I live 5 minutes from this house, and I used to drive by in awe of it’s historical glory. They really have made it sparkle again.

So wonderful to see people RESTORE old homes like this rather than buying an old building, gutting it, and turning it into something completely modern without all of its character.

This could have been 45 minutes long and I would have loved every second. LOVE how they saved and restored so much!!

Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle I hope you become the one ☺️

This is how most supernatural/horror movies start. They are brave souls…although the husband looks like he is little frightened and has seen things he isn’t telling anyone about. All joking aside, I agree with a previous comment that this should be it’s own series. They did a beautiful job renovating the house (kitchen and bathrooms are perfect!) and refurbishing the furniture. I like that they didn’t overdo it on modernizing the entire house, and they kept a great portion of the original details.

Love the restoration work and that they did not build a “new” home and kept its structure. Houses like these are built to last.

This could honestly be its own series.

Part off the reason their home increased in value so much is that the area has grown immensely in recent years. They did a fantastic job!

What a killer restoration! I'm amazed you could do it for that price. I've seen plenty of money pits that $500k would barely scratch. Fantastic job guys!

As a North Carolinian I am so proud of what you’ve accomplished! God bless you and your family in this lovely old home!

They nailed the stain of the wood throughout... that dark walnut looks killer on that house. Great job guys!

$268,000 restoration cost??? WOW!!! That is amazingly affordable. Looks absolutely amazing 😊✌🏼

Honestly before purchasing the home they should have done like a background check on the family that previously lived there, I mean why was the house dormant for 40 years 🤔 something must have been wrong with the house. Also I would never use furniture from the previous owners whether it looks reusable no thank you, people or spirits tend to always attach themselves to something like fav chair or whatever. I would just be overthinking everything. But even modern newly built homes can have the same occurrence if the grounds of the property is cursed.

This is so cool. According to my mother, this was my great grandfather Bishop’s home and she would visit during the summers as a child.

What a beautiful family and a beautiful home 😍💜. I like how intentional they were about keeping/restoring the original design of the house.

Just driving through the Sandhills area of NC, you quickly realize it has some of the best homes in terms of historical architecture. The homes are historical masterpieces from Sanford, Aberdeen, Pinehurst, and others nearby.

Makes me wonder why I have to spend $4.7MM for a house like that in Vancouver......Great job and makes you realize that there is value out there

What a lovely young family! I’m so happy they were able to complete this project and now get to raise their family in this beautiful home.

I remember finding these two when they first bought this house - so excited to see what they’ve done with it

I have to say thank you for saving this jewel. The newer houses cannot compare to these masterpieces with the built in storage cabinets and gorgeous solid wood floors. Great job and this home will give you both many years of happy memories.

What a dream house! They did a beautiful job!

I’m so glad this family saved this beautiful home. It’s so beautiful 😍 I love all the original hardwood features-the staircase is my favorite.

A project like this needs someone to LOVE the property. It's Wonderful this couple has the passion & motivation to take it on.❤

Very nice remodel- i worked on a house that was from that time period (about 3/4s as big) and the foundation, roof, hvac, insulation and electrical were all nightmares. Had to rip off 7 layers of shingles, jack up the house, fix the foundation, pull everything down to the studs and build it back up.

It's truly beautiful! I love that you didn't tear it down, others would have. Phenomenal workmanship!

This is absolutely beautiful! Great job on the renovation!

Beautiful home, great renovation ! God bless.

What an incredible home, gorgeous! God bless you for rescuing that mansion🌹🌹🌹

I sooo appreciate amazing people like you to restomod this amazing home! God bless you both!

It's sooooo beautiful!! I love how they decorated not too much furniture but just enough.

so much fun to see! I am so happy for them, what a great find and save!!! I redid a craftsman house in San Diego and I thought that was one of the most rewarding experiences, so I think I know a bit of what they're feeling.. Congratulations!!!

It's alot of work but can be done. Congrats to you both for working so hard to remodel this beautiful home.

Absolutely gorgeous! I'm so glad that they decided to keep most of the antique furniture that was left behind, even if repurposed for a bathroom sink. People in 1913 purchased their furniture, expecting to use it for their entire lifetime and even their children's lives. Whoever bought it would be thoroughly pleased that it is still being used 110 years later!@

That is a stunning home!! They did a beautiful job restoring it. I love how big all of the rooms are. And, of course, the staircase and floors are the stars of the show!

