MCM furniture is big these days. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how someone could buy such a COOL MCM house to tear it down. In the next couple of years, I'm probably going to buy a house of my own and I hope to find a classic this nice to preserve.
I'm a 90s baby. I love old school stuff especially stuff from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. It's a shame their planning on demolishing that old house. If I was the owner of the property I would keep the retro style but have renovations done if needed. Like if the ceiling and roof showed signs of leaking I would have the roof replaced and the ceiling fixed of course. I would also probably have the carpets replaced with different colored carpets. I would also have most of the wallpaper replaced. That sord of thing is what I would do if I was the owner of the property.
Whoever owned this house put in alot of time and effort in decorating this beautiful home. And every room was amazing. All that work to tear it down. It's very upsetting
Looks like this house was abandoned in the early 2000’s tho (maybe even later) ..... a lot of those appliances and fixtures aren’t from the 60’s .... they updated some of the house and left some retro stuff ....
I’m not sure how old you guys are but I’m 45 and I remember kitchens looking like this. This is not an updated kitchen. Someone did come in and clean, it appears. Fashions repeat themselves and this style has made it back so it appears to be new. If they remodeled the kitchen don’t you think they would’ve patched up the ceiling? I don’t know, just a thought.

This house is an absolute dream. I’d give anything to own a home so original and unique to that Era. I’d invest money in it’s restoration, and have it furnished to the decade. It’d be like living in a time capsule, and to know they’re tearing it down makes me extremely emotional. )-:

I got my house this way. I bought the land for $15,000, and it had a huge abandoned house on it. I was going to tear it down, but it was sooo nice inside .So I spent $40,000 rehabbing the house and now I live in it. Completely paid for. And I only have to pay the tax on the land.
I would just keep this house the way it is. Some people with money have no respect for history. Just tear it down and build some cheap simple house. New houses will never last as long as houses like this one.

@Harzburgitic bathrooms typically have pretty distinct features depending on when they were designed and decorated. If it seems to fit the rest of the house, it probably hasn't been remodeled. There's also a chance it wasn't remodeled but toilets do break and have to be replaced sometimes.

most likely the water damage and maybe black mold. Ol' Rod Kush's repo'd mansion in Nebraska was so full of water damage and black mold that they burnt it down for a firefighter's exercise and built new.. it was a gorgeous house otherwise

@@cjordan9880 Yeah, and if they happen to see this, they're horrified by a couple of hosers who broke into their parents' home so they could shoot video, narrating their dumbnut observations about the house in which they grew up.
MerynCadell I see you’re the glass-half-empty type. To each their own. I would think it would be neat to see a home that I grew up in in a video like this - but that’s just me. It’s not like they were vandalizing the place or taking things.
This is such a shame. So well built too. Even if you aren’t a mid century fan, the bones of this house are superb. I hate that this is being torn down.
This house may have been built in the 60s, and there's some furniture that definitely fits the time, but that electric glass stove top couldn't have been a thing back then. Leads me to believe that the house was occupied much later than just the 60s. Either way, this house kicks ass and I would love to have seen this in person. Thank you for sharing your experience here.
The orange checked bedroom I'm almost positive was done in the 90's. Wall painting patterns to that extent were very popular. The basement seems late 80s at the earliest. The simpsons doesn't date back to 1967 of course. Also the kitchens and bathroom were done pretty recently in the scheme of things. The countertops are in the newer style. The office, powder room, stairs and record room could all exist happily in a modern home.
This house would be way more valuable if they spent money renovating it and restoring it to modernize the 60's design compared to the sh*t cookie cutter home planned to take its place. To build a home like this today with all the custom finishes and details would be $$$. I could see this place being an amazing 60's themed bed and breakfast or air bnb. Too bad its getting demolished ... rip lil guy
Exactly! There are a lot of styling elements from the 1960s that would seamlessly blend really well with some of today’s modern styling. A lot of the ‘60s elements could be left intact and be left intact and be complimented by modern furniture and technology (if done correctly)
I grew up in the 60's and i can remember people actually thinking this decor was beaitiful. If u were to wash the walls u would find out the wallpaper was really lighter than it is #cigarette smoke.
