- No, we're not moving, and no we are not looking to move, we adore Sugarwood, but I thought I would share a house that Ben and I looked at during an open house tour. I will explain why in the video.

I LOVE seeing historic properties! please feel free to tour and share any that might take your fancy!
It is a beautiful home but honestly, I prefer Sugarwood❤ Can't wait to see the completed renovations!
We totally agree!
Hi Linda, what a sweet surprise when you mentioned my channel, thank you! 🥰 We are definitely kindred spirits. Looking at homes is so much fun and it is equally fun to dream about them. What a wonderful home, so much charm. I can’t believe how many rooms it has. I can see why you were intrigued. Thx for taking us on the tour, I love homes with history.
Much love ❤ 🏡
You're welcome! Sunday drives and Sunday open houses can be dangerous LOL, but luckily we love where we are right now. I have a lot more to do on Sugarwood before we would even consider a change.
I totally get it! Sugar wood has never really seemed like you as much as the Groton house was. I think this yard is stunning, it looks like a really solid built home with so many options. Whatever you decide I love your channel I hope you find that right and perfect home that meets all of your needs and pleases you in every way!🤗
Omg I totally agree! Just my opinion, but I adored the Groton house and never understood why Sugarwood was preferable…except for the land aspect. I was absolutely in love with what Linda created in her prior home esp kitchen and dining room.
Please say you changed your mind and you guys are going to buy it
@@nikkivenable73 Other than not having as much land as they desired, I think Groton House was on a busy road in town and when traffic slowed during pandemic they realized they liked the quiet.
Don't worry! We were never looking to move or buy! Sugarwood is our home.
Ooooh! Just wait until we are done! Groton house was a two family home that needed a total remodel when we bought it. We gutted a lot of it. We made it into what everyone saw. Sugarwood is now going to get the same NEFL treatment.
“Don’t yell at me……” that’s hysterical. I just adore you!!!
You will be watching us at Sugawood for quite some time! Now that we just completed all of the icky home update work, that is hidden behind walls, under floors, or in the basement, now the fun begins for me!
Maybe because I am not as young as I once was but that house looks like years of work and not enjoying life or the house. We love having projects around our 87 year old home but life is short and uncertain so there comes a time when enough is enough and it is time to enjoy our 5 children and 11 grandchildren. I know everyone is different and to each their own. Can't wait to see the reveal of your kitchen and tavern room.
I would love to see you touring more properties, whether you buy them or not! What fun to tag along!!
Will do! Even though we are not looking to move, my fear is I will want to buy all of them that I tour! LOL. Instead of being a cat lady, I'm a house lady!
I love this property! You know, every home you sell has been left better by you and your hubby. You've invested in it and made it better!
😳… Shock.. thought you both loved Sugarwood!.. nice house, but it doesn’t have The Magic of SW… it’s such a special place. 😊
Oh we doooooo love Sugarwood! She is so special to us. We were just having fun peeking during a Sunday open house at a home we saw when we were house hunting.
Sorry Linda, sooo glad as it’s wonderful watching SW unfold & enjoying a new phase to this lovely house. It’s like the house & woods has this magical & peaceful feel to it & we are privileged to be able experience a small part of it with you.😊
The home looks beautiful from the outside, I’m just not sold when it comes to the inside of the house.
This house would need even more work than Sugarwood is requiring. Keep going the way you are. You're on the right track with Sugarwood.
For sure! Now that the non-seen work is done at Sugarwood, now I get to play and decorate her!
Beautiful older home with a lot of potential. However I prefer living in the country with more land. It would be a lot of house to clean. I do enjoy your taking us on these house tours. So please don't stop.
Love looking at historic homes! thanks, that was fun!! Side note, we lived in our 2nd house for a year, had it half gutted for remodel, when hubby's stepmother had us look at one of her old homes that went up for sale. It had everything we'd been looking for, larger in size, French doors, Pocket doors, fireplace, etc.... we ended up buying it, giving my poor hubby 2 homes to work on for a while. We've learned never say never! Good luck!!
That is awesome!
