The PERFECT Old New England House In Vermont

[@Becky-tp7gm]

Love that house, and the bedrooms! They are light and airy. The outside looks like a painting. I'll bet that place looks so pretty in the summer when the garden is in full swing.

[@floridaprepper751]

I was born in vermont in 1967. As a young lad, my father and i would drive through pownal in the early 70's. It was a nice place.

[@PB-qy8zy]

Love it. Quintessential New England.

[@carolynwheeler8475]

Incredible beautiful home. I am New England thru and thru and this speaks to me.

[@vees_bees]

Stunning 18th C home! Well done on homeowners. Small plot, but beautifully designed and efficient gardens. What a treasure!

[@koololdster]

Probably my favorite house so far. I love how they used elements of the past to blend with modern living. It looks so comfy and cozy, I want to move in!

[@maryjanelemon2531]

Beautiful home. Love the fireplaces, especially the one in the Dining Room. Love Old New England homes ! Thank you for sharing !

[@icouldjustscream]

The width of the floorboards in the kitchen! Wow!

[@SCCL1000]

Wonderful home. Thoughtful care and decor. Only wish it were mine.

[@juleereeves]

Gorgeous.

[@CJG1419]

Beautiful home. Love the dining room and bedrooms.

[@margiechism]

Great video!! ■ This home is wonderfully comfortable, and original in color and treasure; not a copycat!! M

[@Lucinda_Jackson]

Great home! Love the property and the way the house and gardens and outbuildings are situated. Really, really nice!

[@barbara5495]

Wow! What a beautiful home. One of my favorites thus far! Thank you for sharing!

[@Deborah-sh3mf]

I like the way you show different angles of the rooms and allow a minute for the viewer to take it in. And beautiful old homes too!

[@Rlaplante73]

Beautiful home!

Beautiful and cozy!

[@richardsanty9063]

Creative And Beautiful.

[@TheQuietLife60KAT]

What a beautiful home!

[@genietillery878]

Love these older homes.

[@sewcrazybaker]

I love ALL the houses you show! If I had to pick just one, it would be very difficult for me. The 18th century is my favorite century for houses and clothing. This house is just beautiful. Probably the only thing I would change are the quilts on the beds because I'm a quilter. I would sew quilts that fit more with the time period of the house. Thank you for sharing these houses with us!

[@dianeyoung8068]

Lovely, warm and cozy home.

[@stevenkaskus6173]

Absolutely beautiful home

[@luciaconn6788]

Love their creative improvements, fireplaces and woodstoves. The living room Indian shudders remind me of antique homes in Concord. MA.

[@Bella65]

Another fun video, thank you. Beautiful house.

[@mdeysenroth]

I came to this video from the Darien, Ct home video. I grew up in Rowayton, Ct and Darien was literally in my backyard. Moved to Bennington, Vt in 1987 which borders Pownal! I think the powers that be want me to subscribe!

[@gwenvanrensburg6830]

Wonderful...love loking at different countries ❤❤from africa😊😊

[@jenwanner4911]

Love the blue bedroom and the wood stoves in those bedrooms.

[@kennedythecosmetologist4787]

I’m dying laughing about the baskets. 😂 living in NE myself it’s so accurate!!!

[@gletamendi5439]

It looks massive from the outside. Would have thought there would be more rooms

[@Allan-e9d]

Fabulously done. Would love to hear about the history of the house. Would the town have old photos. There could be a shot or two floating around. My sister has a 1830 stone house. She had a premonition that it once had a second floor porch. She researched and found a photo with the town of her house with a porch! She added one back on. More historically accurate.

[@joannastergiou145]

I want a country home like this when I retire in a few years.

[@DominikQuesnel]

Growing up in Vermont, I see a lot of those houses that need to be restored, but my county sadly refuses to do anything . My grandfathers farm is a prime example.

[@kellyfrost1052]

Pow-nal....from a Vermonter 😊

[@carlpayne8008]

I really enjoy your videos because I’m a fan of the tv show of This Old House and I love these houses from the 1700 and 1800👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@lawriefoster5587]

Love Vermont...fantastic house. If we were 10 years younger with the funds....!!!!!

[@nancyhillard6456]

Beautiful!!!!

[@MC14772]

So beautiful

[@jameswilson1360]

Wow !! Beautiful home.....!! Just wish you said how much it was on market for......or it's assessed value.....

