**UNTOUCHED Since 1962** Amazing Abandoned Mid Century Modern Home
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- This amazing untouched home was built in 1962. it was resided in by the original owner who paid only $23K in 1962 when it was built. they sold to a developer in 2020 for $4 million dollars!! now that's what i call profit!
however, i do find it kind of sad that a home where the same family made memories for nearly 50 years will just be completely destroyed when its demolished.
I feel so old watching someone react to a house like this. It was just a normal house when I was a kid lol. Now it seems so old to everyone. Playing in houses like this were the norm. Makes me feel really old and miss the simpler time of no internet and people being outdoors. I remember sitting outside with my parents and the neighbors doing the same visiting with each other. Now no one knows their neighbors but have followers on social media. Interesting changes to society and not always for the better.
I agree. I miss all of that,
The part where he had to identify VHS tapes made my ass feel old 😬
@@belle16117 it's never too late.
.I agree.!
Children in my town still go outside and play, I'm almost 18 and I myself go out and ride bikes and hang out with my friends or with the local neighborhood kids that are around my age. We play in the woods building forts and whatnot, it's a good way to feel like a kid again, my friends and I, along with a few local neighborhood teens do it every summer and we don't go inside till the street lights come on, that's me and my friends cerfew lol. We love it! ❤️
That’s sad because this home is beautiful and you know they don’t build homes like that anymore thank you for sharing this stay safe 😊
Yes,sad,that house is near my age in 1962 I was born 1966😊
@@lisaparsons8949 my house we bought 2 years ago was built in 1966.
@@randallwest1572 Houses built in 60s,we're pretty then.
@@lisaparsons8949 yes they were.
Thanks,I added to my comment😊
This home is called a ranch, not a bungalow. A bungalow is a different style structure.
Thank you for sharing
I love seeing homes decorated in vintage 60’s and 70’s.
Did that kid say, "VHS-- that's what they're called, right?" Holy shit I feel old lol
Hmm & to think they were first sold in the US in 1977!
Was about to say exact same thing OMG .... VHS aren't that old !
@@pattihainline1573 But video cassette players were an expensive toy for rich folks at that time. They weren't widely known and used until later in the '80s, when prices came down and video rental became a thing.
Definitely a one owner home of someone who grew old there. Those people had some money to design that large of a house on that size of land. All kitchens were that size in the 50s and 60s and not considered small. The wall paper on the large upstairs bathroom looked like it was updated in the 70s. I'm a mid century model myself, born in 1950.
And in ten years those big bold floral wallpapers will be back on walls everywhere.
@@tlockerk I hope not. And all that hideous wallpaper is not 60s or 70s, but 80s in that home.
@@terripebsworth9623 I am told by the younger crowd that the EIGHTYs are back! My daughter wants my 80s earrings- lol
@@MzJust1girl You mean "eighties."
@@tlockerkI hope not lol but it will
Absolutely gorgeous vintage home. So sad it's going to be demolished and replaced with a hideous building in the name of "progress"
I know right! Such a nice home. Wish it could be saved.
Development Project???
@@lisaruley5758 how ridiculous is that?
I want the 'old" lamp with the flower pattern on it!!!
@@deborahp64 That lamp with the flower pattern was so pretty. I'd take it too. Have a great day!
I'm literally in shocked of how clean and intact that house is considering everything is original from the 60s
There's lots of hidden stuff. Aluminum wiring would be the big one.
this house is not "untouched". it would be in rapid decay if it was.
Not untouched, they had movies from the 90s
“These are VHS- that’s what they’re called, right?” Ethan, you adorable baby.
He really is.
Haha! I wasooking for this comment as soon as I heard him say that
I was like how young is he?
Like the VHS tapes,miss those,And the fireplace
My 3 year old knows how to work a vcr. He goes over to his great granny’s and watches old Disney movies on VHS.
This house is in great shape compared to others we've seen. You can tell by the way they took care of it that they loved it a lot.
Not enough to update it, but just enough to keep it stuck in the '60s.
They did update it. They did a huge remodel in the 80s: wallpaper, carpets (livingroom was prob. 70s carpet), kitchen cab doors and counter, drapes, deck outside, etc.
