I love to hear a professional say they love traditional architecture.
Coming home every day to a home like that would truly feel like a vacation after work

@@uovostudio4985 ...your reverence of that "little card" was just so spiritual ... however, it shall not be passed on too soon, what a spectacular labor of love, cheers and much continued success in all you endeavor!
It's crazy to think that this house is just 25 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Such a peaceful place😍
This house is so beautiful so cozy so collected. I’m in love with it. I love how there isn’t a single place that hasn’t been touched or thought about. It is my goal to have a loved, historical home like this. Love love love
Now this gentleman has taste and great style. Well done.
What a treasure of a home. I love the seclusion, greenery, flora and the beautiful roof tiles shing in the sun. He did a wonderful job of making it an inviting place to live. Billie is cute too.
Oh my goodness. This is one of the dreamiest homes I've ever seen on KZread. And the gardens as well!!!! Jaw drop. Absolutely classic and a home like this will never age.

It’s a selling stipulation that nothing can be repainted gray.
I love that he spoke about choosing pieces that match the era and aesthetic of the house and its architecture! I love when architects and interior designers have a passion for restoring homes like these and bringing them back to life.

This is my absolute favorite house ever. So beautiful. So charming.
More than an Architect, Gary Brewer really understands the true meaning of architecture and brings it to life.
What a gorgeous house.
I feel I saw this before and commented, but I love your home and design style. It’s so refreshing to hear of an architect NOT going with modern white boxes of Glass.
What a thoughtful and talented homeowner! He really is a steward. One of the most beautiful and inspiring homes I’ve ever seen.
An antidote the poison of much of modernism. Really lovely and exactly what a home should be: a complete sanctuary and refuge from the world outside. Thank you so much for your championing of traditional architecture!

Glad KZread promoted this to me. I saved the original Ramsa upload and went to show my wife and it had vanished. Been looking everywhere for this. Thanks for reposting.
Your House is an absolute jewel ! Great Great and beautiful work Mr Brewer
What a thoughtful human. The place he has created feels like a reflection of his sweet zest for life. Life generating for me. The home gives me a feeling that everything is going to be okay. Delightful.
Oh, my word!!! Stewardship: This is how I feel about my 1907 demi cottage in Denver. I was lucky enough to find and reno my home so it will (hopefully) stay around for another few generations. Gary, your home is beautiful and loved and charming. Thank you for sharing it on a Monday morning before work. I'm in heaven.

Thank you for watching and sharing your story!
I'm an earth tone and neutral girl, but this happy bright home is stunning. The gardens, along with the houseplants, are so complimentary to the lovely color schemes.
I am a designer, and I can say with responsibility - this is one of the most beautiful houses presented on KZread. Especially the garden and outdoor areas! It's pure joy to watch - I've watched the video a few times and paused a lot, lol, and I'll probably do it again :-). It reminds me of my own space, I have very similar tastes to Mr. Brewer. It must be hard to give up such a beautiful house, but on the other hand - it is more of a family home; too big for one person and a cute medium-sized doggie. I wish Mr. Brewer could meet receptive buyers who would fall in love with the house and the place as he once did, and after selling the house he found a beautiful place where he would like to live.

Astonishing. Thank you for letting us in to your thought process of collecting and enjoying. Somehow, with all the goods that you have collected, and are living with, you don’t act like a hoarder. You are someone who is treating the things that you live with as if they were museum pieces but you’re also living with them. Wonderful.

Stunning. What a magnificent, beautiful home. Love the Arts and Crafts style and this home speaks to the soul!
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous home. Great job Gary!!! It is one of the nicest homes I have ever seen. I would take the " just like my Grandma's" comment as a big compliment as it is a welcoming, relaxing, and loving home. I couldn't be more jealous. 😉 And your dog...ugh what a cutie.

What a wonderful job you’ve done with this house. The interior is so charming, I especially like the kitchen. The exterior details and the yard are fantastic as well. I must have taken 20 screenshots. There’s so much to see and I couldn’t take it all in!
30.March.2024 . You, Mr. Gary Brewer, are a delightful person. I also especially LOVE your kitchen and the little dining-area beside the kitchen. They are CHARMING !! I love it when designers keep the lovely ambiance of an elderly gem of a house . Well done !!!

I was born in Yonkers & all my moms family were from there. Dad was from the Bronx. Love love love Wave Hill. Anywho we lived closer to the highpoint Sacred Heart Monastery. Remember going to Untermyers as a kid. My grandparents lived on North Broadway. Can still see all the beautiful mansions. Moved to a brand new house in NJ but always loved all the old Tudors & all the great stonework. Your home is lovely ❤️🏡

I’m serious you have done an absolutely breathtaking job now. It’s got a lot of stuff which I think actually takes away from all the beautiful work that you’ve done to bring the house back to its original or should be original way, but there’s so much stuff stuff, and more stuff!!! that you lose a lot of the beauty that you could be seeing.😢

Park Hill has had spring house tours and my house was on it one year.
Thank you for a truly enjoyable video. I wish so much that homes of this design were readily available to have built. There is so much charm and style inside this property, that it seems magical to me. I adore each room, especially the basement. No basement should be left bare and uninviting. Thank you again! 😊💖🙏🏻
Absolutely love this house! It's a dream...
Wow!!! beautiful and I love the decor. Especially the kitchen. Wow!!! The study and terrace on the second floor - Wow!!! I love all the rooms!!! And the gardens - stunning!!!