Haha, yeah I was thinking the same thing. I can remember homes and furniture like that. The bar was standard for 60s and 70s and sooo much nicotine, because everyone smoked. Too bad it's going to be demolished though. Such a piece of history.
My grandma had one she bought in the 60’s up until only a few years ago, she only bought a new one because it was rusted, it still worked just fine. I lived with her most of my life and I had orange shag carpet the same colour as the checkered room in my childhood bedroom.
Super Simple Saver my parents were married in 67 and they used all their appliances for decades. I still have their electric hand mixer and it works. Most things were built to last a lifetime.
For an “abandoned” 1960’s Mansion it’s not in that bad of shape like one usually sees with abandoned places even as the 90’s and 2000’s. Yes that IS a record player.
I can’t believe how clean the house looks & well made the beds were, the kitchen looked amazing I can’t believe there just going to tear the house down! Looked amazing! xx
It’s gotta be those patterns. Ever since that movie I hate any type of wallpaper. And that room that looks like it could be the bar scene...😂😂😂😂 no thanks.
All that place needs is the roof repaired and the ceilins replaced. Also that one little bedroom needs to be remodeled! Otherwise it's move-in ready. That basement-lookin area is really creepy!!!!
@@Sonja-u8z no asbestos is harmful when you breath it in you don't have to disturb it for it to be around in the air, plus animals can disturb it and in Many old homes like this the natural ware on the house can disturb the asbestos, it really is dangerous for anybody to do Any urban exploring without masks
Åsa Persson I’m well aware but to have your emotions deeply invested in replaceable, materialistic things that isn’t even your property , says a lot about the person.
Love it, love it, love!!! Should and would not tear down...just sell it...needs loving and caring peopple to take it over... And the new build doesn't compare to this house... There is no respect for older taste of homes....great job Ethan!! You keep it real as always❤...
The new McMansion that they plan to build after tearing this house down is tacky. The new McMansions look like Disneyland architecture, shallow design.
FYI….he was not alone. I have been told by reliable sources connected to the house that the only way that door can be locked is a pad lock FROM THE INSIDE!!! 😳 Should make you think twice about entering abandon homes…
or maybe be logical and think, hmm, it's obviously winter (the snow and their attire), maybe the windows were open or that room didnt have any/worn out insulation
Ok, now I really feel old!!! I turned 14 in 1967!!! Yes, that “record” was a 45rpm & if you had either a little disc for the middle or a larger cylinder to fit over the spindle on the record player itself, it could be played. I LOVE old places like this!!
Right? I'm up there with you. Lol can you imagine having to have 3 different record players for the different size/speed albums? 🤣 I cannot belive records & players are back tbh. I am glad though there is nothing like the crackle of vinyl coming through the speakers.
This looks awfully clean for an untouched house.... I moved into an “untouched” house that wasn’t inhabited since the 60s. It.....was.... VERY dusty. With no working power because, well, nobody paid the bill
In the living area you got the glimpse of the garden... which look quite clean. Also the electrical installation behind the curtains definitely looked new..
I would say whoever owns the property probably pays for the power to be on. If they own the property they probably have money. If you leave the house without any power heating or cooling on that’s when you get the peeling walls and ceilings in the really bad damage so I would say the person probably paid for the power and all that to still be going so this doesn’t happen until they decided if they were going to live in it remodel or tear it down.
Notice that although this is considered a mansion, there's no unnecessary sq footage per person like in today's "mcMansions". The actual living spaces are very proportionate, and feel cozy. Its also clearly custom built. I wish we could see the outside.
Wow that house has a bit of everything it seems. The foyer is incredible and elegant. The large living room areas are truly amazing. Touch of funkadelic sprinkled in, absolutely love shag carpet white and orange especially. Not to overlook a very important feature the built-in bar no matter how big or small no proper 60s home of that caliber especially would ever be caught without one.
it's not an abandoned house.....it's just an outdated and unoccupied home......you can find many homes like this for sale on Zillow.......like many youtube videos, it's deceptive....