What a beautiful house! I personally think with that amount of accommodation it is more suitable for a family with three or four children to make it a home. I would take Sugarwood in a heartbeat, with your own dog walking woods, perfect. You could always build a timber 2 or 3 bedroom home for visiting family. With that amount of additional land, it wouldn’t be a problem. Enjoyed the tour, many thanks.
We totally agree!
Good luck in deciding. If you have the strength & means - do it.
You can never loose on a beautiful piece of property with a solid home built on it. Love the VRBO that’s an awesome idea!!!
PS I’ve been a subscriber to Liz for at least 3 years - she’s a sweetie. 💕
What a kindness to share my channel and new move. And that house is a stunner!!!
😍😍😍 I love old homes and their foundations also! And it's a blessing, not a curse, lol!
Oh wow! You watch Linda Vater too! Love you both! 💕 This place is gorgeous and so is Sugarwood.
Okay. I love this house. I don't blame you at all. Love Sugarwood too and you can always build a guest house or bunkhouse or multiple storybook cottages with all the land you have.
Exactly! Our plan is to make Sugarwood Family escape for our children
Those wallpapers are definitely you Linda…a beautiful home…thanks for sharing with us…🥰🇦🇺
This home was beautiful but you did make the right decision ❤
I was just going to say “I LOVE THE FOUNDATION ON THIS HOUSE!”
I too feel like a hermit crab sometimes. Especially old houses. Love accompanying you on these adventures.
This house is so you! Ohh I could see you loving that house into perfection! I’m completely in love with it!
I hope someone buys it and keeps working on it!
I am getting older and I think Sugarwood is perfect. Not a lot of stairs with manageable yard and garden. But this house is beautiful.
I totally agree! One of our goals was single level living
Oh, yes to this house! Charming inside and out. How I love touring homes vicariously with you. I personally would love being part of an historic community. Our little 1756 stone cottage is in the middle of a mid-century neighborhood. We are the landmark that everyone enjoys seeing, but I’d prefer being with like properties. Thanks for the tour.
It’s a lovely property, but Sugarwood has so much more charm and warmth. In my opinion, I prefer it.
We agree with you. I can’t wait until Sugarwood is complete so others see the vision we have for her.
There are a lot of beautiful homes out there. This is certainly one of them. The stonework is gorgeous as is the landscape. Sugarwood is a special place because of the land. You can't always get views and forest! Look forward to your decision!
Thank you for watching. There is no decision. We just went to look out of curiosity since it was a home we saw next to our house we made an offer on. We love our home and can’t wait until Sugarwood is complete
That foundation was amazing❤. I love seeing the old homes! Thanks for sharing!
I was a property manager for 25 years and love houses! You and Ben would be perfect to own rental property. Any old house would be lucky to have you as owners because you have a strong pride of ownership so many lack today. You can never own too many houses :)
I’ll watch whatever house you’re in. I just like to learn the thought process and things to consider when renovating. I find the idea of explaining what I want and how to go about getting it overwhelming. Thank you for sharing
You will be seeing Sugarwood! Now that the unseen work is done with her updates, I get to start having fun decorating.
This house is BEAUTIFUL. Completely understand why you went to see it. I would have been hooked. The mature trees around the house are so gorgeous. Lovely property. Thanks for sharing.
Open houses are a wonderful opportunity to view properties. We never would have called to look at it since we know we are not moving.
Linda, we would never yell at you. I love sharing in your adventure and funny, I also watch Linda Vatar and Liz from "Traditions by the Season" and saw both their new homes already and love visiting with you all.
What a gorgeous property! I adore historic homes and this was a treat to see.
What a beautiful home, I would have had a tough time resisting.
Sugarwood is so charming, more private feel..perfect country home for a small family. Just my style. This two story home is huge..has a different look from Sugarwood. Very lovely. But what ever works for your family is what's best. You and Ben are such a good match..Love all your videos..I wish I could have bought Sugarwood..
It is too large for us too. We love where we are.
Wow! Such a lovely home. Who wouldn't want to own a lovely old home like this one. And the grounds are so lovely too! I can see so many lovely flowers planted there...Thanks for share this tour with us.
Love Traditions by the Season. The house was quite spacious and the basement was huge. Oh the little cottage was adorable. Thank you for sharing!
