- Here sits a massive house on a large property that backs onto a large creek.
this house was built in 1973 by a very wealthy Greek family. they resided here until 2011 when they decided to move back to Greece. the house was for sale for over 7 years, but failed to sell. most likely due to the price.
I found this house over two years ago but it was all locked up. but this time i found a way inside!!
This was an interesting house. Crazy to see something that is livable being demolished.
Someone should move in
Me, me, me!!! I could move in! I loved it 🥰💖❤️💕👍😁
I definitely love that house. You and your OCD with closing and locking doors and cabinets. Of course you just had to what's up guys even without a mirror lol. You're crazy lol. I've noticed videos ago, just haven't brought it up, but love how you change your vocabulary accordingly. If it's a '70s house, out of your mouth comes the groovy. You make me laugh with all you do and say. You're such a joy to watch and listen to with your tours of these fabulous houses, mansions, whatever. Don't change for anyone. You stay the way you are young man.
💯
@@jimmyblais1502 thanks jim
Its not ocd, because people are orderly doesn’t mean it’s a disorder.
I totally agree !! Been watching you for about month now. I’m old enough to be your mama, and if I was I would be one proud mama.
You were raised right. You are consistently respectful of the properties and leave them the way you find them👍I was surprised you didn’t close the shoebox lid to the hokey cards since it was closed when you found it.
Very groovy home and a shame it’s not being restored to its era. Look how mid-century modern has made a huge comeback.
Most larger homes from that decade had maids quarters. That’s the best I have seen with the living area loft equipped with a statement fireplace.
Great find! 👍Thanks for taking us along.
“47 years.., not that old yet”
Thanks kindly from the 45 year old!
Yes, thank you! I'm 46.
Yep, I was born the year this house was built.
I love how Ethan takes care to make us old farts feel not so old.
@@leighcarr6634 I was born in 1987 (13 years before he was born) and this SOB makes me feel old lol
Oooh! Glass blocks! If I had a house with glass block and the pine paneling in the house a couple of weeks ago I'd abe a happy camper!
Another great find Ethan. Great video. Thank you.
You seem so sweet and genuine, keep it up❤️❤️
It may be cork walls. It helps to hinder sound.
What's up Ethan? You found another beautiful mansion, you're so amazing on finding these beautiful places 💖
Not a baseball fan but I’m a fan of this house, it’s breathtaking.. wonderful job Ethan 🥰🥰
I really appreciate your willingness to acknowledge smells in a decaying place-- I have fine olfactory senses, and think it really enriches the experience of your walk throughs.
Late 80s to 90s layout for sure. No wood paneling or shag carpet everywhere
Hi Ethan !!!I i love the house entrance, nice natural light. Glass blocks I love.
this is really sad that people would just come in move out a house move out of a house and decide to tear it down because they want to build something bigger and better there this is a perfectly good structure house that hasn't been used in a while built in 1973 why can't you have a program out there for people that are homeless and on the streets with the coronavirus going on and help those people out cuz I'm sure somebody will be very grateful for this this home it could be their first home it could be their second home it could be some kind of shelter for people it could be a home for kids that are runaways I mean there's so much you could do with this house why tear it down and waste your money to do that when you could get some kind of use out of it that's what they should do with a lot of these places you're showing on the internet come on I mean we're at a time of crisis right now and you want to just tear it down really that's a waste of money in my opinion
U
Bigger: Probably. Better? Doubtfully
They might want to make the house more efficient. As a contractor I like how people build and renovate, it helps the economy.
So true
I grew up in the 70s, so the house looks like to me a combination of, 70s meets the 80s with the BOL as you said Ethan 'Groovy' light fixture, and staircase. The curved walls were added maybe in the early 80's, as well as the 80s style 'Glass Bricks' so popular throughout the 80's. Pretty much a 'Miami Vice' era home that sprung from a classic 70's party mansion. I love the whole house and would be willing to buy it if it won't already going to be demolished. I do hope that some of the features like the light fixtures and Glass Brick walls and so much more that needs to be salvaged. I love going into antique stores, and secondhand stores and looking at all the great old things that were salvaged from homes demolished, or completely redone. I have a collection of glass and glazed doorknobs, also ones covered in enamel. I use them as door stops, flower and season decorations put out on my end tables, and shelves. All my antique doorknobs have the original cast iron or metal attachments that go through the round opening. As a child growing up and as a teenager my Momma and I would explore old, abandoned homes, and new homes being built in the 60s and 70s. I did the same with my three children, only we explored 80s and 90 abandoned homes and new homes. Gues we were among the first 'Urban Explorers' when my Momma would take us. If the house was going to be torn down, Momma would get in contact with whom ever had the home and ask if she could as she put it...Harvest some of the old fixtures, doors, window frames, fireplace mantels and what nots. She would offer to pay for the items she wanted, but the majority of the time the owner or the bank who had the home said take what you want no cost. I learned from her the names and values of items we 'Harvest'. Momma was an artist, and painted pictures using oil paint, Palette knife painting, watercolor paint, charcoal, and pastel chalk paintings. She made things from clay, and she put together some really nice silk flower arraignments using old doorknobs, lace. I am not much of a painter; however, I do know how to create wonderful silk flower arrangements using ordinary things around the house, my antique collection of glass doorknobs. Keep the video's coming I really enjoy watching them.... Peace and Chicken Grease...I'm out!
