Julian Price mansion makeover: Before and after

Julian Price mansion makeover: See the amazing transformation of this historic Greensboro home that was once featured on A&E's Hoarders | bit.ly/35WOAbZ
For years, the historic Julian Price House in Fisher Park was a mystery - hidden behind overgrowth and weeds. Some neighbors who passed by didn't even know a home was there at all.
The house, named 'Hillside,' was built for Julian Price back in 1929. Price was the head of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance at the time, what is now Lincoln Financial.
Fast-forward several decades. The owner was an interior designer, but over many years, piles and piles of stuff grew inside the enormous home, while trees and weeds overtook the yard. The home even ended up on the A&E show Hoarders.
Michael and Eric Fuko-Rizzo are the new owners of the Julian Price home, and they've restored it to its former glory.

[@majicraven]

Here because I just watched the Hoarders episode with this house. These two guys were amazingly nice to the former owner Sandra, who suffered from horrible mental illness and hoarding. Sad that the young man from the episode, Luther, was killed in a car accident. Kudos to Michael and Eric. Glad to see they have restored the house.

[@OurLargeFamilyLife]

Rita Corpier same. My heart broke for these 2 men who were heart broken for her.

[@nursev1003]

Rita Corpier Omg!! So sad to hear about Luther!! He seemed like such a nice person...the way he kept trying to talk to Sandra. She was so mean & he remained calm & respectful despite her.

[@sprokopc]

Omg Luther died?! He was such a nice man! His poor family! His mother and father must be heartbroken, they raised such a caring and lovely son. What a shame.

[@Unownshipper]

To flip the house would be one thing. To restore it is a rarer occurrence. To restore the home and treat the former owner with such kindness, concern, and compassion... it's astounding. You don't hear about stories like this. This wasn't just a financial investment, this was almost like a healing act. Much respect to these guys.

[@exdus235]

👍👍👍

[@tabaxikhajit4541]

So true. This story is even healing to watch. I had the joy of owning and residing in a magical historic home. A house can have a life of its own, created by generations of love and life that existed within it. It's comforting to see a house like this being loved back.

[@antwainclarke3406]

You couldn't wish for a better outcome. They invited the family back to the home as well to see the work they've done and elevated the property so it can benefit the whole neighbourhood. Incredible!

[@saltwater6489]

Impacting the other neighbors? Would they rather have Sandra back?

[@jaywholoveseveryone1721]

I think they meant impacting by heavy traffic, loud parties and people everywhere. Sandra was a hoarder, yes, unfortunately, she had none of the aforementioned.

[@lisaryherd4685]

Seth Downham Yes, that’s what you call “impactful”!!

[@shanetanner8315]

or maybe the impact is from tax increase. I'm no expert, but the worth of that mansion skyrocketed. Likely making the area more desirable and valuable, now the neighborhood might be seeing an increase in taxes.

[@DarcieGlam]

Michael and Eric did a beautiful job with the house. They were so sweet to Sandra. Sad to find out about Luther, he was such a good guy.

[@harmdizzle1979]

What happened to Luther?? I loved him!!! "Cmon, miss Sandra... Just let us help you". That kid was great!!

[@KrissyMeow]

@@harmdizzle1979 He passed away in motor vehicle accident back in 2017. It made me really sad to hear. You could tell he had a real good heart. I'm sure his family was happy, at the very least, that the world got to see that, even if it was just in a small way.

@@edennis8578 The Hoarders show had about 7 trucks come and clear out that mess.

[@obsessiveNarutogirl]

The show says 3 days. They brought multiple trucks for trash and also had auctioneers coming in to grab the good/sellable items. The hoarder herself had friends come to take a truck full of junk to save. However, I do wonder if it was only 3 days. This is television so they may say 3 days for dramatic reasons but took longer.

I was married in a mansion 26 years ago but could not stay. What a dream it would be as a new bride to have had my wedding there, then been able to spend the beginning of our honeymoon in such a beautiful, nostalgic, peaceful place. So many of these types of homes have been left to rot and be razed. Kudos to the owners for their passion and purpose with restoring it and having a heart to give back to the former owner and the community!

[@kimberlyenglehardt5770]

You guys were SOOO wonderful with her! What a stunning result! You DID IT!! My heart aches for all that was lost. Had she been able to do it over a few years so much could have been saved.

I am so glad they are able to support their family with this project. I can't imagine the heartbreak they felt while forcing her away, but it seemed like they did everything in their power to help her. What great people and I can only hope there are more like them in the world.

[@yesiownfrodo]

She was not a bitch, she was an elderly person who found themselves homeless and someone else benefitting from that. Why didn't her brothers help her get an apartment? She had a MANSION and was left homeless. I think all of us would act a little cray cray if that happened to us.

[@saries2883]

@@yesiownfrodo thank you for making me revist this story. seriously I loved this episode of hoarders. I got too invested 😂 i think "bitch" was harsh and I completely agree that her brothers should have helped her. But I think her mental illness burned a lot of bridges for her which sucks, but I do remember these guys being nothing but nice and understanding (as much as they could be) to her. This is a beautiful home that needed to be saved. I hope that she finally reached out to get the resouces to help her.
