Ethan I would recommend that you wear a mask or respirator when going through these abandoned houses. The smell you mentioned is probably mold and it's very dangerous. Take care and stay safe.
Why all the negative comments??
The 70s were brilliant!
Great tour of a home and time that have sadly gone! Thank you.
@@jamesjuke7505 the architecture of the period was less than stellar! Been in construction since 1972, seen it all. That place was also a half way house or a dormitory. The sign on outside door, the cut up rooms. Way too many floors.
Saw another version of this same house. It showed that it was broken up into rental rooms. Also, that abandoned home blogger said it was at one point abandoned by a criminal who fled to Europe. Interesting tour. Thank you.
I watched a tour on this house the other day also. He said it was owned by a crime family, never mentioned it being Sly's old digs.
In about 2018, I was sitting in the upstairs den of my house that was built in 1979. Suddenly, I heard what sounded like a massive explosion coming from my kitchen. I ran into the kitchen and found that the big white ball light had separated itself from it's attachment to the vaulted ceiling and had crashed onto the Italian tile floor. What a mess. Shards of glass everywhere. Fun video. Thanks.
Interesting and unique house. Too bad it wasn’t taken great care of or refurbished for another chance at life. Interesting entry area with cool steps. Lots of cool ceramic tiling and cool retro light fixtures. The fireplaces quite detailed. And oh that orange carpet! Love the parquet floors. How cool and fun to have an indoor pool. I wonder if it could really be kept warm enough in winter to actually use it. Lots of room in that basement for parties. And it will be replaced by homes that look like every other home close enough to just hear the conversations of one’s neighbors three feet away. Thanks for sharing this cool one Ethan. Take care, be well and stay safe!
It’s wonderful how much you appreciate the older houses and all they have. Thanks Ethan for the trip down memory lane 💜🇦🇺
The carpet is very retro. And the multiple stairways. Super wacky. I love it though.
I remember the name of the carpet color was Rust. When you see an old newspaper check the date. Keep those retro houses coming they give me fond memories of childhood.
I was in my teens in the 70's. I still think the decor was dang ugly. Shag carpets were H E double L to vacuum and shampoo. Great house Ethan. Not fancy at all for a Mansion tho.
@@sunshine3914 That was literally one of the best parts of the house! There's certainly a lot more character in it than in the houses made today.
@@sunshine3914 its beautiful? people with garbage taste like you is why every building is the same blend of white and grey now, thanks for the death of taste
@@chillysnowgirl8322 but no, don't you want a hyper minimalist mcmansion-y house with walls so thin and flimsy you can feel the breeze through it?
This is really fantastic. The burnt orange and stripes are signature classic colors of the 70s for sure! Lots of damage inside and out. I always wonder how these homes incur so much damage over the years. Was it vandalism? Vegetation overgrowth is unreal here, too!
Man thank you so much for posing this!
If I understand the timeline, ol Sly could have just been a late 70s star at the time that this place would have been his palace, but fortunately for us, Rocky II saved all of us from these "doldrums".
The callbacks to the 50s are everywhere: the arch fireplaces, duel welcome ramps from the foyer, 3 stories of goodness, Dolly Parton on a 70s coke binge vibe, and last but not least the feeling that a prime Jack Horner pulling up in a Caddy is just around the bend.
What more could one ask for in 1977?
Thanks so much for this tour!
@@thecandyman9308 stop frontn hoe Y'all know y'all hitting tht pipe. Ms kangaroo hoppn up w a quickness
I grew up in homes like this in my childhood. So many fond memories. Best memories ever
The front doors are gorgeous! Everything about the waste of this house upsets me. It’s very Italian to me, so yes, I’d believe the Mafia thing.
One more thing: That mushroom-shaped, dated, light fixture was AWESOME, as was the Rec room.
It's SO italian. But NOT a mansion! I'm actually very surprised how small it is. This must be a vacation house. I'm so surprised how small the kitchen and master are. Maybe he was filming some movies in Toronto?
I used to have the same kitchen light in my house before I remodeled the kitchen. The fireplaces were so unique. This home is like a maze. The indoor pool is a great feature. This was a great find. Thank you Ethan. ❤
I love swimming pools, but I wouldn't ever want an indoor swimming pool. Every house that I've ever seen with one has a mildew problem in the house. It looks cool, but not worth it. This house might of been amazing back in the day, but it's a mess now. It's ashame it gets like that. Thank you for sharing.
the problem is, you gotta have it in a seperate building or have a proper commercial dehumification system built for pools
There’s a new system called Desert Dry that keeps the humidity down. My neighbor has a new addition with a pool. You would never know
This place must have been awesome in its heyday! I can imagine Stallone and his friends hanging out by that fabulous indoor pool and that amazing fireplace! Very cool explore, Ethan!!!
@@243wayne1 Interesting! The title says "Sylvester Stallone's Dream Mansion" so I kinda thought he spent time there.
Hey Ethan..love this place...its huge ,but kitchen didn't look that big ....the entrance is fabulous 👌...love the 70s and everything that goes with it ...thank you Ethan for sharing ...another cracking find.....stay safe well and happy 💋
too funny--that's a doorbell, and it's loud--"I found that out"
Why does everyone assume it was abandoned by stallone himself? He may have been the one who had it built originally then it was sold who knows how many times before it became abandoned.....makes sense to me
Ethan if you wouldn’t mind, please explain or inform me of how you get your information. If this was Sylvester Stallone‘s home. I don’t believe he would leave it in that kind of condition unless he sold it to someone else and they let it go to that point. I don’t believe he’s that type of person that would allow his property to go down to the point that this one is but this house is absolutely gorgeous. I love the fireplaces and the unique light fixtures. I hope they take those down because you can never get those back They’re one of a kind. thank you for sharing. Take care and be safe.🫶🏻🤠
There's no evidence this ever belonged to Sly. At least nothing I can find online.