They have to have the power left on to run the utilities so that the house does not rot and be valdalized or destroy itself from elements exposure. The realtor is usually who is paying the bills.
There is a difference between “abandoned” and “vacant”. This house has obviously been maintained throughout the years and therefore not truly abandoned.
Abandoned means deserted or casted off. Vacant means left empty. It's more abandoned then left vacant since it has a bunch of furniture in it. Abandoned doesnt mean it had vines everwhere, dead animals, animal poop or graffiti everywhere it means no one is there anymore and no one bothers to do anything about it
You're so right. This house was left vacant for a long time, not abandoned. The washing machine told that it wasn't in the 60s. My mom has the same W&D and she bought in the 80s
@@tishamcdowell7820 it is abandoned tho no one wants to do anything about it except tear it down. No one lived in it no one was coming back. It still had some furniture in it. Vacant and abandoned are very close things but no completely the same. Like a vacant motel a room is vacant meaning someone can come and check into it. Abandoned motel meaning it just sits there no one doing anything about it no one is moving in.
What idiots would demolish this down to build something else ? This house is so cool and so clean. Not that much for repairs and you could live there really well. Huge rooms and kitchen.
Unfortunately, the amount of water damage in this home is an environmental and health hazard, at a level that’s way beyond repair. Imagine all the mould behind those walls. I would also be willing to bet the home’s insulation is full of asbestos.
I can just imagine someone carefully and lovingly picking the carpets/drapes/wallpaper for this home and for their children's rooms. Putting so much thought and money into every room. All to be demolished, it's sad to think about..
the 60's and 70's were notorious for poorly built homes....today's houses are built better.....never understood the whole, "years ago, things were better than they are now"
@@PlasticPellets it's not about how they are built it's about how they are designed in my opinion. Every house today is almost the exact same. The way they built the inside is what's amazing
@@PlasticPellets no they weren't who told you this? I think you are thinking of 80's to 90's when extremely cheap wood was used and foundations were poor
Myleen Lujan this was TOP of the line in the early-mid ‘70’s. I’m over here seething with jealousy at those choices. I went through my folks’ wallpaper book, endlessly, and I loved every damned one of the choices these people made. My six year old self is aflutter.
@@KristiLEvans1 1970's were outrageous! This house is right out of those catalogues!! 😄 I remember a cousins house had raised black paisley felt on shiny gold material of some kind. You'd walk down the hall and 'pet' the walls. 😆
The sad thing is that the land is worth so much more than the house to a developer. My little terraced house in the UK would fit into the bloody basement. The space is incredible. I love60s/ 70s decor.
These people went ALL IN on a style that didn't last long and didn't spread too far. The kitchen looks updated from the rest of the house though. I would have had either avocado or burnt orange (or a mixture of both!) appliances and cabinets, not all-white and sleek. The plaid bedroom with the twin beds is perfect! Note the white headboards on the beds in some kind of Louis XIV style contrasting with the wallpaper. Perfect!
I can give a guess on the history.....First, this is not an abandoned home.....The title is deceptive....The home is just outdated......my guess is the owners purchased the home when they were young, raised a family and all the children eventually grew up and moved out leaving the empty nesters in the home until very recently. The owners either, A.) retired and downsized and sold the house or B.) recently died and the estate sold the house.....The new owners, decided that tearing down this house and building a new modern home was more cost effective, among other things, than remodeling and renovating this abomination.....the people filming this very mundane and everyday occurrence figured that they would not get that many views narrating the facts and therefore, placed a deceptive title and overly exaggerated their reactions to an home that required updating (and also purposely placing the record they "found" in the closet for dramatic effects....ask yourself, "why video a closet?").....the majority of the youtube community who commented on this video apparently cannot think critically and actually believe the premise that this is an abandoned home, even though there is a ton of evidence showing otherwise (electricity, kitchen appliances/newer faucets, etc)......