No nasty comment! Lol
I like the foyer and the nanny’s quarters/master bedroom suite? the most. Nice open kitchen. And love the glasswork and windows.
I must give you a Big Thank You for not wasting the time on cobwebs and spiders! TY!!
Be well!
when you find 2 bedrooms that physically share a bathroom that's called a Jack and Jill.
Mark Blake Thanks for the information my man; I didn’t know what that meant. 🙌
@@raygay3375 your very welcome.
Thanks Ethan!!
The glass blocks were big again in the late 80's, early 90's. My ex hubby had a remodeling business & he did a lot of the walls at that time. Especially in the lofts in downtown Chicago. Cool find. Thank you, Ethan!
Peace🕊️😘
I love the kitchen this house is fantastic
A very beautiful home indeed but it's very sad to see it go in a way too and having something new put into it's place too.
Thanks for the tour, Ethan.
Cool house! I liked the smoked glass light fixture. Those bathroom tiles were awesome. The kitchen almost had a Mediterranean vibe. Le Chateau is a clothing store chain and their stuff is moderately priced.
wow I would love this house just as is
for being a house it has a apartment building feel / look to it and cold feeling
Good morning Ethan beautiful Mansion
Hello from Palm Springs! What a great find Ethan! Love that seventies house, that wall was made out of cork. Very typical for the era.
As usual you made the old explore interesting!
Thanks for sharing❤
One of my kids does this for a living. Huge wonderful places. People either get involved with whatever else and they just walk away. He goes in with crew and empties for the sale or transfer. Most of it is donated. Some taken to the dump if it's garbage.
That was wonderful. There's a fortune in trading cards in that box.
Interesting home I definitely like the up stairs and that Swimming pool🤗
Hi Ethan but video that mattress is very accurate very very nice video you do keep the good work and keep doing them 🌞😃
Clevelander here... so cool to see a tribe jersey
Great Video thanks Ethan another nice house with a few unique features I love round rooms and stone fire places that are curved.
Great explore
I LOVE THIS HOUSE
So Cool ! ! LOVE ! 💋🐾🐾✌
Coucou éthan superbe maison bravo porte toi bien merci pour tes partages 👍😋
Very clean...
It wasn’t as clean as you think it was
Love this house
I hope good stuff left behind gets donated and not just thrown out.
Hey Etan,you missed showing one door on ttbe circle. You showed a bathroom & closet. You said you were saving last door for later. What was in there?
Really nice house. I wish I could have it!! Wishful thinking 😊👍
love the nannys room best place in the house, and of course another nice house going to the shitter. thanks ethan
Nice house, kitchen was small, loved the green bathroom.
The entryway was the best part of this house for me
Awesome Place
I like it Ethan awesome job
Yay I’m so happy Ethan I really love your videos I understand I’m relaxing on my couch drinking my coffee and watching you I’m a Steelers fan I love the way you cuss Ethan you make me laugh 😆 stay safe
Good morning Ethan how are you doing
Let’s go Steelers 3-0 woot woot
How are you doing Ethan
What happens to the cards I wonder? It's sad when valuable stuff (& houses) get demolished!
Finally had some time to watch this explore and sure wasn't disappointed! It's interesting how with the passing of time one forgets how homes were designed and what I mean by that, in 1973 I was 12 yrs old. This home would be brand new and look totally normal and 'cool' to the 12 yre old me. Now, the 59 yr old me looks at it and goes..wow, now THAT'S retro LOL. Not sure what that says for me, but it's interesting to see this home and the design which at the time I believe they would think was 'futuristic' and 'with it' and has the new 'vibe' LOL. I have to say, although it's retro it has interesting lines, with the curved walls, etc. The basement was a disappointment but for those that collect sports cards, wow, what a thing to leave behind! I really enjoyed this one and the way you provide information on the house...keep 'em coming 😊
How do you always find your way in to all these different locations?
Very nice but strange floor layout
My son now lives in New Jersey but LOVES Cleveland Indians. He's 31 now. 😉
Cork walls.