They did update it a little bit. The VHS tapes are a late '70s-early 2000s thing, so they wouldn't have been there when the house was built. Also, some of the kitchen applicances, like the refrigerator and maybe the stovetop, are much newer than the '60s (the fridge is probably less than 20 years old). Also, the crazy wallpaper, although very retro-looking today, clashes with the mid-century modern look of the rest of the house, and probably wasn't added until the late '60s, at the earliest.
It doesn't NEED "updating!" Have you lost your mind??
Mechanicals. Only worry about those for "updating."
During inspection, you'll find all kinds of things messed up you wouldn't know to look for.
Worth it to pay an inspector if you plan to buy one or have one. They cost 450.00 to 600 or so. You'll be there about 4 hours on an average (2,500 sf house). Tho 2,500 would have been the biggest house on the block at the time (mid-late 60s).
@@sethdotson6915 And THAT is why it doesn't NEED "updating." Modern stuff (fixtures) looks stupid as hell.
Trying to buy 68 MCM house, they stole everything. I walked in and went omfg, what the F did they DO??
Write it all out and FILM IT. DO NOT TRUST AGENTS TO BE HONEST! 99.99% are huge effing liars.
The print in the dining room is by British artist George Stubbs, titled A Grey Hunter with a Groom and a Greyhound at Creswell Crags. The original was painted between 1762 and 1764 and is currently on display at the Tate Gallery in London. Heineken has a star, Moosehead has a moose. I love it when you ask for feedback about certain things. I pause the video and begin the Google adventure! Great explore :)
I feel so old hearing someone ask, "is that called VHS"? Very cool to see a house from the 60's with still mostly all of it's interior design in place with other time period stuff. A house like that should be kept as a museum piece of history. Time flies so fast, then we are gone.
My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass. But you, O LORD shall endure forever, and your remembrance unto all generations. (Psalm 102:11,12)
I was using VHS in 1998, and '99. It seems odd how people act as if this stuff is so old, when it was only a little over 20 years ago, I was using it.
Yeah, these youngsters, no VHS in the 60s ha, we still had reel to reel or super 8 and 8-track tapes and albums...I still have all of this stuff! I guess they don't remember betamax either, or pong on TV. Us boomers have created so many things for these young people to enjoy!
@@shelter9236 my late father had an 8 mm camera and projector, and I could thread that projector so well, I had it down to a science.
@@bonnieharris8112 Yep they think everything used before 2014 is prehistoric. 🤦 They suck.
VHS is 80s as is most of the interior design of the house: wallpaper, carpets, drapes, kitchen cab doors and appliances (except maybe the aqua stove), the deck out back, etc. Fireplaces and kitchen and dining room lights were original. None of those movies existed in the 60s and I believe VHS started in the early 80s.
Man I’m glad there is others out there that appreciate retro houses seems everybody loves the modern looks anymore keep doing what you do !!
I can almost see the progression of time there, from new with a young family to empty nesters, to retirement and finally elder care and off to the seniors res. Seems the kids didn't know what to do with some of the old dishes, and just gave up and left it all. Thanks Etan.
Or STEAL everything gd thing, like they did at one I want to buy.
Such a beautiful home so sad this old homes are getting demolished for development I take a 50s or a 60s home anyday before a "new"
That white wallpaper in the master was called “Flocked”. My mother’s was cream with light blue flure du leis(?). To update later, she painted over it with a light eggshell color; she was an interior designer and way ahead of her time.
Fleur de lis. (It's french).❤
4:39 “medieval dude” 😁 made me think of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure! 😀
I am at a loss for words. My dream in life is to own a 1950s house with mid century decor and a pink Cadillac. I’m in heaven watching this, such a beautiful time. I would love to step back in time and be alive then!
I was alive then. What would you like to know? 🙂
Nicky, have you ever thought about a Victorian home more reasonably priced than a 1950's home. I restored a Queen Anne from 1825 which took fifteen years to build from 1825-1840. It has stained glass windows, mahogany trim around the openings, winding staircases, walnut flooring and is absolutely stunning. West Virginia has some reasonably price home as well as certain cities in Michigan. We are talking America not Canada as Canadian prices are quite high and so are the taxes.
