This home brings tears to my eyes it is just so gorgeous. Why can't we have nice things like this anymore instead of all the cookie cutter nonsense they sell us now? We couldn't even build a house like this today. Thanks and please never stop showing us these masterpieces.
Because this house was for the top 0.001% of people then, the modern cookie cutter house youre comparing it to is for the average person, a class of people that wouldn't have existed back then.
All the beautiful wood, stained glass, etc. etc. These kind of homes are pieces of artwork. I guess the reason we all marvel at these so much is that they just don't make them like this anymore!
They can’t afford to make a house like this now U would have to be a billionaire to be able to afford the woodwork alone The wood is not plywood it’s all solid
you cant make houses like that today even if you have the money and resources. Everything has to be built to be somewhat energy effifcient now( which is a good thing) but it does effect the style of modern houses. Also way less land is available now compared to when these homes were built
I love that people renovate these houses so that many people can enjoy their beauty. However, some small part of me is always sad to see a house not have a family living in it, like it did years ago.
OMG!! I was absolutely salivating & drooling within the first five minutes alone! Just WOW WOW WOW. The couple who restored this gorgeous masterpiece ✨️ should receive an award for their commitment 👏. It's going to take a month to get my jaw back up off the floor!
Yes, this is probably my favorite Victorian I have ever seen before. I worked in an untouched Victorian, but this tops the one I worked in. So stunning!!
This home is fabulous and the fact that it was taken apart, moved 100's of miles, and put back together better than before is a testament to the vision the owners had. Every room is better or as fabulous as the last and I wouldn't change a thing. However, I did think all the big screen TV's didn't fit and would have liked to have seen the type that can be framed and then looks like another piece of art! That would have made each suite, wonderful as they are, just perfection!
This home is absolutely exquisite! So very happy that someone saved it and kept the original components! It is hard to even think of living in such a place! I love all of the gorgeous carved wood obviously done by a true artisan. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I've been going to Eureka Springs for decades. :) It is one of the most lovely towns I've ever seen - the architecture is stunning, the hills are gorgeous - it's just an amazing place. There are several wonderful hotels, B&Bs, and guest houses, and countless interesting shops and restaurants. I can't recommend a place more highly. If you go for a visit; avoid Summer, as the crowds can get pretty heavy, and October, as there is a big 'fest', and it's hard to get a room. But, any other time in the Fall, Winter, or Spring, are the best times to visit, and avoid the crowds. I hope you get the chance to go there. :)
Bless the people who bought and restored this gorgeous diamond! In 2006 they must gave seen the 'diamond in the rough' and knew the perfect "jewelers" to design and shape this into the jewel we now see. As I write this, the 2nd home hasn't been shown but I'm sure is just as awesome. Lucky the person or corporation that purchases this complex and keeps it running as long and as beautiful as possible.
How absolutely beautiful. I’m speechless. Having a home like that Queen Ann Victorian mansion would be a dream come true. I can picture how the original owners lived, with the fashion of the time, the culture, gosh I just love it. Thank you for presenting these beauties Laine 😊
I lived in my own Queen Anne so I feel qualified to write something here. My house was built in 1899, with the offset tower, and a rusticated limestone block front and brick sides and back. It was over 5300 Sq feet, 7 bedrooms and 4 baths, with 3 fireplaces, 2 staircases plus a 13 foot tall, 5 foot wide, double hung, stained glass and jeweled window in the main staircase, with a similar but much smaller one in the closet under the stairs. This window was also double hung, for ventilation. And my 3rd floor had a 'ballroom'. At 33 feet long it still had its original 'air conditioning'! Which consisted of these oblong openings in a knee wall, that you would put large blocks of ice in and then run fans to blow air across the ice, cooling the room for those hot, summer time parties! And, the dining room still had the buzzer in the floor so you could call to have the next dish brought in by pressing the buzzer with your foot! Well, the lady of the house could, anyway! And there were 2 pantries, a kitchen pantry and a butler's pantry! (Both really usefull and very handy! Why did they ever take them out of houses!!!?) Well, you get the picture! I also lived there alone! What a luxury to have enough space I spent the most money on