- This beautiful old cape cod style house was built in the early 1900’s around 1935-1939 just before the onset of World War II. The house was built for a newly married couple and the husband would go off and serve in the navy and come back to raise a small family in this house. Over the years the kids moved away from the rural isolated area of the house and the couple grew old and passed away in the home in the early 1990’s. Sadly since then the house has sat vacant and derelict, slowly being overgrown by nature, covered away to be forgotten forever back into the earth. Really neat old house, glad I could document this unique old place. Thanks for watching. Like and leave a comment below for me if you enjoyed. Thank you.
Loved it. Beautiful home. At 68 years old I have learned one thing from videos like these, it’s time to get rid of my stuff.
My father passed in December. He left a house and 5 barns to deal with.
Thank God my older brother wants a lot of it or we would have a challenge and a half getting all of that resolved.
May you have many joy filled days ahead of you, I apologize if my comment seemed at all morose or insensitive.
Me too! My mom passed in 2021 and we are still shredding paperwork she kept from the 70s forward!
Me too!
I did when I turned 55 because I knew it would burden my kids someday. It is time to transfer your wealth to kids and grandkids too. Let them get to have things we took for granted in their lives since things are so bad now.
When we retired and moved to Florida, we got rid of all unnecessary stuff. Sold most of our furniture and belongings. Bought new furniture, decorated in coastal florida style, trying to keep everything organized and uncluttered. Don’t want to spend the rest of my life collecting stuff. Now we spend more time gardening, swimming, biking and enjoying the outdoors instead of shopping and accumulating more material things.
Somebody please save that home. So sad to see it abandoned.
It was a beautiful home at one time and sad that the kids did not want anything but it's a fact of time. I'm watching my neighbor who was in her 80's who passed away a few months ago her kids are selling what furniture they can and throwing away things at the curb, spending more time mowing and painting the house than the did when she was alive and needed their help and their company.. she would have been so thrilled to see her kids come over every weekend to see her and do the work that needed done. I am guessing they are prepping the house to sell and move on with their life's. Anna In Ohio
You make some good points about visiting her when she was alive.
Kappy! This home is wall to wall loaded with remnants of someone’s past and treasures. That coffee pot though…sitting there like it’s waiting for someone to come downstairs and fill up a cup. This one is so sad to me. It’s probably nothing but I just get a sad feeling from it. Almost like the owners were older and then had to go to a home and had to leave everything behind. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. You’re the best Kappy. You have such a big heart. We appreciate you. 😊
I get the same feeling. The wife died first and left the husband who refused to let go of any of her belongings. When he finally did leave, he was very old. I am not saying this is true or what happened. This is what I am feeling and sensing. Usually, I don't say much, but when you said what you did about the owners and the sadness, I wanted to tell you how right you are.
@@melissaboggs5176 Agreed, very well said! The place had a very sad feeling no doubt! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching!! :)
Such a shame to see this beautiful house and property being left to rot. All of the vehicles could have been salvaged and sold. Now they are being left to rust and deteriorate. The house is still salvageable. I want so badly to clean, declutter and organize this house. It’s still full of beautiful furniture, household items, toys, collectibles and antiques. I wish we knew the backstory of why this once beautiful and well maintained home has fallen into abandonment and neglect. Would love to see it brought back to life.
Kappy is the only guy I enjoy visiting abandoned homes with. I check out other channels now and again but get turned off when forced to see their face going on and on as if they are the star of the production, when they are only narrators, or guides. I appreciate Kappy's ability to appreciate and also acknowledge the sad state of depreciation. That is not to say I do not enjoy many channels featuring folks working hard to do their part, until they stray too far from home and fall for their own "celebrity status". So, thank you Kappy, for being you and still guarding your own right to privacy and to walking invisibly. I believe even ghosts would respect you. Vandals and thieves should otherwise worry about what may trail along behind them.
You have hit the nail on the head there - Kappy is the only explorer I have seen who is not 'visible' and I watch several different channels. Gill 🇬🇧
I totally agree! Kappy obviously doesn’t have the desire to “see & hear himself talk” , and yes, his exploration channel is my favorite as well!
@@user-wy1ko7gh2z I really appreciate you saying that! I’m glad you enjoy the videos! I try and make the houses the sole focus, I’m certainly not as interesting as them lol! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Same here, the others seem disrespectful somehow.
I love those solid wood doors and wood trim. Now that's quality! What was once standard...
@@waukee321 true! Thank you very much for watching! :)
One of the things that makes your explorations interesting, Kappy, is that you seem to have an eye and an appreciation for architecture. I don't know too much about it except that houses like this have so much more charm for me than boxy, modern, brutalist construction.
It wouldn’t take much to get that house back to being livable. It’s beautiful and beautiful furniture.
