- In this episode of Urban Exploring, I will be taking you for a tour through this beautiful retro 1970's era bungalow, which is abandoned, and located right in one of the busiest parts of the city. This house belongs to a small stretch of homes that are also slated to be demolished and re-developed into multi family dwellings in the near future. Inside, you will find a beautiful family home, that was well taken care of, retains much of its original 1970's charm with some modernizations over the years, including some INTERESTING wallpaper choices. The best part of this home, is the incredible sunroom addition, so you don't want to miss this one! Join me for a last look at this beautiful home!

Rewatched after a fun livechat.
This one gets a name also, by it's exterior I'll call it "The Leave it to Beaver House".
Belive it or not I sincerely belive this one originally dates back to the 1950's with updates in different places at different times. I belive there were plans for a partial or full finish for the second floor judging by the finished stairs to get there, why not just have a trap door?
Thanks for the tour Greg!
👍🤠
Notes:
1:21 Judging by the exterior brickwork this house looks to be old as the mid 50's.
4:13 Original older looking door knob and lock, door and doorway including the glass block.
10:21 Originally a bath sink vanity split in the middle to fit the sanitary tub.
23:25 Original 50's style cast iron tub, never replaced probably due to it's excessive weight. The house I grew up in had an identical one, that house was built in 1954.
27:01 Early 60's light fixture.
I actually wondered if the house was older but some of the details seem to be stuck in the '70s. And everything else seem to be modernized a little bit. But you're right that railing does kind of scream a different era doesn't it. And the brickwork also. I think you have some good points there. I'm also going to pin this so everybody else can enjoy it! Thank you for being there as always John, I appreciate your viewership and comments, and everything you say in the chats. I'm really glad you enjoyed this one.
He said knob.....
I sure did

Hi Greg 😊, I LOVE this sweet little dollhouse! ❤ Can't somebody save this home? It's NOT that fargone! It is absolutely as clean as a whistle, excellent sweet home! 🪻🌷🌼⚘️🪷🌸🌻🌹⚘️
I love this gorgeous home and I bet there are some beautiful hardwood floors under the carpet.
Hey Nancy!! Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed this place. I wouldn't be surprised if they carpeted over beautiful hardwood. That seems to happen all the time
Thats so sad that this house was abandoned, its quite surprising that the exterior and interior is so clean, it could be lived in if the basement wasn’t flooded.
Hey Richardmemesgames, I agree, it's always sad when you see these types of places forgotten like this. This one could have been saved, but now it's too far gone.. Thank you for watching and commenting, I hope to hear from you again!
Looks more like a mid to late 60s style. That decorative wooden lattice, dividing rooms and even used on staircase landings was common in that era. People would put knick-knacks, vases, plants on them. Sometimes they also used wrought iron scrolling poles and posts like on porches. Brings back lot of childhood memories visiting my relatives.
Yeah a few people in the chat said that during the video but there seem to be plans or something there that said 1978. I didn't see them myself so I can't verify that 100%. Perhaps they were trying to keep that old feel though when they built the house. I wish I had looked myself so I knew. I love all those little features and I always enjoying those memories come back like that. Thanks for checking this out and leaving a couple comments I appreciate it
Hi Greg, a beautiful and cozy house. It looks bigger from the inside than from the outside. I like those crystal knobs on the doors, I've never seen those here in Germany, in older houses. Such a shame that the basement is flooded, the bar area is really nice, it invites you to party.... except for the footbath.😉 My favorite of the whole house was the sun room, super nice. Thanks for another fantastic exploration and video, Greg. 👍😊
Hey Andrea, thank you very much for watching this one and the kind words. I always appreciate you taking time to watch these! I'm surprised you haven't seen crystal knobs there in Germany, they seem to be common here! I think that bar area would have been great as well. Thank you again, see you in the next one!
I would take that refrigerator in a heartbeat if it worked. My Sears refrigerator has lasted forever.
thaismatsumoto there is that old saying, they don't make them like they used to.. I totally agree with that especially with refrigerators , thank you so much again for watching and commenting!
Nice house off the bat. Love the yard. You have to show the best first the glass doorknobs ❤ Love that huge window and brick fireplace. .like the built ins between those rooms. like still can see a view from that sink lol. Look at that stained glass door. 😍 Sunroom. Yes that Is one of the nicer sunrooms 😍 😻😻 Some cool lIght fixtures thru-out Greg good explore 👍 See you at the next explore Greg ✌✌
Hey Catherine! I'm glad you saw this one, the sunroom was amazing eh? Found many of those this year. I also love the huge window as I usually point out in every video. I'm really happy you saw this and enjoyed it thank you again!!
Hi, still catching up on your older videos. I love this house! Too bad about the basement. I hope this place is not going to meet the iron claw but I have a feeling🤔. Great video, thank you for sharing!🧡🏚🏘
Hey Kimberly! Thank you for watching these and it was really nice to see you at the premiere last night. The basement has always a bad sign when it comes to whether it's going to meet the ironclaw or not. I think we both know what's happening next. Thank you so much for watching it and I'll talk to you in the next one!