replacing most of the windows with Marvin, laminated, duel pane with argon gas replacements. But a took a few sets of side by side windows out and replaced them with tilt-turns with are easy to open by swinging the window in like a door--- for easy cleaning! Getting a ladder out to clean windows on the 3rd floor was just not practical. And clean windows are really a great luxury! And one most people didn't see but could sense somehow. But they couldn't really explain it but they knew something was going on! Cleaning the windows every 2 weeks makes a huge difference to how your house feels and looks! And in the winter time I only did it once or twice! But to have windows that swung in was sooo handy! And cleaning was sooo easy to do!!! I also had the house completely rewired with 220 Amp service. The refrigerator had its own circuit so the lights didn't dim a bit when it cycled on! Plus I had a few transom windows electrified as they were to high to open manually. So with a push of a button they would open or close. There was a rain sensor, so in case of rain they closed automatically. And a screen sensor, in case the screen came off they would close! I sometimes wondered if I would come home and find someone dangling from the side of the house with their hand or arm inside my dining room waving about wildly! Unlike a garage door these windows didn't reopen if it met an obstruction! Like arms, hands or fingers! Or even heads! If you catch my drift!!! And I had all of the plumbing replaced everywhere possible and practical to get to, with ball valves installed. But all of the large horizontal pipes were replaced with a better/thicked grade of copper piping. So that's that, more or less. It was a great house. But after a few years I swore it talked to me! It had a personality and it would speak to me. It made a few noises in really high winds or if it was -10° or less, some of rafters in the attic would 'pop', or make a popping sound. So I could lay in bed, reading, and from the occasional 'pops' I knew the approx temp outside. Fantastic you could get a brief weather report while still in bed just by listening to the house talk to me! ----- When I went to sell the house there were 2 couple interested in it who were polar opposites. The first couple loved the house and its many features! But they wanted to grind the floors down to new wood and makes them all shiny, like 'NEW'! Why would you buy a 110 year old house and want to make it look brand new on the inside? Much of what they were responding to was the patina that was layed down over those 110 years! It was part of what made the house so special. There is no other house like that one. It was 98% intact from the day it was finished! Some of the plaster walls had some cracks and that was something else that they wanted fixed! I lived there 20 years and the cracks never bothered me! Ultimately they didn't want to buy house, they were young didn't have any kids so finances were an issue to consider going forward. But why buy 7 bedrooms if you aren't going to fill a few of them with something! The next couple were the exact opposites! I had put a very small 'for sale' sign in a front window to see who might show up. And like the first couple I made a showing appointment with these folks that was 6 hours long! 'Come in, sit down, let's talk, relax, have a drink of tea or whatever, get a feel of the house! The guy was from Germany, the wife was American. He loved, loved, loved the house and everything about it. I said something that maybe they might want to refinish the floors! Oh, no, absolutely not! He loved, appreciated and wanted the age of the house to be seen. He didn't want something 'new'. His father was a carpenter in Germany and this guy had a real appreciation for what was in front of him! Ultimately the house was too expensive for them! But I wish they had bought it! I knew it would be in good hands! A third guy came as a drop in, and within 6 or 7 minutes he was figuring out how he could make the kitchen bigger by taking out the back staircase, moving a wall, and putting a powder room in at the bottom of the front staircase, etc YIKES!!! He was going to boulderize the house, COMPLETELY! He wanted to have the staircase in the center of the 1st floor going up to the attic, on 4, and down to the basement! 'Gee, what an interesting idea'------- For a house other than this one, i thought! Luckily he didnt come back! Like why would anyone think that was a good idea? I ended up selling the house to 'friends' who never moved in as they talked about. They only wanted to flip it! So they lied about the whole thing! So they are my 'former' 'friends'. UGH! UGH! UGH! ---------------- ITS DINNER TIME AND I WILL GIVE MY THOUGHTS ON THE VIDEO HOUSE LATER TONIGHT! ITS PROBABLY EVIDENT WHAT I WILL SAY!
This home has been done with such perfection that walking into it with modern street clothes seems like it would be an insult to it. Just breathtakingly beautiful. I wish we could have seen the servants quarters.