[@ABGardner]

A dream home.

[@HannahButler-bd7mu]

Another beautiful house Thanks so much Andrew 🙏 Xxx

[@driii9504]

Really nice house!

[@dottiebaker6623]

Great house! Thanks for posting it.

[@ginnylorenz5265]

Beautiful! Thank you!!!

[@Joycat510]

Next to the Salem house I believe this is my favorite!

[@OLCarmel]

Ooops , 1742 ??? Wow ❤ lot of care went into this place..

[@Ninnybroth]

All the old New England floors were painted! Then they'd have a painted floorcloth in the winter, often with some crazy geometrical designs (Q-Bert style), and a woven grass rug for summer.

[@kathrynwynn9816]

Beautiful

[@julieemig432]

Grew up in North Bennington. Not far from Pownal.

[@Mytriumph650pre-unit]

Beautiful home in a crazy state.

[@lorihuarota6654]

👋🏼New to your channel😁love all the beautiful homes visit thank you for sharing⛄❄

[@SD-nh5yr]

Beautiful home..would love to know the full history!

[@gerhard6105]

Nice building. As a Dutch i am used to very old building. The yellow on the window frames is okay but also on the walls is to much. About the floor color, my 1820 house has also still the original floors in that original color. All my five bedroom doors and plinths ( plinten, in Dutch) are original from the building period. Some Dutch Delfts Blauw tiles and vases would be nice in that house. I just now read a text about a 17th century Amsterdam canal house 💵💵💵💵 and restored as it was back then: the yellow ( we call this yellow Oker) was normally used in kitchens. They found the color under other paint. Only the woodwork was in that yellow.

[@angelagabhart4188]

Love it! Perfect!!!

[@kristinguelmine6565]

I've never seen a tin ceiling in a bathroom! I wonder uf that was a thing from the past ?

[@elizabetha.morgan1869]

Color is called Mustard, very common in a home of this vintage.

[@SacredCrone]

Yellow Ochre

[@jenteale]

Yes, beautiful ochre

[@s.Malagnino]

Yes! Or « Dijon mustard » like we would say in french 😉

[@stevenkaskus6173]

Wish had more storage in the kitchen

[@gerhard6105]

7:07, that is a bed box/ cupboardbed

[@MrMilwaukee]

Video posted one day ago. House is already sold! Darn it

[@Dandelion49]

Have most of these old houses which have been remodeled include insulation? I know there wasn't insulation when it was built and was just wondering. Thx

[@oldNEhouses4947]

I would assume insulation was installed at some point.

[@MsMarple]

Not a big fan of living room. Lively in many ways but either eliminate a red red, or accent the room with red to coordinate. Otherwise a cacophony of colors, which is something many ppl do now that is unpleasant to the eye. I will never understand lack of symphony in color, shade and hue. Dining room is nice except for ceiling - minor fix. It also depends on what you’re going for: keeping it close to 18th Century look, or preserving rustic charm while upgrading look and feel. I prefer latter. Kitchen is attractive and a nice compromise, which I recommend for every room. Funny how their love for antique integrity got lost in the kitchen and baths. Master bedroom gorgeous and unique, with 2nd and 3rd bedrooms lovely as well. I’m in love with the acreage and appointment.

[@rebeccaharp3254]

Hi, I think that yellow might be called mustard. I like it. And, the outside of the house couldn't be prettier. I like WOOD and windows!!! I wonder if originally there was much more property with the house and it was sold off. I don't mind that but DON'T CUT DOWN THE TREES UNLESS THEY CAN'T BE DOCTORED TO MAKE THEM SAFE. thanks so much.

[@lorikoch8010]

How wide would the floor boards be in this home?

[@ChrisSmith-gx4bz]

This is my favorite so fat! I'd move in tomorrow! 💘

[@ChrisSmith-gx4bz]

*far... LOL

[@suzannecarrier287]

I'm so curious to know the history of this house. I live in the same county. Vermont didn't become a state until 1791 so for those 50 years it was a time of Indian and European invasions and battles. Does anybody know? Can we get the story from the owners??

[@philhoward4466]

i love everything in this house. is it for sale? i would not have the money for it. if i did and bought it i would not be able to decide which bedroom would be mine. i'd have to let family decide.

[@judithrace1557]

Awesome....I can't afford it!!!!!

[@mirandakoggan3914]

They use to insulate the walls with paper and straw!