You can just feel the grandparent vibe. ❤
@@tamarakonczal6350 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This house looks like what America used to be a cozy house full of treasures and family birthdays and holidays I feel like if you listen carefully you can hear those memories echoing through those rooms. Thank you Kappy for another wonderful explore!!
@@trudirrinhard508 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Oh, the first floor bedroom’s furniture is absolutely gorgeous!
Grandpa had a sense of humor. And a Dachshund!😂
I can't imagine why nobody lives in this nice house. Is it very remote? Only damage I SW was that 1 upstairs room. Very sad just left to decay. 😪
What a goldmine.... I could snoop in here forever. This is the epitome of my grandparents- home back when I was young. Lots of things that are actually valuable and so many memories.
do you think those piano keys are ivory?
Every Saturday I visit Kappy for my weekly dose of melancholy. These homes are always so nostalgic, but this one reminds me of trips to relatives or family friends when I was a child, the elders that are no longer with us, and I wonder what their houses look like today.
Kappy, if you lift up the wooden panel above the piano keys that’s where you’ll see the make and maybe the manufactured year. 😊
Thanks, Kappy-great tour. That main house could be saved. You sure wonder why they dropped everything, and left. Illness, taxes, no children? What a shame. Looks like it was a pretty successful farm once. I hope those folks knew plenty of happy times there.
What a treasure trove the first house is! Still worth buying and saving.
This looks SO Virginia. Who else used to spend hours reading World Book Encyclopedia? : D
What a great home! Except for a little drywall damage in the last bedroom, it literally looks like you could just walk in, do some cleaning and move right in! I love this kind of exploration.
What a nice, well cared for home. Until the people had to leave, that is. Still pretty nice, though. Lots of nice old furniture left behind. It's a shame There's no family that wanted the place, it looks pretty solid, needs some clean up outside with the vehicles and the burned out little house. Thanks, Kappy, this was very nice
I wanted to see the closets
@@user-randi1987 Really glad you enjoyed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This house looks like it was well cared for when they were alive. Mom and Grandma loved her home which makes this so sad. It seems like people came in and made a mess or possibly his wife died before and he couldn't keep it alone. Either way...I am glad they both were able to pass away in it. There is heirloom furniture and surprised the kids did not take it out of there.
That was a neat old house. Still livable with a little TLC!
Happy I could see myself in this house. Home Sweet Home. 😊😊
@@terrykeithley6183 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
That OLDS is a rock and roll machine. Would love to have that on the road.
This house is gorgeous. It is a family home, like they are going to walk back in at any moment.
My dad's house is in the process of being cleaned out right now. He left us in December. It is bizzare and uncomfortable seeing his living room bare and empty. It is who I am and where I am from.
I hope other relatives can afford to buy it and keep it in the family, but I personally will never set foot in it again once it is not my fathers house. Hard to explain.
It would be like an out of body experience, not a pleasant one.
Thanks Kappy
Great video as always.
🕯. . . My sincerest condolences upon the recent loss of your😂 pop. 🫂
I, too, cleaned-out my childhood home, barns, etc., and yes, it's a very strange feeling knowing you may never return.
It wasn't the same, though, was it?
They're gone, so, the life was, also.
Same disconnection to those alive.
My now-late mate wouldn't buy it;
sold to strangers on-the-cheap . . . they tore-up a healthy, huge Maple tree, a Lilac, and two happy bushes, thus far. 🤧
@@WhenImBackInChicago yes. You have hit a lot of the nails, or the same Large one, directly on the head.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
These are times of reflection and acceptance.
Acceptance doesnt mean I have to like it right?
Another gem Kappy. She's a beauty for sure. Wow! So nice. Love the woodwork in the house. Beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@clairefunnell8481 Me too! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
This house is quite stunning still! The woodwork, doors and especially that arched wall ❤❤❤. That house must have a great roof.
What a charming little home. I don't understand why it hasn't been sold for another family to live in and enjoy.
Oh my gosh!! This place is so cool and so worthy of fixing up! So much cool old furniture 🥰
@@joanneehrman6176 Agreed! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Wow !! Mansion or Not , This home is BEAUTIFUL, All the wood trim. It's like they just disappeared. Thank You. BE SAFE ,❤😊✌️
Oh my goodness that clarinet lamp is fantastic! I used to play a clarinet exactly like that back in school. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Kappy for showing this beautiful old house
@@melanienance4920 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I love this house because it's still standing tall with dignity. The inside is sad because of all the personal belongings of those long lost. Amazing find, Kappy! Thank you
I love this beautiful old house! I hate too see so much left behind! Wonderful video as usual Kappy! 👍❤️🤘
@@carlashepherd9362 Agreed really neat old place! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773兄弟14:52那辆车你应该把它拖回去修理一下作收藏之用
It feels like any minute someone will come walking back in & keep living there. I still can't fathom how people can just walk away from a life well lived. You would think someone would properly dispose of these items out of respect.
