[@shelleybleu4903]

I agree, but I would add more bathrooms in better locations.

[@southernlady8809]

I agree. So many gorgeous older homes, mansions & cottages alike, are being destroyed by painting or tearing down irreplaceable woodwork. The newer generations seem to all want gray & white only. Really wish they wouldn't buy these homes & just build modern cookie cutter houses instead with one huge living area with white & gray bland interiors. My favorite era was the Arts & Crafts (1920s-1930s) period; losing the handcrafted wood detailed work by master craftsmen is a major loss of history. Done the right way, kitchens & bathrooms can be updated while still retaining the character and dignity of the original house.

[@Stopthismadnessnow-t4l]

@@southernlady8809 I share your sadness toward our lost history. I often shake my head upon seeing such cheap materials and corners cut in construction. You probably know this, but I’d like to say that often all is not lost. Usually the best materials and artifacts are stripped, sold and enjoyed again by other homeowners. Though not the same as restoring entire homes, many people are able to enjoy whatever has been salvaged.

[@tastx3142]

Love the house! It reminds me of my great-grandparents house in a small town from the early 1900’s. They still had the original leaded glass windows, claw foot tubs, curved mahogany staircase and crystal doorknobs with skeleton keys. All the furniture was from 1920 and before. They had an orchard and a carriage house. I still have fond memories of my time spent there on vacations as a child and teenager in the 60’s and 70’s. It gave me appreciation for real wood and the importance of caring for things. I hope that the new owners don’t paint over everything.

Definitely a beautiful house with great features waiting to be lovingly restored. The kitchen is large, take out the laundry and move it to the cold storage room, turn the barn into a gorgeous modern rustic great room barn style. Once the house is fully updated structurally, septics, electric, foundation, plumbing, lead and asbestos removal, heating and cooling, rotted wood and features replaced, roofing, insulation, windows repaired, I can see it being delightful. Need to add several modern full and half baths there. Expect to drop at least $300k there and rip down to the studs.

We suggest you build a new home instead.

When she says "This house has everything." I was wondering from the beginning if the house is possibly haunted..... Do the Kelley's still inhabit the house? It's a beautiful house and if I had that kind of money, I would love to live in a place like this.

[@lifestyleproperties]

No hauntings to our knowledge.

[@susanhenry6834]

I thought the same thing!

[@homebodyheaven6114]

I owned a 1904 home that had a ghost. I simply demsnded it leave in the name of Jesus Christ and invited the Holy Spirit in. No problem.

It will need a lot of updating and some major renovation projects done too. But the natural beauty that is hidden could be easily brought back to its original grandeur! A pearl that is just waiting to be extracted!

Beautiful, amazing what location will do for a price, that house in the Hudson Valley would be a Minimum of $300K to almost 1M depending on town and view.

[@lifestyleproperties]

Very true. Thanks for watching.

I lived in the Hudson Valley and you're right about the pricing. There are many Victorian homes still there. .

😮 ❤ Too big for me, but that sure is so sweet. Heck of a deal. If I were younger, I'd love to put the time and effort into that house. I miss those doorbells. I grew up around lots of Queen Anne homes. Thank you for sharing this one, it was like going down memory lane. ❤

For a beautiful house like that at that price it's probably Haunted.

What a great house. Agreed paneling (and carpet) must go. The upstairs wallpaper is loud but AWESOME... us it depicting Mt. Vernon? Hard to tell... This realty company does the best videos... Any old-fashioned general stores for sale?

[@lifestyleproperties]

Thanks for comments. We are not sure on the wall paper in the hall. No old stores for sale at the moment.

[@richardschneider4775]

Incredible showing. I am enchanted. It is in my purchase budget but the restoratives costs could be dramatic. Where is the nearest major medical center pharmacy ? I am retired and those are key questions for me & library ?

The nearest hospital is in Houlton 27 miles +/-. Northern Light hospital in Bangor is about 92 miles.

How beautiful is that? Is the price reflecting the furnace issue? Do they know the cost to repair? I love this property !!

The price reflects the condition. No estimate for heating repair has been done.
