Cheap Old Houses the BOOK!

Our home was featured in the book ‘Cheap Old Houses’ by Elizabeth and Ethan Finkelstein, the creative minds behind the popular Instagram account and HGTV show of the same name. This book, which was published on October 10, 2023, is a celebration of affordable historic homes across America.

The Finkelsteins have a remarkable talent for uncovering and celebrating the hidden beauty and historical significance of affordable old homes. Their book is a testament to the charm and potential of these architectural gems, and we are honored that our farmhouse is among the select few highlighted in its pages.

In addition to the book, Elizabeth and Ethan have also recently launched a new TV show, ‘Who is Afraid of a Cheap Old House?’, where they delve even deeper into the stories and transformations of these historic properties. We are excited to see how their new show continues to inspire and educate viewers about the magic and potential of old homes.

Our journey with this house has been one of discovery and transformation. From uncovering original features to carefully restoring its unique character, every step has been a labor of love. Being featured in ‘Cheap Old Houses’ is a validation of our efforts and a reminder of why we fell in love with this historic home in the first place.

We hope our story inspires others to appreciate and preserve the rich history and beauty of old houses. Thank you, Elizabeth and Ethan, for including our farmhouse in your book and for your ongoing work in celebrating the magic of old homes.