I was born in 1972 and I LOVE love anything retro,and you found the coolest vintage house!! It’s so full of character, it’s so sad this mansion will be torn down. Thankyou for showing us, but please slow it down a bit energizer bunny! Your viewers are relishing every morsel we see! Records are coming back so check them out,they have a very unique sound! You can play the small 45’s on any record player if you have plastic disc inserts to fit. Looking forward to exploring more great finds!! 👍🏼😀
Out of curiosity i looked up Simpsons store history. Defunct in 1991...that bag has been there awhile. Places like this , especially abandoned for so long, are awesome glimpses into the past.

most likely the water damage and maybe black mold. Ol' Rod Kush's repo'd mansion in Nebraska was so full of water damage and black mold that they burnt it down for a firefighter's exercise and built new.. it was a gorgeous house otherwise
Yes!
When he said “I believe...that’s a record player” I chuckled to myself realizing I must be getting old lol. It’s a beautiful home! Why tear it down? Such a shame....
We called them turntables. You need an adapter for 45’s. The orange and white dresser looks like a vintage dresser from the 60’s very collectible.
tkey34 Yes, I was thinking the same thing!
I’m 21 and I laughed too because I love listening to records :) this is a dream house that sound system would not go to waste if I lived there
Aka phonograph
Same...
Mansion in Canada: untouched, perfect condition
Mansion in America: ransacked, graffiti everywhere, torn to shreds
I have yet to come by an untouched abandon house and I’m from Canada
Gianna let’s not be slow here.
Not in buckhead....(atlanta)
Imagine if one of the children who lived here was watching this, the nostalgia attack and memories would come rushing back!
Cara Bradley that’s exactly what I was thinking! Surely somebody who played with that bake o matic is going to watch this.
@@cjordan9880 Yeah, and if they happen to see this, they're horrified by a couple of hosers who broke into their parents' home so they could shoot video, narrating their dumbnut observations about the house in which they grew up.
MerynCadell I see you’re the glass-half-empty type. To each their own. I would think it would be neat to see a home that I grew up in in a video like this - but that’s just me. It’s not like they were vandalizing the place or taking things.
I just imagine the life these people lived in this house such a different cool time. They were probably cool af
This is such a shame. So well built too. Even if you aren’t a mid century fan, the bones of this house are superb. I hate that this is being torn down.
Totally agree, I’d love to live here
Susan Urbanczyk: I’m not a mid-century fan, but I appreciate the aesthetic. The wallpaper was to die for. And did you see the appliances?! Pristine!
Him “it’s cold in here”

Same. 100%
Nope. Just damp everywhere
😂😂😂yes
I was thinking the same thing! Lol 😬😬😬
Me, too!
This house may have been built in the 60s, and there's some furniture that definitely fits the time, but that electric glass stove top couldn't have been a thing back then. Leads me to believe that the house was occupied much later than just the 60s. Either way, this house kicks ass and I would love to have seen this in person. Thank you for sharing your experience here.
The orange checked bedroom I'm almost positive was done in the 90's. Wall painting patterns to that extent were very popular.
The basement seems late 80s at the earliest. The simpsons doesn't date back to 1967 of course.
Also the kitchens and bathroom were done pretty recently in the scheme of things. The countertops are in the newer style.
The office, powder room, stairs and record room could all exist happily in a modern home.
I agree, it's a 60s mansion but definitely has had some newer things added over the years. The kitchen looks more 80s.
I swear there was a dishwasher in the kitchen too. Black front went past after saying the time was wrong.
@@djawnsjhilson218 not the Simpsons show, but a store, most likely department store like Belk or JC Penney. The bag had its name all over it.
@@miss_morgue rewatched and you're absolutely right on the simpsons bag. It was open until 1991 in canada. It closed a few years earlier in quebec.
I’d love to know the backstory on this house and why the family left it. Why hasn’t anyone lived there for so long?
Same
Because it’s ugly as fuck lol. Just being honest. I love mid century, but this is just awful
Same here, I have so many questions
Cause no one wants to buy it.
