You’re so responsible about what you’re doing. “I don’t want any animals to get trapped down there,” “I’m not showing the exterior...” It’s just really nice to see. I found your videos before the pandemic, and now they mean even more to me: a very welcome distraction. Also, I’m an American and I’m kind of burned out on seeing houses down here. I’ve never seen videos like this from Canada, and they’re just more special to me for some reason. Thanks so much for being so careful when you go into these homes, and thank you for making these videos, period. Be safe and take care.
I thought the same thing. I’m so appreciative of how he respects these places. ❤️ so exciting, yet sad to see, knowing majority are to be torn down for basic housing. These houses are art at this point in time.
Nice house. The room down the stairs from the kitchen where the "built ins" are looks like that was a bar. The right is where you would hang your stemmed glasses. Left is wine bottles and the door in center opens toward you with the liquor. Pretty cool
I love your videos so much! I never realized just how much I'd be into exploring old homes. I can sit and literally watch your videos for hours and I can't wait for the next upload! I'm binging your videos in my spare time. I'm into the same kind of styled houses you are, I love the retro and brick, all the fireplaces and staircases. They just don't craft them anymore, they're simply slapped together like every house in the neighborhood. I swear they pop houses up in like two days. Cookie cutter. My dad's boss's house is currently going through renovation, it's got a lot of strange architecture - floating staircase, hot tub in the master bath (an actual hot tub built in not a bathtub!) and it's nestled in an alcove. I think it was built in 1978. A lot of it looks original, the wallpaper and the carpets. He added on this retro car show room and a 1950's-style Coca-Cola bar. I wish I could make a video, it is so cool! My dad is renovating it for him while he is at his place in Venice.
Hello, Ethan, my family and I love your channel, and there is something we love about each and every house you do, and this one is our FAVORITE so far - there is something about this house we just love, all the rooms, we love the wallpaper, and the beautiful kitchen, and love the hole in the Master Bedroom Closet - the husband and wife could talk while they hang up their clothes loll. And you do a very good and thorough job showing these houses, just perfect. I hate to think all these beautiful homes are being demolished and replaced with townhomes and such without the character and style of these lovely homes - the built ins in this house are just so wonderful also :) We're bingewatching your great channel while we are under lockdown for covid-19 and love it :)
Neacy Crenshaw I just left a comment about how these videos are such a welcome distraction during these bad times...happy to see someone else out there who is watching right now and feels the same...stay safe. ❤️
I loved this house. Very old school style. That flooring in the laundry room looked like 89-90. My best friend had that flooring in her house downstairs. I really wish people would buy up these houses and fix them up, no one wants to see a future Full of the ugly, poorly made houses of today that look like they were produced in a factory, each one looking the same in design no originality, no brick. I'm glad you have these places archived to remember what real, old time homes looked like and how structurally sound they were. Great find Ethan. Also, please wear a mask. Even just a little one. 🙂
Ethan....I have really been enjoying your videos! I have to say that this might be my favorite house....I love the built ins, the brick, the planter by front door. I do have a question for you or anyone that can answer....why do some many of these homes (your videos or others) end up with so much water damage in the basements? It is sad that these beautiful and expensive homes are destroyed by water damage. I do have a few tips for you: Sometimes it is difficult on the eyes because you do a lot of turning or going back & forth in a room. If you could just slow down a bit and allow us to focus on one thing before you move on so quickly. I also can understand why folks have asked if you would start at the front door. It allows the viewers to get a real sense of the layout of the home. And again, if you slow down a bit and not go in circles as much...that will also help with understanding the layout of the home. Again, live your videos; love your gentle handling of the home and your respect for them. Keep up the good work! And.....”What’s up you guys?”
Would of been a fantastic home, I love 60s style houses they are so well planned out, Thank you Ethan I love watching all your posts and you are a lovely guy. Huggs! x
The pink toilet and tub have to be late 70's to mid-80's. We bought a new house in 95' (new build) and another in 98' (it was built in 97). We looked at 30 to 40 houses each time while searching for our homes. The ones with pink, gold or green toilets, sinks and tubs were all 1970's to 1980's remodels. Thanks for the video! I really enjoy them!
Pastel colored toilets and sinks gained popularity in the 50s and lasted through the 70s. Mary Kay Ash was asked the reason why she chose pink as the color for the containers of her cosmetics and she said the reason was because most bathrooms in the 1960s were pink and she wanted her products to match them.
1968 great year to build a house and being born like I was lol great house older homes have such character love the huge window.... beautiful and that pool is sooo cool!!! The toilet paper comment never gets old bc it’s so true right now lol be safe ♥️
That “retro 70s” chair is actually a reproduction of the Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the International Exposition in Barcelona in 1929 - average cost $1000
Such a cool house. I'd guess, more bedrooms in the basement. As soon as you went in the room with the chairs I spotted the white one and thought I'd love to have that! That toilet paper ups the value of the house quite a bit!!! lol And can I say, I love how you tease the people who hate it when you say, "what is up guys!" Cracks me up!
Ethan, I love how you find these old retro 60s/70s houses. And, your love for these old and unique homes. YOU ROCK DUDE! Keep up the great work. Stay safe. Oh one other thing. The house I grew up in. My mom wanted a Purple Bathroom. Thd work that my did in this bathroom. The tiles were 3/4 different colored 1" tiles on the walls. Don't see how he did it. Because back then. You had to do it one tile at a time aand these were tiny tiles on all 4 walls. Different shades of purple too.
He does it because many people get angry when he doesn't!! I've seen comments about people like "oh you forgot to say hi at the mirror at 'min-sec' ". He even apologized to those people in some other of his videos. Apparently it's an urban explorer thing 'cuz I've seen other you tubers that do the same.
