Got to admit that the owner kept this place up! The 70’s, decade of different color carpeting in every room, colored linoleum floors, fireplaces, different wallpaper etc. Brings back sooo many great memories. Nothing like having property like this. Take care Ethan
I love that house it brings back so many memories I was born in 1961 . I was picturing the Bell bottom pants with big flowers on them and the bead curtains ❤🏵️🌸🌻
Yup, boomer here. Dad bought brand new in 66. House on same floor plan. Ours was plain compared to this one but we had wood flooring everywhere. No Hvac system. Couldn't afford the extra.
Someone built their dream house and lived in it until it was time to leave. I'm going to believe they were happy, so they never wanted to change anything. Sad that such a clean, perfectly good house will be torn down. But at least you've documented it for the kids and grandkids who may remember this place.
This is heartbreaking. This house is incredible. I really hate seeing homes torn down in such amazing condition 😢. Thank you for sharing this beautiful historic home.❤❤
Wug . Well , this is one of your best young man . Love the open floor plan . Everything IS original , I was a teenager in the 70's . Everything was wall to wall , carpeting , drapes " very upscale at the time " the phone in the basement is a " Contempra " by Bell Canada , you had to pay extra to rent it as well as touchtone witch was another extra . There was only Bell , so no competition . As for Viking , it was " Eaton's " department store's home brand for appliances . I could go on but , enough for today . Later Ethan . 😎
That's a radio shack intercom. That house is decked out in the height of 70s luxury! I live in a similar split level from 1975. And those supa swag lamps in the bathroom!
This looks so much like my parents' home that I left in 1974. We had the exact same linoleum that's in that entry and hallway area! We had a dog that had a phobia about linoleum. He'd walk on anything but linoleum . He weighed almost 100 lbs, and we'd have to pick him up and carry him across the linoleum to get to the other side of the hallway. This is a great find, Ethan. I never thought I'd see that linoleum ever again!
Born in 1961 and this house is very very similar to what I grew up in until I was 21. Side split level, gold custom curtains, bay window, similar linoleum pattern, custom outlet covers, cedar closet. My room was blue, we had sculptured carpet (brown). This house takes me home to very fond memories. My parents bought it new for $19k. It’s still around. This home was so taken care of. Too bad it’s coming down. I’d love to have this house. ❤
Many of us are old timers that Tver the seventies quite well and do appreciate the architecture from back then. (Some of us go back a lot further than the 70’s). 😮
I want this house. I grew up in the 70/80’s and this house is amazing. There not a lot of homes like this in California anymore. I would not change 1 thing
Wow what an incredible untouched retro!! The condition is really amazing. There's so much to love about it, that groovy colored carpet, the beautiful fireplaces, the light fixtures, everything really! It's a shame about the mold, otherwise it's such a pristine home. It's a shame that this one will be torn down, such a fantastic example of that era. The property is gorgeous! Really cool find and explore! 😎🤟✌️
I bet they had a housekeeper (Alice)! That's why everything is in such good condition, well taken care of! The housekeeper probably lived in that room with the red carpet, and that was her bathroom, too. I was a teen in the 70s. Very high class home back then!
That light fixture with the ball on the cord has a pulley in it so you can move it up and down for convenience. Nice explore too bad it's being torn down and left to flood, though I'm really surprised they drained it.👌
It should be illegal to rip down old houses in good shape. The older houses were built to last; the newer houses aren't. The older houses had character; the newer houses almost never do.
My in-laws house in Tennessee was in that same style, though smaller. Same dark wood trim, casement windows, floor to ceiling drapes. They would have been in their 90s now. You should have pulled down on that UFO light fixture. It adjusts up and down. The chord reels up in that pod.
The decorator accent colors are straight out of 1975. There was a time when you could order themed decor right out of a catalogue, Southwestern motif, new England , mountain woods Etc. The drapes actually color matched to the bedspreads and carpet to "Coordinate" the look. It's like a window to the past. I've never seen color contrast light fixtures however. Cool Place Ethan....
Ethan that bathroom with the weird lights in the chain we had that exact setup in one of our bathrooms in our ranch home we had also that bathroom vanity that has the white and brown . What are tub was Green. As always these homes that you find always has these massive backyards