[@innershifttv]

Was this Tasha Tudor’s hose?

[@Sheepdog1314]

I own a very old house. One drawback is the hollow walls. If you ever have mice or a rat, it is almost impossible to repair the chewing damage inside the walls. And you will have rodents in these cold New England winters. The cats can't be everywhere.

[@gerhard6105]

Cool. I also have an old house. The village historican ( who writes an article about my house for in the village glossy) told me my house is from about 1820. This because it is on a military map from 1823. Full stone 20" thick walls but indeed sometimes a mouse in my house. Last week he was 10cm from my elbow....I plugged the hole. In the summer it is never not in here. Ver constant temperature. In a wall I demolished.....I found bricks from 1860-1870 )( the makers name is stamped in it) and positioned the 200 year old door and it's frame on its new spot today. I will also reuse the plinths. And I use clay to remodel the walls. It was plastered with clay but mixed with chalk and that is why I can't reuse that. clay. The slates on the front side are about 90 y/o and the enormous slates on the back/south side are even older. I also found electrical wiring ( worked fine untill now) from 1940. I went o an electrician to ask from what years the wires are. Wires in blue and red cloth. Not allowed to reuse that. I can use it for my electrical train. I think one of my window sills is actually an old stone sink. My neighbor also has it and restored it. Looks very nice. It is at a front side window. I think about it to make it visible again and put a nice (for the show) brass tap( we Dutch call it a kraan (crane)). I like the old houses.

[@Ionabrodie69]

These houses aren’t old…try living in 14th century house..😂🇬🇧

[@debrap947]

Beautiful...thanks for sharing. Sad that this is such an unattainable dream these days.

[@michaelJ415]

👍🏻

[@GibbyFam84]

My wife and I decided to look this house up on Zillow. Unfortunately, the new owners robbed the house of most of its character in the bedrooms. The green room has been redone and "updated." I'll never understand why people buy historic homes and rob the historic look from them. Just buy a newer house!

[@michaelgillespie502]

if it's not run as a museum why would the owners necessarily want period furnishings that 'go' with the house as opposed to living comfortably in the 21st century?

[@squarenailrustics159]

"Paw-nell"

[@FVB610]

Is this house for sale?

[@oldNEhouses4947]

It is not for sale.

[@oldNEhouses4947]

It is not for sale.

[@delinayoungs3988]

Would NEVER live in any of those northern states! Hope the crazy stay up there tho !

[@RosinaDespres]

Doesn’t surprise me the negativity coming from somebody who’s down south. We hope you crazy Southerners stay down there too.

[@OLCarmel]

Soooo that house is build in 1798 ???😮👀😳🤔?? It just got a really tight face lift.wow GRT stuff. Soooo are there any ghosts 👻???

[@NYLADY13601]

Definitely don’t like that yellow ochre in the living room! I would go with a softer New England blue, like a wedge wood blue. Similar to the blue in the third bedroom, which is my favorite bedroom. The bench seat is perfect to curl up on with a good book, a cozy blanket, a cat or two sleeping at your feet, and a cup of hot chocolate. In the first bathroom, an old claw foot bathtub to soak in. Neighbors are too close but it’s a wonderful old home. ♥️♥️♥️

[@christopherpuleo5650]

I wished toothpaste late 17 century and it has bathrooms!

[@frankmonroe8320]

Why do you believe that stairway in the kitchen, I believe, would not be original design?

[@SnepperStepTV]

How do y'all get your small new england towns to save these buildings instead of ruining/tearing them down to pose in the 21st century? Mine is being stupid and i desperately want it to stop modernizing and even put a few Very Our Town buildings back up some moron demolished. We even have a local Historical Architect who would build them exactly as they were for the historical society. And i'm personally VERY miffed that the yellow main street house with the cowboy porch WENT GRAY! Blasphemy.....

[@SnepperStepTV]

This one has been ruined though so nevermind! You can have a 1970s kitchen and its more likely to have been themed to the house than the abysmal generic garbage they've been polluting old buildings with in the 2010s. I can't believe people still think this is anything like an old building, we need to be doing better to actually preserve the history and not let it be consumed by modern garbage

[@richardthenryvideos]

It's pronounced Pow-null

[@lynnmanning2795]

The colors are typical of homes here in New England. Your comments are out of touch with what is right for this period of time. Do your research. My dad built a n old house. So I lived with what is proper for old homes..
