Thank you to the owner of that beautiful MA antique home for allowing us to peek inside. Wonderful video, Linda!

Please do a whole lot of these village tours at Christmas time. The decorated houses will be quite a treat to watch.

Wow! I’m so impressed at the lengths the current owners went to fully restore this gorgeous home.

This house is nothing short of amazing! I would live there in a heart 💓beat!

Such a beautiful house and grounds. That was a fun tour, can't wait to see more.

Beautiful house, but I still love your house more!!!!!!!!

I agree, I like the current home much better!

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon with one of my favorite hosts during what I love best is touring ole homes. Thanks for taking me along. That is an amazing house and whoever is lucky enough to live there I wish them health and happiness.

It’s a beautiful home and I love the grounds but I still love your current home so much more.

Totally agree!

Wow - they took the house apart and moved it! Beautiful job. The yard and gardens had me!

Holy Cow! That house is amazing. Like walking back in time. But as soon as you walked into the garage I noticed all the lawn equipment and various tools and the first thing I thought was “lots of work”! But it was a beautiful tour and the homeowners were so nice to let you film. I loved the tour Linda. Oh and before I forget, you looked adorable in your dress😍😍

I thoroughly enjoyed this Linda. Years ago, in 1976 to be exact, before I bought my land, at Two Lights, in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, I looked at houses and land in Harvard and Bolton. My ancestors had a family farm in Bolton. Such beautiful and serene farm land. This antique home that had been moved is exquisite!!

What a beautiful home! Loved all of the levels, warmth and charm. You make beautiful videos Linda. And it's always nice to come home to Willow ☺️

I love old houses. Looks like such an idyllic spot. I like the rooms in your house better.

What a wonderful old home that was!! I love primitives & have decorated our 80’s home with Primitive & rustic antiques, but I dream in living in a truly antique home ❤️Harvard looks like a charming town !!

So happy that they saved this beautiful home. It is perfect

That was alovely home and setting. Just like you, I have lived in many different homes...and am house hunting right now too. This next home will be my "unicorn home" too. So, thinking on that note...I am paying more attention to levels of home and stairs. Is there a room and bathroom on main floor that could be master bedroom as I age. If you and hubby are planning to be there forever, that room on main level is very important. Surgeries, sickness do occur...so you need good wide door entrances, wide halls....that could accommodate a wheelchair. Also, the upstairs rooms at that adorable home had a lot of twists and turns, small stairwells and a lot of little landings and steps. So quaint and authentic....but would be a really hard workout if hubby or you were sick, on crutches, eyesight not great, etc. If this is forever home and you want a lovely quirky authentic home...then try to visualize where you could put in an elevator in a big closet or even a stairwell electric chair ramp in a back of home stairwell. The grounds were amazing too...and you probably need to figure in grounds upkeep costs in budget. I love creating beautiful gardens...but will I be able to mow, till, trim, plow...or want to...as I age. My hubby spent 4 hours plowing EACH DAY when winter set in. He also cut and hauled wood in for our multiple fireplaces. Think about wood fireplace in one room...gas in others. Also expensive if you want fireplaces going each night. The last suggestion is...ask to see last winter's heating bills....and summer's air conditioning electric bills. Love old homes, love lots of land...but you need to plan how to maintain both...once you cant do it all yourself...if it is to be your forever home. We found out our home's lovely high position on a hill, overlooking sights for miles....meant only one propane company was willing to risk our steep driveway to during winter...and gouged us for deliveries! We were in very rural setting, loved it...but also were last on list of restored utilities each time a snowstorm or summer winds...took out power lines. A generator was purchased as we aged...expensive, but better than hauling water in buckets to flush toilets, trying to close off rooms and heat one area with wood fireplace, etc. At first, it is romantic and brings out pioneer spirit and appreciation of these hearty colonists...but when you hear from authorities that heat and electric will be "out" for 1-2 WEEKS...IT IS NOT SO ROMANTIC! ...which brings up another point...try to get a water source on your land...a pond, a stream...even a working cistern. Life...and our country...can and does change, constantly. If, years from now, you are settled in your unicorn house and well or city water source has problem....you would be so happy to have your own, private secondary source for water. Dont let it be widely known, just let it be a quiet sense of personal security. I once lived in a town where a gas drilling operation polluted the town's water system. There was no other water supply available! Houses hooked up to city utilities had nothing. Water bottles, bags of ice...gone from all grocery stores up to 1 hour away! People with portable home and barn generators had police "confiscating them" for "public buildings" to be used for shelters. ...So much for planning for your own family shelter. Farmers had people tramping on their land, looking for creeks to gather jugs of water. Our colonists knew how to prepare, how to keep some things private...as a way to protect supplies and families in times of great unrest or crisis. We had a small taste of how crazy people can get when folks hoarded toilet paper at beginning of covid pandemic. If your unicorn home is going to be on private, quiet setting...think of a secondary water source, ease of delivery of wood and propane if needed, a secondary heat source like woodstove or fireplace, ability to plow or keep drives open because even if you hire it...doesnt mean it will be dependable help in crisis. Lots to consider and discuss with spouse. I lived 30 years in remote settings...loved it and cherish every memory. But had to sell after hubby's sudden, fatal accident there. I couldnt plow mile long driveway due to my own health disability.. I had to heat our home with wood stove and was stuck alone, taking care of myself, each time storms took out utilities. It was a mile drive, with hills and rough terrain...so I couldnt make even a hike out. With winter and spring winds...I lost electric and cell phone reliability. I spent a winter alone, doing best I could, living from my stored pantry. Spring came, put it on market...finally, in late Fall, sold it all to young couple who were looking for a rural home. Cycles of life, just like seasons....so, now I am looking for my new forever, unicorn home. Want a little bit of country in homestyle and views, but closer to a small town...and nearer to my extended family members, so I can watch little kids growing up and share family times with them.