Good home FOR THE BRADY BUNCH.
The Cleveland Indians jersey may be worth something soon. I am about 40 mins from Cleveland since I am from Ohio and they have to change their name. The Indian logo has been gone and it was just a "C". This house isn't too bad,it just needs some updates and would a very good suitable home for somebody. I was born in the 70's so I think it's a cool house.
If they're tearing the house down I hope somebody took those cards and salvaged them.
I would have taken the box of cards.
Upstairs please from Catalina. Margaret Rael
Hey, what is up Ethan?!
That house layout is the weirdest thing ever
I would love to live there. My favourite was the bathroom. Why do they demolish these places? I love 70s design.
Canada? JMO, from experience that 6 million is way to much. Tiny closets. Not top of line materials. Kitchen is so very small. Lots of everyday kind of tile. Not estate like with all the other homes there. Large but chopped up. Then the money to update . I understand maybe where it is demands lot of dollars but in Florida one million gets you a wonderful large place on private land . in the country or near neighbors if you want.
I'd turn that upstairs in to the master bedroom😍
Have you been to East tn, looking for a big house to buy
What’s ashame is ppl need furniture and they leave it all behind when they can donate it
SWEET
That's an elegant foyer just take the hockey cards with you I don't believe it would be considered stealing.
anything is stealing if taken without permission!
@@sandrarichardson9727 okay let all the rare cards that are probably in that box get bulldozed under I don't know maybe I'm wrong but they left all the crap there
Even if the people sold it for millions they might have been in debt and needed to use those millions to pay off the mortgage and other debt. But what about the people that bought it? Do they think of remodeling it then change their mind? I have too many questions!!! Are they usually owned by a person or a construction company
Neat hockey card collection. Go Winnipeg Jets! Wooden tiles on the walls is cork. Nice house!
Ah, the '70s....i can almost see someone wearing bellbottoms heading down that groovy front staircase
Got married in the 73 yes I liked my hip hugger belllbottoms
Marsha Marsha Marsha!
Italian marble. That fireplace.....
Dude, it's a sin to take it all down.
I agree. It's beautiful, quality materials and painstakingly created.
I think it's a shame that they are tearing down this house! It's stunning! Not to mention with homeless at its highest why can't they help families and veterans? They would rather destroy this house instead of god forbid help people!
So true my thoughts exactly so sad😭😭
Love the way you think!! All the houses they destroy and all the tent cities. It's disgusting.
And so, I ask again. -- Why demolish history and a perfectly good house which is perfectly good????
They call it progress.personally I call it waste
@@cindyreynolds4045 they then wonder why we are in a housing crisis lmao
It seems like they like demolishing vintage houses in Canada.
Divarge Ajihar Exactly! It makes me so angry 😡 Land developers seem soulless.
Ray Gay society in general is soulless. Lots of crazy rich people having so much, but for some reason or another, abandoned their excess wealth. Clearly, not many people in Canada, or anywhere really, willing to pay CA$6 million for that. Not many willing to pay over one million. Developer comes along, offers half as much, so $3million, divide up the land into separate lots. Sell 50 $250k homes for $500,000, because for some reason, demand is willing to pay that. Make $12.5 million in profit, minus the initial 3, so $9.5million. Meanwhile, people who can’t afford $500k homes be like, “hey! I can’t afford to pay that much for so little. Why are they tearing down such architectural beauty? Not fair! I would have saved it!”
To add to the soullesssness: Greedy developer wants to give back to the community. Wants to make affordable housing. So instead of 50 lots, they half each one, so 100 lots, with 100 houses, 4 floor plans to chose from for $250k. Tiny cookie cutter houses with no land. Meanwhile, citizens are in an uproar. It’s not fair that they paid so much money, only to have to live next to the riff raff who didn’t (anyone who can afford a brand new $250k house). They’re worried about crime, overcrowded schools, and traffic (ignoring the fact that they moved there themselves to what once was also a large multi million dollar estate, and contributed to the very thing they feared). This project now goes one of two ways. 1) citizens fight city hall, and win. I’ve seen it happen. It’s obnoxious, especially when they get on the council, but they can succeed. So no $250k housing. Demand now raises their own property values. Victory for them. Or 2) developer builds this housing, making only a pretty mild profit of a million or so, $250k homes are all bought up by people who already have homes, and immediately go back on the market as rentals. So people who “could” have to afforded to live there, still are stuck paying rent, and not building equity. After 5 years, buyers lists the rental home for sale at $500k, and it freaking sells!!!
