According to info on Zillow, this one finally sold Feb 2024. I fell in love with this house and nearly went for a tour last summer. Im so happy someone purchased it, since it really sounds like the previous owner really didn't want to part with it unless someone really wanted to take on the project and not just tear it down. There are so many lovely old houses in need of revival in this town (and affordable), ill probably be back looking at others and cant wait to see this beautiful home preseved. ❤
Omg how fun it would be decorating this gem!!! I'd go crazy shopping antique stores and such !! What a dream that would be for me. I left my four square Victorian home in fort Smith Arkansas 14 years ago. I live on 55 acres in Alabama on a farm...wish I could put one of these beauties on this land.
This house has some incredible intact details. That stairway, oh my goodness! And is that Morris wallpaper peeking out in the first room? (I'm swooning, and I bet the same pattern is still available.) That basement and foundation looks pristine! It's also on a nice corner lot. I sure hope someone gives this house the love it deserves. I completely agree that this is the best kind of project for someone just getting into rehabilitation. My house was in the same sort of shape -- new plumbing, new electrical, the HVAC was from 2000 and I wanted to add air conditioning anyway, so I splurged for a new furnace. The best part is that I can live here while I do small projects. (Though reglazing the 30 original 6 over 1 windows will not be a small project!) I'll have to leave for a few days when the spray foam insulation guys come, and also when I remodel the only full bathroom, but otherwise it's great to do one room at a time.
No chance for a 2nd full bathroom before the only one available is restored? Just an idea, that you probably already thought of before, but just in case 😁 good luck with your project!
@@magusl9628 Oh, I really tried to make it work, but the house is just so small, especially upstairs (1200 sq ft including the basement/garage). It's going to be a tight squeeze to get a powder room into a closet space!
What a beautiful home and so much expensive work has already been done. What a fabulous find. Amazing that there are so many closets in a house of that time period. Love the big windows. Thanks so much for another great tour.
What a beautiful town!! The previous owner set whoever buys this up for success, how awesome!! I wish I had 9 inch brick walls lol I bet the sound proofing from children screaming is easily worth the sale price!! 😂😂😍😍 Thank you for another beautiful video, these are some of my favorites by y’all!
I grew up in a house with 12” thick plaster walls. My Dad used to joke that we could set off a bomb in one room and no one would hear it. Don’t know about that, but my sister and I were never asked to turn the music down. 😂
A friend of ours once told me houses like this are actually solid brick!! He said most houses today sold as brick are really just brick veneer,on the outside! But these 9-12" walls are the real deal I guess!! Same with rock houses. A house close to us had the foot wide,two feet long,4" thick rocks were laid flat, end to end, another one flat on top! Talk about quiet,& cool in the summer,warm in the winter!! They used a cast iron stove to heat with too! Window sills we're several inches wide/deep! The house was 70yo,& in a "holler", between hills all around,& close to hiway but when inside you'd think you were miles out in the country!!
@@vernareed2692 Our house had been built in the late 1920’s. For a moving in gift, my Grandfather, a contractor, gave my parents a workman for a day. They wanted an inset medicine cabinet. My Mom said the man spent the entire day literally chiseling out the wall so the cabinet could be placed. He was the one who told her they were solid plaster. Nothing else on their “to do “ list got done since this first project took so long. Since this house was built in a north shore suburb of Chicago and had unbelievable, artistic workmanship through out, I doubt it was built with “at hand” materials. The sad part is that the last owners bought it to tear down. The previous owners had updated the entire house and it was in perfect shape, on an acre with space for expansion, if they wanted something larger. They just wanted the address with no appreciation for the actual house. 😢
Missouri, Louisiana. Oh heaven's. This is fantabulous!! "Something To Live For" I agree, nvr put the powder room off the kitchen. Luck is the one that gets this magnificent piece of art. What a beautiful neighborhood to. Made my day thank you ❤️ 😍
