    I love when people can find the potential in something. When everyone dismissed this home he saw what it could be and gave it life. It exudes, warmth, comfort and character. Well done.

    A beautiful house, sensitively restored, decorated and furnished. I so enjoy this channel as I have mentioned before. Such a treat to be invited into wonderful homes owned by a vast array of talented people. Thank you guys for maintaining a high quality channel. I appreciate all the work involved both on and behind the screen.

    I love this! So unique to his personal taste; it has a New England coastal feel, without being the same old derivative beach style we see all the time. This cat person is so happy to see the hallway full of dog portraits. A happy and comforting home. :)

    One of my favourite homes, even outside of your channel here. It's not just the antiques, the cultivated atmosphere, the handmade charm and the location; it's the novelty of seeing an alternative idea of a beach house. So warm, welcoming and best of all suitable for all seasons. I can just imagine how charming and inviting this house seems when entertaining guests 'off season'. Absolutely gorgeous. My thumbs up and comment from years ago has disappeared I just noticed on rewatching this gem so thought it my duty to repost my compliments in support of channel growth and personal, human support. xo :)

    OK Susanna, now THIS is my favorite house. Being a new subscriber and catching up on your videos, I found myself saying that after each one I've watched. But it's true this time. Did Ken say how old the house was? Not that I need to know. The older the house and furnishings, the more in awe I am. Seriously, I get the chills.
    In a good way.
    Edit: scratch the how old question, but not my level of excitement.
    I really ought to read the description before I watch. But I get so happy when I see a Quintessence video show up in my feed that I automatically click to watch it.
    You've got me teained well Susanna.

      Sally Quinn, who restored Grey Gardens, remarked that a house that age isn't meant to be without flaws; the crooked walls and dings are what give it its character. That helps me be at peace with my 130-year-old house and all its beautiful imperfections.

    Really beautiful renovation/restoration of a very special old property. As a long time Provincetown resident who knew the previous owner and somewhat of the history of this house, it was interesting to watch the transformation. I am happy to see that you did not try to make it into something it wasn't intended to be. Obviously great taste and, equally important, much love went into this project. Congratulations.

    What a charmer, the warmth and coziness created with the colors used is perfect. The living room (?) with the beautiful rich hues is my favorite, and that stove and that little bedroom with the bay window and those dog portraits running along the hall and of course the sweet looking dogs. What fun to see, thank you so much for taking us on another great tour. We are so lucky to get to tag along with you on these visits, the gentleman whose house it is, is so kind to let us enjoy it too.

    Over the years, Provincetown has become a sort of a Disney tourist destination. The real history and charm of the town with its mix of Portuguese immigrants, international artists and unpretentious shops and eateries has been washed away by wealthy second or third home owners who like to think it is still a unique and authentic place. The landscape is...that's pretty much the only real things left.