@@gloriahanes5338 Gloria Hanes, thank you so much for this kind response! I have thought to get a Victorian home but I am new to all of it. Do you mind me asking what price you were able to find yours for? I want to restore one so badly, I’ve been in love with architecture and design since I was a little girl, redesigning my Barbie dream home every single day. Haha! I’m 34 now, and honestly I was an acrylic artist for years and have recently stopped painting. Feeling very lost, no idea which direction to turn career wise. I’m just now even having my first (and ONLY!) child. It so behind 😂. Thank you for the kindest comment though Gloria, it really means a lot to me. Your Victorian home sounds like a dream! I bet the walnut flooring and wood staircase is so gorgeous around the winter time, dressed up for Christmas in a vintage 1800s style would be so beautiful!! I’ll await your response, hugs!
@@jankirschke7425 EVERYTHING ❤️🙌🏽 more specifically, what was it like for you growing up during the holidays?? I have tons of books on mid century Christmas. I collect Christmas antiques, my small apartment is filled with boxes of items from 1940-1970 holiday decor. What a dream!! I believe I was alive then as well but I feel I passed at an early age. (I believe in reincarnation). I’m just so drawn to the past, like I’ve been there before. Odd isn’t it ?
@@WorldOfNicky Although my father had a good job and was on the road to success, he was a child of the Depression. His frugality at the time payed off in future years.
I was born in 1956. Second of four children. My parents were born in Boston in the 1920’s (still alive!). Christmas time, as I recall, was the best time of year. Mama didn’t decorate much, or make Christmas cookies. So I didn’t know that people did that. Remember, they came from the Depression and decorating or cookie making would have been foreign to her. But we did have a tree each year. I recall going to a tree lot one year with my father and the smell of a fresh Christmas tree is my forever favorite scent.
We put tinsel on our tree each year, using the same two boxes of 15 cent tinsel at least until I went away to college. We had to put it on one piece at a time and return it to the box the same way. Unfortunately, no ornaments of the time period are still around. But they were the glass, very fragile type that you have probably seen. We used colorful strands of lights that got very hot to the touch.
We had tons of extended family but I actually don’t remember any Christmas parties. It wouldn’t have been possible to get so many people together. Plus, everyone was in the same financial situation so big galas weren’t a ‘thing’ with our crew.
Us kids always ‘shopped’ by looking through the Sears Christmas catalog. I remember taking it to bed with me. I always went straight to the baby doll section. I didn’t care about any other type of toy.
Pretty sure mama shopped for bargains and we never got anything out of the catalog. But, hope remained year after year. Mama knew our personalities and the presents we received were well thought out, just more economical than what was in the catalog.
Our family did nothing special on Christmas Eve. We were sent upstairs to bed at the usual 7:00 pm. At the bottom of the staircase were two doors, one which went to a bedroom and the other to the living room. We would gather at the top of the stairs and listen for Santa pattering away in the living room. None of us ever dared to take a peek, because rumor had it that an uncle had once received coal in his stocking because he had peeked. Later we would come to find out that Santa had placed a heavy chair against the door so chances of peeking were slim.
On Christmas morning my nerves were so excited that I was always the first one awake, and I would wake everyone else up ASAP. Probably around 6:00 am. Under our tree was always a glorious pile of toys. Santa couldn’t afford wrapping paper, so each item was left unwrapped. But we knew what was ours because we each had the same section under the tree each year.
One year I got a bike, which seemed totally magical to me. I couldn’t ride it right away because the streets were covered with snow. It was a torturous wait until the snow had melted. My brother and I each got a Flexible Flyer sled when we were very young. Over the years they got PLENTY of use! My dad took meticulous care of them and this year I’m going to travel to Michigan where they have lived for the past 50 years and snatch that precious sled and bring it to my baby grandson in New York. I don’t believe the sleds are ‘legal’ any more because they had runners which could injure an unsuspecting kid. However, that scenario never happened in all the years that we used our sleds. I guess kids back then were smart enough to get out of the way when a sled was plummeting towards them.
One Christmas I got a pogo stick. My personal record was 1,000 nonstop jumps which I competed in the cellar. I used that pogo stick to go traveling all over the neighborhood to visit my friends. Now that I think about it, walking would have been much easier!
