Absolutely loved this house built in the late 1800’s. From what I was told by a neighbor it was built between 1875-1880 for a very wealthy family back in the day. The stained glass window/ stained glass on the mantle was awesome, plus the beautiful staircase. Such a unique house, never seen one quite like it with the rounded turret shaped exterior and large wraparound porch.
Also show some love over too my southern friends at Dusty film : / @dustyfilm312

Hey Kappy man super appreciate the shout out bro! Awesome video as always! So much stuff tho..
W from florida daytona beach. Wow
You MUST take that stained glass window otherwise some vandal will smash it .. it's your duty to save quality artifacts.
Great !! Love old historical homes !!
Beautiful house! The staircase is also beautiful, now that's a front porch!, wow. So many houses have tiny porches, this one is epic. And a shame to see it falling down , no one to sit out on it and relax in the breeze. Thanks for sharing another great video, have a blessed week end. 🌻🌼🙂
I'm always shocked and saddened by how anyone could let such a beautiful house fall to ruins. Just looking at it inside and out you can see it was a fine manor house for a well-off family when it was built. The number of people who have lived in it over the decades, oh the stories those walls could tell if walls could talk. The families, the children born there, those who lived and died there. All frozen in time and forever connected by the walls and roof of that old magnificent house. And now they're all turning to dust and fading away. It's times like this I wish I were wealthy so I could buy and restore them to their former glory. I'd live in that house if I could afford to fix it up the way it used to be.
It's so sad to see a house like this let go can you find any history on it
Yes so sad to let it deteriorate after all these years.
The maintenance costs must have been expensive along with the property taxes. If you lose that income….the house usually goes too. Looks like they may have been running some kind of business in there….I noticed some computer monitors and a large printer on a table on the first floor. When the money runs out….everything goes straight to hell. It takes lots of money to keep these big , old homes in good condition. They’re constant maintenance a/k/a the money pits. You keep pouring money into the home to keep it up and running. A big house like that will always have something that needs to be repaired , updated and/or renovated. Just think what a new roof on a house like that would cost. There’s the chimney upkeep also…..they gotta be cleaned out and that costs. Someone has to get up there and clean out those gutters….that costs, especially with all the trees around there. Someone has to clean that place and that’s a lot to clean….the floors, the tile, all those windows, etc… rich people aren’t going to do all that them self. They hire people to clean and that costs a lot. I can see how a family could go bankrupt Trying to pay for and maintain a home like that.
@@penelopelopez8296 the neighborhood went down the hill, as is now in da' hood, bad neighborhood, high crime area is my guess and fixing that seems to be impossible, in 50 years might become trendy for urban pioneers.
Believe or not a lot of times it comes down to someone passing away with little or no living relatives, or passing without a will or in a few cases I know of the estate gets wrapped up in probate for years due to family disputes. It doesn't take too long for an uninhabited structure to decay, especially if all utilities are turned off.
That porch must have been a popular place on a steamy, North Carolina summer night! Plenty of stories being told, a lot laughter, memories being etched in kids minds, cold glasses of lemonade, and shy first kisses too! What a showplace it must have been, that staircase and some furniture could/ still be saved! Thanks Kappy, as always great!
I love your visions of the house and what it once was. Such an incredible home. So sad to see it empty and without laughter and children :o(
Huge beautiful wrap around! Porches are the best! As a child, I lived on our front porch, reading books! Better than a deck, anyday. Rain is welcome!
This is what happens when you DIE ,all of the things you thought so much for is left behind. Because no one takes it with them
Some one needs to call good will.
Sometimes the heirs are so busy fighting and hiring lawyers because one feels slighted that things never get settled and this is what happens.
🙏💯✊🙏👍🙏💯
👏👏👏
the point is to enjoy it while alive
This house was neat! It also had the remains of 2 waterbeds! I haven't seen them since the 90's! Thank you Kappy!
Yes I remember my aunt having a water bed when I was a kid lol very fun to play on as a youngster 😂
I haven't seen them since the 70's... 😒
I saw the waterbeds, too !!! Flash to the past for me !! Lol
I had one in 1996. I miss it!
