CHRISTMAS HOME TOUR | Holiday Magic Inside a Gut-Renovated New England Home
Interior and fine arts photographer Sarah Winchester takes us inside her stunning Massachusetts home that is decked for the holidays.
For more extraordinary home tours, visit our website: homeworthy.com/
Sarah and her husband purchased their traditional Foursquare home in Chestnut Hill nearly 11 years ago. In need of TLC, Sarah and her family lived through numerous renovations to transform their forever home into a haven of warmth and timeless charm. Owning an older home in New England, Sarah and her family feel a profound sense of stewardship - acting as the custodians until the torch is passed to the next generation.
This unique home boasts a harmonious blend of Southern and New England styles, reflecting Sarah's roots in Georgia. The fusion of these influences creates an inviting atmosphere, where tradition meets modernity. As an interiors and fine arts photographer, Sarah infuses her home with a neutral palette that serves as a serene backdrop. Yet, she masterfully introduces pops of color through her own captivating photographs and the delightful artwork of her children. Each room tells a story, narrated through the lens of Sarah's artistic vision, creating a home that is both inviting and visually stunning.
Meet Magnolia, Sarah's feline companion and the muse behind the festive spirit that envelops the Winchester residence during the holiday season. With multiple Christmas trees, ornate garlands, and an array of seasonal embellishments, the house transforms into a winter wonderland, capturing the essence of joy and celebration. Enjoy!

I read the comments below and the questions about the history of the house. Sarah says it "dates back to 1987" at the beginning of the video but I think she meant 1887. Beautiful home!
The warmth of her personality is reflected in her home.
Beautifully done! She should frame her grandmother's butter cookie recipe and add it to the gallery wall in her kitchen.
This Homeowner is charming and she has created a wonderful living space for her family. This is clearly an older home and the owner mentions that several times in this tour including that the window glass is over 100 years old so I’m not sure why some viewers are concerned that the home is newer. Bravo to this Homeowner and all of her unique decor concepts.

a plaque on the exterior reads 1897. The homeowner just mixed up the numbers - i am sure being filmed like this is quite nerve-wracking and she did a wonderful job.

The homeowner is an annoying dummy…. Who needs the learn what the definition of an “older home” is
Love that her kitchen is for cooking and the dining room is for dinners.

I love the beautiful landing. It's huge. Everyone with a landing should consider expanding out the back. She made it so awesome. Room for a tree and chairs. A window seat and the illusion of a square bay with three windows. Awesomeness 😎

Beautiful, interesting, and comfortable home. I love that it is very reflective of the homeowner. Lovely!
Beautiful home presented in such a welcoming way by the owner. I love homes that are traditional and cozy.
I love this woman's energy and authenticity! Sarah, you are fabulous!
Could we take a minute for THAT SKIRT. HONEY. CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. Also, this woman is so warm and welcoming, taking that Southern soul and warming our cold New England hearts. (I can say that, I'm a native New Englander.) Beautiful, cozy, comfy home. Thank you!
What a delightful homeowner. And she's done a wonderful job of creating a home that is filled with beautiful things she enjoys, and yet is not so precious that her family can't relax in it and enjoy it.
Oh, my! I adore her artwork/photography. It's really special to be able to showcase your favorite work in your own home. Every piece of furniture, accessory, plant, etc. is absolutely placed with intention. Love this home, love the stories, love her presh skirt!
I love that she is totally about Christmas 💚 And her skirt was absolutely AMAZING 💚💚 Beautiful, comfortable home.
I love her home. “No tree is complete without a train around it.” I agree!
My favorite tour! It’s nice to see a beautiful home with smaller rooms and perfectly decorated! My style for sure and always has been.
This is absolutely gorgeous. Every single thing, including Sarah's outfit! Sarah is such an engaging hostess and I enjoyed listening to her descriptions. I especially loved her photograph above the fireplace.
From the opening outside view to the beautifully decorated interior I was entranced. This is my idea of an ideal family home. I can smell the cookies baking & the warmth of the fire as you wait for Santa. ❤️🎅🏻🌲🦌
Awww, the house is so nice, I would have liked to see the kids rooms too!
This is the second Massachusetts house featured with about the same floor plan as my daughter's home in the Boston suburbs. It's so much fun to see how three different women have put their own touch on basically the same house.
An understated elegance throughout. Just love that the black has blue in it giving the library/tv room a sophisticated but inviting nuance. The magnolia greenery is a personal favourite with its lush two-tone textured leaves woven into garland and wreaths - Magnolia the kitty is beautiful too. Just lovely. Thank you for welcoming us in. Merry Christmas. God Bless !