Wow. Thank you. I have lived in 2 homes from this era. The first one we left in 1971 and the second in 1995. The house you are showing is almost identical to the second house. The decor ISS like our first house. Same decor almost exactly. Only difference was we had darker green shag carpet. This home seems so well maintained. I would move into it as is in a heartbeat. ❤️❤️
I love how well kept this house is. I really enjoyed this. I also like how much you appreciated it too. I had a patients house who’s was preserved just like this one. She lived well in it but it looked great just like this house. Her carpet looked better than mine and I just built my house 6 years ago🤦🏻♀️ I needed to weigh her and she tells me her scale is really old and she pulled out a big metal one from the 60s that looked brand new and worked better than any digital one.
We had the same fireplace,I mean the brass front. In my house the entire wall was brick. My dad used to over stuff it and I remember the long matches to lite it. We were lucky to visit it in 2016. They built an addition on the back. But they kept the original fireplace and wall.
Wow, that was cool! I love the light fixtures! I'd love to have that little chandelier in the dining room. Too bad the basement got flooded, that's a lot of space. Love the tri-level, that was a big thing back then. Thanks for showing us this great house!
As a child growing up in the 6o's - 70's, I can remember the greens and gold colors. The wallpaper, and the flooring. We had flooring very similiar, if not exact. And, the light fixtures, too. This house has been taken good care of. A real shame its being torn down.
Nice place and reminder of the house i did a lot of my growing up years in. I watched my dad install everything Androck which is what was seen around the entrance. All but the kitchen globe fixture and the ones upstairs were new in the mid 90s. She spent a chunk around 1997 98 redoing the entire kitchen. The washer and dryer are from the mid 70s. The big upstairs bathroom is definitely all original untouched that I could tell. The small room with the kitchen drop fixture was the Sewing Room (looking like it). The carpet all original. Most likely all from the former Kraus Carpet in Waterloo which was just all torn down.
Excellent video, fascinating time capsule of a house. Our ranch style house was built in 1978 and had had 2 owners before us and was a rental before we bought it 31 years ago. It didn’t look that good when we moved in. The house you are looking at was taken care of meticulously, perhaps not lived in full time, to look that good.
If you pull down on the UFO light fixture, it will drop down. We had one in my parents’ house when I was a kid. You push up to get it to go back up. :) We also had the linoleum in avocado green and harvest gold in the kitchen lol Cool old house, I’m sorry to see it go.
@@lauranorwar This house is in good shape too. A thorough cleaning, maybe sanding some of the woodwork and re staining the window trim and a new coat of paint. Move in. Enjoy.
I remember those dark brass light switch plates-I think we had them..I grew up in the 80's and, I remember the green carpet. Your feet would kinda sink into it. And, you could poke holes into it and, it would leave round indent, where your fingers were..
It's sick. Isn't it. Slums all over the continent and big business always got to tear down. It's because of the zip code. Developers want the real-estate. Toronto, Hamilton, Missauga, New London, Windsor; Ontario being driven to unaffordability. Where I live now in U.S. it is cheaper. But for how long?
someone, somewhere needs to buy a 1970's house like this, that is all original, buy the period furniture and decoration and original 1970's appliances and product containers for the kitchen and bathroom. and open it as a museum. kind of like the house of the 7 gables in Salem Mass. but a 1970's edition, and charge a small entry fee and have a tour guide, who would explain decor trends, and items from the era. so that younger people can experience a small part of what it was like living back in the 1970's, I was a teen back then, and miss it so! Most people were so open, real and friendly back then...
Shag carpet, and the raised wall paper. SOOOOO 70's. This house has been maintained very well. I would have lived there. Those door bells are still around. Far and few between, but they are out there
Got to admit that the owner kept this place up! The 70’s, decade of different color carpeting in every room, colored linoleum floors, fireplaces, different wallpaper etc. Brings back sooo many great memories. Nothing like having property like this. Take care Ethan
Whoever owned this house, really did take care of it , wonderful condition . Thanks
That is a shame to tear down this lovely home. So much can be done with it. Would love to live there.
I hate how old houses like this get took and and something new and ugly takes its place.
This was definitely a time capsule. Well taken care of, as well. Quite nice & with the outdoor location, it is a good location. Well done.
I love that house it brings back so many memories I was born in 1961 . I was picturing the Bell bottom pants with big flowers on them and the bead curtains ❤🏵️🌸🌻