Another beautiful house that needs saving before it gets to bad to spend money on. Thanks once again for showng a house that needs saving 🙏please some one save this beautiful house. I love this house man
This house would have been b*thin to live in during it's heydays!! Imagine all of the dresses coming down the stairs! And the New Years party's! It is so stunning!!
Hello Kayla how are you doing today
What a gracious and welcoming home that must have been at one time.
The moment I saw the front of the house path leading up to it the piano with cloth over it's a special place was dearly loved at some point very sad to see it like this
That home is beautiful! It’s a shame some of the upstairs rooms have been damaged! So much left behind! Beautiful mantles, furniture and stained glass! Someone should get it before it is too far gone and try to restore it! Thank you for the video!
Yes the downstairs is in decent shape for now but the upstairs has giant holes in the roof, glad I got too it when I did! Thanks for watching
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 just found your channel a little bit ago, love it!! And this was such a fun video....we could have spent hours in there as well...thanku!
The litter box is a nice touch. Adds ambience...
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 Great video! Holes in roof look like either tree fell on roof it or possibly roof fire damaged - saw gas can in upper room by desk. If only these walls could talk!
You have to wonder what happened to the family, leaving their home and belongings at Christmas time, or shortly thereafter!
These homes say so much. Even in it's sad state they speak volumes. Just imagine how these homes look during the times it was built,cared for and lived in. It's always fascinating to see these homes in all conditions and be left to wonder....who what when where why and how of it all.
Great house, with a partially new roof, a paint job and some love it can be a grand home again. Hopefully someone out there sees it and buys it. Thanks for sharing it with us🌻
Nope
Cheaper to rebuild,like putting thousands into a rotten car money bag.
@@marigolds49 House is beyond salvaging. I agree.
Ditto. Too much mold and water damage. Cheaper just build again.
I can't help but think that the heirs just can't afford these places, so they take what they want and abandon the place. Taxes, repairs are just too much. So sad. I'd love to get salvage rights on some of the places and at least preserve the antiques and architectural features.
I was thinking along those same lines. Probably inherited from a well meaning grandmother or whoever. A family with Children move in but just don't have the means to repair the roof until they were forced to move out and it collapsed. Very sad. What a beautiful house.
Someone didn't have homeowners insurance I think
Maybe a company needs to be started that does this. A lot easier to do with multiple backers.
Your, Exactly Right..Such A Waste..
I would love to rent to own one of these places.
This house was beautiful in it's day. They definitely loved their cat(s) I see cute little playhouses. Beautiful find Kappy 😊
How I would love to bring her back to her glory
This is one of many Stunning, Historical Southern Mansions or Plantations here in North Carolina. I truly hope that more and more people realize how much of a Historical treasure we have in these homes. I wish all of these amazing homes could be restored, and even opened up to the public for tours.
Love when You post homes from North Carolina--my home!
Not sure why they’re letting the nice things downstairs get ruined. There’s no excuse. Love this house, definitely a one of a kind! Thank you for showing us!
It's so wrong! Makes me crazy.
Probably because nobody lives there. 🤨
Probably went broke….loss of that high income and they had to make a quick exit before they starved to death. Those big, old houses are nothing more than money pits. You have to be wealthy to own and maintain them.
I don't think there is anyone that has a claim to this house !! When the last 1 dies, so does the home ! Sad....
And in many cases the home was lost to back taxes. When they can’t pay up, many cut and run.
I really appreciate it when you describe how a place makes you feel, or what you smell, or things you see that we might not notice. Beautiful house. I wonder why heirs or owners don't have estate sales so someone could enjoy the beautiful furniture, decor pieces, architectural pieces?
I can smell a lot of things from this video... Mostly mold
As I am a contractor, I would LOVE to have someone with deep pockets hire me to fix up this mess. No more worries about the kids college fees.. A new addition on my home.. Many-many wonderful vacations all over the world .. Get the idea??? This is a teardown It would be cheaper to replicate this home than fix it up.
