This house made me smile. It gives the impression a well loved happy home. I really like the bathroom s and kitchen.I probably would have labeled the paneled room the den a library. Really neat!! Thanks for sharing it with us!! ☺
I like that modified open floor plan. Big areas but separated so that it's actual rooms, not like so many echoing areas of modern open designs. That trompe l'oeil was certainly unexpected but why not? I've seen those crown moldings like that before. There's a florescent lighting system inside. It gives a muted light up to the ceiling. They weren't very popular because back then florescent tubes gave off a harsh greenish tinted cold light that made everybody look like hell. You couldn't use a dimmer because of the ballast. You could buy pink tubes but it wasn't a good pink and was used mostly in the meat section of supermarkets to make meat look redder. It tended to do the same to people. Now a couple of strings of LEDs would work in that if you wanted. I think whoever lived here wanted a tropical Caribbean house and did a pretty good job of giving it that feel. I liked this house. Good video.
Oh, that's interesting about the crown moldings with the lights behind it. I'm not a fan at all of fluorescent lighting, nor a fan of LED but at least LED is somewhat of an improvement. It just lacks the same softness and colour that only incandescent seems to have! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment!!
This is an interesting one. On camera it looks like you can walk thru the doorway that is painted on the wall, especially looking at how well the floor on the wall matched the actual floor. Good find and TFS.
You were right about the kitchen. The kitchen and the den were the best rooms in the house because they seemed to be the least modified. Whoever moved in later and renovated everything had no sense of feng shui. Easter palette + excessive early 2010’s “luxury” = a mess.
Definitely the 80's the pastels are pretty for its time. This would have been a wonderful house, for a large family. With several gathering for special events. Thank you for touring it and sharing it with us. There are so many doors, you don't open them all, or did you? I'm so curious I like seeing everything.
I'm pretty sure i check all the rooms but may have missed a closet or two...they generally aren't very interesting. Definitely a cool house though. Thanks for the comment!!
God forbid you might leave a tree. You may actually have to rake a leaf! A beautiful outdoor property, until stripped flat. Highly doubt whatever comes will enhance the neighbourhood. I loved the light fixtures, and the mural. Whoever painted that did a wonderful job. Built-ins are also a favourite thing. Those chairs in the basement didn't look like much, but were actually worth a fair amount. I wonder where they ended up... Got to say, as a special interest of mine, I was fascinated by the selection of whisky (albeit empties) in the place! Most of those bottles start at well over $300. Yes, start at... Really liked this explore, thanks for doing it ☺️ Cheers James! Marian 🇨🇦
Ya, that mural was amazing, really does look like an open door going outside. Starting at $300 a bottle? That is crazy but i guess they could afford it! Thanks Marian, glad you enjoyed this one!!
Love the house so sad but look at the ones in scotland is so sad great big houses rutting away xcold windy feery off son can not go to work peace and freedom x
In the master bedroom, where you noticed the molding not all the way up to the ceiling, was specifically designed that way for lighting that was above it.. Mood lighting I think they call it..😉👍 Thanks for the explore.. So sad homes such as these aren't saved..🤷♂️ Oh well, on to the next..
That was probably a den/study with all the paneling in it and the TV. That was a swag valance. I don't see this as an $8 million dollar home but maybe the location is what makes it worth so much. I'll stick to the country somewhere where land is cheaper 😉
Ok swag valance, that one is going to be hard to remember. Yes, this one was all about the property value, if the house wasn't there it still would have been worth that much, it's crazy. Thanks for the comments!!