Nice place…someone really made it a home. Thank you, Kappy.
@@melodyfisher1512 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Those dials on the walls are radiant heat. I still have it and it's good. A beautiful old place. Makes me so sad tho. Thank you for being so respectful and letting us look. Always look forward to these visits.
Kappy, this one seriously made my heart hurt! What a lovely house and all that wonderful vintage wood furniture! Why would someone just leave it all to rot? So sad. Thank you for sharing.
Pretty home, shame no one is taking care of it.
This house could be made beautiful again it's sad that it's been left to fall in thanks for taking me along on this tour with you.
This is the sort of home that should and could be used for someone needing it if there is noone looking after it and it's contents. It could definitely be livable most of the electrical items fans washers etc would probably still work .Sad to see it all left to waste thankyou for the explore Kappy.
Love these old homes so much craftsmanship went into them
Hello Mr Kappy! You were looking for a date on the piano, usually the older it is, details of maker and date made are on the back. The menagerie of furniture styles tell a lot. That 1st bedroom had my favorite type of iron bed in it. And I loved the yellow curtains!
That old Oldsmobile would be a dream to own. I'd bet a little mechanic work and it would run. (Gas mileage would suck and gassing it up would cost a mint!)
Another great video Mr Kappy!!!
Thanks for taking me along! 😊
@@tammybaker6635 very well said! Loved the Oldsmobile too! Thank you very much for watching and the kind words !! :)
I love the Cape cod style qnd the wood trim and furniture.
@@audreywilliams6633 Me too! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
It's so sad I want to cry is there children didn't want it why not respect their parents and sell it to somebody who would appreciate it it's a beautiful home
That old truck has a straight body. Even the inside was pretty good. Someone refurbishing one like it is screaming out lol
Wow , beautiful ,nice furniture,looks taken care of,or dry from moisture,looks like everything still in place,this one is special ,so much to look at
@@tammyasbury6517 Right, I was shocked so packed full of stuff! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Your welcome,love these old homes and places that you document
U find so many cool old places with interesting details and many with great antique furnishings! Thanks, Kappy!🥳🏚️
Thank you! I enjoyed this so much. Seeing how they lived. Gorgeous home!
If you look on the lens covers (for the signals) on them older vehicles you can find a date. Thanks for tour. Wish you would have checked out those old books/papers tho.
I'd say the light blue truck you wanted to know the year on is a '67 Ford F100. Hard to tell difference between late sixties Ford trucks, but given the interior design, this one looks like a '67. Keep up the good videos.
I used to have a t.v. like the one in the living room.
I grew up in a house that was built in the 1940's, so this brought back a lot of memories. This one was bigger and a bit more refined and elaborate, but ours had similar features. The shape of the ceiling on the second floor was just like that only there were no built-in features -- just little doorways leading into the rough eaves beneath the low parts of the roof. There was a chimney going up through the middle of the middle room in the second story too. No fireplace or anything. It was to accommodate a gas furnace on the first floor. And the white-painted walls were a total contrast to the dark, wood doors, doorways and window frames. Our house was on the west coast, so it surprises me that some things were so much alike.
I can understand family leaving some of the belongings behind because they do not know what to do with them, but the pictures get me. I would want those. Its a shame that the home is just left to fade away, as it still looks like the inside could just be lived in now. I was suprised it looked so good!
It's so amazing that even though this house has been Disturbed quite a bit, it still retains a lot of its original character and definitely the artifacts!
Truly a shame to see this beautiful old home wasting away. Especially when the only significant damage I saw was the hole in the wall in the second bedroom upstairs. I love the character of the house and can only imagine all the grand memories that could be shared if those walls could only talk. What was once somebody's childhood home, now stands all but forgotten. So Truly sad. Keep up tge amazing work you do to bring your followers some of the greatest videos. Stay safe and God bless.

Love everything about that home- the wood furniture, the built-ins, the drapes and curtains, the wallpaper on the inside back of kitchen cupboards, all in relatively good shape. Such a good feeling there! Thank you Kappy for another great tour of a beautiful home. Loved the second house too- so sad it burned because it was once charming too I’m sure!
I can't believe this house has not been vandalized. awesome
Thinking the same thing.
Thanx Kappy another great find! I had one of giant tv's , its was a big piece of junk! That house was awesome, must of been great 2 live there! Thanx again and plz b safe out there.
@@NativeNYer Same haha!Those big box TVs used to be so popular before flatscreen came in! Thank you very much for watching! Will do! :)
I had a 1988 Delta 88 Olds until a few years ago and that car looks just like it...
