I love to hear a professional say they love traditional architecture.
Coming home every day to a home like that would truly feel like a vacation after work
couldn't agree more!
@@uovostudio4985 ...your reverence of that "little card" was just so spiritual ... however, it shall not be passed on too soon, what a spectacular labor of love, cheers and much continued success in all you endeavor!
It's crazy to think that this house is just 25 minutes away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Such a peaceful place😍
More than an Architect, Gary Brewer really understands the true meaning of architecture and brings it to life.
This house is so beautiful so cozy so collected. I’m in love with it. I love how there isn’t a single place that hasn’t been touched or thought about. It is my goal to have a loved, historical home like this. Love love love
Now this gentleman has taste and great style. Well done.
I am a designer, and I can say with responsibility - this is one of the most beautiful houses presented on CZcams.
Especially the garden and outdoor areas! It's pure joy to watch - I've watched the video a few times and paused a lot, lol, and I'll probably do it again :-). It reminds me of my own space, I have very similar tastes to Mr. Brewer.
It must be hard to give up such a beautiful house, but on the other hand - it is more of a family home; too big for one person and a cute medium-sized doggie.
I wish Mr. Brewer could meet receptive buyers who would fall in love with the house and the place as he once did, and after selling the house he found a beautiful place where he would like to live.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the kind words.
@@GLB105 You are welcome; good luck with everything!
Breath takingly beautiful well done.❤
Astonishing. Thank you for letting us in to your thought process of collecting and enjoying. Somehow, with all the goods that you have collected, and are living with, you don’t act like a hoarder. You are someone who is treating the things that you live with as if they were museum pieces but you’re also living with them. Wonderful.
Thank you for watching!
What a treasure of a home. I love the seclusion, greenery, flora and the beautiful roof tiles shing in the sun. He did a wonderful job of making it an inviting place to live. Billie is cute too.
What a gorgeous house.
I love that he spoke about choosing pieces that match the era and aesthetic of the house and its architecture! I love when architects and interior designers have a passion for restoring homes like these and bringing them back to life.
We agree!
Oh my goodness. This is one of the dreamiest homes I've ever seen on CZcams. And the gardens as well!!!! Jaw drop. Absolutely classic and a home like this will never age.
Thank you for watching!
It’s a selling stipulation that nothing can be repainted gray.
This is my absolute favorite house ever. So beautiful. So charming.
I feel I saw this before and commented, but I love your home and design style. It’s so refreshing to hear of an architect NOT going with modern white boxes of
Glass.
Glad CZcams promoted this to me. I saved the original Ramsa upload and went to show my wife and it had vanished. Been looking everywhere for this. Thanks for reposting.
Stunning. What a magnificent, beautiful home. Love the Arts and Crafts style and this home speaks to the soul!
What a thoughtful and talented homeowner! He really is a steward. One of the most beautiful and inspiring homes I’ve ever seen.
I'm an earth tone and neutral girl, but this happy bright home is stunning. The gardens, along with the houseplants, are so complimentary to the lovely color schemes.
This house is the most beautiful and inviting home I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing.
An antidote the poison of much of modernism.
Really lovely and exactly what a home should be: a complete sanctuary and refuge from the world outside.
Thank you so much for your championing of traditional architecture!
Thank you for your message!
Oh, my word!!! Stewardship: This is how I feel about my 1907 demi cottage in Denver. I was lucky enough to find and reno my home so it will (hopefully) stay around for another few generations. Gary, your home is beautiful and loved and charming. Thank you for sharing it on a Monday morning before work. I'm in heaven.
Thank you for watching and sharing your story!
A beautiful and wonderfully decorated home. I would never choose Ney York as a place to live, but this home is an inspiration to me to find my own beautiful Summer home. 🙏🙏🙏
What a thoughtful human. The place he has created feels like a reflection of his sweet zest for life. Life generating for me. The home gives me a feeling that everything is going to be okay. Delightful.
I hope whoever gets this house , they keep it like this forever ! It’s the best!
Oh my goodness what a gorgeous home. Great job Gary!!! It is one of the nicest homes I have ever seen. I would take the " just like my Grandma's" comment as a big compliment as it is a welcoming, relaxing, and loving home. I couldn't be more jealous. 😉 And your dog...ugh what a cutie.
Billie is a wire hair fox terrier.
Wow. Could spend all day swanning around that house looking at and touching everything. It's fabulous.
Same!
Better to swan at home than elsewhere.
Wow, stunning, I wouldn’t change a thing! You did an unbelievable job. Well done!
What a lovely, curated, cozy sanctuary. And the gardens are simply magical. So intimate and secluded.
Omg... pass it on to me! Please! What a warm and charming home. I absolutely love it. And oh my word... the little dog too! ♥♥
Style, grace, charm and beauty all rolled into one wonderfully designed home and garden. Great job.
Your House is an absolute jewel ! Great Great and beautiful work Mr Brewer
I love everything about this home ... the structure, the decor, the gardens, and the location. I think knowing a home's history is extremely cool. Thank you to the homeowner and his adorable pup for allowing us to enjoy their home via this lovely tour. ❤
Thank you for watching!
Every house has a history worth knowing.
Oh my word.This man is a male version of me. So beautiful. Thank you
Perfection in every way.💯I can see why his guests would never want to leave!😅
30.March.2024 . You, Mr. Gary Brewer, are a delightful person. I also especially LOVE your kitchen and the little dining-area beside the kitchen. They are CHARMING !! I love it when
designers keep the lovely ambiance of an elderly gem of a house . Well done !!!
I love everything about this house and every little detail that has been added.
What an inspiration! Love it: "Home ownership is about making a place better." Rest assured this treasure will be cherished in its next life too. Thanks for sharing your work and ideas.
Not one to usually comment. But this house is exceptionally pleasant. Enjoyed it lots. Thank You.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
What a wonderful job you’ve done with this house. The interior is so charming, I especially like the kitchen. The exterior details and the yard are fantastic as well. I must have taken 20 screenshots. There’s so much to see and I couldn’t take it all in!
Absolutely gorgeous
Lovely house. The music to this video - i love it.
Beautiful.
Stunning! What a cozy place ro live.
You have done a phenomenal job. This four square is beautiful!!!