I can’t believe what great shape the carpet is in! Maytag appliances last forever!!
Vintage home. Love it ❤

I agree, it's a shame that some people don't value beauty.
Super nice home for it's day. Very comfortable with decent square footage and with all that land!

Nothing like 70s draperies!! What a gem of a home. Reminds me of the 70's Bilevel we owned - the wallpaper and linoleum were rampant throughout
Ours too. It was older but I figure she remodeled in the early 70s
Seriously feeling some wild energy Lin this house. ESP here. In the kit
Omg. The clock. My bday. Lol
You stepped back in time, into a museum.

Yep.
That looks like it was a pretty high-end home. I graduated in 1975. Reminds me of high school!
This looks like my parents home when we first moved to Sandy springs, Ga.
What a shame it’s being torn down! This house is beautiful & still look’s awesome! Well kept up house! Awesome video Ethan! 👍👍❤️🤘
I want this house. I grew up in the 70/80’s and this house is amazing. There not a lot of homes like this in California anymore. I would not change 1 thing
This has to be one of the top five houses you’ve covered. Original, large, split level beautiful house
That is an incredible time capsule. If it were not for the cellar, I would live in, just the way it is. 😍
Wow what an incredible untouched retro!! The condition is really amazing.

Strange little kitchen for such a big house but functional I reckon 😊
That house is in amazing shape!
Wow, what a beautiful house.Thank you so much for the video. I do appreciate it.⚘️🌻😊
I'd live in it, except the poor basement. Probably why it's being torn down. Thanks for another great video!
Beautiful house....was well taken care of. Shame nice houses like that are torn down. Soo sad.
Thank you Ethan nice memories
I bet they had a housekeeper (Alice)! That's why everything is in such good condition, well taken care of! The housekeeper probably lived in that room with the red carpet, and that was her bathroom, too. I was a teen in the 70s. Very high class home back then!
Canada seems to have so many lovely homes that are set to be demolished. It's a shame.
Thanks for letting us see them, Ethan!
These original untouched time capsules are my favorite! It’s literally like going back in time. Keep up the great videos Ethan!!!
That light fixture with the ball on the cord has a pulley in it so you can move it up and down for convenience. Nice explore too bad it's being torn down and left to flood, though I'm really surprised they drained it.👌

I am vintage me 1965 so good to see ya
This house was so well taken care of. I love it 🥰

Ours is in knoxville. Built 66.
Such a pristine home. It was obviously loved. Kitchens were small but very functional in those days. Glad you shared before it is gone
Kitchens were small cause it was usually only Mom in them. lol
Ethan love this well kept home. So retro ! The light fixtures bring back memories. Love this find! Great work finding this one!!
Of coarse the basement flooded.........they stupidly turned off the electricity and thus the sump pump could not work.
Liked the dryer. Never knew viking did laundry
LOVE IT!!!!!
Thanks Ethan!! Great find!😊😊😊
Love it! Reminds me of being a teenager.
But Ethan, please wear a mask when there is mold.
I graduated HS in 1975. Fun to see the '70s! We had foil wallpaper .
wow I would love to live there . thanks for sharing ❤❤ stay safe love ya

This looks like it's going to be a good one. Let's get into a Ethan shall we❤
Ethan that bathroom with the weird lights in the chain we had that exact setup in one of our bathrooms in our ranch home we had also that bathroom vanity that has the white and brown . What are tub was Green. As always these homes that you find always has these massive backyards
It's a shame they are tearing that beautiful home down!!!😢
That light lense in the master bedroom is known as a popcorn lense. Big in the 70’s.
Hello Ethan
O M G it does look similar to the Brady Bunch house lol
That’s your kind of house Ethan! 😊
My brother has that exact same linoleum in his kitchen!
Wow. Thank you. I have lived in 2 homes from this era. The first one we left in 1971 and the second in 1995. The house you are showing is almost identical to the second house.