The house is an old beauty but the stairs are something to consider as one ages. I didn’t care for some of the wallpaper. But the fireplaces and beams etc, wow!!

Awwww! Poor Willow got left behind! This house is gorgeous.❤️🐾

WOW, all that preparation, needed details' planned, and steps followed in order to move that house... It's absolutely glorious. I am sure that it will be sold to a most appreciative and informed buyer. a lovely video 🌞🌸🌼

Such a beautiful home! That was so nice of the owners to let you record. I really enjoyed the tour.

Such a great NE home. There are so many historical homes in NE. I love living here. I know many people hate wallpaper, but it’s so perfect in these historical homes. I love it. I loved the fence outside, rustic log but perfect. Great gardens too. All & all, just fabulous. Thanks for showing it to us.

Thank you for incorporating subtitles into your video and we can see the great little details of this tour!

Loved this! Love the history and charm of colonial New England!

Love the fireplace, mantel ,& wrought iron crane. In the front common room.

I still like your home so much better. Your home is very warm and inviting.

What an absolute delight it was to watch this video. Loved every minute of it : )

So enjoyed our adventure. Thanks! Looking forward to more.

I upholstered the chairs in the beginning of the video; in the kitchen. Lovely home and grounds! It is such a treat going in to the lovely old homes in Massachusetts as part of my job....they are truly inspirational.

What a lovely historic home. Thank you.

Very nice. Loved that sweet little guest bath & wallpaper & the lily of the valley wallpaper. But yes, I like your home more!

Beautiful house. I love your dress as well. It’s wonderful that you have exposed so many great antique shops near your home.

Beautiful. Reminds me of the house in the John Adams series a few years ago. The barn is so sweet. Thanks for sharing this all-American heritage with us. PS I too love a fireplace in the kitchen, I’ve got one in my kitchen here in Paris. Really adds to the atmosphere of a place.

What a fantastic home! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking forward to what you'll have next. Your tours are always great. I love New England.

That trip was glorious! I felt as if I was riding along with you. The property was absolutely spectacular! It was definitely pristine. Thanks, Linda

my favorite video of the month. thank you for sharing and touring the home. I am dreaming ......I want to live there.