Each year my hard working father would take a half day off from work and we would ride the train into Boston to look at all the wonderfully decorated shop windows and to see Santa. That afternoon each year was a highlight of my life! How I loved Santa, and I believed he loved me too. I stayed true to Santa until I was 11 or 12 years old.
The year that my brother was in second grade and I was in first grade, our trip to see Santa was delayed and I was mortified. That day, during school lunch, my brother had been caught spinning his empty milk carton on the table. He was kept after school for that offense! When he didn’t show up to all of us waiting in the car, Dad had to go into the school and find out where he was. Upon learning of my brother’s misdeed, a little piece of myself changed. I couldn’t figure out why it was such a big deal, at the same time I was so ashamed of my brother for committing such a crime. (Milk back then was two cents. My mother had a penny jar and we had to remember to take our pennies each morning or we were out of luck.). We only bought milk once a week when we were allowed to buy a hot lunch (35 cents). At all other times we carried our lunchbox.
I’m sure that folks all over the country celebrated Christmas with much more festivities than our family did. But, it was all we knew and we were delighted. My parents loved to give us whatever they could afford. They themselves got a tangerine in their stocking and that was about it. I still love Christmas, though due to distance and other reasons we don’t all get together. For those of the family who still live close to our parents, Christmas of 2020 was the first time in 65 years that nobody was in their home.
This was a fun trip down memory lane! I’m glad you are interested in the time period. Please let me know of any other questions you might have!
Imagine how may Christmas and family gathers they had there...to bad it’s being demolished...
I noticed, When watching Carlos channel, You are very quite, stay out of sight, respectful kind of guy. And then, watching your channel, he is just the opposite some time. 🤷🏻♀️
I notice too
Always that lamp we all had one
I don’t even know Carlos’ channel, but I’ve always thought the other blokes filming weren’t as respectful to Ethan as he appears to them. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
Yeah I pray for them!
Exactly. Carlos even threw candles at him. Fun stuff I know, but not while he’s taping
I really enjoyed this one. The house was in good shape considering the houses age and all original. The living room fireplace was really nice. Such a shame that older homes with character are destroyed. Especially ones in as good shape as this one. Epic find!
A shame their going to tear that down. I'd love to have that house.
They can be very dry and have a lot of issues w wiring and such. They have lead paint (go over it, don't SCRAPE IT). They have asbestos floors (don't frigging touch it, throw a rug over anything chipped). They have electrical issues. Aluminum wiring, 1968-72 Vietnam copper shortage.
Forgot how colorful the 60's were but was soon reminded by color scheme throughout house!!,great condition!!
little too much
This was like walking into every one of my friends homes growing up! The tile was very popular, the orange rugs I have seen before. One of my friends had a bright pink and red kitchen! I love the turquoise oven. My house was built in 1960. The kids rooms had giant butterflies on the wallpaper, one pink the other yellow. The master had white wallpaper with big raised velvet, navy blue designs, it could make you sick if you stared at it long enough but it was trendy in the 60's. Another fun find!
My Mom’s kitchen was orange indoor/outdoor carpeting, green cabinets and a gold fridge and stove.
Orange. From early 70’s - my fav color wth purple and brown
I had the big raised velvet red wallpaper in the bathroom, it reminded me of a bordello especially the extra large mirror over the vanity with the little star anchors to hold the mirror in place.
I found the same brass cabinet handles in Goodwill last week. They are now in my kitchen cabinets and look great in my ranch style mid century home. I am so glad some one donated them to Goodwill and did not end in the trash.
I was born in 1956 and we moved into our new home in 1964. It was built like a rock as houses were back then. It had the turquoise appliances that were still going strong in 2010 when my dad passed away. It’s interesting to look at the time evolution of the decorating of houses built in this era. The wallpaper was eighties...possibly nineties and the microwave was more likely eighties than seventies.
It is absolutely disgusting that this will be torn down for some mc mansions with half the build quality and six times the price.
These aren't cheap. I assure you. Trying to buy one in suburbs.
The owners stole EVERY GD thing, (fixtures. All original cabinet pulls...!!!) And left the mouse crap in the drawers and some aluminum wiring!!