Ugly and expensive
This house would be way more valuable if they spent money renovating it and restoring it to modernize the 60's design compared to the sh*t cookie cutter home planned to take its place. To build a home like this today with all the custom finishes and details would be $$$. I could see this place being an amazing 60's themed bed and breakfast or air bnb. Too bad its getting demolished ... rip lil guy
Totallyyyyy agree with everything you just said....
Where is this house located? Too bad it wasn't landmarked
KaddyKimber Ontario Canada
Exactly! There are a lot of styling elements from the 1960s that would seamlessly blend really well with some of today’s modern styling. A lot of the ‘60s elements could be left intact and be left intact and be complimented by modern furniture and technology (if done correctly)
Anthony D...... agreed!!!
My paranoid ass was expecting something scary to suddenly pop out and attack him when he went into the pitch black rooms with only a flashlight.
the basement had such bad vibes. and all those couches in front of the floor to ceiling mirror? wonder what they had that for ;)
That little sink in the kitchen is a vegetable sink. I've only seen it in more wealthy homes, to wash your fruit and veggies separate from dishes.
Ahhh okay thank you for the info!!
Most homes in the UK have them! 😊
I have the same sink and I love it! Very functional idea indeed!
Jeanzy C. Don’t they usually have the disposal in the little sink? It ways in the double sink, right side.
@@bettykegley6416 Do they? 🙂 Maybe you're right.
This house should be like a retro museum, it’s sad they are going to tear it down!
I grew up in the 60's and i can remember people actually thinking this decor was beaitiful. If u were to wash the walls u would find out the wallpaper was really lighter than it is #cigarette smoke.
Haha, yeah I was thinking the same thing. I can remember homes and furniture like that. The bar was standard for 60s and 70s and sooo much nicotine, because everyone smoked. Too bad it's going to be demolished though. Such a piece of history.
I absolutely love the orange plaid bedroom. Some really neat wallpaper patterns and color schemes throughout this house.
My grandmother has that same washer & dryer set - hers is still going strong after over 60 years! They don’t make them like they used to...
I bet it wasn't made in China either.
My grandma had one she bought in the 60’s up until only a few years ago, she only bought a new one because it was rusted, it still worked just fine. I lived with her most of my life and I had orange shag carpet the same colour as the checkered room in my childhood bedroom.
All the parts like drum in dryer is now plastic. Planned obsolescence. Wear out and replace in a couple years ugh
Super Simple Saver my parents were married in 67 and they used all their appliances for decades. I still have their electric hand mixer and it works. Most things were built to last a lifetime.
@@amiesparkle00 that's awesome. I love the old toasters. They were so much better
That plaid bedroom looks like something straight out of the Brady bunch.
It's sad that there are so many abandoned properties, sitting empty for years and even decades, while so many people are in need of homes.
I feel so sad about it, hope you are doing great with your family Kat?
For an “abandoned” 1960’s Mansion it’s not in that bad of shape like one usually sees with abandoned places even as the 90’s and 2000’s. Yes that IS a record player.
I can’t believe how clean the house looks & well made the beds were, the kitchen looked amazing I can’t believe there just going to tear the house down! Looked amazing! xx
This place is giving me serious "Shining" vibes.
Totally...
hordak82 same
It’s gotta be those patterns. Ever since that movie I hate any type of wallpaper. And that room that looks like it could be the bar scene...😂😂😂😂 no thanks.
I JUST THOUGHT THIS!!!!
All that place needs is the roof repaired and the ceilins replaced. Also that one little bedroom needs to be remodeled! Otherwise it's move-in ready. That basement-lookin area is really creepy!!!!
Yeah I got creepy vibes from it too lol
Wonder Granny.... I agree with you!
When he said he was born in 2000 i almost dropped my tea
Ikr!!! My granddaughter was born in 2000 also.
Y’all need to wear masks when going in places like that, the mold and asbestos is really not good
MaRy AlIcE LOrInG Asbestos is only harmful when it’s disturbed.
