The present owners purchased a house that had been vacant for quite some time after it had been constructed around 130 years ago. Its utilization is truly remarkable! It now appears like this…

Thought to have been built in 1887, this house was in such poor condition that its collapse was imminent. Local retirees Jim and Jean Leaman were considered insane by everyone around them when they opted to purchase this dilapidated home. But they were up for the challenge because they adore its classical architecture.

They labored nonstop for five years building the house, and the end product is breathtaking. They restored the dilapidated mansion to a state of exquisite beauty that any viewer would be enchanted by.

It is nearly astonishing how much has changed! But what they accomplished on the inside is truly shocking…

When they first took possession of the house, it looked like this.

And this is the result of their repairs.

The interior is breathtaking. A scene from a Harry Potter film may easily be its inspiration.

The floors have five distinct wood species, and the windows are adorned with stained glass windows that bring a riot of color.

On the upper level, you’ll find five bedrooms, each with its own distinct personality and charming decor.

The entire space, even the little attic room, has been turned into an ideal workplace!

It took a lot of hard work, time, and money, but they turned the old, crumbling house into a warm and inviting home.