What a gorgeous, historic home that is... and the cottage. Linda, thank you for sharing this with us... I 'm not familiar with Linda, YET but, I absolutely love Liz.💖👏💥👏. This was really so enjoyable, Linda.
👏💛👏
Oh, I love this home! Thank you for sharing. Enjoyed it so much.
I think it’s great you all buy homes, remodel, decorate and share it with us!
Linda, my husband and I are always looking at different properties in the area. It’s lots of fun to imagine what it would be like to live in a different house, and I’m always ready for a new project! That house you looked at it is very interesting but I agree, not enough land. Also, Liz at Traditions by the Seasons seems like such a nice person and I always enjoy her videos!! Thanks so much for sharing!🦋
I love looking at historic homes. Please keep taking us along with you as you tour of these homes.
I can’t wait to see sugar weigh when your renovation is done.❤❤❤
Linda, I’m sitting here laughing because when you bought Sugarwood (“your unicorn home”), I suspected you would still be on a quest for the perfect house! This house is stunning but so much to take care of! And we know you… no room is perfect unless you put your special & personal touch. 😂
We agree and I look forward to working on all of my ideas for her.
I love the look of old foundations.
What an amazing property! And oh how I love exploring old buildings! So many wonderful memories of roaming through my uncle’s parsonages in Hinsdale MA and Andover CT when I was young. My dream is to own a small New England cottage but married to a southern ‘boy’ makes it a hard sell when it comes to winters. Well at least I have your channel to live vicariously through you 😉
Wow, this house is amazing!! I can't believe all the bedrooms and the bathrooms with the claw foot tubs I love. The black toile wallpaper in the bathroom was beautiful. Yes, the kitchen was amazing, and I love the black granite countertops. I would rather have a nice creamy white for the cabinets, like your home will have soon. Did you both notice the second kitchen has yellow 💛 walls? Lol
My husband would love the garage/man cave also. Now the cabin needs some serious love. Yes, you are the best person to renovate it.
In a way, the main house seems like a maize with all the doors into different rooms. Too much home to maintain for us. I can't even imagine where to start weekly cleaning in that home. Thanks for sharing.
LOL we did not notice the yellow walls!
Wow, that house is fabulous, I knew when you immediately started planning to work on sugar wood that it was not the unicorn house, happy house hunting.
We’re not househunting. It was just a house we saw when we were househunting and we were curious. Once Sugarwood is complete she is going to be our unicorn home. If we choose to move in the future it would only be due to something out of the ordinary.
Omg! That house is amazing! So.many rooms and space. The yard looked perfect. The small cottage, wow! Just fabulous ! I would find that hard to turn away from. Your current home is wonderful too!
Linda, you should seriously consider buying this home. My husband and I are older than you and your husband. We have grandchildren. Let me tell you that more bed are much more important than more land. You will be tired of working your land but you will never regret having your loved ones stay with you. People congregate on a patio or deck is what we’ve observed. We love your videos and can’t wait to see the finished kitchen. This home has stunning estate features. Thank you for your channel.
I'm not yelling....... I can see you in this house. It is beautiful and what a great idea for the cottage. As the renovations are progressing. I'm getting the feeling that Sugarwood will not be your " forever home.".(just sayin). I am not surprised that you are looking and In the meantime, I'm loving every minute of your and Ben's journey.
😄 I'll watch as long as you do the work. I want to move too (bored after living in one house for 38 yrs), but by the time I redecorate this big ole house (for sale) I'll decide to stay to enjoy my sweat equity.
It’s a lovely stately house.
Hi Linda! I just discovered your channel this morning and subscribed, I was out today but you keep coming up in my feed now and I’m enjoying so much. Liz gave me a boost last November and I love her new home! This home is so charming! Oh you sound like my husband and me always dreaming. Though we already did the vrbo business for 6 years with 2 homes. I’m between dreams sort of. We just moved into our dream so it will take time. What a cellar! Those rock walls🥰 New England rock walls are gorgeous! The grounds are lovely. I haven’t seen much of the home you are currently in but I’ll be catching up. Enjoy your Spring flowers😊
Thank you for taking us along. It was a beautiful house, but the land at Sugarwood is so amazing. We purchased our house because of the land and immediately remodeled. I've never regretted it for one second.
