@@normaowens7340 I don’t think he ended up actually buying that house (it apparently needed a LOT more work than he initially thought, plus it actually would have cost less to build a new house on that property than to fix it).
Congrats Ethan, you are on your way to be a first time home owner. I knew one day you would try to buy one of these abandoned homes cause you always love these kinds of homes. I hope they accept your offer!
Wow Ethan I've been watching you for yrs and I've always said to myself I bet one day Ethan trys to buy an abandoned house he's explored.. God Bless and I pray you do get it.. This is amazing..
Ethan, we didn't get an update on whether or not you're getting this gorgeous home, I really hope you're going to buy it! You can do an entire series on your reno or better yet, bringing your house right back to 1980!! I know we would ALL tune in every wk. to watch!
I hope you get the house. Will you show updates as you fix it up? Hope so that would be awesome. You deserve your own place. I will get my fingers crossed that everything turns out good for you.
Good luck Ethan I hope you get it! It’s an amazing place that doesn’t seem to need too much TLC, which you will love doing as a proud owner. Fantastic achievement too for someone of your age 👍🏼
Woah, “some things need to be replaced?” Are you kidding me? That Maytag washer and dryer is still present for a reason - because they WORK and LAST!!! I use nearly that exact same Maytag washer by choice, I hate my modern front loader that came with my house - I install a second laundry space in every home I live in so I can use my bulletproof vintage machines. That Maytag will get your clothes cleaner, faster, and more efficiently, than a new POS designed to break within two years. Maytags built in Newton Iowa were designed to last multiple lifetimes - and they do. Please do not get rid of those excellent machines for modern junk just for the sake of it being new. Especially if you’re going to keep the original stove… you need to keep the correct and period Maytag laundry units. Sorry for the slight rant but that comment totally took me off guard!
I agree. I do not like the new digital appliances even though a digital dryer came with the house my husband and I bought and moved into a year ago, in Nova Scotia. But we're in our 40s.
And then Frank Lloyd Wright replied, "It's just a little water damage..." Ethan, I so strongly applaud your reverence of and passion for these great period houses. I'm over the moon happy for you, offering on a one-of-a-kind property. But I hope to the gods that you have an inspection contingency in your offer. That being said, you'll never be bored for the period between now and your fortieth birthday. I wish you nothing but happiness, good luck and success at breathing new life and love into a beautiful home☺️♥️ 🧂🍷🥖
Actually, when Hib Johnson (of the SC Johnson company) called FLLW to complain the roof was leaking on his head during a dinner party, FLLW famous told him, “Well, just move your chair…” And those support elements on the mirrored fireplace are called corbels.
This is amazing. You’ve always talked about how many of these houses could be saved rather than knocked down. I’m excited to see your journey with your new house ❤
Congratulations Ethan!!!! That is a Beautiful House all your hard work has paid off I'm sooo happy for you young man you deserve that treat Congratulations to you again!!!!! Oh take us along on your rehab. journey when you start it Thanks!!!!
Ethan, I'm so proud of you you've moved on up sharing what you like to do in life all the videos has been fantastic I feel like this being a young man that's everyones dream to have a big house and it was built in the 80's Congratulations to all you do.
I would worry most about the mold. Mold is very dangerous and expensive to clean and is a true health hazard. Mold must only be cleaned by professionals. Trying to clean it yourself is dangerous and can cause it to spread when you disturb the mold spores. There is both black and white mold in this house. The water damage is extensive and it may be difficult to insure this house with these kinds of damage in its history. I know first hand about both of these issues. Congratulations and good luck! I hope everything works out for you!
Hopefully WHEN you get the house (not if, let's speak it into existence) 👏 We get a renovated house tour. I'm tryna buy my first house as well(unfortunately later than i wanted in life) and I love seeing decor ideas. 😍
Congrats man! Looking forward to seeing where those glass blocks are going, that fireplace with the mirror will be so awesome cleaned & shiny, the house deserves lots of love & you're the man for that job 😊 Good luck & Merry Christmas Ethan!
If you do buy this house please show us the finished product once you restore it! I'm thrilled that you want to do something to prolong the life of one of these beautiful homes!!!!
I love this home as well. The layout is gorgeous. I sure hope that things work out for you with this home. You so deserve this beautiful home. I know that you will bring this home back to life again. This would be a wonderful Christmas present to your self. Can’t wait to hear from you about this home. 💙🎄🎅🏼⛄️💙🎄🎅🏼⛄️💙🎄🎅🏼⛄️
Sooooo did u get the house or not? Watched all the way thru and didn't hear the result. If u did get it, would love to see videos of u renovating and the final results. Fingers crossed for u.
Hi Ethan, I hope you have or will be successful in your offer to purchase the property. I agree with the prudent suggestions of other commentators, concerning an inspector & work to be done. But, should you succeed, you might also consider placing mini (You are Here) maps around the place. If not for yourself to start with, then for visitors to find their way.
Congratulations Ethan! It's a beautiful house. Like you said, yes, it needs some work and some love to bring it back to its full potential and glory - but I know that's what you'll give it and make it happen. Hopefully you'll keep us updated on progress and eventually let us see the finished result.
