They often aren’t in working order. I have some; one slides well, one doesn’t. For that reason, I cannot use them (yet). The last house I was in had them too. It was c 1898. The pocket doors worked but banged a bit upon opening, squeezed, and barely fit. I think they were made a bit short. For that reason, they weren’t super convenient. I had stripped them partially and had to sell the house. Wonder if they remained, but I hope so!

This is not a house, but a dream. It is exactly what I dream of having, everything original, so much wooden details.... splendid!

I am SO GLAD you took the time to speak about why all the woodwork on the second floor is painted. That is the number one thing that irks me about older homes with beautiful woodwork. Every single time a home goes on the market, somebody decides it will look cleaner and brighter and bigger for prospective buyers if they slap white paint everywhere. I live in an area that has so many gorgeous old homes, but finding one with original, unpainted woodwork is nearly impossible. SO...after seeing all that SPECTACULAR woodwork on the first floor, I would have been grinding my teeth if you hadn't taken the time to explain why the second floor is painted. (I learned something, too.) Thank you. This home has truly wonderful original details. What a gem! Extraordinary.

I live in the US but on the west coast and it's expensive to live here. It's amazing you can get a beautiful home like this full of character for what a normal house, albeit a nice one would cost in the west.

Forty two years ago, I looked at a Queen Ann home that I wanted so badly. It had stayed in the family since it was built. It was in wonderful shape despite it’s age, and had a third floor ballroom,and the original cistern in the basement. It still had the original carriage house, and hitching post in the front of the house. I have never forgot about it, but I’m too old now to take care of it. At the time, it was at $84,000.

Did I watch this tour a second time? Yes, I absolutely did.

There are no words to describe the beauty! I never thought that I would leave my birth land for any other, however, this home spoke to my very soul! Oh, how I would love to live here! Thank you, Elaine, and may the Lord always shine his light on you!

OMG! Your killin me small's! This would be beyond my dream home! I've never seen one as stunning as this gorgeous lady. I actually was expecting the price to be closer to one million. Thank you for sharing and letting me drift away into a dream and another time. 💖💜💖

Wow! Living in a town that has a preponderance of these types of houses, I’m impressed by the attention to detail. Someone once told me (who owns one of these houses) that a true Victorian has at least 4 different paint colors on the exterior. Most of the houses like this in my town have been converted into apartments and office spaces.