Nothing in this world is free. But when you can abandon a property. No family step up to claim it after one year it goes unkept. While so many people are wanting to become home owners. And. Have been met with road blocks from some sort. Homes like this should be given up for $1.00 like a gift to a disabled person. That's all I have to say.
I can understand your point of view but what you are describing has already happened but to a more extreme degree. In Cuba, the government seized all foreign properties and redistributed them to the Cuban people. Look at the Cuban people now they are dirt poor and can barely afford anything other than food, electricity and water and those are subsidized by the government. I'm sorry but i just don't think that would work.
The former owners toasted their home upon imminent departure. With the tidy profit they no doubt received; it was definitely a time for celebration. Too bad for the mid-century design of this home that will be traded for a big box, soul-less McMansion. But...progress🤨
I mean they definitely made a profit on the sale of the home but it's not like as a percentage it's more than any other home. Always a shame to see these mid century homes getting demolished, they are disappearing so quickly. Thanks for the comment!!
Super cool space. I wonder why there is so much mold, though. I'm in Georgia, US, and it always amazes me how much mold these places have. Is it because the frost gets in during the winter?
I think it's just due to general lack of maintenance when these places sit without heat and power. If the water is building up against the foundation walls and sitting there it can wreak havoc on a home, especially when it can freeze over the winter and creat cracks in the concrete. Glad you liked the house and thanks for the comment!!
Lol maybe it was the ghosts of the previous owners? Lol It's actually just the lens autofocusing, the microphone placement on this camera was very poorly chosen. Thanks for the comment!!
It hadn't been abandoned all that long. Also, dust is created by dead human skin cells and since nobody was living there, there is almost no dust created
This area is getting too developed. Everything original is slowly being demolished and replaced by McMansions(blech). It does have a great area for a vinyl room. Hahaha. Another great explore. Saw you in Noah’s recent video too.
Haha ya he offered to put me in his video when we ran into each other, hopefully i didn't look too much like a deer in headlights! Ya, that den/library would be perfect for your vinyl!
Yes, for the most part i didn't like the furniture or paint colour choices but was nice to see something different from plain white. I think the layout of the house is fine, it's a ranch style home which somewhat limits the options.
It most certainly is worth $8 million. Just because the property that i explored looks run down (because it was abandoned), it doesn't mean that it's in in a ritzy area.
@@StaticSpaces You can still buy yourself a lot more and better home than that for that kind of money. That house looks to be around $100,000 at most. Ok show the area, hard to tell. :-)
It's all about location but you are right, unless you are a millionaire or even billionaire, most people are not spending that kind of money on a property!
This house was really nice. It’s a shame it just sitting there waiting to be demolished. I liked that the kitchen was part of the sunroom. Too bad about that swimming pool. For once the basement was not creepy. Overall a good video and also interesting.
Hello from New York new subscriber here I like all ur videos buddy hey the trim around the round walls that doesn’t go up to the ceiling it’s because they had L E D lights around hidden in the trim and es in a family room take care buddy looking forward for more videos ray here ✌️❤️❄️
Thanks Ray, that makes a lot of sense about the trim and the LED lights, surprised nobody else mentioned that already! That room was actually the master bedroom though. Thanks for the comment!!
It's great to see one that hasn't been vandalized. Beautiful place.
Ya, i kind of lucked out when I found this one, also going back months later and it was still in the same condition too. Thanks for the comment!