That is how we feel! And we have made so many great friends where we are too. We can't imagine moving now that our roots are just starting to take hold.
I am a follower of Liz & heard her news yesterday. That is a gorgeous house you showed us today.
My husband and I would go almost every year to North Conway in autumn to enjoy all it has to offer, and look for homes all around New Hampshire! I miss going there so much. You are lucky to live there❤️
I love your house now and the house before. The house before has the prettiest garden/yard. You are lucky to have so many historical options in your area. The only thing I don't care about is the baseboard heating.
I love seeing New England properties - including floorplans helps. Thank you for taking this side trip for us.
I just watched Liz's news last night. I don't know maybe those Sunday drives are expensive. LOL ---Beautiful home but I just wouldn't know what to do. Sugar Wood is so beautiful.
I don't believe Sugarwood is your forever home...I don't know why but I've had that feeling from the beginning of your move. Sending only good wishes to you and Ben.( Willow too of course).
One never knows I guess, but we look forward to working on Sugarwood and sharing our love with her as if she is going to be.
Thank you for taking us along. I always enjoy hearing your thought process.
I love Sugarwood. As far as old homes go, this one doesn’t look as old as Sugar. I love the yard and gardens of Sugar. I don’t know how many times you move-can’t understand why anyone wants to keep moving so much. A beautiful home that I’ve (and you’ve) put so much time and work into is so satisfying and proud can be kept to revel in! As far as huge & old homes go, do you do your own regular housecleaning or have help? I do my own, have a “regular size” house and it wears me out! Little time to enjoy other activities of life. Kudos to you for having energy to deal with renovations & housekeeping-must eat up all of your time unless your job is flipping houses. Hang in there!
Hi! Yes, until Sugarwood, all of my homes were to flip. They were investment properties. Even Groton was purchased to remodel and sell. We just sold it a couple of years before we thought we would. Sugarwood is the first home purchased as a true home and not a flip.
Just beautiful.. I Love it.. I’m falling more in love with your area.. Always thank you for sharing homes for sale and your input..
I was not surprised about Liz’s or Linda’s news but was really shocked that you guys even have time to look, as deep into your remodel as you are. I do understand the pull to look….but honestly I didn’t think this one compared with Sugarwood. Outside is pretty but inside, everything looked very chopped up. Of course I know you could make it amazing. I also thought the neighbors were very close. As others said, we love touring houses, old and new so feel free to take us along! I know whatever you do to any house will be an improvement.
We were just looking out of curiosity after our Sunday morning breakfast. Like I mentioned it was a house we saw next to a home we made an offer on before we found Sugarwood and curiosity got to us. We love where we are.
I love old homes!! Would be very interested in touring these old beauties. I also love them from their foundations to their rafters. Thanks for the tour! 🥰
Love Traditions by the Season
Linda, you are my favorite channel since I found you during lockdown! Having lived in, and appreciated New England my entire life, your channel name is why I clicked on! I love all that you share on New England Fine Living, and look forward to each video!
Wow, thank you!
But Linda, Sugar Wood is beautiful!...But this one is beautiful too!...and the yard! I love it!
I agree! and Sugarwood has not even had her moment to shine yet. I'm just getting started now that all of the icky work is done that she needed.
it is so much fun to look at different places. ❤ thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us as well. Sending hugs prayers and kindness with lots of smiles ❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Oh my! Surprise after surprise. One that you would think of moving so soon and the house was so much bigger inside than it looked from outside. Thanks for sharing it
We’re not thinking of moving, it was just one of those Sunday morning drives that turned into the what if‘s, but we loved Sugarwood.
Love it too! Also love the landscape! Still...hefty upkeep...inside & out! A LOT
to CONSIDER! Best Wishes!
Hi! We are not considering a move, we were just looking at an open house that caught our eye when we were looking. Sugarwood is our home.
I liked the look of the house from the outside, not crazy for the inside.
I cannot wait to see the kitchen at Sugarwood! I love riding & walking through the woods when you take us! Sugarwood is magical!
We agree. Sugarwood has a magical quality about her. We love this property and home and I can't wait to NEFLize her. :-)
Omgosh, as much as I love cape cods, I think this one is a keeper. Thank you!