It's all lovely!
Gary, I love that you brought new-life to an old home. Your style and vision truly made your home a gem. God Bless
Fabulous. Love your home and adorable doggy!

Thank you for watching!
Beautiful
Wow, such a warm and cozy home, you did an amazing job on it! Thank you so much for sharing! One of my favorites!
Thank you for watching!
Well done you!!! Thanks for tour🌱
I initially watched your video during the COVID lockdown. I had to watch it again. Timeless architecture. Your home and gardens are a slice of heaven on earth.
Thank you for rewatching!
Zum verlieben schön , ist dieses Haus ❤ Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland 🍀
So beautiful ❤❤❤ perfect ❤️
Wow gorgeous!
Love the gardens, home and cute dog!
I just looked for this video a couple days ago and couldn’t find it-and today, it shows up at the top of my feed! Sooo excited to watch again. I could vacation here!
Your home and the neighborhood are so beautiful, like something out of a dream. And Billie takes it over the top. I had a Wire Haired Fox terrier for 17 years so whenever I see one, my heart skips a beat.
I love them. Always think of Asta ❤️🐶
I’m serious you have done an absolutely breathtaking job now. It’s got a lot of stuff which I think actually takes away from all the beautiful work that you’ve done to bring the house back to its original or should be original way, but there’s so much stuff stuff, and more stuff!!! that you lose a lot of the beauty that you could be seeing.😢
Some are minimalists. Not me.
This house took my breath away! Thank you for the tour.
I was born in Yonkers & all my moms family were from there. Dad was from the Bronx. Love love love Wave Hill. Anywho we lived closer to the highpoint Sacred Heart Monastery. Remember going to Untermyers as a kid. My grandparents lived on North Broadway. Can still see all the beautiful mansions. Moved to a brand new house in NJ but always loved all the old Tudors & all the great stonework. Your home is lovely ❤️🏡
Yonkers is an under appreciated New York suburb.
@@GLB105 Loved going up as a kid. Haven’t been in years though everyone’s gone. One cousin lives over near Central Ave
Perfection ❤
I love this house !
Love everything about it. Well done!
Thank you for a truly enjoyable video. I wish so much that homes of this design were readily available to have built. There is so much charm and style inside this property, that it seems magical to me. I adore each room, especially the basement. No basement should be left bare and uninviting. Thank you again! 😊💖🙏🏻
The attention to detail... What an amazing job Gary's done. He's made, what I believe, a dream home realized. Brava sir!
Beautiful dream house
We agree!
Absolutely beautiful! ,
Thank you for watching!
I can just watch this video of this gorgeous home on repeat ..it’s beyond gorgeous my opinion one of the best I’ve seen yet ! Every detail from big to small is so so perfect ❤

This is wow
Thank you for watching!
I grew up in the Bronx, but have never heard of Parkhill when I get back to New York. I really must visit this area.He did a fantastic job. So pretty and charming old world feel
Wow!!! beautiful and I love the decor. Especially the kitchen. Wow!!! The study and terrace on the second floor - Wow!!! I love all the rooms!!! And the gardens - stunning!!!
What a beautiful love story between a steward and his home. I aspire to have a home like this too someday ❤

Beauty at every turn. Love the back garden.
Beautiful home …as a classicist …I can really appreciate it