Lovely house Ethan!! SO happy you chose this house to make your home; and I hope you get good news!!! Love your excitement!! Merry Christmas and please stay safe!🎄🎁❤
That's awesome that you're trying to buy and restore this place, but the crack in the basement ceiling will cost a pretty penny to repair. Hope you're investing your money in some kind of stock to keep this place going once you get it fixed up and since it's so large. I wish you all the best. Keep rockin!💯
I always knew one day ,one of these home would just speak to your heart . Congratulations on your new adventure . You can not beat real wood . To restore wood , look up Scots liquid gold. It cleans and hydrates the wood . Old English scratch cover will cover scratches on furniture and floors . I hope you are going to save as much of the wood floors as you can . We went in an attic room and took out flooring to match the flooring downstairs in a living room . I wish you nothing but success . It is not a race . If it takes you years to fix this home then do it . You shall never be bored as a home owner . Good vibes .
What a beautiful home you are buying, Ethan! The wood is just now coming in style again where we live in the US. mThey look like solid oak - very beautiful. Love the parquet flooring, love the whole place, and nobody deserves this great place more than you just because of the hard work and fun times you bring us all on to see the beautiful homes! SO glad they're not tearing down this beauty! Best wishes, and whole family here loves when you find a mirror and ask "Whazzup you guys????" 🎄🎄🎄🎆🎆🎆✨✨✨✨✨☃⛄☃⛄☃⛄
Ethan I’m happy for you. I hope it works out and I hope you can do the repairs that’s absolutely needed. You take care and have fun while you’re doing it and be safe.🤠
Hey man congrats on finding a structured house, hopefully u can do a lotta the cosmic repairs, it truly is a gem, but don't be afraid to remodel this puppy it's worth it long term...
I am so excited for you. Buying your own house. I pray every thing works out for you. I like it very much. Looks like a real bargain and you got your beautiful staircase . I hoe all goes well for you purchasing this home as yours
Congratulations on placing an offer. HUGE step at your age, actually any age. Be careful about redoing the floors, etc... If they are usable ...leave it for now. You will possibly have some structural issues in the basement areas. Looks like the drainage for the lower walls is failing. You will need a very expensive roof probably. Otherwise looks grand. Best wishes, you can add blown in insulation in rhe walls.
How awesome!! I’m a Realtor in Chicago & I can tell you I fall in love with almost all properties I show. ESPECIALLY the vintage ones. I can’t help but imagine myself owning them some day
I didnt hear or see any results at the end if this video so did they accept your offer ? If you didnt, you could buy something small and fix it up then sell it buy something else fix it up sell it rinse and repeat, house hacking.
I knew you'd fall in love oneday with a 80's home♡I hope you get this house & make it a beautiful home!It deserves to be loved. See things for their beauty not for its flaws. I wish you the best!
I know you say washer and driers need to be updated but I guarantee those old ones will outlast any new ones! You should keep those and save all that initial outlay and replace when they finally give up…
Please make sure you get this home whit glove inspected!! Also, consider that while you may get this house at a steal of a deal, it is your interest rate that matters. Which now can be upwards of 9% even with great credit. Also consider that you do not want to be one catastrophe away from being house poor. Think logically, not emotionally, for there isn't the market to flip houses now, nor refinance. I hope it all works out for you and that you keep that 80s charm inside!
I smiled all the way through this video. I’m so happy for you. Love your channel and “what’s up you guys” The house is beautiful with so much potential. Congratulations 🎉🎉
Congrats Ethan! I agree the hardwood floors might not be original to the house. Tile aside, a home from this period would have had acres and acres of wall to wall carpeting. The color either light grey, beige or mauve 😝. Good luck!
Congratulations on your new home enjoy it. It's a beautiful place and as you have said it needs some fixing but it will be totally worth it when you are done with it.
Hello from Palm Springs!🌴 This is a great house and I hope you get it. It's really big though and there's a lot of renovations that will need to be done I'm sure a lot more than you can actually see. I thought I heard on the video that you said that the results would be at the end of the video. Did you get the house? Keep my fingers crossed! Good luck and thanks for sharing❤️
I missed whether or not you were able to buy this Ethan. Did you buy it? Personally I think it's pretty darned big for one person, but only you know how you'd use it. I always wanted a big ole house, but when I bought one I found that I was constantly running up and down the stairs because I'd fogotten something. Back to one story now, and happier for it. :)
Love this house, and I so hope you can restore it to it's potential. But, the first thing you need to do, above all else, is put a new battery in that smoke detector! Gah! Nothing is more annoying!
I honestly never thought you’d ever consider actually buying any of these abandoned houses you’ve covered… but, here we are! Good luck Ethan!!!
This won't even be the first one he's bought
Did he buy it? Haven't been to finding any info
@@normaowens7340 I don’t think he ended up actually buying that house (it apparently needed a LOT more work than he initially thought, plus it actually would have cost less to build a new house on that property than to fix it).

Did you get this house its been three weeks
I hope you get the house. Will you show updates as you fix it up? Hope so that would be awesome. You deserve your own place. I will get my fingers crossed that everything turns out good for you.
