E26 | Glen Ridge Generational | Next-Generation Victorian

Season 45 Episode 26 | 23m 12s

Eleven months ago, construction started on an 1887 Victorian in Glen Ridge, NJ to restore its original charm and transform it into a home suitable for multigenerational living. The renovation is now complete, and the crew is back for a tour. The homeowner presents a new bottle of wine signifying the new character of the home, like the bottle of 1887 Bordeaux found in the walls during demolition.