Laine. Come on! Does it get any better than this?? OMG the goosebumps! The aerial views of the mansion and grounds give such a wonderful anticipation of what is to come! Wow doesn't begin to cut it! The suite names are wonderful, and my love of old carved wood, staircases, chandeliers and stained glass will never be more satisfied than this. The Wright mansion is definitely my #1 all time favorite Victorian home. Your touring style and camera work are hands down THE best I have ever seen, and is why I always love your tours so much! There truly are no words that honestly describe the beauty of this home. I agree with a fellow commentor, my jaw is still on the floor!
Absolutely, undeniably AND CATEGORICALLY BREATH TAKING!!! And even better than that........the first house is IMPECCABLY AND PERIOD CORRECTLY DECORATED, FURNISHED AND ACCESSORIZED from roof to basement which is beyond astounding!!!
I love how in every room they used it as an excuse to buy the most stunning parlor sets. Which i would do the same, I can believe the quality of the furniture in that house, alot of it seems to date to the 1860s-1880s which is my favorite period for furniture ! I cant believe theyre selling it all with the house!
I've seen that house many many times. There are gorgeous homes just like it all over Eureka Springs. Carthage MO, where the house came from, has some really stunning homes too. First thing id do with it is head to the paint store. Those white walls would have to go!!! There's actually a village close to Carthage called Red Oak II that is a reconstructed town with nothing but old buildings that were moved there and recreates a town that is literally frozen in time. You can't drive through it. You have to park and walk. It's amazing
Chapeau! This has been done beautifully and the prize tag is well deserved for the exquisite job they did renovating and furnishing it with the best of the best. Wish I had $7 mio…. This would make a beautiful workplace…
Reading about this house being moved from Carthage Missouri to Eureka Springs in Victorian Homes magazine about 35 years ago, inspired me to take a partially disassembled Victorian in Texas and rebuild it in California. If I remember correctly they cut this house into large sections and moved it on flatbed trucks.
Lovely homes. I love the 3rd floor the best. Especially the room with the tower room! I appreciate your presentation. More viewing with informational talking only!
Absolutely amazing how they moved the home and meticulously placed it back onto another piece of land. Beautiful craftsmanship... Beautifully restored....
I love watching the videos of your channel. Thanks for explaining the difference between towers and turrets. I never forgot that since you first mentioned in another video posted in the past. This is probably one of my favorite properties of all time. Can you imagine? Get two Victorian homes at the same time! That would be truly amazing 🤩 Thanks again 👍
My only complaint is that I have to watch this one twice! Once to read since my hubs is putting in Rev-a-shelf so I have better storage and accessibility as I get closer to 70 years old and the second time to look for help in my changes with family antiques! I love your tours and I miss my 40s!
@@OurRestorationNation you don’t have bad back problems I hope?! I was hit by an ambulance in 2012. We have a concrete floor. I wish our floor was cork!
Dying here❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. 🙏. Thanks to those who saved it! The only thing that makes me just a wee bit nervous is those fantastic pieces of furniture next to the bath 🛁s. But that just me….
WOW!!!!! It is hard to put in words for the Beauty of all of this. Thank You! We would never know of these places if not for you. God Bless you and your family. Hope you have a good 4th of July!
Every room is stunning and exquisite. I can't imagine the work it took to complete each room and bath. To look for the exact bed, lamp, hanging lights, etc. Not to mention bedding and window dressings. I've not seen such perfection in a house, before. Wish I had 8 million dollars.
Thank you so much for the tour everything was so beautiful how relaxing I would love to live in a place like that but looking at it on your show is the next best thing thank you so much I truly enjoyed I will be looking at more
I am literally blown away! This home is so inspiring and I pray that the new care taker will do just justice for this home and keep its legacy. I currently reside in a Queen Anne and feel so inspired to tackle on more restoration projects here 😂.Maybe 🤔 in a few years I would be considering taking charge with something so magnificent and magical like this one of a kind property. Thank you Restoration Nation for sharing this video. I have to agree that this is probably one of the best video I have seen in your channel.
This property is incredible! Utterly amazing! So wonderful that the last owners took such magnificent care of both houses and the property as a whole. I hope the next caretaker/owners will show it just as much love and respect. Thank you for sharing this with us!
They were remarkably clever to provide ensuite baths that look like they were always there, and the downstairs rooms are also so consistent with the period. I can only imagine spending a night here!