Wow la amo!!!❤❤❤
Hey rafaelina,! Thank you for watching another one of my videos, I'm very happy to see that you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much!!!
Beautiful house
Hey Virginia! Thank you for watching and commenting, I'm glad you enjoyed the home. I hope you'll check out some more of my videos!
Another cool abandoned place mate she looks good. The front door stands out definately, the fireplace reminds me of a church altor. I always love the style of wallpapers bro and of course the crystal knobs yay. Dont drown down there man I guess thats all the snow melting and seeping into the basement. Another Uncapped Films episode mate cheers Brother.
Hey Werner! Thanks so much Im glad you saw this and enjoyed it. It had some great features right? I didn't want to fall with my camera down there lol
@@UncappedFilms lol it’s probably not water proof and those bricks didn’t look safe
And wobbly lol
In this video you say it is weird to have the laundry room in the middle of the house. Not weird at all. You can have the laundry anywhere you desire. I've built them for customers on the second floor and in the basement. It's up to the customer. This home may have a sump which would not be working if the electricity was disconnected. Therefore flooded basement.
It just felt weird to me. I'm used to it on the first floor, usually near some kind of exit. I've seen them on the second floor, I even find that slightly odd lol. But yes you're right it doesn't really matter. I just never have seen one like that in the middle of the house before. It's weird to me lol!
You always seem to find the most interesting abandoned houses. BTW
LemonLang kicks ass brotha
🤘💀🤘
Thanks loco!! I appreciate the kind words and I do my best to find cool places for you guys. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment (and listen)
Loved this one! The wood gives it such a cozy warm atmosphere. They just don't make them like this anymore. Thanks for the video. The live chat is always fun. 👍
Hey grouchyfish! Glad you made it today, and those are my feelings exactly about the wood. It just gives us cozy comfortable feeling doesn't? I love those rooms. Thank you for watching and commenting and we'll see you in the next one I hope
Such a big backyard, which is a rarity for a house that size. The fireplace in the living room was really lovely for that era. It’s interesting that there are usually toilet rolls left in houses. Lovely, large sunroom and nice but short and sweet. Thanks for sharing as always. You do such a great job.
Thank you Kathi! And I'm glad that you got to make this one cuz it's a rare occurrence when I'm at 7:00. The fireplace really was amazing, I loved it. I know you like shorter videos so I try to sometimes keep them reasonable lol
The sunroom is awesome! Love the Angled Pine wood paneling!!! They had a nice basement. Could have some awesome parties down there. Awesome explore as always!!
Yeah man that sunroom was amazing, and with all the pine in this place I knew you was absolutely love it. Thank you for being there again today, it's been amazing having you part of this ride
The quickest I've ever came up with a name for an explore- "the Leave it to Beaver house".
Lookin forward! Yep!
👍🤠
I like it! See you there
Uncapped!! Absolutely loved this home! The outside of the home was beautifully deceiving, you wouldn't expect it to be so large inside.
The knobs were fantastic, but I think I would forgo the wallpaper 😊
Loved the sunroom and the neat stairs in the kitchen.. ok... I loved it all!
Excellent showing, chat was great!
Keep on keepin' on!🤘🤘
Hey SMIPA! I knew you would love the knobs that's why I kept pointing them out and giggling every time lol but yeah it really was a cool house lot of cool interesting features and that sunroom was one of the best things ever. Glad you enjoyed the chat today too,it was a little wild wasn't it!
@@UncappedFilms LOL!! You know I always appreciate your knob knowledge 🤣🤣 and it's been awhile since we've seen one 🤣🤣😭
The chat was great, just keeps getting better! Such a great crowd you have, love em all 😀💕
I was extremely overtired last night and man, do I get goofy! So glad to be part of your journey and meeting some great peeps along the way 😘🤘
SMIPA, I'm really glad you're part of this journey too. And that you find some of the stuff I say so funny. I knew it was a few episodes since I had mentioned knobs so I made sure to really mention them in this one lol
@@UncappedFilms Yes! You really pointed them out nicely and the chat just LOVED it 🤣🤣
Love your sense of humor and glad to be here!
Have a great weekend 😀🤘💕
The carpeting in the basement is purely for decorative purposes, not a cat.
thaismatsumoto that's interesting, i'm not sure I'm a fan of it looks wise.. what do you think of it? I have seen it done for cats before, so I assumed.... thanks again!
This place was a bit bigger than it looked from the outside. Awesome Explore, definitely not a disappointment. Keep Orange Crushing it!
Yeah it kind of was wasn't it? It's a pretty cool place inside I thought. Glad you were there and part of things has always, couldn't do it without you. Thank you very much for everything
Very nice house. If it wasn't for the flooded basement it would be ready to be lived in. Nice yard and outbuildings. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the tour.
