are constantly caving in, the city will fix the bad holes once a year but within a few months they're back to their bad state.

[@annhans3535]

@@TheKid12363 Here in NYC we have the same pattern. 🤣 City fills them up once a year and then it's back to crap again. Then, we have the utililities companies dig up the road to fix stuff and leave it in bad condition. With holds line up and drains in the road. Bad situation.

I never quite understand why I get so emotional when I see beautiful home like this one. These homes feel so substantial and grounded. Perhaps it’s because it hits all the right notes. It looks right and feels right.

Yeah right! They were drafty and expensive to own! And the craftsmanship for most part is gone! These were a rich man's home! I once worked as a locksmith! I got a call to fix the locks on the front door of an old home! God the front would defy a battering ram! All that was wrong was some screws were loose and the front door lock needed some oil! The house looked like the nineteen twenties! The pool was the newest thing in the house. And the people liked living in this old house! It was old and dark! Everyone to their own!

The atmosphere of this house is conveyed so well in this video. This is the perfect house. Better than any $20,000,000 mansion. The Garden District reminds me of Holland Park in London. Imagine lying by that pool in Spring and looking up at that beautiful tree in the garden.

I love how the fluted Corinthian columns of the front porch are repeated at the door and then on the fireplace and in the bar. Sometimes Victoriana historic references can be too eclectic and overpowering, but here all the historic elements are in keeping with each other. This is a precious piece of history yet makes for a fully functional and surprisingly cosy modern family home.

Personally, I love an older home, but don't want to live in a museum or grandma's house. That style of decor just wouldn't be me. Have to laugh at the price difference. Here in small-town Indiana, I paid about 2.5 million less for roughly the same amount of space on a corner lot. Happy New Year!

Beautiful house. I love all of the staine glass and the master suite

[@naomibedek1701]

Love how they opened up the 3rd floor to bring in more height and light into the 2nd floor family room. They didn't state whether the fireplaces are usable or merely decorative. I would like to see the basement as well - wondering what the ceiling height would be down there and whether the floor is poured/solid or compacted earth (given the age of the home). Would have been nice to have more grass and garden area in the side/back yard vs all the hard surfacing, especially if one has young children. Legally, I think the pool should have a safety fence of sorts surrounding it. I do love all the different porches and balconies. Not sure if the 2nd floor wrap-around verandah is built to handle a lot of people/weight. The 3 separate HVAC systems for each floor must have cost a fortune. Love the original stained glass. The closet space is amazing. The only thing that seems to be missing is an entryway coat closet. Also, there's no garage or outdoor storage for lawn/garden/pool items. Overall, a beautiful home that shows very well.

[@BriarRose74]

Wow. This house is amazing and the way he describes it has me sold! Lol or would if I could afford it lol

[@beckyevepete]

It's beautiful. That said, I have a difficult time with "restorations" that paint all the woodwork white! The homes from this era had beautiful woodwork. I realize painting everything white has been popular for a while. In Queen Anne, Victorian, Renaissance Revival homes they generally had rich colors and woods, such as mahogany that make things like turnings, carving, all the exceptional craftsmanship stand out. Gives it character!! Personally I'd like to see it more as it was originally.

[@Shrinksjp]

I agree. Better furnishings. more color, and at least some more authentic woodwork to fit the period of the home. At least this home is attractive. There are some Victorians that when you step inside everything is stark modern and completely fights the architecture of the home. If you want a modern home, why would you buy a Victorian. The most famous Victorian Painted Ladies in SF on the famous Postcard Row was bought and completely modernized inside with all Home Depot materials! I don't understand that.

[@Jeanette3]

My thoughts exactly! The white just totally washes out the beautiful dark woods that were probably originally there. Takes away from the beautiful woodwork that would’ve been there.

[@franciscodanconia4324]

Having helped my parents salvage, strip and restain probably half a mile of old woodwork and 2000 sq ft of oak flooring for the house they were building in the 80s, I can attest that it's a ton of labor. If this house didn't originally have painted trim (some did) I'd guess this restoration was done by someone more interested in the potential sales profit than a sympathetic restoration.