That house is jaw-droppingly beautiful. What an absolute treasure. I have to stop watching these videos though... makes me want to buy an old house, but I've got one already ;)
I love these homes and have had the privilege of touring them many years ago before the restoration. I remember some things differently than they are now but it is truly more beautiful than it was! Would love a new tour! But not to be sadly. My husband and I love ES and go as often as we can. We spent our honeymoon there in a cabin outside of town and have loved the place ever since. Wish I had the money to buy and restore one of the homes there. Heaven!! Thank you for the tour Laine and thank Kevin for being a great cameraman!!!
Thank you for this tour in this unbelievable home AND for using SUCH WONDERFUL BACKGROUND MUSIC! That means the world to me- I know that seems like such a little thing but it’s huge!
Stunning!! I have never seen a Queen Anne as exquisite as that. What an incredible restoration. The furniture was also incredible. Thanks so much for sharing such a fabulous house with us.
Incredible! Although for some reason, the spa idea made me a little sad for the second home. It just looks like a home for a family but the properties are breathtaking. What a treasure. Thanks for the tour. Great job.
This home brings tears to my eyes it is just so gorgeous. Why can't we have nice things like this anymore instead of all the cookie cutter nonsense they sell us now? We couldn't even build a house like this today. Thanks and please never stop showing us these masterpieces.
I felt the same way. They don’t make them like they used to
Because of capitalism and mass exploitation.
@@PatrickDKingin what way imaginable does that make any sense? People today are so incredibly ignorant...
Because this house was for the top 0.001% of people then, the modern cookie cutter house youre comparing it to is for the average person, a class of people that wouldn't have existed back then.
Because of the rise of big box corporate developers. Also, the cookie cutter suburbs are what most homebuyers can afford.
All the beautiful wood, stained glass, etc. etc. These kind of homes are pieces of artwork. I guess the reason we all marvel at these so much is that they just don't make them like this anymore!
Absolutely Beautiful!
They can’t afford to make a house like this now
U would have to be a billionaire to be able to afford the woodwork alone
The wood is not plywood it’s all solid
you cant make houses like that today even if you have the money and resources. Everything has to be built to be somewhat energy effifcient now( which is a good thing) but it does effect the style of modern houses. Also way less land is available now compared to when these homes were built
I'm so gobsmacked that I can't get my jaw off the floor! OMG, OMG!! If I won the lottery today, I would buy this property in it's entirety.
Me too!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't move so far, but I would surely visit to inspire myself and build myself one 😅
I love that people renovate these houses so that many people can enjoy their beauty. However, some small part of me is always sad to see a house not have a family living in it, like it did years ago.
Yes yes yes
I'm also sad because they just look brand new and certainly not like their former selves.
Nobody can afford it or the maintenance 😢
If you all start a gofundme for me, I will buy it and promise to actually live in it. 🙂
OMG!! I was absolutely salivating & drooling within the first five minutes alone! Just WOW WOW WOW.
The couple who restored this gorgeous masterpiece ✨️ should receive an award for their commitment 👏.
It's going to take a month to get my jaw back up off the floor!
Me, too! Astonishing and amazing. Just many more WOWs.
Yes, this is probably my favorite Victorian I have ever seen before. I worked in an untouched Victorian, but this tops the one I worked in. So stunning!!
I know, right??!! Every bed is exquisite and different. How did they do this and how long did it take them?
As an antique collector- MY WORD! That’s an incredible grouping of antiques- I’m drooling 🤤
Same!
This home is fabulous and the fact that it was taken apart, moved 100's of miles, and put back together better than before is a testament to the vision the owners had. Every room is better or as fabulous as the last and I wouldn't change a thing. However, I did think all the big screen TV's didn't fit and would have liked to have seen the type that can be framed and then looks like another piece of art! That would have made each suite, wonderful as they are, just perfection!
Beautiful. I try to imagine living in either of them when they were first built, a whole different way of life. Thanks for sharing.
Restoration taken to a whole new level. Beautiful!
This house is my romantic folly!!! I've been to Eureka Springs and just loved it! I wish I was the lady of that house!!!
I do like the care you took in not zooming through the rooms, thank you. It’s incredibly beautiful.
