Well I may as well start letting my fans know that showhouse is starting!!!! It is with a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm that Vanguard is announcing the 2011 Showhouse! Saturday February 19th and Sunday February 20th, 2011 is sneak a peak at the Vanguard Showhouse, located this year at 10/12 Stafford Road, Loudonville, NY .
Nathaniel and Kevin Bette (the owners) are bringing this historical property back to its original grandeur, while the renovation will restore most of the property there are many changes and updates that will also bring this home into the 21st century.
A little history on the home… It was completed in 1841 and occupied by William Shepard. He was a New York Assemblyman, Judge and Merchant. William Shepard purchased the property from Stephan van Rensselaer IV who was the son of the last Patroon, Stephan Van Rensselaer III. Come and see this beautiful home as it stands. It has already had a ton of work done, the roof was replaced, facade has been sand blasted to return the brick to its original color,and some landscaping has been done. This lovely home has so much potential. Can’t wait to see what the designers come up with for their rooms… I know that mine will be Fantastic…
I’ll include some pictures after sneak a peak. Hope to see you there!
XOXO