.
So, now, everyone's getting sued and I'll have our lawyer put as lis pendens on that shite, so they can't sell it, either!
Possibly a coat of arms and a musket? Love the house!
Like the fireplace in the house.
Hello from Palm 🌴Springs! Man I could almost smell that bathroom! Yuk smellovision!
The untouched house for 60 years! Looks like museum!
Great explore 👌
Thanks for sharing ❤
This house is so beautiful thanks for sharing its sad that it being demolished could have been fixed or restored keep up the great adventures much love to you be safe
Good morning from California! Ya know what’s cool, sometimes after looking at your treasured home tours - I have amazing dreams. Thanks for that. 🦋
Hi from Ballarat, Victoria, Australia!
Way to make me feel old with that VHS question....
The marks on mantle where something had hung made me think they must have been “horse brasses”. It looks like they had quite a collection.
Beautiful house.
One of the Best Houses you showed it's So Big So many Rooms! I would buy It in a Heartbeat
Yes VHS’ 😅🤣 that part made me giggle
Love Love Love this house!! You are completely correct, Best House ! I wouldn't change "nothing" about it..
Wow, it looks like my grandma's house before she renovated in the 80's. Very cool.🇨🇦
Yes mam,my Grams house too.❤
gee I wonder why she would ever want to do that!?
/s
your grandma did well 👍👍
“For a development project.” What a shitty prospect
Omg. I loved this. It reminded me of my childhood and made me smile.
Very retro home.I bet the owners lived there since they bought it and never updated it.Now it's sold to a developer. Seems to be the norm nowdays.Ilike the fireplaces. I can remember that type of carpet in my parents house when I was a kid in the 70s.
Me too,all them greens,oranges,browns were the fashion I was born in 69, the good old days,I'm glad I grew up in the 70s played in the street now here in Australia anyway u don't see kids playing outside anymore its sad
@@annettelacey7913 I know what u mean.I live in Texas and I hardly see kids playing outside.
I wish people would renovate old homes instead of tearing them down. Just an idea.
There are dish patterns I caught a glimpse of in the garage that go for an absolute mint on Etsy. That small table in the LR as well. I dunno if you own/know who owns this property but if so don't let them sleep on that!
Sweet home you can tell it was looked after with love. Very clean.
Please forgive my multiple comments,...I just love this video. What happy memories this brings to my mind n how it warms my heart. I'm buying my Grams bungalow if I ever hit the lottery
Another great explore, Ethan! What is up you guys? Love that. You're the best. Stay safe. Love ya!
Beautiful!!! I would buy it! These home are so expense now days.
It is always fun going through these homes as you take us along. Thank you Ethan.
Well loved and incredibly maintained home. I love the sunflowers in that bathroom, I'd love just one in a frame. Thanks for braving the cold Ethan. All of these houses, along with some winter down time has me starting to remake them in the Sims to alleviate stress. Stay safe out there...and warm.
You are really getting good with knowledge about the details of these homes. When they decorated that house it was for life. Those were some decent hand tools in the garage. Really cool explore. Thanks for sharing.
It's cool to see that style was popular in Canada at the same time as in the USA. Our current house was built in 1977 and was nearly untouched when we bought it. Most of it still is for now. A couple of those rooms look like they had some updates but nothing past the 80s. Some of the things you mentioned were "old" weren't that old but since I'm not young I'm biased.😂 Oh one of those "decorations" on the wall in the basement area by the bar was a wall mounted bottle opener.
Ethan: 'These are VHS tapes right?' ..... RaHaHaHaHa ..... that makes me feel so so old!
Don't feel old. It's just that he is really young.
It really is a shame watching this knowing that it is doomed to be destroyed. What a waste of a still pretty good house that just needs a little updating and TLC to look retro modern
I was born in 62.. absolutely gorgeous! Ty again Ethan for your time...
How sad that some beautiful abandoned places need to be flattened and no one seems to either want them or can afford to use them. Bummer. Thanks for the entertainment!