so sad to see beautiful houses like this just sitting there going to waste too bad they cant slash the prices down to where someone could afford it instead of letting sit there and rot.
Blue and pink (mauve) late 80s to early nineties. The foyer, pretty sure, is slate. When you see those blue, gray, reddish stone, usually slate. Funny how the number and size of bathrooms did not become a big selling feature until fairly recently. Nice explore. Thanks for sharing.
My cousin built a ranch split house, across from our house in 1963. They had a hidden/ secret room built off of the basement ( made into a family room )It was great!!
Lovely house, too bad it's getting torn down, per usual, we need to preserve these houses, but sadly, we can't. Just a little over 50 years that house stood for. Thanks for the tour.
The brick wall in the living/dining room is my fav of this house! Too bad about all the water damage and the flooded basement...I’m sure it would’ve been cool down there.
There's the option to move them, but the overarching problem is the lack of suitable raw land, which is why the homes are replaced with multi-family or brand new homes to the owners taste. Moving it would need land as well. There's the option to shift the home on the lot and put the townhouses around it but that changes the character of the home insofar as the grounds, plus the footprint could probably hold multiple townhomes. Just stinks.
I was going to say the same thing - at least it's not just me - I think it is so funny that you say 'What's up you guys" every time you pass a mirror. Now, I wait for it.
Ahhh... I knew I would eventually see one of your videos of a house built in the year I was born. Hopefully I’ll live longer than it! And yeah that black swirl flooring looks like what my grandparents had in their 1960’s house. I think the pool was super creepy - I mean it would just not be something I would choose, in fact I’d rather have no pool at all than that!
Hi Ethan, love your videos!! I like to watch you because you look sooooo much like my son Jeff Dreiman. We have a lot in common also you have OCD when it comes to doors being left open, as do I, and your fear of deep dark water, as do I!! Keep up the good work kiddo and I will keep watching you!! Have fun and be careful.
@ 2:05. That’s a white Barcelona by German mid century designer Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe. I have a set of repros as the real 1s coast over $700 US It was mid 1960 & still made today. Awesome chair. Offer to buy it.
Well it can't be said enough really, it is a terrible shame these great homes have to end up like this sitting, decaying, and ultimately done away with, heartbreaking really. But I appreciate the chance to take the tours, interesting and cool always ☮️
Jessie C man...I hated it when someone’s phone number ended in a zero, and my finger would slip and mess up and I’d have to start all over again...I grew up in a huge house that was part of the Underground Railroad, and we had one rotary phone downstairs...would have to run down there to answer it and would JUST hardly make it before whoever was calling would hang up. No caller ID back then, and answering machines weren’t common. So I’d go back upstairs and then the phone would ring again...arrrgh
musicnerd 72 how’d we get here so fast?!? I was born in ‘76! Remember getting excited over the fact of a CORDLESS phone?? “I can walk all over the house with this thing!” We didn’t get a VCR until I was 12. And microwaves were enormous beasts with a dial instead of buttons! Man oh man...the one thing I do miss is vinyl. They got that one right.
Jaci Rogers My house in Florida was built in 1961 and has terrazzo all throughout. It was still in good shape when we moved in 11 years ago but we’ve had it covered up since
That same slate floor was in the school I worked at last year. The school was originally built in the 60's, but rebuilt in 2000. Parts of the building were kept original, like the hallway with the slate floor and the bathrooms.
I have a couple of questions, when you were talking about the power, you called it “hydro” (“why would you pay for hydro?”), can you explain that to me? My other question is, a lot of the houses you explore have flooded basements, what makes them so prone to flooding you think?
Hydro-electric power. From reservoirs dammed up for the purpose. Canadian slang. I said power on the West Coast and when I came here it was electric, so the power was out=electric was out. Basements seem to often have leakage and sump pumps so if the pumps quit . . .
Interesting- the Britts call it electric , aussies and kiwis call it power ( and even though 90% of our power is renewables including hydro) we don’t call it hydro....
This is crazy that this house has the power on with water in the basement. Who would be paying these power bills? I am trying to fix up my uncle’s condo to sell it and paying the utility bills adds up
I am glad that you're taking an interest in older homes. I hope you don't get upset by this. I know you are a guy and don't keep up with home decor terms but when you refer to California shutters you are really referring to plantation shutters.
I have traveled all over the world and am American, I live in the Southeast. Even Northerners call them plantation shutters because I went with a fellow interior designer to D.C. to the market and looked at them dreaming (they are the Ferrari of blinds in price and looks!) Where are you located ? I just like learning things about other areas.
I thought the kitchen looked very nice and that the appliances were up to date including the vacuum cleaner. Wonder why some doors were nailed shut. Sad about the basement and parts of the roof caving in. Sad that people aren't enjoying 'living in these beautiful homes.
The flooring at the front door is slate. I see someone already let you know about the Barcelona Chair. This sadly is another one of good quality and proportions that will meet the wrecking ball. *Edit* I spoke too soon on the proportions, some of the room sizes and shapes are weird.
Do ya'll have habitat for humanity up there? cuz ALL THAT random furniture that isn't damaged, and the fixtures are GREAT for that kinda of thing. But since its a developer I am sooo sad, knowing most of this or all of it is going into the trash. or a thrift store, or some thing! I understand some people don't love the vintage style, and some times its more $$$ to renovate or restore, but the sheer waste of tearing down an existing home just really pisses me off. EDIT: 100% AGREE NEVER OPEN A FRIDGE OF AN ABANDONED BUILDING!!! smart man
Honestly, having random lights turning off and on makes it appear as if the house is currently being lived in, at least from the street. Thus people might not be tempted into breaking in to steal, vandalize, or even squat.