Wow, just wow! What a beautiful little town and neighborhood too. Those walls with that plaster patina are to die for but I know they will be covered eventually of course. I would take a picture sure of every wall before in every room and frame it. That lattice wallpaper is incredible too. That was a good tour!
What a gem! Thank you for including some footage of the pretty neighborhood and charming town. I'm a little sad to know that the owner did all of the 'hard stuff', and won't get to see it through to the finish, but I imagine they have their reasons for selling. It will still be a lot of work, but anyone who buys it will be spared the stress of wondering if/when the roof will come down. Not even a window that needs restoring!
I think the cities should start restoring these masterpieces, and selling them. Not keep them for city use, but to profit the city. They’re too beautiful to just let them fall apart.
If I had the funds I would like this home and since it had a barn should be enough room to build at least a 2 car garage on the Property. I would truly see if I could get the This Old House Team to come and help with the restoration, they have all the expertise and experience to really do this home justice.
Love it!!! So agree, I'd make the powder room a lovely large laundry with hang up space and folding space!!! What a Fab home someone will have once completed!!! Thanks for the tour.
I help with the annual Christmas tour in Louisiana, MO, and we have so much fun dressing in the Victorian for the festivities! This is a great community and much cheaper that right across the river in Illinios. If you are looking for a great state and a great town, Louisiana, Missouri is ready for you!
Honestly, I’ve never seen a hydrangea bush that big! I kept looking at it and thought no way that could be a hydrangea, but yup it is… absolutely gorgeous
This house looks a lot like the house my sister and brother-in-law lived in , theirs was built in 1873 was a inn off a canal barns for boats and horses summer kitchen and a wood room off it
If I were 40 years younger, it might be an option. I hope someone younger than me will finish this beauty. I've seen too many really beautiful houses abandoned because no one saw their potential.
Wow! That's maybe an hour away! I live just a bit south of downtown St. Louis, so I my have to look at this. Fantastic info and thank you so much for sharing. I'm excited 😁
I hope you bought it. If so you should do a series on finshing the project on U tube I'm sure people would flock to it and that would help with some of the $ to finish
Oh my goodness! When were you guys in my backyard of Louisiana MO? I have been watching you for a few months now and loving it! But this video made me subscribe! Thank you! Louisiana is such a neat town, I hope this video gets this house some serious buyers!
Being on a river bluff is the next best thing to being in a hill suburb. Good views of things other than back yards, and a bit of cityscape. Thanks for posting.
Such a lovely home with high ceilings, eggshell doorknobs, and the details on the stairway are gorgeous! I love that there's already hydrangea there. I cannot keep one alive for the life of me. lol. Now I want to make a trip there just to view the area. Thanks for this video!
I need to borrow ninety five thousand dollars. It really seems like a great bargain. Idaho isn't affordable anymore. If I had that money right now I'd be on the road yesterday. 😍 she's gorgeous.

Would be a great home to have and restore my you mentioned your personal issues with having a Powder room off the kitchen but I have a major issue with laundry being carried back and forth through the kitchen where food is prepared especially because I have a lot of animals and things get very fury with fur and stuff all over no matter how much defurers I use. So rather the laundry not have to go through the kitchen.

Lead paint is not a big worry. You can encapsulate it with new paint. There will be a pretty good sized fee for new galleries unless you do it yourself, but I would say it needs 60-75 thousand and at worst 100.

If I was younger I would take this home on. It could be fabulous. So much wood to finish and plaster to repair.
Me too! I used to redo homes! But I’m 76 now. Sigh….
I so wish people with the money to repair these house would. We don’t need anymore McMansions.
*The free market unfortunately has decided otherwise.*
Idk why they wouldn't! Many of the new "luxury mansions" are ugly and lack any sliver of character.
@@Christina-71 this house is $96k for a reason, because it's not in a place even rich people want to live in
They would repair them and then what?

Lead paint is not a big worry. You can encapsulate it with new paint. There will be a pretty good sized fee for new galleries unless you do it yourself, but I would say it needs 60-75 thousand and at worst 100.