This home is absolutely exquisite! So very happy that someone saved it and kept the original components! It is hard to even think of living in such a place! I love all of the gorgeous carved wood obviously done by a true artisan. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Oh ! Dormir quelques nuits dans la suite Walt Whitman et visiter toutes ces belles d’antan de l’Arkansas. 💝Le rêve!
What an absolutely stunning place! I would love to stay there! Goodness, it’s exquisite. Thanks for showing this beauty. ☺️
What’s the name of your cutie in your picture
I've been going to Eureka Springs for decades. :) It is one of the most lovely towns I've ever seen - the architecture is stunning, the hills are gorgeous - it's just an amazing place. There are several wonderful hotels, B&Bs, and guest houses, and countless interesting shops and restaurants. I can't recommend a place more highly. If you go for a visit; avoid Summer, as the crowds can get pretty heavy, and October, as there is a big 'fest', and it's hard to get a room.

Bless the people who bought and restored this gorgeous diamond! In 2006 they must gave seen the 'diamond in the rough' and knew the perfect "jewelers" to design and shape this into the jewel we now see. As I write this, the 2nd home hasn't been shown but I'm sure is just as awesome. Lucky the person or corporation that purchases this complex and keeps it running as long and as beautiful as possible.
How absolutely beautiful. I’m speechless. Having a home like that Queen Ann Victorian mansion would be a dream come true. I can picture how the original owners lived, with the fashion of the time, the culture, gosh I just love it. Thank you for presenting these beauties Laine 😊
Dismantled and moved!! Amazing!!
Fabulous. Both homes are spectacular and so are the furnishings. Beautiful.
Exquisite! I learn something new every time I watch this channel. And a bargain at only 7 Million!
Great video! Very detailed and teaches so much history while showing what the house looks like now ❤
I lived in my own Queen Anne so I feel qualified to write something here.
My house was built in 1899, with the offset tower, and a rusticated limestone block front and brick sides and back. It was over 5300 Sq feet, 7 bedrooms and 4 baths, with 3 fireplaces, 2 staircases plus a 13 foot tall, 5 foot wide, double hung, stained glass and jeweled window in the main staircase, with a similar but much smaller one in the closet under the stairs. This window was also double hung, for ventilation. And my 3rd floor had a 'ballroom'. At 33 feet long it still had its original 'air conditioning'! Which consisted of these oblong openings in a knee wall, that you would put large blocks of ice in and then run fans to blow air across the ice, cooling the room for those hot, summer time parties! And, the dining room still had the buzzer in the floor so you could call to have the next dish brought in by pressing the buzzer with your foot! Well, the lady of the house could, anyway! And there were 2 pantries, a kitchen pantry and a butler's pantry! (Both really usefull and very handy! Why did they ever take them out of houses!!!?) Well, you get the picture! I also lived there alone! What a luxury to have enough space
I spent the most money on replacing most of the windows with Marvin, laminated, duel pane with argon gas replacements. But a took a few sets of side by side windows out and replaced them with tilt-turns with are easy to open by swinging the window in like a door--- for easy cleaning! Getting a ladder out to clean windows on the 3rd floor was just not practical. And clean windows are really a great luxury! And one most people didn't see but could sense somehow. But they couldn't really explain it but they knew something was going on! Cleaning the windows every 2 weeks makes a huge difference to how your house feels and looks! And in the winter time I only did it once or twice! But to have windows that swung in was sooo handy! And cleaning was sooo easy to do!!!
I also had the house completely rewired with 220 Amp service. The refrigerator had its own circuit so the lights didn't dim a bit when it cycled on!
Plus I had a few transom windows electrified as they were to high to open manually. So with a push of a button they would open or close. There was a rain sensor, so in case of rain they closed automatically. And a screen sensor, in case the screen came off they would close! I sometimes wondered if I would come home and find someone dangling from the side of the house with their hand or arm inside my dining room waving about wildly! Unlike a garage door these windows didn't reopen if it met an obstruction! Like arms, hands or fingers! Or even heads! If you catch my drift!!!
And I had all of the plumbing replaced everywhere possible and practical to get to, with ball valves installed. But all of the large horizontal pipes were replaced with a better/thicked grade of copper piping.