Binge watching my three favorite explorers today yet again,in one of my favorite style houses.I had a great idea,if I win the lottery,as I commented before on this video,and I buy Grams bungalow,I will personally invite you guys for a house warming party,complete with pizza,snacks,doda-all the fixings!!!I truly mean this!!I'm a person of my word.😊
It looks like they did some updating in the 80s. That pink-on-black was def 80s. My sister bought a couch with that same pattern in 1987. Orange shag carpet is definitely 1976. Pink and brown are the colors of the 50s. Don't know where those huge, hideous sunflowers in that bathroom came from but they remind me of decor in the film "Rosemary's Baby", 1968. Having been born in 1960 and my mom being into interior design, I don't recall ever having seen anything like that. Somebody was definitely "different". You know, back in the day, we could have a nice house like this with plenty of open land space. Now, we're having too many buildings crammed onto one small section of land, almost on top of one another with no "elbow room". Living 50-60 years from now is going to be utterly unbearable. I predict shipping container apartments stacked a dozen high, lined side to side for as far as the eye can see. No more trees at all, cutting off our oxygen supply and people jammed so close to one another 24/7/365 that we're constantly fighting or killing each other. Children have no safe place to play outside. Shuttle buses taking people to the local 20-story parking garage to get their cars to go to work - and everyone begging and longing for the days before open borders because we had space to live and grow as human beings. Sigh.
Ha, that's the way of it now. Look at the Housing Estates in the UK and the Housing Projects in the US. Very sad.
Shag carpets were the big rage for carpeting in the 1960s. So were spackled ceilings.
My grandmother had a pink and black tile bathroom from the 50’s
I think houses are getting bigger, better floor plans and more spacious as the years go on.
I think most people would rather live in more modern homes as opposed to the past.
The wealthy will live in gated enclaves, while the poor will be jammed into cargo container's that are locked in daytime because everyone MUST work.
It’s actually a pretty big house for the age of it but it’s also beautiful
Buying one that's fully custom. It's a big sucker for the time.
Hi! Thank You So Much for Showing Us this home! I can’t believe that half the homes you show are going to be demolished! These older homes remind me of when l was young “The Shag carpets etc.” l remember after my Mom (RIP) would vacuum, l would rake the carpet with a plastic rake especially for shag carpets, now if l tell my Grandsons about that,they look at me like l’m crazy! Your brave to be out there in the cold! Please take care, stay Safe and Healthy and God Bless You! Looking forward to more videos!
I had forgotten about The Rake for shag carpets!
Awesome Adventure , I Really Enjoyed It. Stay Safe And warm. Glad You Had Your Buddies With You Also.
I watched this on 2/14/21 I wanted to say thank you the best birthday gift ever born 2/15/62
You loved the closet door because you love to close doors. When I watch other Urbex explorer's I tell them to make sure they close the doors 🚪 Ethan will haunt you. Don't test him.
Teal was a color in the 80's and early 90's...that oven was aqua...a color of the late 50's to early 60's. Other 1960's colors.for appliances and fixtures and such were avocado, autumn brown, and harvest gold...as well as pink and aqua and powder blue porcelain fixtures. Lolol
I find these colors a bit weird.
With later movies like "MIB" and "Independence Day" I do not believe Ethan NEVER saw a VHS tape before this. What this looks like to me is the person living there was elderly, died or went into care and the heirs of the estate likely decided to sell because of the money it would bring them. This house was last lived in 2019 that invalid toilet was fairly new from the looks of it so it was bought shortly before the elderly person left. While this home is of the period, that tile did not have asbestos in it. The home I grew up in had similar tiles and some came off it was solid with no other fibers in it, so very unlikely contained asbestos, Also my father did some floor work in the basement and in 1974 he was able to still buy the same tile. It was neat seeing this abandoned house. I am not that nostalgic to feel it doesn't need to be replaced. I enjoyed hearing Ethan say "This is SO OLD," vintage, yes. Old not really.
LOL That's a 60s ranch style house with a big time 80s remodel. The only thing in that house that still looked 60s were the fireplaces, sliding shutter doors in the main livingroom, light fixtures in the kitchen and dining room, maybe the aqua-colored stove, and the base of the kitchen cabs (the cab doors were updated or replaced, as well the kitchen countertop). ALL of that hideous wallpaper, the carpets, the curtains, and those VHS tapes were 80s or later. None of those were 60s or 70s movies. The orange-red carpet in the livingroom was likely 70s. "Sculpted" carpet is 80s, as well as that deck built off the back. The 80s are infamous for hideous wallpaper prints like those used generously in this home. And the gold frame on the wall print is worth much more than the print. Pity to see these sturdy old homes go. That one could have been nicely restored.
