The two-hour "Hoarders Overload" segment of the reality television series will update viewers on Sandra Cowart, former owner of the 90-year-old mansion at 301 Fisher Park Circle who lost the property to foreclosure.

It also will show the major rejuvenation of the house and its 1.6 acres under new owners Michael and Eric Fuko-Rizzo.

For years, its beauty was hidden under overgrown foliage and clutter that Cowart had accumulated. 

When the original "Hoarders" episode aired in January 2017, more than 1.2 million households watched the drama unfold as crews emptied the house. The episode has aired several times since. 

Michael Fuko-Rizzo expressed gratitude to A&E for returning. "There has been so much interest in how Sandra is doing," he said. 

Cowart lives in the area, he said, declining to say more. 

Episodes of "Hoarders Overload" often present expanded versions of past episodes with previously unseen footage and updates on the subjects.

The new episode, which premieres at 8 p.m., includes interviews with one of Cowart’s brothers and the new homeowners, revealing Cowart's progress and the restoration of the mansion, according to A&E.

"We're excited to share this next chapter," Michael Fuko-Rizzo said.

Over the next several weeks, the Fuko-Rizzos plan to move into part of the 31-room home with their 4-year-old twin daughters. 

The rest will be available for short-term rentals by individuals, families or groups. They can rent as little as one room — or much more.

"People are excited to get the opportunity to stay here, and so we’re excited to share it with them," Michael Fuko-Rizzo said.

Known as Hillside, this brick and half-timbered mansion was built in 1929 for the president of Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Co.

It later served as the manse for nearby First Presbyterian Church.

Hillside remains one of North Carolina's grandest Tudor Revival-style homes.

It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places and Guilford County's list of historically significant properties.

Its recent history has taken unexpected twists and turns.

The Fuko-Rizzos purchased Hillside for $415,000 in September 2016 after the bank foreclosed on Cowart.

The 2017 "Hoarders" episode generated interest beyond television.

The News & Record's first article on Jan. 19, 2017, about the first "Hoarders" episode was the most viewed article of all time at greensboro.com, with nearly 1 million pageviews. Two photo galleries are close behind, with a combined 659,083 pageviews.

The new owners restored the historic house to its former glory. Last spring, they hosted a Designer Showhouse there to benefit nonprofit Preservation Greensboro.

They said they had planned to move in after the showhouse.

But in January interviews, Michael Fuko-Rizzo said that they instead decided to stay in their Lake Jeanette-area house for a year or two, while they continued to work on Hillside.

In the meantime, they said, they would offer Hillside for short-term rentals, much like a Vacation Rental By Owner.

It wouldn't be a special-event center, they said, because that would require rezoning.

The city doesn't have specific regulations dealing with short-term rentals — that is, residences offered for short stays listed on Airbnb, VRBO or similar vacation-rental websites. So it applies the rules for a tourist home, also known as a bed and breakfast.

Those are allowed in single-family residential zones, provided owners get a special-use permit and meet certain development standards.

The Fuko-Rizzos recently applied for that special-use permit, Michael Fuko-Rizzo said. They will live there, as regulations require.

The city Zoning Commission is tentatively scheduled to consider the application on May 20, said Mike Kirkman, the city's zoning administrator.

In the meantime, the Fuko-Rizzos have rented it to families and groups for short stays.

A family celebrated their grandmother's 93rd birthday there. High Point Market attendees have rented it this week, just as many Triad homeowners rent out their houses to people taking part in the furniture show.

In the future, they plan to finish the gardener's cottage for people who want to stay there. They plan more landscaping for the back yard.

"It’s been an exciting journey and we’re excited for the next chapter,"  Michael Fuko-Rizzo said.