Love it so peaceful home and the renovations is amazing

this is fabulous. Amazing job. The best part for me is your bathroom. Just adore the twin shower and how you did the wall around it. So unique.....So jealous that you found this amazing home and how you renovated it. Keeping the old furniture and revamping each piece, you must be so proud.....All the very best to your family.....Western Australia

You have made such a lovely forever home and hopefully your children will want to keep in in the family. I applaud you for your foresight and hard work to restore this gem of a home. Thanks, for sharing.

Amazing home! You guys did a fantastic job on that house, it's absolutely Gorgeous, would love to have a house like that. So glad it wasn't torn down. The architecture and character of the house is so wonderful. Your house should be in a magazine.

I love old homes like these. They feel cozier and with personality.

This is amazing! What a lovely house and great work restoring it and keeping the original charm. Very tasteful and classic.

You guys are amazing, not just save the houseboat the furnishings as well... AMAZING! Beautiful work.

They did an amazing job! So beautiful!

Wow 😯 you guys did a beautiful job . I’m so happy when people renovate old homes that have so much character instead of buying new homes that all look the same .

Omg what a fantastic labor of love, especially the furniture. Beautiful home,I love NC❤️

Beautiful & Kudos for keeping & incorporating the antiques 😊

This is a real treat. Amazing restoration and preservation effort. Easily a forever home.

You did a fantastic job on the renovation. Your home is just beautiful. I hope you enjoy many happy years there. It's such a wonderful legacy for you and your children ❤

I love when people restore beautiful, graceful, old houses.

OMG, love this house, so beautiful!!!

It may be the first time that I love how the renovation stays true to the character of the house and the original woods and furniture❤❤❤

Beautiful remodel. Gorgeous home. Thank you for sharing.

I have nothing but respect for this young couple..!!! To take on that type of task and knock it right outta that ball park is simply amazing!! Well done to you both!! Incredibly beautiful..!!

What a beautiful home. Glad you saved it --so much character and history.

A truly beautiful home! I live in neighboring Richmond County, NC and purchased a home built in 1915! Those that come to visit beg me not to touch the floors since all, but one room, are original and quite beautiful. Over time, I've come to understand their importance to the home. A bit squeaky, but that adds to the charm! The windows were another story though, also original, but they had to go...my winter bills were the best indicator! I hope you enjoy your home as much as I'm sure to enjoy mine! Happy days to you and yours!

Oh I LOVE old homes so much! They will never be able to duplicate those old homes. The character, charm, uniqueness of those old homes just hits my soul…

What an amazing transformation! So richly blessed to be able to raise your family in a home you plan to hand down to your children. A home like yours would be a multi millionaire house here in Southern California.

My family is from Laurinburg! Right down the road!! It is so heartwarming to see life breathed into these older homes.

What an amazing house! Am so thankful you “rescued” it & created your forever home! ENJOY!

I love how they trusted each other with this decision...home ownership and renovations this massive are not for the weak! Beautiful partnership and rewards. Enjoy. 🏡🙏🏾

Amazing couple and home! Something so rare these days. I’m praying God’s blessings on your sweet family. Future updates would be great and about your land and more history about your property. Thank you for sharing ❤️

What a beautiful home. I love the “before” photo shoot too. Congrats on your achievement

Congrats guys, you made that property a dream home even better than what we see on those TV shows. My wife and I are also living in a home that we bought last year. The house is 16 years old and was in a perfect condition but we both had the same feeling when we came in the house the first time we had a visit with the realtor. We were lucky to find it and could reach out a deal with the seller. It's important to feel home when you get home. Enjoy and lots of happy moments for you.

I have only seen this in UK, Ireland, and Scotland. on shows on KZfaq or whatever; One of the few American restoration projects I have seen----do more, do more

The same exact thing happened to the historic home that I grew up in. It had been built by a Gilded Age industrialist, but the family had abandoned it for 17 years. When we pulled up, some swami was cutting a check on the spot to the guy who had bought it from the family, & my Mom told his that he wouldn't accept the money because God intended for her to raise her children in that house. He thought that she was crazy, but she ended up with it. We pt a new roof on it & were forced to replace the coal burning furnace the first winter when it went out & blew coal dust all over the house & Christmas decorations. Then, we redid the kitchen & family room four years later. Three years after that, my parents did a soup to nuts renovation complete with new plumbing & wiring, refinishing the original hardwood floors, & redecorating with reproduction hand-printed wall paper & oriental rugs in every room, & finally they bought a house full of antiques. They were VERY careful to be historically accurate. And, my mother DID raise us in the house. To this day, nothing touches my heart like a historic home that is a diamond in the rough that just needs love & someone who can see beyond the current dilapidation to see the grand old lady that it used to be - oh & DEEP pockets.