@@Sonja-u8z no asbestos is harmful when you breath it in you don't have to disturb it for it to be around in the air, plus animals can disturb it and in Many old homes like this the natural ware on the house can disturb the asbestos, it really is dangerous for anybody to do Any urban exploring without masks
Haley Bee great
This looks like a house you’d see in a horror movie 😂
Millië Escoto I can assure you those dolls in that twin room get up to some sh*t after sundown
That's only because modern media sets their horror genres in settings like these. When I look at it I think The Brady Bunch.
American Horror Story all the way
I was waiting for something to come out and scare me
@@ahumanaperson facts
If that house was here in Palm Springs, Ca., it would be preserved and furnished with authentic pieces from the 70’s. Makes me want to cry!
Charlene Canchola you want to cry over materialistic shit? Get real.
@@tenebaum6595 its history
Åsa Persson I’m well aware but to have your emotions deeply invested in replaceable, materialistic things that isn’t even your property , says a lot about the person.
TENE BAUM replaceable? How would you plan on replacing something from 50 years in the past..
@@tenebaum6595 2/10 poor trolling attempt
Try harder next time
Love it, love it, love!!! Should and would not tear down...just sell it...needs loving and caring peopple to take it over... And the new build doesn't compare to this house... There is no respect for older taste of homes....great job Ethan!! You keep it real as always❤...
The new McMansion that they plan to build after tearing this house down is tacky. The new McMansions look like Disneyland architecture, shallow design.
Totally agree. I've always thought that, coming from Britain and knowing what solid historic architecture be looks like.
The house they are building is priced at $13 million. It’s limestone on the outside and over 13000sf I believe.
Could be dead bodies in there lol thats where i would stash them knowing the house was coming down lol
This was a mcmansion probably, so
Did anyone else want him to break into the locked room 😂
Oh yeah!!😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes it’s killing me not knowing.
FYI….he was not alone. I have been told by reliable sources connected to the house that the only way that door can be locked is a pad lock FROM THE INSIDE!!! 😳 Should make you think twice about entering abandon homes…
"It's cold in this room" ....that means stay tf away!
That’s not entirely true, it would be a specific spot in the room. Not the whole room.
Right? I thought the same thing. Nope my way out.
Yes! I said the same thing! “That’s because that’s the one that’s haunted”
or maybe be logical and think, hmm, it's obviously winter (the snow and their attire), maybe the windows were open or that room didnt have any/worn out insulation
Alicia Cohen Sometimes it’s the whole room
They don't make houses like this anymore that are built to last. What a beautiful mansion that should have been restored and not torn down!
To bad someone doesn't restore is, would be worth $10 Million if brought up to modern interiors with keeping the character. Thanks for sharing.
How does stuff like this just get left!? So wierd unless it was lived in like this by an older couple until recently
very “end of the f*cking world” vibes
Agreed!
That’s exactly what I thought!
My thoughts too
Yesss!
I fell in love with that blue/shiny wallpaper room connected to the bathroom
Looks like the kitchen and some rooms were updated in early 80’s
Kitchen I could agree with
Beverly Balius I thought so as well
Agreed. Late 70s to early 80s upgrades for sure!!
I was about to say, some of the kitchen had clearly been updated.
yeah that kitchen was straight 80s!
I hope someone buys that furniture. Those couches are something you shouldn’t get rid of.
I agree also
The people who onced lived there, would have never believed millions would see their home one day..
Great point
Ok, now I really feel old!!! I turned 14 in 1967!!! Yes, that “record” was a 45rpm & if you had either a little disc for the middle or a larger cylinder to fit over the spindle on the record player itself, it could be played. I LOVE old places like this!!
Me too, I love a place like this, hope you are doing great with your family Susan?
Right? I'm up there with you. Lol can you imagine having to have 3 different record players for the different size/speed albums? 🤣 I cannot belive records & players are back tbh. I am glad though there is nothing like the crackle of vinyl coming through the speakers.
This house has more toilet rolls than any of us right now.
Lol
This looks awfully clean for an untouched house.... I moved into an “untouched” house that wasn’t inhabited since the 60s. It.....was.... VERY dusty. With no working power because, well, nobody paid the bill
he said in another comment that it was last lived in in like 2013
No cobwebs, no dust, power on....😏 someone maintains this place and not all is what it seems. Modern kitchen
colorblind101a I was just about to say too, that kitchen with the granite and that oven is new
In the living area you got the glimpse of the garden... which look quite clean. Also the electrical installation behind the curtains definitely looked new..
