What they did with it is incredible! This is what it looks like now…
Built in 1887, the house was considered dangerous because it seemed to collapse at any moment.
When people wanted to buy this great ruin, they didn’t even bother to think about it, but that all changed when locals Jim and Jean Leaman stepped in.
After watching the condition of the house deteriorate over the decades, the retired couple’s love of classical architecture in the form of ruins inspired them to purchase the house.
After five years of daily work on the house, they managed to transform the ruins into a magical place that we can all call home.
The transformation is almost unreal! But wait until you see the inside…
This is what the house looked like in the beginning.
But this is what it looked like after the restoration.
The interior will take your breath away.
It looks like something straight out of a Harry Potter movie.
The floors are made from five different wood species and a rainbow of colors shine through the glass panels.
Each of the five bedrooms on the second floor is uniquely decorated and has a special charm.
But this little room in the attic is the perfect place for an office!
What it looked like and what he did with it is truly hard to believe.
It took a lot of work, time and money, but he transformed the ruins into a comfortable and warm home.