Both of those houses were gorgeous, it’s a shame that they’re being torn down for generic townhouses.
I agree
There's the option to move them, but the overarching problem is the lack of suitable raw land, which is why the homes are replaced with multi-family or brand new homes to the owners taste. Moving it would need land as well. There's the option to shift the home on the lot and put the townhouses around it but that changes the character of the home insofar as the grounds, plus the footprint could probably hold multiple townhomes. Just stinks.
Love houses with interior brick

Looks more like slate to me. My parents had the same floor coming in French doors from their pool. Popular in the 80’s.
It is slate tiles......we used to have them also!!
The black and white flooring is definitely 60's. With such a massive garden they could have made the ground floor quite a bit bigger.
Ethan, não consigo traduzir para o português. Que casa maravilhosa, ainda está de pé?
Love it !). It’s awesome to be different

That same slate floor was in the school I worked at last year. The school was originally built in the 60's, but rebuilt in 2000. Parts of the building were kept original, like the hallway with the slate floor and the bathrooms.

Table is original as well. Floors not 1968. Floor in laundry may be original.
I love split levels, 1968 is like yesterday to me, wow. Do you take the toilet paper at the end of video visit? I'm just joking :-)
This is crazy that this house has the power on with water in the basement. Who would be paying these power bills? I am trying to fix up my uncle’s condo to sell it and paying the utility bills adds up

I have the same shutters in my own house and they are called California shutters where I’m from.
I have traveled all over the world and am American, I live in the Southeast. Even Northerners call them plantation shutters because I went with a fellow interior designer to D.C. to the market and looked at them dreaming (they are the Ferrari of blinds in price and looks!) Where are you located ? I just like learning things about other areas.
Someone people are living in that house. It's a shame that these homes aren't being sold and fixed up instead of torn down.
Why the hydro/electric was on but no heat, maybe they were hoping it would catch fire on it's own, Geez. what a pity about the basement.
I thought the kitchen looked very nice and that the appliances were up to date including the vacuum cleaner. Wonder why some doors were nailed shut. Sad about the basement and parts of the roof caving in. Sad that people aren't enjoying 'living in these beautiful homes.
“What is up you guys” lol love it
The flooring at the front door is slate. I see someone already let you know about the Barcelona Chair. This sadly is another one of good quality and proportions that will meet the wrecking ball. *Edit* I spoke too soon on the proportions, some of the room sizes and shapes are weird.
very dangerous with all the water damage and the power still on please be careful
That is slate flooring in the entry not terrazzo . Just Google both flooring and you can see the difference between the two of them .
Such a vibe
Do ya'll have habitat for humanity up there? cuz ALL THAT random furniture that isn't damaged, and the fixtures are GREAT for that kinda of thing. But since its a developer I am sooo sad, knowing most of this or all of it is going into the trash. or a thrift store, or some thing! I understand some people don't love the vintage style, and some times its more $$$ to renovate or restore, but the sheer waste of tearing down an existing home just really pisses me off. EDIT: 100% AGREE NEVER OPEN A FRIDGE OF AN ABANDONED BUILDING!!! smart man
Its creepy that that lamp was on a timer and pointing right at he closet 😂
Honestly, having random lights turning off and on makes it appear as if the house is currently being lived in, at least from the street. Thus people might not be tempted into breaking in to steal, vandalize, or even squat.
@@UmmYeahOk , well said.
Basements are creepy we don’t have them in Australia
