This 1889 home in Little Falls, NY gives me the heebie jeebies. It has 9bds, 6ba, 18,000 sq ft, $1.5m.

It's a huge house.

All of the wood is original. I see that there are pocket doors and the floors look original.

The first reception room is painted black, but it looks nice. The house is in pretty good shape, but it's not without some work that will be need to be done and rooms that need to be refreshed.

The rooms are very large.

And, some are lighter than others. The fireplaces are original, but they may not work.

The dining room is beautiful. It's so large, lighter than some of the other rooms, and has wood paneled walls.

The kitchen is commercial, but it's not b/c the house was a business, it was likely b/c the large family had a chef and a staff.

I don't know where this bar comes in, but it's nice. Love the ceiling.

This looks like part of a very large room with stairs that go behind the fireplace.

Some of the bedrooms get more light than others. This one has a nice fireplace.

And, this one has pretty teal tiles on the fireplace.

The bedrooms are all very large, but this one looks like the primary.

Here's one of the baths. It's large and very vintage. It really looks original.

Another large bedroom. This home has a lot of round rooms, which is nice.

A small shower room also looks vintage.

This bedroom has a 2nd room with a door to the roof.

This is the entrance to the attic.

I'm not sure if it's just this room or the whole attic.

This is a nice room, but it's used for storage.

The attic is finished and is a very large space.

There're some rooms in the basement and this one has a nice brick fireplace.

There's also a 3 car garage with a Tudor home on the property.

It's pretty nice.

There're 14.85 acres of land, so it's a large property.

I wonder if they took this ominous photo for a reason.

Such a lovely, welcoming estate that they call a textile villa. I don't know what that is, except that the owner worked in textiles. The home was built in 1906 in the Netherlands, as a country home, but the family loved it so much that they decided to stay permanently, so the owner built an office wing and worked from home in 1916. 3bds, 3ba, 6,404.53 sq ft, Price On Request (Must be staggering.)

The house is just as lovely as ever. I don't think I've seen a wallpapered sun porch before. The flooring is orignal.

Isn't this a beautiful sitting room? Look at the unusual fireplace. The mirror is set into the actual hooded mantle and the bricks make a red & black striped pattern.

That light fixture! It doesn't come furnished, but those soft green velvet chairs just make you want to settle in.

Muraled wallpaper in this room is so inviting. And, look at the chandelier.

Spacious kitchen in soothing green tones. Look at that stove and matching hood.

The dining room has built-in storage with a fireplace on one wall. I love the soft pink and how the wallpaper ties in with the furnishings.

They chose to ignore the orange tile on the fireplace, keeping it original rather than replacing it. My mother was a designer and it's not unusual to simply ignore certain elements like carpet color, etc. and proceed with the chosen color scheme. But, note how the flames and a few orange glass bottles pull those colors in.

This rustic lounge is amazing. The plants complement the colors of the velvet fabrics.

The wonderful wallpaper extends out to the hall.

A surprise at the top of the stairs- I didn't expect a library. What a great idea.

Very spacious primary bedroom with an original built-in cabinet. How cozy. Love the fireplace and how they closed it off with decorative tile.

Big, beautiful remodeled bath.

The stylized vintage/modern soaker tub was the perfect choice.

Love this spacious rosy room with a door to a pretty porch.

This home is so beautiful. (And, it's not gray or white.) Look at this wonderful little retreat-for-one to sit, read, and relax beneath a gorgeous chandelier.

They kept the original tile in the back hall off the kitchen and prettied it up with beautiful wallpaper.

And, we're back at the sun room/conservatory with the doors open to the patio.

Beautiful patio and gardens.

The approx. 12.9 acre grounds are partially open to the public to enjoy, with boundaries. A number of places are private, fenced off, and expressly closed to visitors. The fen, for example, they kept to themselves, to swim and relax at the water's edge (well, it is their home, so is there an electrified fence or what?). The current owners are on good terms with the residents of the town: “They have seen how the metamorphosis of the estate and the villa took place and appreciate that they are allowed to walk and cycle here.”

Would you, as the new owner, allow them to continue? (They damned well better throw me a welcoming party first.)