Glad you like it! I hope someone buys it soon and makes it their dream home.
It's beautiful home but something about other one feels special and land is beautiful.
Chances of anyone moving at the same time as Liz is pretty high since she moves a lot. I say that with total affection for Liz. As she said her and her husband move a lot for investment reasons too and that is smart. I have a brother-in-law who has done that for as long as I have known him. As always though I will forever be a fan of your kitchen in the last house. I just can't shake it but am looking forward to this kitchen as well. :)
We are so looking forward to seeing Sugarwood complete and showing others that she too is a magical property. Remember Groton House kitchen was designed by me and was three small rooms before I got my hands on it.
I love it that you said, “don’t yell at me”. You made me laugh out loud when I saw your video title. I would love to stay at a Vrbo that you own and decorate! The house was so fun. I can almost picture what it would look like when you do your magic💕thank you again for sharing 💕
I love this Craftsman’s style home so much.
Truly enjoyed the tour of this New England fine living home and it was a thrill to see.
Anytime you are up for the challenge, please bring us other tours of the cottage style homes in that area.
I love old homes also. Their histories are fascinating.
Wow! What a beautiful house! I don’t blame you for being tempted. Love the tours. 😊
This is a much harder house to grow old in.
For sure! Groton House, with its four levels from the back was overwhelming
Wow! Crazy over this place. Love visiting old homes. Thanks!
Beautiful home. That cluster of 3 trees were surreal!
Go for it, I understand needing more room for your family!!
I love the house is beautiful and gorgeous view to , thank you to share Linda , I love is beautiful .🥰
Oh my, she’s a beauty… I totally understand why you looked😍! If you had said you bought her, I would’ve been super excited to see what you would’ve done!!
I’m not sure I have another big home remodel in me and that property would be a lot. It was a beauty to enjoy viewing though!
That house is GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing
$950! Practically free. That’s really amazing. The community looks quite special. Thx for sharing Linda
It really is!
Just happened onto your channel and have fun viewing your home remodel. I have been a Linda Vater fan since September. My home is a 1918 Caretakers Cottage in Tacoma, Wa.
Welcome Linda!
I follow Liz from Traditions by the season. She’s the sweetest. Beautiful home with so much charm ❤
Beautiful house. It would have been perfect when I was raising my 8 children. They are grown now. I don’t think I would want to heat and clean that size house these days, however. Thank you for sharing!
I absolutely love seeing all the older homes and properties! Please show more! ☺️
You got it!
I could care less how many houses you look at, buy or just contemplate because I only ask to be enlightened and entertained when I visit. You and Hunny know what you want, need and desire so look all you want and I’ll come along for the ride!!!:):):)
Thank you for your kind words!
I do follow Linda Vater and know she is moving! Wow!
I LOVE the exterior of this home !!!
Linda, you are my kindred spirit! I love looking at homes and even though the likelihood of moving is nil. I guess Sugarwood has to grow on me to, perhaps when all of your construction is done and we can see the beautiful outcome. This property is amazing and seems like it’s more up your alley than Sugarwood. Groton house has to be my all time favorite though. I hope you indeed find that unicorn home, I’m sure it’s out there waiting for you and Ben to uncover it❤
I can't wait until everyone sees my vision once Sugarwood is done. For a year we have been working on things nobody can see that had to be done. Now I get to have fun! As for Groton house we did love that home, but remember, it was a run down two family when we bought it, with small rooms. Our family thought we were crazy. We remodeled her too.
Beautiful house. I love looking at open houses. If you move, all the power to you! 😊
It is a beautiful house, but we're not moving. ;-)
Wow that home is gorgeous Linda. I love love the stone outside very English country to me. Very quaint inside I love your adventurous soul 😌
Love seeing your house tours so please keep them coming. Looking forward to seeing your Sugarwood kitchen done.
Finally made it to your booth at Twin Elm Farms. No need to have a sign there - it was quite obviously your booth. It was beautifully curated and designed and it even smelled wonderful! I purchased a few items and will be back. Just wished I had been able to get there during the Christmas season.
Thank you for swinging by and I love hearing that you could tell which room was NEFL!
