Sitting in plain sight in a Neighbourhood sits the former home of a Gangster. Custom built for his family in 1979, they sparred at no expense. The house featured a large foyer, an indoor pool with a chandelier, and a bar in the basement. He lived here for 14 years, blending in with the other neighbours to keep a low profile and avoid trouble. Everything changed in 1993 when the police started looking for him. To avoid imprisonment, the gangster fled the country with his family back to Europe. The home sat empty until a new family moved in in 1995. They lived here until 2016, keeping the home mostly unchanged. 8 Years later, the mansion sits in disrepair. The property is unmaintained and overgrown. Now an eyesore in the community, the mansion will be demolished to construct nine new homes.

I remember when this house was being built. We had never seen such a huge house in that area before. My grandparents lived on the street over, as kids we used to ride our bikes daily and watch it being built for hours.
Who's the gangster?
Where is this? Woodbridge? Hamilton?
I was born in 1963, as to your question did we use the bar why yes we did it was just a common thing back then ! 🎉😅😅
I’ve owned two houses built in 1963. Both had built-in bars. It was how that generation coped and socialized. It was a daily thing: come home and mix yourself a cocktail.
I pass that house daily on my way to work, great video thank you.
@@bradmcnulty8264 which town will that be?
Would love to see this house back in the day! Especially the pool and yard! Great find Noah!! 😊😊😊
My parents had a "rec" room (recreation room) with a bar. Stools. Pinball machine. Slot machine and a shuffleboard table. Oh the parties we used to have were epic. That rec room saw alot of wrecked people over the years. Good times 😂😂
So yes, we used the bar regularly for decades. My mother is still in the same house. No more parties. And my dad passed away. I grew up about 30 miles east of Toronto Ontario.

I really enjoy watching these videos. It amazes me how people can just walk away or abandon these cool massive houses
Love the explore, the pool area was definitely added later, it might have been an outdoor pool from when the house was built and later enclosed. Keep these great explores coming, I find them fascinating.
1980’s baby here…yes. My parents friends who had big bars, USED them like they were Livin’ La Vida Studio 54 😂
Loved this one!!! I can’t get over the layout of this house, it seemed like it just kept going down further. Would have been interesting to see what the bottom level was like before it flooded.
I watched a video the other day. Dude was trying to say it was Sylvester Stallone's house. Lol Glad ur channel is telling the truth. ❤❤❤ I knew dude was full of it.
I think the bars were self serve unless there was a huge party. I really loved this tour with you, Noah. The pool creeps me out. Maybe because it’s indoors. Really deep. I can’t picture myself swimming in there alone. Someone else commented that it was originally an outdoor pool. I think so , too. Thank you, Noah!❤
This same house was presented as Silvester Stallone's home as well and was rented out for several years.
@Cunningiq I recognized the curtains ...fun to watch..thank you
My 1979 house that was the model home for the development had plush, dark rust colored carpet. It looked pretty good since it was not orange. not at all offensive and it was very high end. Lots of mirrors, too. Oh. There was the carpeted bathroom. A dumb idea that my late husband and I thought was a very impractical choice for a bathroom. This house is the height of garishness as was the decor of the era it was built. Fun to see , though. Thanks, Noah.
Loved those wood front doors and unique switch plates. The place screams the 70s. Love it!
This mansion was beautiful back in the day! Very awesome video bro! 👍❤️🤘
I like that the ball lights in the pool area had different colored hardware. Cool explore!
Yes entertaining in the basement , and home bars were common in the 70's. There wasn't much to do outside the home in the evening in that time period so you just socialized with friends.
Thank you Noah !! Great house with a really dopy floor plan...love the indoor pool. Unclean family 😝 (my opinion) I have been a subscriber for years, never disappointed. Love your intros and music , Thanks again, take care and be safe 🤗Donnie
That was the original master bedroom that next tenants jury rigged into separate rooms . That’s why bathroom is so nice. That light fixture is driftwood. Old fashioned 4 car garage. The. Bar was used.
@@janwarriner6554 4 car garage? Maybe 2 narrow cars at best
Oh my God, yes. I was born in 63 and that's all it was back then, uncles aunts all the cousins we had such big families, im 7 in my family my cousins we families of 9 they would come over and play with us while all the parents went and partied, danced and drank or playing cards. We didnt have a bar but alot of houses did back then. There was always lots and lots of friends coming over as well. Till
Today I hate brown, all brown in my house growing up, cousins houses all brown. I got sick of brown. As you can see in this house, brown walls brown floors puke. This is a true house of the 70s. Thanks for sharing.
Funkiest chandeliers. Never seen anything like that before. Not bad of a house. Pool room is cool. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@clairefunnell8481 How does a person change the light bulbs in a chandelier that hangs over a pool?🤔
@@trishagail353 who knows. I wouldn't have a light over my pool. Dangerous.