Watching these beautiful, gorgeous homes makes me sad to see them rotting away! 😪😪 Makes me think of Nicole Curtis, who had a show and she saved many, many old homes. I wish she could see these videos you upload, and see the wonderful work she did saving old homes.
I love this house! Love its unique shape, French doors, gorgeous staircase and warm feel--too bad elderly owner must have passed away around Christmas and the house stayed as is after a half-hearted attempt to pack it up. Then we get to the upstairs and it's pretty wild up there with some very creative "updates" having occurred!
Looks like someone maybe lived there secretly.
Why did they let this beautiful home get like this ! All that junk mixed with beautiful old pieces of furniture . With a lot of work maybe it could be restored ?
Yes ! I have worked on worse , and with patience and money She can live again .
Yeah, maybe it was already starting to fall apart and could not afford to fix it. A shame.
I’m sure this was beautiful back in the day I could almost see all the fun they had like the holiday’s. Thank you for sharing this amazing home 😊
I loved that lamp upstairs with the five different coloured glass shades.
That home had to be absolutely beautiful in it’s day! Wow this house should’ve been saved
This house is amazing! Deffo one of your better ones! Someone should save her. 👍😊✌️
Nope
It was beautiful but it would take a fortune to restore it.
A tear down.
Beautiful architecture. Loved the staircase banister. Feel it was like a sweet older lady who passed maybe at Christmas winter time lots of holiday things around. Such a shame. Stunning stained glass. And you see how those large windows go way down I just love those old type windows. Amazing. Nice job showing. Stay well and safe. On a side note I simply love your voice so much. Very calming and sincere. You do a very good job trying to share everything. Did you notice the sweet Avon and Fenton items. Definitely an older lady who appreciated pretty things. Blessings for you. 🥰😊🙋♀️👍👍👍🐈Hope someone at least took the cat that used the kitty box. 😂
Hello Kathy how are you doing today
This has to be one of the most beautiful homes you've shared! I am always so fascinated by what isn't known... what happened to the residents, why is everything still there? Keep up p the good work !
Looks like someone started packing
Hello Kathy how are you doing today
This house is Amazing. Love the outside and the staircase is Beautiful. I love the Oval windows. What a shame no one's bought it to repair it. What a waste
Another great one Kappy,thank you and be careful!
Thank you for panning out to show the room as a whole..Most all others mostly show the floor..I enjoy your videos..
And the toilets! Never understand it, floors and toilets! Not very professional, huh?
That house must have been amazing in its prime! I loved all the details still there! Thanks again for the explore Kappy! Without you we wouldn't be able to see these beauties! ✌
Agreed! So unique! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Hello Lucy how are you doing today
It’s so hard to imagine why such a beautiful, and packed, house would be abandoned. Such a unique house. Thanks for the explore.
Haunted ?
I'm a book collector. What a way to start a video. I would love to go thru those books.
Oh me too! How cool!
Oh I love those old glass door knobs !
Another great video. I wish I had the $ to restore these beautiful houses.
The exterior is stunning!
Agreed thanks for watching!
Beautiful old house frozen in time. So sad people just leave all those antiques and memories.❤️
Awesome! Thanks for the link to Mike's pics. So glad someone has pics for sale finally.
A really cool old house, nice to see everything still intact and not destroyed !
Atleast on the first floor thanks for watching! :)
The Foyer reminds me of the same one Little Edie from Gray Gardens did her flag dance.
Saw the movie & documentary.
Interesting ladies.
Another gem, Kappy, another gem!! What beautiful architecture ! I get the green bedroom upstairs.........Thx again.
I was thinking the same thing tbh haha really liked this place! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I love listing to the birds and wild life in your videos.
A lot of these abandoned places had land, which was sold off and the houses are left to decay. This one is particularly interesting, such a shame no one loved it enough.
