Grew up in a very similar home, back staircase and all! Ours was built in 1879. Now, as an adult, I have a Victorian built in 1860 that needs a ton of work!

@@howardturner2905 Actually, while the average home cost around 5-8 thousand, depending on the number of bedrooms needed, these little gems were only 4-6 thousand more back then to cover staircases and those stained glass windows. The washroom facilities werent indoor until years later. And you can almost always tell a restroom add-on by the floor having been raised 5-6 inches to accomodate the new pipes for draining as well as hot and cold water feeds. Usually, it was a small bedroom or, nice sized closet that was sacrificed to accomodate the new toilet facilities.

Your home is magnificent! It could be a movie set location...

Gorgeous home! Love the original woodwork and details. It breaks my heart to see many of these homes turned into dingy apartments with painted woodwork. The original elements make these homes distinctive and gracious.

Yes, we have to get approval to do anything outside on the house from the historic society. Not a big deal, but the windows with the pulley and sash cords bug me. Ours has the maids and butlers quarters and you can tell no heating ducts or overhead lighting was ran to that side. The woodworking is phenomenal. I don't even know where we would begin to start. You hate to see when people do a disservice to these old houses.

@Karen Durbin If your mobile home has aluminum wiring (or copper wiring) be sure not to neglect any signs of problems such as flickering lights or non-working outlets. Many mobile home fires are caused by faulty aluminum wiring.

I worked with a female engineer. She (on her own) bought a three story Victorian from the city. They were going to demolish it, or something, so she only had to pay a small fee for the title. Next, by way of mortgage, she paid to have it MOVED! Paid for new wiring and whatnot. It all cost less than a new home. Lastly, she adopted some orphans and lived happily ever after. She told me this around ten years ago and she was getting ready to retire. So, she did all this around forty years ago. She was a very independent lesbian.

Wow! Your home is stunning. Im so glad you kept it period. Truly awesome .

Your home is beautiful never change it

Beautiful home. Thank you... 5 years restoration on my Victorian farm house. Worth every penny and time spent.

Amazing! I can tell you this is one well-preserved, upper middle class Victorian gem! And the woodwork is perfection. It's even more rare that the call box (also known as an 'enunciator') has been preserved. The narrow back stairs, another Victorian classic touch, designed to save space and make sure the residents saw as little of the service staff as possible, would also allow the housekeepers carrying huge baskets of laundry to steady themselves by their elbows on the way down. Thank you for sharing this!

Wonderfully preserved home, it is so fortunate to have so many original features intact and in pristine condition like the light fixtures, call bell/annunciator, butlers pantry cabinets and the fabulous fretwork. Thank you for sharing your beautiful historic home and documenting the historic features. I hope you can work with a local historical society or town/city to make sure this home stays forever preserved by receiving a designation as an historically protected building or a granting an exterior and interior preservation easement.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. GOOD HEALTH TO ENJOY. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING. CAMILLE AUST.

You have the house my husband and I had always wanted. My childhood home was built in 1880 but it looked nothing like this as it was a row house in Pennsylvania. Thank you so much for such a wish come true tour.

What a charming house! I grew up in a Victorian and every house around us was different. It was fun playing hide and seek at different kids houses. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one with so many details intact. Particularly the spandrels - the decorative woodwork between rooms. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love Victorian homes!! I’m impressed with the stained glass windows in the entry doors, Parkay floors and the ornate woodwork fixtures in the doorways

What a lovely old home! Thank you for sharing this with us. It must be a wonderful place to live each day. I love that third floor. :)

I love the older orate homes. Thank you for sharing

Very nice. The lighter woodwork makes it more cheerful than other older houses.

Makes me miss my 1905 Tudor Victorian Home like yours it had 17 rooms . We bought it back to life with its original grandeur ( meaning cleaned woodwork, re- attached lights and toiled endlessly day & night for 9yrs) it was absolutely gorgeous when attached & restored her original hardwares from the basement. We loved it so very much . Seeing the love & devotion you both have kept in your home makes my heart feel warm, cozy and things are alright. Your home is glorious from your front door to the inside. Those foyer entries says alot especially those staircases...at Christmas & Holiday's those homes just beamed ....Hallelujah!! I'm proud of you both I love it❤.