Great way to start a Saturday morning! Thank you for sharing
@@user-uk2ro1hm2y i appreciate you saying that! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I wonder if any family members have ever seen their family homes on your site and were amazed? ( Or saddened ).
Real nice home. I like all the real wood furniture, just beautiful. Has a large spacious bathtub which is super nice feature. I don't like all the white walls, but a lot of people did that in the U.S. got rid of traditional wallpaper, and just had all white walls. I personally prefer some patterns and colors. Pure white is too bright.
Beautiful house and beautiful antique furniture thank you for sharing
@@pamelasinclair-karney8856 Really appreciate that! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Reminds me a little of the house I grew up in. This is a beautiful house.
This was a magnificent find Kappy!! As a person who refinishes furniture, along with vintage and antique stuff, THIS is a goldmine!! The furniture alone is in the THOUSANDS. But that’s secondary to the beautiful home. I have so much vision for restoration back to its former glory. Minimal damage from what I can see. Thank you Kappy
I really enjoyed this house and the outbuildings as well as the old vehicles. I also love to see antiques. Thank you for showing us. 😀
@@jane2949 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Hard to imagine why everything would just be left to rot - including the house. Interesting, but also melancholy. Sad way to leave your life as if nothing mattered.
So many items in this house could be sold or donated. What a shame family doesn’t care
What a neat old house. I'm surprised it's not vandalized. It could certainly be saved.
We had a few of those crystal doorknobs in the house I grew up in. Very cozy house!
I have a lamp that I made out of an old metal clarinet. Thats about all they're good for. A real conversation piece.
I love this house 🏠 and especially the antiques thanks for sharing 😊
Cant believe only one starway up in the first house and allot of the furniture left behind I would love to have...
Another great tour! ♥️ I love the old woodwork and doors. My old home has the same arches.
@@eviehaller8182 Thank you very much for watching!! :)
I so love this place. I'd love to live here and rehabilitate it. It's not gorgeous or fantastic - it just exudes comfort and a simple happy life.
You never disappoint!!! Be safe and GOD BLESS 🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💜 😊😊😊
@@Jean-sv6kk Thank you very much for watching!! :)
What a neat place. Thank you for sharing, Kappy.
Love this house. Brings back some memories from my childhood in the 60s. I bet those plaid chairs and couch are comfy albeit ugly. You missed the clothes pin bag hanging up. It was red plaid ,hanging next to the kitchen. Some pretty neat cars too. .
Thanks Kappy.
I appreciate the fact that you don’t go through drawers and cabinets, as most explorers do.
Haha you’re not nosy enough. I would love to see some of the brand names of clothing. Open boxes etc. ❤😂🎉
We had glass doorknob. Our house was 1940's. There beautiful 😍
Very nice. So much stuff just left as if they still lived there for.
I would definitely redo this home! It is really nice! Thanks for sharing!
This must have been a beautiful house when it was new. How sad nobody wanted the pictures at least. I guess it didn't have a basement. Loved the wood in this house and of course the glass door knobs!
Perfect timing :)
Hey Kappy cant wait to watch. Love your channel. Thank you for doing searching for these gems
@@growinggenerationshomestea516 Appreciate you saying that! Thank you very much for watching!! :)
Wonder dhy family would leave so much cool furniture and stuff behind? Hope some one ne cdn fet it and fix it up. Love this house!
The curtains are breaking my heart.
Was wondering …..have you ever found a house that you completely fell in love with? I’m talking researched to see if it was for sale? Also as much as you travel what state did you fall in love with?
@@connierose311 Yes! I always loved Arlington Plantation in Natchez Mississippi, If I ever hit the lottery I think I’d move there! Such sweet people and a beautiful town! Thanks for watching!! Great questions! :)
Great video! Nice old antique furniture in this house!
All that beautiful furniture.
If you could fall in love with a piece of furniture, I would tell you I'm in love with that bed and bedroom furniture on the 1st floor. That was real wood, correct Kappy? And I really liked the layout of the house and the way he had all the albums between the rails. That is a great idea. If I had a wish about these houses that wasn't the obvious one of them all being restored. If I had that wish, I would wish that all that furniture and memorabilia would automatically be donated to the local museum. (and yes, lol, I'm human, I would want most of it for myself, ha) But at least others could see the stuff that you and your fellow adventurers, Kappy, work so hard to bring to us. Thank you Kappy for all your hard work.
What a beautiful place too bad we can't just go there and save things for the future. Thanks for sharing and have a great day with safe travels.
What a cool find thanks kappy
@@Holly-xn2qz Thank you very much for watching!! :)
That was really cool 😎👍 those old vehicles and yeah always want to see the outbuildings
Those old Oldsmobiles were certainly smooth riding cars. I would love to have one to cruise around in to explore. I was just jacking up so you can get over those rough spots in the road!😅
Fascinatingly good find. Thanks.
Love this house!!!