What a lovely way to put it, that no one loved it enough. 😥😥😥
Kappy,thank you for such a nice video to watch.Im binge watching again.All my favorite channels,including yours.Next week I'll be ordering more tabloids and magazines for my collection.I saved this video to my abandoned houses playlist.Lastly I enjoyed seeing everything left behind.Kappy,please be safe.
Hello Collen how are you doing today
Kappy ,,,,,what a great posting of a wonderful old southern home of some long ago wealthy family
over time its been truly searched for valuables,,,
but with you we can go back in time on a magical ride
and see how America was transformed from time to time,
you film so slowly so as we can digest all artefacts,,,,
Kappy keep em comin ,,,,, Edwin
I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching! I like too think my videos have slowly been improving!
It's cool how the design of the fireplace mantle and the piano match.
Beautiful. It's so hard to imagine anyone just letting it go to waste.
Hello Susan how are you doing today
The stair case in this house is beautiful!
Too torn down to repair and yet too beautiful to tear down. Another great tour into the past. Thank you.
I love how you make us feel we are there with you. Thank You Kappy!
Love this house. Looks like they had at least a couple cats.
I was thinking that this house just needed a fresh coat of paint to be great again untill you went upstairs lol.
True! Glad I got too it when I did, in another few years the upstairs rooms will be in the downstairs with room sized holes in the roof! Thanks for watching!
It gorgeous..
It definitely suffered a major storm. I've seen this home in Florida. Guaranteed it cost more to fix than abandone. See this kind of thing before .
That last room has a water bed frame! Now that's a blast from the past!
Wow what an usual and amazing house! It still could be saved....God bless
Nope--too far gone..
Beautiful house! Great job ! Love all the fireplaces, French glass doors and glass knobs, the staircase, lots of charm everywhere !
She’s a beaut!
Speaking from experience, when your loved one dies and you start cleaning the home out, the emotions become overwhelming when anything you touch brings back memories good and bad. And then one day, you leave and never return to finish clearing out everything because the house is dead.
Definitely a groovy house. Love all the shapes. Thankyou for filming it for us.
This place was incredible! The owner of this place should piece it out for parts for other old places. And, if it was me, I'd be selling off all the old furniture and then respectfully tear it down. I was thinking that it was a great place to renovate till I saw the upstairs. Nope. Glad you got this place on film. It's now the only thing left this old house. Thanks for taking me along with you!
This is now one of my favorites on your channel. Beautiful house, and so very sad.
Thanks was certainly one of my favorite houses as well!
Thanks for the tour Kappy. Would have loved to have seen this one back in its day.
Thank you for watching! :)
Lot of antiques in that house. Worth money. If i had the money i would save her. She is a beautiful old lady!
That's unique with the rounded front end of the house. I've never really seen that before. It looks like this house may only have a few years before some parts totally collapse. It's a shame.
The architecture on this house is really beautiful. I love the curve and the second floor really different. The stairway with banisters are unique with great details in woodwork. I still think this house could be saved with a little bit of work and some money. Very cool video Kappy.
What a beauty, Just sad to see the collapsing of the ceilings in some areas not a good sign... Love, love the staircase & stain glass window..
Such a waste! What a beautiful older home with some southern charm. I cannot believe people leave that much stuff behind. Thanks for the share I enjoyed it! I am NW Missouri.
Decorated for Christmas but what year. Beautiful at one time. Wish I had a couple of mil to restore this one
I think the calendar in the kitchen probably says when they left. The place was still decorated---and nicely, too---from Christmas, so I think the page of that calendar was opened to January and hung up in preparation for the New Year.
That rounded front tower-like part was unusual and pretty. The staircase too was so pretty. I always get nervous when I see pet stuff in an abandoned house. This one had a lot of litter boxes and a big bag of cat food left behind. I hope the cats weren’t abandoned too 🙁
No signs of cats still there but also plenty of windows busted out for them too get in and out if they were! But I doubt it! Thanks for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 The only time I’m glad for broken windows 😄
Dear kappy I love the way you say Holy cow. Hope you stay well thank you for sharing your love of urban exploration with us. 🐈Bev stone UK
I love all the little special Christmas things to be spotted around the house.
