Thanks, that was interesting.

It would be really interesting to see a follow up if someone were to restore it.

I think the budget could easily be doubled.

I would love to see a follow up, and agree with Pal.

I'll go back and watch the rest later but he lost me at $30k to restore the outside - double +. Easily. Certainly an interesting house.

I enjoyed watching that, thank you!

I’m obsessed with old indoor shutters … swoon:

Thanks for that. I love historic homes, but having lived in them for my entire life, I also know the exhaustion of never ending projects.

When we restored our current home, our designer gave us several options on how to reconfigure the space. Most of her options included a modern approach and a historic approach. She explained that the historic usually involved keeping "wasted" space (nooks and crannies) and extraneous details. Probably self-evident for most, but it was revelatory for me and gave me a new appreciation for those old home quirks.

Interesting.... the windows over the fireplace reminded me of Mark Twain's house where he did the same thing. Guests apparently said when it snowed, it looked like the snow was melting into the fire.

Yeah, $1 mil easily....he didn't go over any of the other expensive stuff like all the mechanicals...I saw the wall A/C and have no idea how you'd even fit A/C into an older home like that. Who knows what electrical and plumbing upgrades might be necessary too, and how to insulate and heat the joint.

But certainly there is a lot to love in that home.