So that's that, more or less. It was a great house. But after a few years I swore it talked to me! It had a personality and it would speak to me. It made a few noises in really high winds or if it was -10° or less, some of rafters in the attic would 'pop', or make a popping sound. So I could lay in bed, reading, and from the occasional 'pops' I knew the approx temp outside. Fantastic you could get a brief weather report while still in bed just by listening to the house talk to me!
-----
When I went to sell the house there were 2 couple interested in it who were polar opposites.
The first couple loved the house and its many features! But they wanted to grind the floors down to new wood and makes them all shiny, like 'NEW'! Why would you buy a 110 year old house and want to make it look brand new on the inside? Much of what they were responding to was the patina that was layed down over those 110 years! It was part of what made the house so special. There is no other house like that one. It was 98% intact from the day it was finished! Some of the plaster walls had some cracks and that was something else that they wanted fixed! I lived there 20 years and the cracks never bothered me! Ultimately they didn't want to buy house, they were young didn't have any kids so finances were an issue to consider going forward. But why buy 7 bedrooms if you aren't going to fill a few of them with something!
The next couple were the exact opposites! I had put a very small 'for sale' sign in a front window to see who might show up. And like the first couple I made a showing appointment with these folks that was 6 hours long! 'Come in, sit down, let's talk, relax, have a drink of tea or whatever, get a feel of the house! The guy was from Germany, the wife was American. He loved, loved, loved the house and everything about it. I said something that maybe they might want to refinish the floors! Oh, no, absolutely not!

'Gee, what an interesting idea'------- For a house other than this one, i thought! Luckily he didnt come back! Like why would anyone think that was a good idea?
I ended up selling the house to 'friends' who never moved in as they talked about. They only wanted to flip it! So they lied about the whole thing!
So they are my 'former' 'friends'.
UGH! UGH! UGH!

A walk back in time wow just dream land the taste caring class
My god! The furniture alone must be worth in the hundreds of thousands. Such beautiful pieces. And the house!

@@OurRestorationNation TAKE ME WITH YOU PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Carthage is a beautiful city!
One of the most beautiful house’s l have seen, l was born in the wrong time love Victorian houses the furniture is absolutely stunning.
Kudos 👏 and bravo to Lovell family for saving this dame.
Lanie this house 🏡 is beautiful you did a wonderful job on this house 🙏👍 thanks for showing
Unbelievable beautiful, thank you! Having a house as meticulously "restorovated" is my goal!
Amazing…just the amount of money to move, restore, and recreate this home…let alone the original construction.

ilove old homes they just have a timeless beauty about them
So beautiful! Great camera work! I felt as though I was walking through myself looking at all the details!!! Thanks!
Lovely homes. I love the 3rd floor the best. Especially the room with the tower room! I appreciate your presentation. More viewing with informational talking only!
The smaller Queen Anne that is being used as a spa is truly beautiful! It looks like a dollhouse!
Absolutely amazing how they moved the home and meticulously placed it back onto another piece of land.
Beautiful craftsmanship...
Beautifully restored....
I love watching the videos of your channel. Thanks for explaining the difference between towers and turrets. I never forgot that since you first mentioned in another video posted in the past. This is probably one of my favorite properties of all time. Can you imagine? Get two Victorian homes at the same time!
That would be truly amazing 🤩
Thanks again 👍
My only complaint is that I have to watch this one twice! Once to read since my hubs is putting in Rev-a-shelf so I have better storage and accessibility as I get closer to 70 years old and the second time to look for help in my changes with family antiques! I love your tours and I miss my 40s!
Haha me too! (This is Kevin. Laine is still in her 40s). 😂
@@OurRestorationNation you don’t have bad back problems I hope?! I was hit by an ambulance in 2012. We have a concrete floor. I wish our floor was cork!
Dying here❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. 🙏. Thanks to those who saved it! The only thing that makes me just a wee bit nervous is those fantastic pieces of furniture next to the bath 🛁s. But that just me….
WOW!!!!! It is hard to put in words for the Beauty of all of this. Thank You! We would never know of these places if not for you. God Bless you and your family. Hope you have a good 4th of July!
What a lovely home. A dream.
Can you imagine having to dust, polish, scrub all that? It's immaculate.
Every room is stunning and exquisite. I can't imagine the work it took to complete each room and bath. To look for the exact bed, lamp, hanging lights, etc. Not to mention bedding and window dressings. I've not seen such perfection in a house, before. Wish I had 8 million dollars.