Another older house with traditional decor, I live for these episodes. Classic elements that make a perfect backdrop for almost any decorating style. ❤
Great job on this beautiful home! Love the library built in with the double door to the kitchen just blending in. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Thanks for sharing your lovely home. The Christmas decor, trees and garland are beautiful inside and out . Love the mantles. What a comfortable, cozy home. Greetings from Atlanta. Happy Holidays.

I always appreciate the homes in these videos even if I do not always connect with some the Southern and New England homes shown. This house...I LOVE....I would leave my sunny CA and brave the snow and ice for this gorgeous home. Beautiful!
Exciting to see Sarah's home decorated for Christmas!! She was on one of my fav of the lockdown tours on House Beautiful!

Thank you so so much. So glad to see you here.
Love the home… LOVE. that you really celebrate Christmas with the decor… not afraid to use all the red and green but so we’ll done! LOVE THAT YOU TREASURE YOUR KIDS ART!! I’m not one for the sterile minimal look or muted Xmas decor… and this home is so elegant but cozy and so warm. Beautiful!!!!
"You have to pay the kitty tax" when you walk buy ...:) Loved that and her exquisite photography. It isn't easy to come up with your own take in one of the most photographed cities in the world - but her Paris pieces are stunning! The moody library and the mini bathroom were my favorite rooms. It is a home filled with love and showered with attention and it shows. All around lovely tour and may I say I loved the simple greenery with the shiny satin green bows the best - it suited the home. The fancy X-mas decor screams money and designer, it represents pure glamour...:)- party time!
Beautiful home, I’m sure it’s from the 1800’s!!
love seeing some of the 'before' photos. love the tour! glad we see magnolia freshening up
I’ve watched most of these. I enjoyed her the most. Normal, down to earth woman who included her family in the design process. Great design is a marriage of aesthetic and usability. I loved listening to her, even if our design styles are not the same.
Coming from a younger person she was so informative about how she took this place transformed it to a HOME for her FAMILY job well DONE HAPPY Holidays to everyone
Love this homeowner’s style and how she has curated her home. As a photographer myself, I struggle to choose my own images for the walls. She has given me some inspiration for my historic home.
I have blue accents in my home too and appreciate how she can incorporate Christmas red in her dining room. I also like how she planned the flow from kitchen island (no seating) to breakfast nook to formal dining room
When she talks about her Dad and items from him (or other family members) it reminds me of little items my Dad made for me that I won't ever part with and how much I wish he could still be here... the importance of family and how much family still influences me as the years go by. Lovely home and host!
Homeowner was so interesting and fun. Love her style...very cozy yet with a bit of an edge. Beautiful home. What vision!
She seems to me like a little christmas fairy who points out somewhere and this place soon turns out to be nice😊 greetings from Germany and thank you for showing
Lovely house ,beautiful photographs very talented.Thank you for showing your family home
I love your style. I am also from Atlanta. I like how the muted light colors are grounded with black. You have a beautiful timeless style
What an absolutely beautiful, lovingly curated home. Sarah is so much fun. And her Christmas skirt is perfection. 🎄♥️