Love, love, love. One of my fav things to do when we lived in New England area. Thanks for taking us along!

I really don’t know why you want to leave the beautiful house you have now!

Oh, I really enjoyed the tour, what fun! Please share more of these. Xoxo ☀️🌺🍃

You must buy that house! It's perfection and you would do it such a service.

Beautiful home, love all the nooks and krannies!

Love your dress....Thank you for the tour of an outstanding home.....just beautiful....but love your home as well...

What a beautiful video. I love when we go on little visits like this. Thank you ☺️

What an attractive and charming New England home.... loved it, and the grounds & gardens were breath-taking spaces that one could simply explore & get lost in! Wow... thank you Miss Linda for this tour & many more! Love it! 🌻🤗

Linda..... thank you so much for the tour!! 🤩

Love the mirror on the stand, on the dresser.

Thank you so much for the best tour ever. The home is just beautiful. It’s old but so well loved and tastefully done. My favorite room was the library, just so cozy. I also loved the bedroom with the lilies of the valley wallpaper. The gardens were so nice too! Looking forward to all the great tours you will take us on.

Indoor fireplaces are beautiful, but sadly where we live, are now Illegal to use (unless it is one's ONLY heat source). Our current home was built so that we can 'age in place'; as lovely as the home was that you toured for us, all the up and down stairs/steps would not be that functional when mobility becomes an issue! But it is Gorgeous!

A very beautiful home,and the gardens are fabulous.just nothing like it here in Australia. Keep looking I'm sure you will find your forever home someday.

Great tour of such a lovely home & barn. Linda, you mentioned a king size bed would probably not get up the stairs. Well, I put a California King on my second floor. It comes in pieces ((Sleep Number Bed). No, I don’t sell them. It was very easy for the help to get it up there and then assemble.

So beautiful a mix of the old world and new thanks for the tour awesome

Loved that tour., especially the grounds.. beautiful., looking forward to more…

Thank you for taking us all along. The antique homes have such a special charm. My favorite period in history is before and around the revolutionary war. My taste in architecture is primarily along the lines of Andrea Palladio (I LOVE Palladian windows). One cannot deny the well kept and charm of this lovely property. I wonder if they have ever prepared a meal using those fireplace cranes. I cannot recall his name at the moment but there was a chef famous in Philadelphia with a well known restaurant that did a tv series cooking in homes of the revolutionary period actually following recipes and cooking in fireplaces utilizing the cranes and cast iron cooking pots. He was FABULOUS and it was such a treat to see the historical locations!

You are the perfect New England tour guide! I love living in the southern mountains, but your beautiful historic towns are calling me to visit this fall.

Love the wooden fence. Gorgeous lilacs,

Bonjour Linda, Thank you for the tour. Loved the back yard and the beautiful trees. The garden is so, so gorgeous; loved it !!

Beautiful. Love how careful they were in moving it to the new location.❤️

What a beautiful antique home.... thanks so much for the lovely tour. Glad to hear that you are thinking about buying in New Hampshire ....in my little corner of New Hampshire, which is the south western corner, I have discovered several antique shops, consignment shops, etc. and it’s always fun to peruse and come home with a few treasures. We are also pretty close to Vermont so more road trips are in my future!

The house and grounds are breathtaking ! I really enjoyed this video and hope you will do more of them.

Thanks for the tour Linda. Beautiful landscape & home. I could just imagine how fragrant the air is with Lilacs and Apple blossoms. Can’t wait to tag along on more trips. Willow is so cute!! Good luck finding your home. It happens when you least expect it. Driving around is the best way. You find homes not on MLS. Have a great week. 😎

Wonderful. Thank you!

What a beautiful home. How wonderful there are still people in the world willing to preserve such things. I love that area. My brother and his wife just bought their retirement home not far from there, a 1700's farmhouse that is quite similar, 3 fireplaces, wide plank wood floors, with outbuildings to match. Even though restrictions are keeping us temporarily apart, we love keeping each other abreast as I renovate my 1800's creekside cottage. Love your channel. Can't wait so see more of these lovely old homes.