What a beautiful home
Ya, those ranch houses certainly have character. Thanks for the comment!!
You’re so right!!!! I love the kitchen !! Thank you!!
No problem. Thanks for the comment!!
This video is outstanding James 😊 I’m also loving the pool too 👍😎✌️
Thanks very much Fawn!!
You are welcome James 😁

@@StaticSpaces Incandescent is the best for reading. The early LED's gave me headaches when reading.
Plus the early Leads were basically blue light too.

Ya, i thought the trompe l'oeil was extremely well done. Thanks for the comment!!
Beautiful house, great job on the explore 👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
I stumbled upon your videos because it was recommended by TH-cam. So glad that I did! I am now binge watching you!
Yes, they have been recommending them more lately, it's exciting!! Enjoy the rest of the videos!!
Hi! I’m here from Noah! Nice to meet your channel.
Hey, thanks for stopping by!!
The gap above ceiling mode in master bedroom was probably lighting
Yes, i think you are right, someone else mentioned that as well. Thanks for the comment!!
I'm really upset about this style of home being bulldozed so often! Such cool elements to these older homes...😔
Agreed!!
Sent here by Noah Nowhere. Thanks for the great explore!
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!!
Nice video. Came over from Noah. Like your attention to detail. Like your knowledge of the updates. Wish someone would buy mine for $8 mill. ❤️
Welcome, glad you enjoyed the video!! Ya, this is in a pricey neighbourhood, it certainly isn't typical of the average prices here.
@@StaticSpaces I’ve seen so many Canadian explores I really just expect it. Still blows my mind.
Ya, the market is pretty crazy right now!
I love this
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!
Me too, sectional couch, and the room was called a den, back in the day. Great video so far.
Thanks, glad you are enjoying it!!
@@StaticSpaces watch all your videos now 🥰
Nice work on this one James!
Thanks Noah!!

Easter pallette, haha, that's a good way of describing it! Thanks for the comment!!
I love the wood floors! I would put a. Bid on those!
I don't think they were auctioning off any of the contents but they were nice floors. Thanks for the comment!!
Noah sent me your way. Interesting home. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
Great glad to have you here, thanks for tuning in!!

Awsome place so sad its getting torn down
Certainly had character! Thanks for the comment Jerrold!!
It looked creepy with the chairs facing the bed in the basement! 😂
At one time a very stylish home. Sad that this style is no longer appreciated.
I completely agree, they are far easier to maintain in the long run too! Thanks Bev!

Oh cool thanks for that little tidbit of information. Appreciate the comment, thanks!!
@@StaticSpacesI believe those are known as tray ceilings. Their purpose was as stated above, called uplighting.
Nice place for sure wouldnt mind living there with the pool also😄👍
Oh ya, pools are great things to have. Thanks for commenting!!

Love the bathroom
The stair railing looked like a bunch of h’s! 😂
Yes it did. Thanks for the comment!!
Linda mansão uma pena estar abandonada 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Someone should salvage what can be used in another house before demolition. Some of the light fixtures, etc.
The property owners will probably do that.
What's all that TAPPING going on? Sounds like you're not alone?
Lol maybe it was the ghosts of the previous owners? Lol
It's actually just the lens autofocusing, the microphone placement on this camera was very poorly chosen. Thanks for the comment!!
It^s got good bones, shame it can*t just be renovated.
It could have been but it was bought specifically for the lot, so they could tear it down and build bigger. Thanks for the comment!!
Hi James 👋 I’m loving everything about this home 😁 Great find too 🤩 I can see myself living here 👍 Thank you for sharing this video ✌️😎🌟
Definitely was an interesting one, i like these mid century ranch houses too. Thanks for watching!!
No problem James 😁
Why is there no dust?
It hadn't been abandoned all that long. Also, dust is created by dead human skin cells and since nobody was living there, there is almost no dust created
how do they figure this is worth 8 million
Not sure who they is but it is just market demand and the price that properties go for in that fancy neighbourhood. Thanks for watching!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
This area is getting too developed. Everything original is slowly being demolished and replaced by McMansions(blech). It does have a great area for a vinyl room. Hahaha. Another great explore. Saw you in Noah’s recent video too.
Haha ya he offered to put me in his video when we ran into each other, hopefully i didn't look too much like a deer in headlights! Ya, that den/library would be perfect for your vinyl!
@@StaticSpaces you looked just fine. Dont ya worry
Nice!
No accounting for ones taste.
You mean because they demolished this house?
@@StaticSpaces No because the furniture and layout is in such poor taste. But to be fair each to their own!
Yes, for the most part i didn't like the furniture or paint colour choices but was nice to see something different from plain white. I think the layout of the house is fine, it's a ranch style home which somewhat limits the options.
Very late 80s early 90s decor
The 2nd one is a den
No way is that worth 8 million! The area doesn't exactly look prestigious! :-)

home build 1950 cost too much update
Demolish this housing rebuild it updated home
Yes but who says you need to update it? I would buy a house specifically if it had 50s decor, i quite like retro homes. Thanks for the comment!