Looks like took real good care of it. It’s always the shame the homes have to be torn down.. Nice house , thanks for the tour. Great find.❤
Who ever owned this had some serious 1970s money. Central vacuum wall ports.........big money
Boy that place is amazing who needs a big house now days give me that place just love it
This house is so beautiful Ethan and thank you for the tour of the place 👍❤️😎
That's a good house, it's not dated even though it takes me away to other times, it's a style
What a cool house. The owners took extremely good care of it. Such a shame that it’s going to be demolished!
Nice 🏠 n 😎 shirt Ethan

They don't make houses like this anymore. So much character! I enjoyed this one. See you on the next one!
Wild carpets. Sure stand out. Really neat house Ethan. Bummer they are going to bulldoze it. Sucks. Be safe. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice house 🏠 👌 👍 👏 😍
Hi Ethan Nice 👍✌️

Omg Sweet N' Low... now I KNOW I'm at grandma's house! "Be a dear, go get me some saccharin for my tea!"
I wonder if it was in the same type of bottle as my grandmas. The top was white and pointed.

Hi Ethan!❤
What an absolute pity to lose a house that is really a 70's time capsule.
I agree!!! I can’t believe they don’t try to sell it just like it is!!
@@lauranorwar There are people who would give their eye teeth to own a mid century modern (toward the end of the era but this one is really nice).
@@paulinebuckles2310 I know! And they’d probably pay top dollar!
@@lauranorwar This house is in good shape too. A thorough cleaning, maybe sanding some of the woodwork and re staining the window trim and a new coat of paint. Move in. Enjoy.
@@paulinebuckles2310 yes! Even the deck in the backyard is in good shape! I wonder who decided to demolish it? They’re making a mistake!
Autumn color in your house and smokey the bear would say do not set forest fires , l hope this house doesn't demolished its modern for the 70s.
Fairy beautiful house I love the older houses
That house is amazing.
You are so funny Ethan, you don’t like basements!
That basement looked very uninviting. Ethan is tall 6.4. Be wearing cobwebs and centipedes if he go there.
Wowzer! This house is amazing, I love everything about it. Thank you for showing us this beautiful home, too bad it's going bye bye 1:38
A UFO light fixture…lol.
Would love to live there well taken care of
Great find! ❤
Hello Ethan 👋I’m watching the great video now 👍❤️😎
Appliances back from the Sixties and Seventies were made to last forever!
OmG we had that old floor in the kitchen when I was 12 in the 70's.
My parents have the same wallpaper boarder as the kitchen, but they have it in a bathroom.
Maytags and biking were good brand appliances!
It breaks my heart to think it's getting torn down
I remember those dark brass light switch plates-I think we had them..I grew up in the 80's and, I remember the green carpet. Your feet would kinda sink into it. And, you could poke holes into it and, it would leave round indent, where your fingers were..
What you saw by the stairs was for nick knacks
There are people who would happily buy this house as is. I know I would if I could. Why not try to sell it in all of its glory before destroying it?
It's sick. Isn't it. Slums all over the continent and big business always got to tear down. It's because of the zip code. Developers want the real-estate. Toronto, Hamilton, Missauga, New London, Windsor; Ontario being driven to unaffordability. Where I live now in U.S. it is cheaper. But for how long?
I do hope they salvage some of those fittings
someone, somewhere needs to buy a 1970's house like this, that is all original, buy the period furniture and decoration
and original 1970's appliances and product containers for the kitchen and bathroom. and open it as a museum. kind of like
the house of the 7 gables in Salem Mass. but a 1970's edition, and charge a small entry fee and have a tour guide, who would
explain decor trends, and items from the era. so that younger people can experience a small part of what it was like living back
in the 1970's, I was a teen back then, and miss it so! Most people were so open, real and friendly back then...
Gold and green were colors of the 60s.
I hope much of the material from the house will be saved and reused.
Shag carpet, and the raised wall paper. SOOOOO 70's. This house has been maintained very well. I would have lived there. Those door bells are still around. Far and few between, but they are out there