They should only demolish a house if its badly haunted or a crime took place there that way noone would buy it anyway
What a great find! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻😃
Yowza! Very interesting home but one thing I feel strongly about: The room in the basement basement that you deemed a bedroom? Why was the padlock on the outside of the door?😳
It’s a cheap easy way to keep people out when you’re not there. I did this when I lived with shady people for a short time.
Maybe someone was paneling rooms off to make rental space or rooms. Cool video. Thanks
Thank you, my friend, for finding and sharing this home 🏡, you do find the most interesting places Noah!
Take care,
Your friend,
Didi, 👍🤗👍
Wow what an opulent home , such a shame it’s all been abandoned since mid 2000s can’t believe how developers are so keen to destroy all these buildings to make way for new when they could be saved , thank you Noah for another fab exploration and the research you put in so that we know the history❤
I pass by that house regularly and incredibly people lived there until Jan of 2023 (it was sold in Dec 2022). I originally thought it was a large family because of the number of cars I would often see in previous years, but now I see it was obviously tenants. Thanks for the video as I always wondered what it looked like inside and even when it was listed for sale no inside pictures were shown. For the past 20 years, no work was ever done on the outside with the exception of cutting the grass and snow removal. Does anyone have more information about the gangster connection or what to search for regarding this? I had no idea and it sounds very interesting.
Above the front door, there was a sticker in Croatian that translates “ peace to this house “. Def belonged to a Croatian family at some point
Even here in Australia we had the same colour tones. My 😢parents built a house just when indoor outdoor carpet was being made, the house was covered in it even had a piece of it to wipe your feet on b4 u entered the house that carpet stayed like new. We had a bar and it got used whenever we had family or friends pop in or at parties we had
I'm from Western Australia and I remember these tones in my parents' house back in the 70s early 80s and that colour brick also.
Gee, why can't the house still stand and build 9 smaller homes behind it?
Hi Noah, it's good to see you, my friend! 😃🖐! I LOVE ❤️ the front doors, too❤!
Would you please tell Greg hello for me? Thank you! 👍
The wood you referred to as paneling in pool area, is actually tongue and groove, which is nothing like paneling.
34:45 Yes! I'm more than from Ontario. Port Hope in fact and yes, I have been through Primitive Designs. Very interesting place indeed. Did you stop by when you filmed the old motel on Toronto Road a few years ago?.
Exactly what was the name of this gangster??? Did you do a research before u posted video?
I lived in Essex Co in the 70's and early 80s. We had a bar in the basement. Room had a big white brick fireplace, fake exposed beams, bright red carpet, and a huge bar. It was a great room to play "the floor is lava" My parents used the bar to entertain. One large party I remember, but mostly it was just a few friends over at a time.
Bars were common in 60's and 70's and used extensively. They still look amazing even now. The materials were much better quality and the workmanship is almost impossible to find today.
Amazing home! Thank you so much for showing! Looks like a place to have lots of parties. No drinking allowed in my home growing up though. I am a wine drinker now though. 😂
Hi Noah! ❤
Hey👋🏻
Just shocks me how many of these you find in your area.
Loved this one,keep on keeping on,take care.❤🇬🇧
Considering how big the house is from the outside it's a disappointment on the inside
Very cool retro property 😮😮😮
Thx for sharing 😎🤟
I love this house the tall windows are nice, I also like its openness and stair ways up and down you'd probably get lost with all these various floors and stairs. The only thing I do not like with this house is the tiled floors too much tiles I like the plain wall and dark wood trims. Great explore thanks Noah.
Wow! What a beautiful house!! I love 70s style house. Thank you
Yes our parents and us kids /teenagers used those bars in the homes back in the old days we didn't have drinking and driving laws like now !Way more social parties back in the 60s and 70s
39:26 Most likely all the water in the pool drained into the basement because that's where the pool pump is. You didn't get into that space though due to the flooding.
Back in the 70’s my uncles house had a bar in the den, and yes it was used lol us kids weren’t really allowed in it much, we had the other half of the den thru the double doors. It was a really nice house in the Los Angeles hills of California. This was a pretty cool explore!
Good find Mate 😎
Thanks 👍
Yeah he know how to answer your question about the people use their fireplaces back in the day. I would have to say yes I grew up with a fireplace in my family's place and we used it every weekend so I'm pretty sure other people use theirs too.
In Australia people started building bars at home when drink driving laws started. They were also a status symbol.