Phenomenal masterpiece
Ot only is the property exquisite but the video work is far superior to any I’ve seen on youtube.
Whoever does the editing and music selection.Superb taste,job well done!The house is incredible!Have a great 4th of July both of you!
Phenomenal home ..and such a breath of fresh air to the milk carton / dry wall cookie cutter boring 😴 house plans going up all around!
So enjoyed this video! Your channel is endlessly fascinating.
Wow,wow,wow,unbelievable
Thank you for sharing!
This is insanely breathless.
How magnificent. Although whole time watching saying in the back of my mind "I would live in it"
You do such a great job as educator and tour guide! Your love and passion show thru each and every home! Love the work you and your husband do!
WOW!!! JUST WOW!!
Unbelievably beautiful!! And soooo much more gorgeous than the stars mansions and far cheaper!
Thank you so much for the tour everything was so beautiful how relaxing I would love to live in a place like that but looking at it on your show is the next best thing thank you so much I truly enjoyed I will be looking at more
What a beautiful property!
Hey
Thank you, Laine! I very much enjoyed the tour!
I can tell this home is so well kept, clean and very lovely. It's just perfect!
Just Beautiful!! Amazing!!! And just for 7 mil. what a bargain!!!!
I am literally blown away! This home is so inspiring and I pray that the new care taker will do just justice for this home and keep its legacy. I currently reside in a Queen Anne and feel so inspired to tackle on more restoration projects here 😂.Maybe 🤔 in a few years I would be considering taking charge with something so magnificent and magical like this one of a kind property. Thank you Restoration Nation for sharing this video. I have to agree that this is probably one of the best video I have seen in your channel.
Love everything, but that big, beautiful desk ... Wow!!!
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Times like this I wish I was a millionaire. God bless 😊
Mesmerizing! Love it
Where are you from my friend
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! I have always wanted to see a Queen Ann fully furnished and in impeccable condition. THANK YOU!
Love these tours . Thank you😊
This property is incredible! Utterly amazing! So wonderful that the last owners took such magnificent care of both houses and the property as a whole. I hope the next caretaker/owners will show it just as much love and respect. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Thank you, for a refreshing break from reality.
They were remarkably clever to provide ensuite baths that look like they were always there, and the downstairs rooms are also so consistent with the period. I can only imagine spending a night here!
That house is jaw-droppingly beautiful. What an absolute treasure. I have to stop watching these videos though... makes me want to buy an old house, but I've got one already ;)
That never stopped us! 😂😂😂
What an undertaking. Really beautiful. Projects like this keep skilled tradesmen and artists and their traditions alive.
Beautiful. Maybe one day if I win the Powerball. Such beauty!
What a DREAM! If I could I would get them and live in them. I can see the house in all its Christmas grandeur.
I love these homes and have had the privilege of touring them many years ago before the restoration. I remember some things differently than they are now but it is truly more beautiful than it was! Would love a new tour! But not to be sadly. My husband and I love ES and go as often as we can. We spent our honeymoon there in a cabin outside of town and have loved the place ever since. Wish I had the money to buy and restore one of the homes there. Heaven!! Thank you for the tour Laine and thank Kevin for being a great cameraman!!!
Hope your weekend is going great
Fantastic property, homes and video! Unbelievable. Thank you.
AMAZING JOB!!
Wowie wow wow wow!
Stunning homes! Thank you for posting these video's, your presentations can't be beat. I Love that you talk about the history. Keep it up!!
Sorry I'm commenting so much, but the fretwork on the second floor landing!!!! I can't even handle it!
Thank you for this tour in this unbelievable home AND for using SUCH WONDERFUL BACKGROUND MUSIC! That means the world to me- I know that seems like such a little thing but it’s huge!
This is the most beautiful home I have ever seen
Stunning!! I have never seen a Queen Anne as exquisite as that. What an incredible restoration. The furniture was also incredible. Thanks so much for sharing such a fabulous house with us.
Incredible! Although for some reason, the spa idea made me a little sad for the second home. It just looks like a home for a family but the properties are breathtaking. What a treasure. Thanks for the tour. Great job.
I lust for this house.
Wow just amazing
What’s amazing Linda
What a beautiful home
