In love with your plant nook.


RCProAm

That thing is really cool. It drains to the earth and there’s a faucet with a hose in the middle so you can water right from it. 


[deleted]

Wow that sounds super convenient. I would love to find a house with that feature specifically! Taking notes :)


[deleted]

Ok, I wanna sit on the couch when it’s facing all the windows. I’d never leave. Just gimme my crochet bag and leave me the f alone. Maybe leave some wine.

👏👏👏👏

It's beautiful! You guys have done an incredible job making it a home.


RCProAm

Thank you!


downwithdisinfo2

Well…this is one of the best posts on this sub ever. And if home is where the heart is…we all know where yours resides. Fantastic job.


Small-Disaster939

Omg it’s beautiful


foxorhedgehog

Whew in New England? Because I’m visiting you. Jk!


RCProAm

Ipswich MA! 


NoIndividual5987

Now I need fried clams


foxorhedgehog

I’m in Beverly lol


RCProAm

Wow, small world! I love the North Shore. 


foxorhedgehog

Me too!


procrastinatorsuprem

I live the North Shore too. So great to drive around and see the awesome houses.


Stars_Falling_93

Living in a very densely populated country, the views make me jealous. Over here you'd have to be a multimillionaire to have such an unobstructed view. You stayed really true to the house with the furniture and decoration. Enjoy!


Dlynne242

That is a GEM! Congratulations!


Friend98

Beautiful! How many square feet. Was there a bidding war over it?


RCProAm

Main house is 2800 square feet and it has a 900 sq foot mother in law cottage. 


RefugeefromSAforums

Do you need a MIL? Asking for a friend (me). Also, did the house come with that awesome outdoor fireplace (Preway?)or did you have to scour the whole of the northeast for it?


RCProAm

Haha my actual mother in law lives in that cotta, so it’s spoken for 😂 Ironically I only had to go as far as my neighbor who shares the driveway. The fireplace was sitting outside next to a barn along with old scrap windows and siding and I was like 👀. The guy who care takes the property just gave it to me 😮


RefugeefromSAforums

Whoa that's awesome, true New England frugality!


JackNewton1

Ok. *Very* cool. How much you have into it?


RCProAm

Less than you might think. It was in really rough shape when we got it. Biggest expenses have been refinishing the exterior and the floors. And buying those blinds, and I’m convinced the window treatment market is a racket 


londerliz

I used to sell window treatments and you’re right, it is a racket.


CandyPitiful9541

I love the blinds I have never seen them before. Can you tell me who makes them? I have a very large double sliding glass door that I would like to cover them with. Not thrilled with shutters that were recommended or drapes.


RCProAm

Ok so that was one of the best purchases I made. I agonized over it, and I paid a small fortune for them, but thise are the hunter Douglas duolite honeycomb shades.  There’s more than one shade for each of those sliders which allows me to configure them in cool patterns. The shades on the solarium are hunter douglas woven wood shades with an interoperable honeycomb shade behind the woven wood (for energy efficiency and added light control) .  https://www.hunterdouglas.com/enhancements/duolite


Queen__Antifa

Look for “top-down bottom-up shades”. I’m pretty sure that’s what these are. You can order them at Lowe’s, in the window treatment department. They’ll tell you all about them and show you models and stuff.


SquatBetty

Holy cats!! I fell in love with the sunken jungle, and then I saw THE DOORS TO THE OUTDOORS!!!!!!! I think I literally might have passed out there for a second. Congratulations, this place is AMAZING!!!!


RCProAm

Thank you!!! The doors to the outside are one of the best features of the house. They are custom old steel frame doors and they are too hung so all the weight is in the ceiling. Although floor to ceiling glass is not efficient for New England so my oil bill is 😱


SquatBetty

OMG and you are in New England TOO??? You truly Have It All. Hope you can hear the applause coming all the way from the south shore of Long Island!


RCProAm

We are blessed 🙏🏻 Thank you so much! 


Bonewax

Other than the snow, I love it. Beautiful home.


Usual-Instruction473

Your home is absolutely stunning, congratulations!

It’s really stunning. Congratulations to you!


RCProAm

Thank you!!


MissyMAK08

those sliders!


RCProAm

They are super cool. Steel frame and top hung like sliding barn doors. 


TigerMcPherson

Jeeeezeeee


OwlSimilar7129

Can I be you please


InvestigatorOver3869

Absolutely stunning!


Beached-Bum

I’m mentally squatting in your home, lol. Your home is truly one of dreams!! Enjoy!!


RCProAm

Thank you!


UGunnaEatThatPickle

Lovely!


bigdrummy47

Put that fireplace back inside the house, where it belongs! /s A beautiful house, and good on you for bringing it back from hoarder hell.


RCProAm

I want to put that fireplace in the kitchen. The kitchen was redone before we bought it and while it’s nice, it is like country farm house style so not in keeping with the rest of the house. We have a classic wood stove in there now but it’s just not right 


bigdrummy47

If you ever do, be sure to post it here. It looks cool on the patio, too, though.