LMFAO 😂😂😂 I'm dying right now," there's a massive coiled turd in that toilet" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes!!! Yes, those downstairs bars were used... All the bars were used. Always stocked. My grandma didn't drink anything but rc but the booze was ready for company, which could show up anytime. Us kids were the bartenders and we would run to the store to get more beer and a carton of cigarettes just for a few Penny candies. True story ❤genx
Wow, too bad it's getting demolished. Cool find!
Cool backstory! what's up Noah?!
A lot of people did have bars. There was one in the house I grew up in and when my husband and I bought our second home in 84 it had a wet bar, that's what they were called. People got together and did a lot of entertaining back then.
On another channel they showed this house to be Sylvester Stallones house. ???
Much ❤ Noah
❤️
This is sad. They should restore and use it as a Senior Center or how about for a Childress home, turn it into a hotel....i guess destroying history is more important. Selling stick builts won again it seems. What a beautiful place in time. Thank you for sharing,
Second time today I seen their house on UA-cam, other UA-cam channel said it belonged to Sylvester Stallone not a gangster!
And they are both lying about the house !!! They filmed it together and can’t get their stories straight…..unsubbed from both of them as I don’t like LIARS!
The basement is totally sick. That fireplace and bar.
Very cool!!
Those grape vines are likely wild grape! Really nasty taste!
That foyer and pool is sick ❤❤❤
Love the grapes
Built in 1979?? Last lived in 1997?? My house was built in 1948 and standing very regal and well sturdy build.
In one part of the room, part of the carpet looks new like, some looks very worn, the sun burned on certain sections from sliding door. Yep, there's was a fire 😢in the kitchen
you obviously didn't grow up in the 70's. This interior is hideous! The kitchen, the lights, the carpet is just awfull..
All the bedrooms doors have deadbolts. Must of been rented rooms at once. The sign behind the door was army related i believe.
wonder how thay raplaced bulbs above pool tho 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Driftwood
I watched this video just yesterday and this. House was said to be the home of slyvesster stallon. So whats the real story
Um, the bar counters looked like official slabs of stone👀 Are they? I grew up with my 6 siblings in Afton Minnesota and mom & dad had a bar like that (even though my mom hates drinking) and
I love this video awesome. 😊😊😮😮❤❤
I'm new here and have questions ...
How many owners has the house had, or is it unfinished business from 1 owner? I love interior design and architecture but I'm not going to lie -- this home has my stomachs in knots. Walking through, did you get a sense of good or bad energy🤷🏻??? I'm afraid to follow you into the basement, but let's gooo🤦
That bar and room would work for large meetings or club house
I didn't watch the whole vid but did you realize the door chimes on the wall as you showed the front door?
Oh yeah, thats a nice bar! And yes, 60s 70s and 80s they were used Alot!!!
I think 🤔 it was Sylvester stallion Mansion, then,.. gangster lair, then, rental
WE DIDNT HAVE A BAR BUT YES MY BROTHER HAD A HUGE BASEMENT WITH A VERY MUCH USED BAR POOL TABLE
I love the mansion house love noah
Those are the ugliest curtains ever.
We cant have dogo recognition through mistplay, it affects our clearance and how the equipment works. It will collapse the auxiliary protection system
Fabulous property 😊😊
This would have been a beautiful house in it's day. I would have added storage to the kitchen and used a lighter colour for the cabinets. The current style is what they would have used when the house was built. It's amazing what some renters will do to a place, taping wallboard on a doorway? ugh. They also did some hatchet jobs in the basement too. I saw another video where it looked like there had been squatters and there was a fire in the stove. I think they lit the fire there thinking that a stove gets hot so a fire in there should be ok, duh. I think a big reason why houses don't have fireplaces is the rules, regulation and the insurance cost. Definitely looks like they did make their own wine. Our bar wasn't used for big parties, just when we had visitors and small gatherings, it kept any mess out of the living room. Hmmmm, changing the light bulb in the chandelier over the pool.
9 new homes. I feel sorry for that bungalo owner next door.
I just seen this house explore on another channel and he said it was built for Sylvester Stallone?
I wonder if those light fixtures were made from grapevine roots? Interesting for sure.
Parquet floors def 70s vibe. Orange shag carpet yuck
Interesting!
Kool house
As cool as it is to explore and look at these places. I'd be leery of getting mold in my lungs, I'd be wearing a mask. And be careful not to fall through a possible rotted floors.
where is this?
So that house was built with dirty money. No thanks. If any house should be demolished, it's that one.
Is not a gangsters house i seen a video yesterday claiming it to be stallones origional house
What a waste that Mini Mansion should be restored to its Original condition.
A taste of the gangster life! oooohhh, nice! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Interesting 🤔, lavishly elegance
Il buy this what State??
no belongings of the owner left behind. totally empty house.
Someone else showed this house and said it was Sylvester Stallone’s house. I have never researched it.
