This is my grandparents house! It has truly been overwhelming to see how much everyone has appreciated it. My grandparents have lived there for the past 30 years, but all the steps finally became too much. My grandma has loved this house with her whole heart, and I hope whoever ends up with it will too <3 Thank you SO MUCH for this tour. This will mean the world to have in the future!

They just don't build houses with character like this anymore and haven't for close to a hundred years. Storybook style is my absolute favorite. If I could build a house from scratch, this is close to what I'd be aiming for. These homes have a personality all of their own and I hope the future owners appreciate it and don't change anything.

Wow, this house has so much CHARM. You can tell the architect poured his soul into it, it's so sad that he never got to enjoy it. He would've lived such a magical life. Thank you so much for sharing it with us! <3

This house better be protected; it's special uniqueness is deserving of a security system. This house was obviously made with love. #respect

what an adorable and cozy house! The man that had built this put so much love and care into it, breaks my heart to know he never could enjoy living there. I have to give kudos to the narrator. He did a great job in showing the house with the descriptions and having our eye line go into the right direction rather than just walk over.

7:17 "died of heart break". As an artist my self, and such a deeply personal project a home is, I can imagine his bitterness and personally I'd be truly enraged. Glad it outlived him at least and that some people appreciated it. Thanks for sharing this vid with us.

I didn’t know my dream house existed until I saw this video. Oh I wish I could live in something like this someday. My heart breaks for the architect who poured so much of himself into the design and construction but never got to live there. I can’t help thinking that part of him continues to watch over what is so obviously a Heart Project. ❤️💖❤️

The tiny storybook details like the mice, and bear carvings and the stove make this the epitome of perfection!

[glenellbandy]

This tour was so well done! The unusual layout was carefully explained and I felt like I was actually there! Truly a beautiful and lovable house!

[MomCat]

Wow!! This is one of the most whimsical Fairytale houses I’ve seen!
The 1920’s were so madcap zany!
Love it 😍

[ourfloridagarden]

This is one of the coolest houses I’ve ever seen.

Modern architects strive very hard to be unique. But it
seems to me they overlook that one way to stand out is to be personal. That's what this house has. All the little quirks and touches exudes personality, warmth, and character. There is no other home like this.

[janebeatty]

This home has obviously been very loved and maintained. I hope the next owner loves her as much as the previous owners.

This is the most charming little house I’ve ever seen, such a masterpiece. The designer not getting to move into it after all his hard work is just heartbreaking. This would be the perfect house for me as I’m an artist and would make good use of the studio. It has everything you need in a house for a little old man and his dog. I could have that as my forever house, although I love my house as well. Thank you again Ken you do such a good job and you notice all the tiny details that make a place special. I just love how cozy this house is, how it wraps around you gently drawing you up and down stairs, through arched passageways and secret rooms.I really am mesmerized by this little treasure and I have just the right furniture for it. If I was in the market again I would say sold. See you next time your friends ChuckandMax

THIS IS WHAT A TOUR GUIDE SHOULD BE!! Great video🥰🥰🥰! I love it!!💕💕💕

[Dina]

A charming little cottage 💕indeed. I hope the new owners appreciate the uniqueness of this house and keep it as original as possible inside and out. Many people just don’t care about old, historical structures anymore.

[mikebarry]

You could tell this home was built with love. So saddened that Karl Reiff lost the home to the bank, what a 😳

[steveschramko]

What's truly amazing about this house is that it managed to survive without the usual phillistinized 'remodeling', up-dating, modernizing etc and the weaponized paint brush....

[franlooving]

Some of us really love our old houses. It is so fun to see his design and I LOVE the old wishing well. I can totally see weddings taking place at this house. I love tiny kitchens, but it seems to me that the kitchen isn't original, but more 70s etc. It would be so fun to see a more Deco look in there. Only my opinion. I love the Fairytale. Thank you.

[theidahoan]

Everything about this house is charming, unique and cool. I wouldn't touch a thing on this house! This is truly a one of a kind house that someone put love and dedication into it. Love unique houses like this, unlike the plain boring cookie cutter suburban houses that lack that uniqueness.