it is great that beautiful homes like these are saved and restored

Stunning. Enjoy your home. 😊🇨🇦

What a cool restoration. I like the minimalism and old mixed with new, modern. Thanks for not cluttering it up furniture, paintings, and knick knacks, etc. ; ) Thus, the renovation looks even more spacious with lots of breathing room. I also like that you kept the paint and furnishing neutral colored for the most part without dark paint and dark furniture, thus, making the renovation look even more "light and airy". This renovation reminds me of the 3 story house renovation (the only 3 story house renovation on the show) in Waco, TX on the former Fixer Upper show on HGTV.

They absolutely outdid themselves, seeing how trashed it was. Excellent job.

I grew up just down the road in Rockingham but missed this one somehow. Love older houses because of the charm, architecture and fine construction. What a deal this was...not to mention gorgeous.

You guys are what keeps America great what a wonderful loving family God Bless

Yesssss!! I'm so glad it felt like home and you saved it!! 😊❤❤❤ I love it

Those sinks in the bedroom enabled the occupant to constantly be presentable. Freshening up and dressing for meals, for times someone would call (appear at the door), and constant shaving for men. Period homes in Europe with multiple guest rooms often have a sink in the bedrooms. This frees up the shared bathrooms and keeps those spaces available for bath or toilet use. Currently designers are pushing homeowners to install sinks in boys and guest rooms. A nod to the vintage ways.

Absolutely beautiful what they did with this house. I would have fallen in love with it as well.

What a very pretty place. They have renovated it beautifully.

You both have a wonderful talent!! It's so great seeing the restoration of beautiful properties such as this! We need your touch in Elizabeth City !

Considering all that they accomplished the price and timeline were well done. Excellent job, I'm sure the original builders/owners would be proud.

Stunning job restoring the old house, I applaud your efforts and a for doing a great job !! Love what you've done !

Absolutely beautiful! You guys did an awesome job. Stunning!!

Who else was thinking of horror movies in old mansions all through the video

Would love to know which contractor did this for $250k, seems like not nearly enough to cover the amount of work done

Beautiful house so glad you rescued it, when you know you know you just feel it and nothing is going to stop you

What a fabulous house!!! You all did an amazing and beautiful job!!! That staircase is so grand!!! Congratulations on such a special transformation!!!

Do they have a KZfaq channel? I would totally watch them renovate their home. I mean I’m already watching people renovate chateaus in France 😆

What a great couple and they have done such an amazing job and kept this old beauty rather than tear it down like most people! I applaud your vision and what you have achieved

after seeing the tour. its so beautiful inside and out.. lots of work and love.. totally beautiful!

First, Thank you for restoring this beautiful mansion. I can see the love you both put into the renovations. You have done a wonderful job. What a great legacy that you’ve made for your children. Have you thought about opening up your home for touring at certain times of the year? For example, Christmas or one month out of the summer. Charge a fee to recoup some of the money spent on renovations. The history is very interesting and important to the community. Thank you for the tour.

Great home reno keeping a lot of the original but bring it up tp more modern times. Awesome job!

This is the classic haunted mansion stories

Thank you with many blessings for sharing your story!

A job well done! I'm so happy they saved that house - it's absolutely beautiful!

Love this. Great job! Love that you know about the original owners. Any idea who/how such an asset, at the time, got abandoned?

The house started with some good bones! I always love restorations, old made new.

THANK YOU for saving this old gem. Enjoy your beautiful home!

Wow! It's beautiful! We are in the middle of living in our farmhouse while renovating. It's so encouraging to see your finished house. It's gorgeous!

looks like a plantation to me

Absolutely gorgeous! I love it! I wonder if they had any mold issues in the home, though. Did it need mold mitigation? That would be my biggest concern.

That's gorgeous no wonder yall fell in love with it and it's a Home you can pass down to your children...Im rooting for yall...I love seeing others who love and restore old homes especially like this ❤

You did an amazing job. It looks very homey and grand at the same time. Make many wonderful memories in your forever home.

I love your story and love your house. You did a beautiful job bringing her back to life. I wish you vlogged the entire renovation.

I'm so happy to see someone who wants to restore old homes instead of just building something new.