I would say whoever owns the property probably pays for the power to be on. If they own the property they probably have money. If you leave the house without any power heating or cooling on that’s when you get the peeling walls and ceilings in the really bad damage so I would say the person probably paid for the power and all that to still be going so this doesn’t happen until they decided if they were going to live in it remodel or tear it down.
If this house could talk imagine the stories It could tell
Lol i get it
that moment when he said he was born in 2000.... instantly made me and probably everyone not born in this millennium feel old
Oh well, I am old!!👵👵🇺🇸🇺🇸❤
+ he had to guess that was a record player. He did know a record when he found one though.
@@musicloverme3993 and then didn’t realize that it played both big and little records! I’m old enough to remember this type of house when it was new!
@@joanistock1672 LOL, he would prolly play them at the wrong speed also!
we need to start a petition to preserve this house
Notice that although this is considered a mansion, there's no unnecessary sq footage per person like in today's "mcMansions". The actual living spaces are very proportionate, and feel cozy. Its also clearly custom built. I wish we could see the outside.
I'll be excited once open concept fades away. I like nooks. I like crannies.
It would be so cool to shoot a movie set in the 60’s/70’s in this!
Wow that house has a bit of everything it seems. The foyer is incredible and elegant. The large living room areas are truly amazing. Touch of funkadelic sprinkled in, absolutely love shag carpet white and orange especially. Not to overlook a very important feature the built-in bar no matter how big or small no proper 60s home of that caliber especially would ever be caught without one.
California: shuts off power to people during a pandemic.
Abandoned mid century house: UNLIMITED POWER!!
it's not an abandoned house.....it's just an outdated and unoccupied home......you can find many homes like this for sale on Zillow.......like many youtube videos, it's deceptive....
They have to have the power left on to run the utilities so that the house does not rot and be valdalized or destroy itself from elements exposure. The realtor is usually who is paying the bills.
HeyyBrey facts 💯
HeyyBrey ~ What areas of California have their power shut off during this pandemic?
Well California is a blue state so I guess that's how the liberal left do thing's .
There is a difference between “abandoned” and “vacant”. This house has obviously been maintained throughout the years and therefore not truly abandoned.
Abandoned means deserted or casted off. Vacant means left empty. It's more abandoned then left vacant since it has a bunch of furniture in it. Abandoned doesnt mean it had vines everwhere, dead animals, animal poop or graffiti everywhere it means no one is there anymore and no one bothers to do anything about it
Exactly
Foreverinyourmind Lover exactly. Thank you
You're so right. This house was left vacant for a long time, not abandoned. The washing machine told that it wasn't in the 60s. My mom has the same W&D and she bought in the 80s
@@tishamcdowell7820 it is abandoned tho no one wants to do anything about it except tear it down. No one lived in it no one was coming back. It still had some furniture in it. Vacant and abandoned are very close things but no completely the same. Like a vacant motel a room is vacant meaning someone can come and check into it. Abandoned motel meaning it just sits there no one doing anything about it no one is moving in.
“ I believe that’s a record player”
Noooo, it’s a pizza rotator
Morgan Evans i saw your comment before i actually saw it. i thought you were fr lol there were some crazy stuff back in the 60s
I love the blue and white wall paper and blue carpet upstairs and the blue sparkly wall paper by the bathroom by the office absolutely gorgeous.
What idiots would demolish this down to build something else ? This house is so cool and so clean. Not that much for repairs and you could live there really well. Huge rooms and kitchen.
You dont know that for sure. It could have been inspected and have far more damage and mold that's not seen on the surface.
Yup idiots!!
Unfortunately, the amount of water damage in this home is an environmental and health hazard, at a level that’s way beyond repair. Imagine all the mould behind those walls. I would also be willing to bet the home’s insulation is full of asbestos.