The appliances in the cupboards were so rad!!! And the BATHROOM... 😍
I love the stair-step shelves on the fireplace.
Today I visited a house from the 70's and there was a nutone master 2067 station radio on the wall that I spent most of the time tuning it and listen to Christmas songs ,just incredible experience
Another fascinating tour Ethan! I Love all the fireplaces in this house. All that wallpaper, OMG! I'm sure it was trendy back then. Oh, those small cans of paint that we saw in the workshop could have been for painting projects that someone built ... like those wooden chairs and/or the built-ins. Anywho, thanks for sharing this. Stay Safe! 👊
"It's freezing"- you're in Canada- in winter. This house does have some upgrades. The stainless stove exhaust fan is later. Stainless doesn't become popular for kitchen appliances until late 80's-90's. The original was probably turquoise like the built-in oven. The cooktop also should have been turquoise. That's what the appliance colour was- not teal. Teal comes later. The welded steel fireplace insert would date from late 70's on. They really weren't popular until then. They were a way to increase the efficiency of classic brick fireplace. In the basement, that is a Lancaster bomber photo. The mark on the beam appear to be marks where military regimental badges may have been hung. At least the shapes resemble RAF/RCAF squadron crests. At 21:40, the thing hung on the wall with the little door was a match holder. You're probably correct that someone moved in 1962 and lived out their life there until it became impossible to remain. More likely that two generations lived there. In 1962, a WWII veteran would have been at the peak of their earning power and purchased the house. One of their children, born in the late 30's or early 40's lived there until 2019.
"Stainless doesn't become popular for kitchen appliances until late 80's-90's."
Sorry to disagree but my parents remolded their kitchen in 1964 and put in a stainless steel stove exhaust fan.
@@davidparker4797 No problem. I just didn't remember them that early. I'll stand corrected.
This home is very similar to my Husband's parents home that was built the year he was born in 1961. Down to the pink bathroom.
(Theirs was pink/grey, not pink brown)
The family sold it in 2016. It was a really solid home. Thanks Ethan. Very nostalgic!
Sweet find. Loved the light fixture in the front room and beautiful brick fireplace was pristine shape. Have several of those VHS tapes. Liked the aqua painted inside of the kitchen cabinets very retro. Would love to have that cool carpet and groovy wallpaper awesome. I did also really like the French doors built ins for dishes in the dinning room and the black and pink was cute. The thing on little shelf was a Ginger Jar I believe for just decoration. But they do look like urns that's why I never really liked them. Kitchen was very sweet not to big and was cozy feeling. All in all wonderful find. Thanks for doing such a tremendous job and braving the smell of the bathroom for us so we could not miss a what's up. Too kind. You looked handsome and adorable in your Parka winter coat with the hood pulled up. Thanks for showing your magnificent smile at the end. Oh and of course truly loved the pink and brown bathroom. The best. Again someone in America bring back the pink tubs please. Blessings for you and stay safe. WE LOVE YOU. MARYLAND USA 🌬❄☃️⛄❣
Fantastic house! By the way, Ethan, 'Pretty Woman' and 'Sleeping With The Enemy' are both really good movies! You should watch them sometime.
Nice!! Thank you for sharing this with us. That is like going home!
Ethan, I just knew that you were closing those cabinets before you did it! LOL
LOVE the oven 😍😍😍😍😍!
I always enjoy your videos, Ethan. Great narration (I enjoy listening to your voice; it's very calming!), respectful observations, and closing all the doors! 😉
After seeing all that snow outside, that Great looking Fireplace should be lit up for sure. Good one, thanks.
Cool house. This is one of my favorite houses. Such character. Too bad they are demolishing so many nice houses. Can u slow down a little? My eyes are having a hard time keeping up. Almost makes me dizzy when u whip that camera so fast.
There is a cool house called the Brady Bunch house. AWSOME house. I think it was up for daeth by wrecking ball to.