Hey Liz! I agree it was very nice, had some really cool features to it. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I thank you for watching and commenting! Hope to hear from you again
Awesome video that was fun
Hey Joshua thank you for being there as always. Really appreciate you man and I'm glad that you enjoyed it
@@UncappedFilms new phone who dis? Lol
Beautiful! Can't wait! 💃💃
See you there!!
hey greg this old styled retro 1970s home is a really strange looking place on the inside your not wrong on the old styled bathroom fittings going back into the 80s style looking cool and a laundry being half way into the house wow thats really strange as this is the first ive ever seen that in a house then the bathroom not that far from the laundry basement was kind of wierd seeing all that water and the bar looked pretty awsome once again greg thanks for another awsome video mate look forward to your next explore.😀😁👍🤟👏🏠🌞.
Hey Peter! Thank you for watching this video, looks like you really enjoyed this one and all the little things that were in this place. I'm glad to see that and I'm really happy to hear that from you. Thank you so much for watching as always I really appreciate you and we'll see you in the next one
That pine paneling in the basement is very nice. Thought that was a stripper pole! Lol😅
Hey Sharon! That's a fuzzy stripper pole though isn't?? Lol the paneling down there was very nice, I liked it
I like the blue rug and big windows beautiful.
Hey Donna! I'm glad you liked the video! The windows are great eh?? Thank you for watching and commenting again, I really appreciate it
Love this house and so clean for an abandoned
Hey Suzanne!! I'm glad you enjoyed this place. If really was a nice find. It won't last long enough to become a complete disaster...I don't think. Thank you for watching and commenting
I look forward to watching more, all the way from New Zealand. Oh I love the introduction music. Headbands from way back.🎉
Thank you Suzanne!! I love that you love it!! \m/
The exterior is absolutely gorgeous 🥰 could possibly have a decent family 😻 living here ....sad 😢
"Could possibly have a decent family living here"
Ward, June, Wally and The Beaver.
👍🤠
It is sad. Wait til you see inside!
The exterior of this would work great for tv show houses.
Ha! My first thought on first seeing it, Leave it to Beaver house!
👍😆
@@JohnShinn1960 LMAO I thought the same thing hahahaha
Totally agree!!
Thanks Greg, that was an interesting house. I actually like the outside better than the inside but it seemed to be a nice solid house until you got to the basement. 🧡
Hey Carol I'm glad you were there again for the premiere, thank you for joining this thing with us cuz we have a lot of fun. The outside definitely has a lot of charm but I'm surprised you didn't like the inside. Perhaps the pool was distracting lol
@@UncappedFilms Yes, there is a lot of fun in the chat, I enjoy it. As for the house, the inside just wasn't my style.
Well sometimes that happens but I'm glad the chat made up for it!
I swear there is a house just like it in Orillia. I had a double take lol
Really?! I was up there today
Can’t wait
See you there!!
Such a shame its being knocked down to make way for more homes .
But i suppose the land is worth more than the houses great video as usual honey i really love watching .😘
Hey Glenys. It is a shame but unfortunately the land is worth much more to be redeveloped and resold as multiple houses. Seems typical of the ways of today. Thank you so much for watching, appreciate you being here every single week. Glad you enjoyed it
@@UncappedFilms be watching again tomorrow on the big screen as I usually do honey great explore as usual 😘
I'm glad!
This house is screaming 1980's. But definitely a combination of different decadess....of course I am not an expert but the exterior looks 80's or 90's. Maybe the exposed brick is covering up old stuff. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this house is not actually retro but instead 1980's.
Hey myboyz! I'm pretty sure the house is older than that but you could have a couple of valid points. 1980 is still pretty retro at this point though wouldn't you say?? Thanks for watching and commenting! I hope you'll check out some more of my videos!
Nice yard to.
Yes beautiful yard! Thank you Donna
So sad when they demolish a perfectly good home just to build another. I'm sure this home is just a beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. 😢
I agree it's very sad, even worse when they replace it with 40 generic looking places
Rich man's projects
Lol yeah
These places need get sold new owner I hate waist good homes
Hey Teresa, thank you for watching and commenting, I totally agree. These ones are actually going to be replaced though
Yup, once again replacing a great, high quality, well built spacious home with cheap, low quality "cram 'em in" "residential units". American lifestyle standards continue to sink.
Hey Waukee. It's a shame but it's the way of the world right now it seems. Everything was character it's becoming replaced with bland and generic. Remember the good times!! Thank you for watching and commenting
in my estimation this house was not abandoned, everything is too perfect
Except for the basement if you haven't seen it. The area is actually going to be all torn down.
Thank you for watching and leaving the comments by the way!
No sneak peak short… 😢
Haha sorry nope
This house could still be lived in. Just needs some refreshening. Its too bad cookie cutters are going to replace this. Another great Job Uncapped Films. Big Hugs 😊😊
Thanks for being there with us. I agree it was a nice place and it's definitely could still be used. Cookie cutter Replacements are taking over.