Apparently the ton limit was reached in the curved room. What a great place wish it would be saved.
I've remodeled many houses and the first thing is to have sound roof and foundation. Those are expensive. Requiring professional help. So sad when the roof comes down on your project.
What a beautifull house. It must have been a lovely house to live in it's day. The nicely carved mantelpiece, and stained glass. Also the stairs are carved very nicey. The house seemed to be trashed. What a pity to let this beautifull house to ruin, when it could have been sold, or rented. Love these old houses because they have character, feelings, emotions of the past.💗💗💗💗
Someone's paradise long ago. Nice.🌹
It’s a crying Shane that these beautiful gems are abandoned and left to decay.
It looks like it was ransacked.
Thanks for sharing! I love Victorian homes.
Every time I watch one of these videos is it makes me want to purchase the property and salvage what I could and restore the dwelling.
All the items just left behind! You can tell that love was shared and enjoyed there...What happened to the family? A beautiful home left to die alone, sad!
What a wonderful house! Still can be restored. Sad that all the memories are left behind. N I checked put Mike's channels. Very talented. Be safe n well. GB
Nope
What a strange house, looks like they were right in the middle of wrapping gifts and then bam everyone is gone. Hard to believe that house is in such bad shape for only being empty for 7yrs. But things got really wierd after you opened that purple door.
That's what happens when the roof fails.
Seriously, I can’t figure why people up and leave things behind.
@@debrataylor1813 maybe the family died in a car accident? Or something?
It looks to me that the elderly resident(s) died a good number of years ago and then the house was inhabited by some young people for a while later on before being completely abandoned.
Looks like a prank gone wrong at a nice looking sorority house.
So sad to see such beauty falling apart.
Unique house. I hope someone will come along and fix it up.
Can you research and find out what happened to the people. If I win lotto and that was for sale I would buy that for sure,love those old homes with character and always wanted a round porch on a house, just beautiful!
Hello. I am the girl who would marry the person who would give me this house, renovated! This is beautiful! You can almost hear children who played there , the family who gathered there. Awesome!
Thank you ,one of the coolest houses I have seen.👍💯
Aside from getting to look through this house, l can’t get over the song birds!!
The floor plan of the upstairs has been radically changed; it's impossible to imagine how it was when the house was built. There may well have been a servant's staircase to the kitchen that was done away with. It's pretty much a pest hole at this point and will likely be demolished. Sad ending for such a once beautiful home.
Beautiful home ! I wish there was some kind of program people could buy a abandoned home.
This would be a salvage companies dream come true . Very smart you avoided the fridge LMAO . i LOVE THE ANGLES They are amazing
Makes me want to cry seeing that beautiful old house left to rot.
Once the roof goes the rest is not far behind. I'm guessing tree damage since it seemed to be localized to one area. Might be too expensive to repair now, but there's a huge amount of salvage that could be done.
That is what happened to an old house in our small town in North Carolina. A tree went through the roof and the squirrels followed! House was sold and completely refurbished. This house look like they left on Christmas Eve. Very odd.
How sad that this house ended up this way. Another most excellent video Kappy!
I almost thought it was livable until the purple room love the colors it was painted and old furniture thanks and be safe
Hard to believe anyone would let this beautiful piece of another era fall to the ground! Such a grand old house, if walls could talk!
that was an amazing house at one time! The architecture is beautiful. The books, pictures and papers kill me every time. I make Junk Journals out of old papers. To see them just sitting there! :( The stained glass window!!! What a gem!
What’s a junk journal?
This place must have been so beautiful in it's day.
Just imagine how full of life it once was?! The every day busy living that surrounds a home, the grounds maintenance that had to be done?! What secrets those walls must have heard over basically..150 yrs?!! Amazing!!
Every time you step on shaky floors I always hold my breath.
You are doing such a great job with this channel. 🤗
That house look like a catch-all for the church next door... maybe its yard sales stuff.