I can just imagine someone carefully and lovingly picking the carpets/drapes/wallpaper for this home and for their children's rooms. Putting so much thought and money into every room. All to be demolished, it's sad to think about..
This should be a Time Capsule museum of the life in the 1960s
I was a child in the 1960's. Memories!
i was born in 2000 but love seeing how other generations used to live. great video ethan!
The house that’s being built is garbage compared to this home.
J F seriously
Im an architect.. and the house they are going to built is total crap! This one is awesome
the 60's and 70's were notorious for poorly built homes....today's houses are built better.....never understood the whole, "years ago, things were better than they are now"
@@PlasticPellets it's not about how they are built it's about how they are designed in my opinion. Every house today is almost the exact same. The way they built the inside is what's amazing

Whoever wallpapered that house probably retired after this job!
Or was fired, more likely.
@@natashabrown3518 Except he homeowner made those choices, not the poor guys having to hang it.
Serious skill in the plaid bedroom.
Myleen Lujan this was TOP of the line in the early-mid ‘70’s. I’m over here seething with jealousy at those choices. I went through my folks’ wallpaper book, endlessly, and I loved every damned one of the choices these people made. My six year old self is aflutter.
@@KristiLEvans1 1970's were outrageous! This house is right out of those catalogues!! 😄 I remember a cousins house had raised black paisley felt on shiny gold material of some kind. You'd walk down the hall and 'pet' the walls. 😆
The sad thing is that the land is worth so much more than the house to a developer.
My little terraced house in the UK would fit into the bloody basement.
The space is incredible.
I love60s/ 70s decor.
Someone let know Harry Styles about this house!!!
i love harry styles and this is totally his current vibes
These people went ALL IN on a style that didn't last long and didn't spread too far. The kitchen looks updated from the rest of the house though. I would have had either avocado or burnt orange (or a mixture of both!) appliances and cabinets, not all-white and sleek. The plaid bedroom with the twin beds is perfect! Note the white headboards on the beds in some kind of Louis XIV style contrasting with the wallpaper. Perfect!
Who would ever tear down an incredible house like this??? For an ugly McMansion??
I definitely think there is a lot of beautiful things about that house and I love the wallpaper.
Does anyone have the history on the family that owned this place.
Yes, that would be cool!
Replying so I can see if anyone replies with info! I'd love to know too
Yea I’m finding it hard to believe that the kitchen it the same as it was when the house was built in 67
I can give a guess on the history.....First, this is not an abandoned home.....The title is deceptive....The home is just outdated......my guess is the owners purchased the home when they were young, raised a family and all the children eventually grew up and moved out leaving the empty nesters in the home until very recently. The owners either, A.) retired and downsized and sold the house or B.) recently died and the estate sold the house.....The new owners, decided that tearing down this house and building a new modern home was more cost effective, among other things, than remodeling and renovating this abomination.....the people filming this very mundane and everyday occurrence figured that they would not get that many views narrating the facts and therefore, placed a deceptive title and overly exaggerated their reactions to an home that required updating (and also purposely placing the record they "found" in the closet for dramatic effects....ask yourself, "why video a closet?").....the majority of the youtube community who commented on this video apparently cannot think critically and actually believe the premise that this is an abandoned home, even though there is a ton of evidence showing otherwise (electricity, kitchen appliances/newer faucets, etc)......
My guess would be doctor or lawyer's family home.
This house was designed to entertain
I was born in 1972 and I LOVE love anything retro,and you found the coolest vintage house!! It’s so full of character, it’s so sad this mansion will be torn down. Thankyou for showing us, but please slow it down a bit energizer bunny! Your viewers are relishing every morsel we see! Records are coming back so check them out,they have a very unique sound! You can play the small 45’s on any record player if you have plastic disc inserts to fit. Looking forward to exploring more great finds!! 👍🏼😀
Thank you!
Me, too. I LOVED houses like this when I was a kid.
Out of curiosity i looked up Simpsons store history. Defunct in 1991...that bag has been there awhile. Places like this , especially abandoned for so long, are awesome glimpses into the past.