They don’t demolish house here In u tied states like they do in Canada
"let's pretend there's a mirror there" ... What's up Ethan! ;)
Yes. I had a big chuckle on that one, even rewound it for my husband
So true lmao
Merry Christmas tom
Yes it is so great kick but buddy
This is SUCH a stereotypical 70s house and I absolutely love it. If I had the money, I would buy this place in a heartbeat because this place is just so amazing, especially the foyer. It has every aspect of my dream house and it’s sad that they’re planning on just tearing it down. Man I wish I was rich so I could afford to preserve theses houses 😭
For a huge house the kitchen is small. The kitchen almost looks as if was updated at some stage.
The problem with this is no matter how lovely it is it’s not mine
I knew I liked you Ethan. 47 years “isn’t that old” 👍 and you like the Dodgers! ⚾️ Thank you for another tour, although I didn’t find this house attractive in the least. 😂
So in love with this house. Those light fixtures, the stone fireplace, the groovy staircase. It's just beautiful.
Those artifacts you saw in the room are 3 hindu deities.
I definitely liked upstairs compared to downstairs. The ‘nanny’ or ‘maid’ apartment was way cool! You know you’ve made it if you have a nanny or maid apartment.
Ethan, you're my fave! I loved the house! Ethan, I am curious, there are so many houses that are abandoned with everything left behind. Some have been abandoned for awhile. How is it that nobody steals anything or graffiti it? There are valuable antiques in some of them. I was just curious.
Upstairs was so much better than downstairs.was it some type of cork on the walls? Loved the entrance and glass blocks. Great find Ethan Thankyou .
I think it's criminal that they are going to tear this place down. It's just too unique.
I loved the ‘green’ upstairs bathroom. I love the wallpaper and sink counter tiles. This bathroom I’m guessing belonged to the ‘main’ bedroom & it also had the study.
When can I move in?
Ahh.. the 70s were a good time to grow up ( telling my age) 😁
Things were a lot different back then!
As a child I was able to go out in Los Angeles by myself..
That would never happen in this day and she, Evil all around😥
Cool house, love the contemporary look, that front entry looks like it was renovated in the 80’s, probably most of the house, then they never did anything else. Would be a nice place for someone if they had the money for a new reno.Just a note, some of these houses makes me wonder if they just moved or did one of the owners die and they just left it as it was, so sad if that’s true..
I think perhaps there were more bedrooms originally; located where what you refer to as a nanny suite we here in the states would more likely call an in-law suite (a little too generous for a nanny) - these serve as a more or less private apartment but the in-laws would still take their meals with the rest of the family. It looks like it was added on later as the bathroom and its fixtures are newer and the stonework on the fireplace does not match that of the rest of the house. Might also explain why those windows were just covered and not replaced with a solid wall.
I love glass blocks and their history, from being used in sidewalks over subway lines to the upper part of factory walls to let light in. Antique glass blocks were made with manganese dioxide which, over many years of exposure to the sun’s UV rays turns a highly desirable shade of lavender - very sought after if genuine.
There are a number of this style of house standing in various upscale neighborhoods near me - this particular one in a subdivision of an old Gatsby-era estate:

I have never commented but thank you for your insight. This is why I scour the comments! Fascinating input, thank you!!!!
Sorry but the house is blurred out now.
Suddenly my 690 sq. ft. apartment feels kinda claustrophobic . And I have no maids quarters here either. So she has to go home every night 😄😆
All of that wall material you kept spotting that you said felt cheap or like a tree I think might’ve been original to the time. My parents house (built 1950s-purchased by them 1974 and remodeled that year) had that wall material all over the basement and I remember being a kid and touching it and thinking it was so odd!
This is such an interesting house, it sure is a shame that people tare these houses down for some “modern” monstrosity
Smoky pendant light fixture! I could use that in my '70s/'80s house today
Our house was also built in 1973! And we are still in it! I was 24 and hubby 25. Things were good and we had it built. 1800 sq foot ranch, south Louisiana. Still in great condition as we always maintain and upgrade. Raised my 3 children in this house and we are still active and healthy and don’t plan on going anywhere except a lot of traveling. Well I travel, he stays home. :) So to me this house is not old! LOL
Not bad. I'll take the table and chairs. Kitchen and the basement were a bit dissapointing. Too small. Nice big yard. That's always good. Nanny suite I really liked. Thank you for the tour Ethan and please take care
every thing was looking good until you where looking though the cards....boring should do that with out filming it....
What is up Ethan✌🏼✌🏼You never disappoint.
Really nice! Why the heck didn't they just rent it out, instead of letting it fall apart? I hope some crew goes in and salvages the cool bits.
Something special about differently styled homes
It almost looks like an d classic movie set house bc in a lot of old movies the living room looks like that and the staircase too it’s so neat I loved this house!!