The black har on the corner shelve is a ginger jar.
Sandy Fuqua me mum had a blue one I think iv got it somewhere xx
Brick fireplace is beautiful. French doors haven't seen them in a while. Love the wall paper with flowers. Fire places are all sooo beautiful. Again thanks for sharing with us. Brings back memories of long ago.
I wonder if they kept the home decor magazine because the house is shown inside?
Was the house in the magazine?
I had that exact thought when he found it. Not much of a reason to keep it unless for something like that.
Really cool house. Nice old style. I really liked this house. Nice and cozy. U guys are so silly.😂 Thanks for sharing. Until next time✌
I’d live there in a heartbeat. This style house is hard to find and they are in demand.
The house was nice the colors I didn't like. I could go in and redecorate that place. The kitchen stove was terrible. Anyway Ethan I really enjoyed. Thank you. Grandma
Talk about going Retro this house is so Retro...Love it, such a great video a shame it's going to be demolished...Thank you great job!
What is up Ethan. Such a beautiful house. Love the wall to ceiling fireplace. To bad that it is going to be demolished. Thank you for the share❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful older home, hope they can save it.
Beautiful home...love the curtains, great collection of VHS movies.. Lovely tour..thank you as always..peace guys..
The old style is so cosy and beautiful. Modern architecture and interior is sooo cold. I hope someone who appreciate this old treasure will buy this house as such things doesn't come back.
As you guys know,bungalows hold a special place in my heart,as my Gram lived in one!!!🙂❤
Houses from the 60s are cool
My first time to your video and I'm impressed. I quit watching guys videos dumpster diving because they acted like total jerks. They used foul language contsantly, made snide remarks about items in the bins, had terrible camera experience, and I could say more. You are really level headed, don't say trash about the trash, pretty good with the camera, ( just need a little more light) and you do a great job of showing the treasures you found, and you are thinking of others that can benifit from your trips out. Good luck and stay safe.
From the looks of this home it was recently lived in. It does need loads of updating. It reminds me of the Brady Bunch Home.
My daughter and son in law bought a home that is soooo very much like this one, minus the wallpaper and carpeting, it has wood floors, built in 1960. It has one wall of brick with a fireplace in the living room with 3 shelves made of concrete that are just like this one. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 small bathrooms upstairs, and a finished basement, with a very nice bathroom larger than upstairs ones, very similar to this house. It has a 3 season room with a built in stone grill for cooking off the living room. What I find incredible is, this was a Drs home, and he delivered my son in laws father back in the day! It certainly isn't the high end home you would find most Drs in today, it's just maybe 1/4 bigger than neighboring homes on the block. There was a large picture of the Dr that built this home and raised his family there in the attic. My daughter and son in law took it off the floor and hung it up in the attic as a tribute to him, he has been deceased for many yrs now. They feel blessed to have him looking over them, as my daughter puts it. This is still, even with modern furniture and some updates ( kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and bathroom remodels) a very beautiful home. Thank you for posting about this house, a real shame that it's being demolished.
Loved this House! Thanks for a nice job filming!
I am loving these tours... takes you back in time.. I'm sooo happy to have found you!
Thank you Ethan this is my favorite home.. We had this swag lamp.. Lol. I love your commentary.. Thank you for showing. It does make me alittle sad.
That was a cool house...very retro. Always hated that tile though lol. I usually hate paneling but it freakishly worked in that house. Thanks again!!
Hey Ethan great job filming in this freezing weather 🥶 Crazy wallpaper. Loved the hardwood floors and fireplaces. You can see the different decades in the decor. Memories came flooding back of my grandparents, Uncles and Aunts homes. You always make me laugh when you aren’t sure of something: These are vhs tapes? 😁 I have a ton and my grandkids love them. Stay warm and safe
What a great video guys.Loveit when all 3 of yall are together. Safety in numbers, yall matter to me.
Love this and especially the hanging lamp in the living room. This is the year that I was born. Thankyou for all of the explanations you do! Stay safe
What a shame, this mid century house to be demolished. SMH thanks for sharing 👍
Nice find Ethan! Love retro MCM! Well built preserved home. 😀