NoIndividual5987

The stone fireplace in the living room is nothing to sneeze at… what a beauty!


rickncn

Stunning! Jealous!


ImGoingToSayOneThing

Dear. Fucking. Lord.

Between the sunken plant heaven, massive doors to the backyard and the dreamy views of the land, absolutely stunning 🤩


Garden_Espresso

Beautiful! Inside & out !


ddbxlady

Beautiful home, Congratulations!! Enjoy, those windows and views are amazing!


yankeecandle1

That is my dream house! How did you find it?!


TominatorXX

OMG


MaximumTurtleSpeed

Just wondering, do you happen to be in the market for a handy husband, roommate or … I donno, pet dad (I come with my own pets too). Just thought I’d ask.


sotiredwontquit

This is perfection. Do you have a floor plan? Even a rough one? I’m rehabbing a Queen Anne and I’m financing my forever home with the sweat equity in this one. But I *really* want my forever home to be MCM.


RCProAm

I will dm you


ZealousidealEar6037

You are living my dream! Thanks for sharing, your home is beautiful 🤩


RCProAm

Thank you!


Drinkythedrunkguy

Awesome!


londerliz

This is absolutely beautiful! You did an amazing job bringing this home back to its original glory. The views are stunning. Congratulations!


RCProAm

Thank you!


quickpear475

Stunning 👏👏👏


Stlhhi-629

The house and the setting…it’s just beautiful. Great job.


randaloo1973

Truly stunning. Good work!!! Especially the pattern you vacuumed into the couch!!! A little obsessive...I love it. It changes a person to live in side a piece of living history.


HouseOfBamboo2

Stunning! Lucky YOUUUU!!!


BBZ_star1919

Wow. Just amazing!


NeedSomeRepairs

Well you lucky bastard!!!! I’m jealous as f**k!


phdpinup

This is so fantastic!


Dizzy_Cardiologist_9

Bravo, looks very good !


marriedwithchickens

You are lucky, and the house is lucky to have appreciative owners! In the outdoor photo with the fireplace, at first glance, I thought I saw some kind of chickens until I realized they were someone’s feet withcolorful socks and foliage that looked like a beak!


RCProAm

That's funny. We are definitely going to get a coop when the boys are a little more grown and the time is right.


marriedwithchickens

Chickens are great, but there are many ups and downs. I've had backyard chickens for 12 years, and I am still reading and learning. Make sure you research before getting them. Here are fun facts: [Chickens are Intelligent](https://www.legalimpactforchickens.org/blog/chickens-are-smarter-than-you-think#:~:text=Memory%3A%20Studies%20have%20shown%20that,after%20months%20of%20being%20separated) There are studies and other articles online.


lurkmoardotcom

Where’d you get that floor lamp with the white shade that has the wooden legs? Beautiful pad!


RCProAm

Thank you! That’s a West Elm lamp


FattierBrisket

It's beautiful!!


WhereRweGoingnow

Simply put: stunning! What a gorgeous home and property. I am in love with the plant space! Be very proud. What a dream home!


brassia

Wow that is just stunning! I’m so jealous! So many amazing details. Congrats!


prescientpretzel

Wow!!!


Cosi-grl

It is stunning and so worth the work and money you had to put in.


duckyducky5dolla

BEAUTIFUL! Very jealous finding a gorgeous home in Ipswich. My wife and I are restoring a untouched 2100sqft campi in West Peabody


RCProAm

Very cool! Yes, it's hard to find anything remotely affordable in this area. We got very lucky. Good luck on your restoration. Did you mean "camp" or is "Campi" an architect?


duckyducky5dolla

Campi is short for Campanelli, or Campanelli Brothers - who were a family of developers from Brockton know for their mid century ranch communities. Very interesting history - local too!


RCProAm

Wow very cool. Thanks for sharing. 


LKayRB

Shut up that house and property are GORGEOUS! Great purchase OP!


elegant_pangolin609

It’s so hard to watch someone else live my dream! What a beautiful house 😍


Jacob520Lep

Is the kitchen as incredible as the rest?


RCProAm

Unfortunately not. It is very nice, don't get my wrong, but it was rebuilt into a bit of a kitchy country farmhouse aesthetic and so is not at all in keeping with the rest of the design. We added some stools that are bringing it in the right direction: https://preview.redd.it/0nsl14f21wsc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e36c38a54da3ebc5ed1ee1dff37e311fc4a43f8a When we redid the floors, we found the original blue tile underneath the floor, and it was this bright blue mid-century-looking tile. It was very cool but not salvageable. I'm hoping we will eventually have the wherewithal to redo the kitchen and primary bedroom.


Lindaspike

Jealous! Insanely jealous!


causamd

Wishing you many wonderful years in your vey beautiful new home.


bandley3

That is absolutely gorgeous. It looks like the house of my dreams.


karebear66

OMG. You got the house of my dreams. You even have a period correct fireplace as a chiminea!! My friends with an MCM house have an in-ground planter, too. CONGRATULATIONS


pinkgemprincess