Thank you so much. I had so much fun doing this. Scary, but fun.
Great tour. Warm and cosy and stylish!
Enjoyed this video so much, lovely home and Sara is very sweet. I laughed at her expression when she said her kitchen always looks this way.
Definitely one of your best videos .. she is a natural! Wonderful tour guide, so to speak, and a very instinctively talented creative person.
Your home is beautiful! I, too, love New England, but I also love how you added some southern touches to your Christmas decor. Thanks so much for sharing.
I love her! Great style and very interesting backround.
Another great video of a stunning home. I love what they've done to the home. My grandparents lived in a four square home. Such a great design. 😊
This was a very enjoyable tour. You have a beautiful, stylish home but make it family friendly too. Thank you for sharing your home.
This home is absolutely gorgeous and I'm happy to see it decorated at Christmas 🥰. All the little details really makes it stunning. I love the older home layouts, there's lots of wall space for art unlike open floor plans.
What a beautiful home. Well done! As a designer I've used F&B Light Blue on 3 different client's bedrooms and also my own. You're right, the color changes constantly and I absolutely love it. But I think F&B missed the mark on the name of the paint. My thought is that it was a Friday at 5PM, they had one more paint color to name and they all agreed on Light Blue just so they could go home. But I love the color. Good choice!
Love your home, it's so beautiful and apparently well thought out! Before I watched, I was looking at the photos and zooming in on the art because I was so loving it ( I then realized it was your photography ) your husband was right you nailed it!!💖👏😊👍
What a lovely lady and a lovely home. She is obviously very talented.
How wonderful! I enjoyed hearing her thoughts and self-expression - such wonderful taste!
Beautiful, charming host. Thank you.
Yay! A Bostonian. I live in Amesbury, MA. Thirty miles North of Boston. In a new colonial style home also but built in 1998.
The landing made my jaw drop!! Stunning!
Beautiful home and the presentation by the home owner was thorough and enjoyable.
Loved this episode, the homeowner has created such a beautiful home for her family 💕
I am going to adopt the Hi-Low-Ha tradition for our dining table conversation starter. I love this idea.
Beautiful home. Love the photography pieces. Great design ideas. Thank you for sharing! 😊👍💜
A delightful, warm, and engaging guide. Thank you for showing us your home.
Really enjoyed this tour and the mix of modern photography and art into a historic home!
One of my fav home tour ❤
I love her fresh take on an old home! And I especially enjoyed the photography in this house. Fun fact @SWinchesterStudios I took. modern art class from Pradip Malde when I was at Sewanee. So great to see his work in your home!

Beautiful! She’s done an amazing job even though she admits as to asking her designer friends for help. Her home is a reflection of her family and her love of photography and art. She’s very authentic and lovely. Thank you!
Gorgeous home, gracious host. Thank you! Fell in love with Magnolia as well
It seemed the videographer was in training... not the usual Homeworthy level of quality/editing, although the content was noteworthy and entertaining. Thanks.
Love her Style!!🙌🙌💓🙏🙏🥰
Beautiful! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR HOME..BLESSINGS
I'm so confused, 1987 is not an old home. Now 1772 is an old home! None the less, it is a lovely home. I live in MA and Chestnut Hill is a nice place to live.

Yes, Cameron arrives and I totally misspoke. The home is actually 1897. I cringed when I heard myself say that as I watched it this morning 🫠
I love our beautiful home , the Christmas tree is gorgeous , I love you you Christmas decoration ,
Library? There’s hardly any books! It’s a small dark TV room:). Very cute modest home- I do love her passion for her home and thanks for sharing
What a beautiful home! I love the stories being told and the Christmas decoration great job!
I am just loving the skirt!❤ love the Christmas theme as well.
I love the home and the design approach, and especially appreciate Sarah's photography and the art collection. I mean no offense when I say that I liked this channel's shorter format better. I like to move through the space rather than sit in one place and chat.

I know, right!! ❤ I have seen you frequently comment on Homeworthy’s channel for a few years now. I always like and agree with all of your gracious comments. It’s good to see someone who loves these tours as much as I do. Some tours are a little overly obsessed with expensive brand exposure. However, that’s the exception to the rule for this channel. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for your positive attitude in your posts. ❤ Hopefully you & your loved ones have a blessed and awesome holidays! ❤🌲🎄❤

Thank you so much for your gracious words merry Christmas to you and your family and hopefully we can enjoy each other’s comments for many episodes to come 😄🫶🏽🎄😚
I love this home and I love Sarah! She did such a great job showing us around and i love that she was so real and funny and down to earth. I now have "permission" to store my grandchildren's playthings in IKEA cabinets in a small section of my living room that I devoted to them. Your wall color choices are perfect and your home is so cozy and inviting. I'd cry too if i could sit in that library, watch a movie with my little girl and look over at that gorgeous tree!
Adorable tour! Love her and love her house... also: where is that fabulous skirt from? ❤

Love her home and the beautiful lush Christmas decorations
100% my style. The mix of traditional and funky modern art/pieces. Laz Caan is a another Boston Designer who gets this mix.
What library has so few books and that too just coffee table ones? So much potential for the space lost
I'm wondering if she meant 1887. Regardless, this house is stunning!