Such a huge house and the kitchen is so small
That orange carpet was in my brother’s family room when he bought his house. I like the drift wood light fixtures. The bar and fireplace were cool Gotta love the 70’s decor
I love the details and appreciate how you take time to show them all!
Wow, what an amazing home. Totally remarkable retro!! 🤩 I love seeing all the original architectural and decor elements untouched, there's always at least a couple or more things that instantly take me back to that time. This one was loaded inside and out with such fantastic and interesting features! I love the fireplaces and the purple bath, the basement bar, the pool area. A real quality dream home for its era!! Sad as always it will be erased 😐 Great adventure as always!🤟✌️
Wow Ethan, this one was really cool!! Not sure how I missed the notification for this one when you posted it. This place must have been an amazing showplace in its day, before it was turned into some sort of weird slum lord rental property with added rooms and dead bolts on all the interior doors. Geeez… Love the orange carpet and that hanging light in the kitchen. I was just about to say wow how is the basement not flooded, then you got to the flooded part. I bet the folks living in all of the new builds around this massive abandoned house are having a fit! I can’t believe it hasn’t already been torn down. Oh and how do you change burned out lights in all of those hanging lights over a pool?? lol cool but that would be on my mind all the time.
I honestly cannot find any records tiring this house to Sylvester Stallone. The colors an style are really yuck. LOL! Has some nice features such as the indoor swimming pool but the kitchen is way too small for a house this size. The bright red/orange carpets and tiles are really out of date. Very overgroen, like you said. Thank you Ethan for the explore, stay safe and healthy. Blessings to you. 😁❤
Well think about it. Is it feasable that Ontario ever multiple mafia bosses and they all just left their houses one day? Or that multiple lottery winners went bankrupt? Or that Stallone had a house in Ontario when in fact his PR contact says it's not true? This guy is a complete tosser who makes up facts to get his audience to like him. Says hes worth a quarter million but lives with his mom's sister hahahaha
Because he never lived here I've sent him the video on tik tok he ahd lived same home for 45 yrs NOT this one
I can’t find this house either. I don’t think this is the right one. The other house maybe. This is a pain to find.
What a cool house. The amount of different levels. The most amazing was the pool in lower level. Ethan you did again. Thanks for the great work 😊❤🎉
I love, love, love older homes. This house has to be a blast for kids back in the day. I get excited seeing all the individuality of older houses because they were not cookie cutter for the most part. Houses up until about the late 80's had character. The everything because carbon copies with no character built in at all. So plain without imagination. This house is so awesome and I would have loved to see it in it's glory days.
The layout of this house is so complex, with many levels and interconnectivity. If group of gunmen invaded this house, the owner would have serious tactical advantages.
Why do rich people just abandon a place. Fix it up for a family in need. So sad.
Just no respect for that kind of waste, when there are homeless people, poor people etc. This is nauseating.
Who’s paying the property tax on it
Not the bank it’s just sitting and rotting
Those ball lights were neat with the coloured ends (stems?). I don't think i've ever seen ones like that. The wood walls, curved bar, and purple tub/fixtures were my favourites. Thanks for sharing it here so we could see it too! Take care & have a good night. 🙂
A great video Ethan! We always expect great videos from you and you always
deliver. Very cool house. Love that indoor pool. Too bad we couldn’t see the
flooded part. Stay safe and well.👍🆒
There is always a creepy chair in these houses.🪑
I love the front entrance! Such a shame it’s abandoned! Very cool video Ethan! 👍❤️🤘
What a beautiful house Ethan and I love it 👍❤️😎
Cool house but a little odd also. I liked the grand entrance outside at the beginning, the fireplaces were cool and the surprise pool! Now that back hall 😅behind the bar was a little creepy. Thanks for sharing!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Amazing incredible house. Great video
Wow! Who knew? Pool is the best thing here. Pretty neat house Ethan. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Number 1 question- how does someone randomly get into an abandoned home like this???????????
I always thought the flooring were kind of cool the retro look .yeah definitely looks like a formal dining room with those big Window curtains I'm not too big of a fan of a bi-level houses I never did get into those .it's kind of a strange how the stairs goes up and down and then in the middle is like the kitchen and the living room or dining room but all in all it's kind of cool❤ I'm not too big of the railings , I don't think they were like the greatest material of railings , you knocked it out of the park again and you did a good job with this one and thank you very much for sharing this house adventure
I have found nothing I like about this house. If I was the neighbor I would be having fits with the City! Thanks for taking us along and all your hard work!
A great find. I don't get the Chandler in pool area. Water might hit it. If you are splashing. Cool pool though. Thank you Ethan. Another great find. 👍👍
Wow! That indoor pool was amazing! Not a fan of the orange shag carpet.
Amazing find, love the fireplaces and the front door. It's a shame it is being demolished, the lay out is very different.
The mansion is very big and could be restored like it was in 1979, back when I was 13.Sylvester Stallion a awesome actor.
This was interesting to say the least. The house is humongous with lots of strange characteristics. Thanks Ethan!
I think that it was a boarding house in its last life. So many of the rooms and bathroom had locks.
Very cool house!
What a fabulous house and the tiles at the entrance just gorgeous loved it thank you 🙏 ❤
The split level houses are always so interesting and fun to watch you walk through. *PS* you probably hear this all the time, but you really should wear a mask to respirator when you walk through some of these houses.
This house is extremely, late 1970s. Everything about this house was stylish for that period. Now, with all the money Stallone has, he couldn't keep the property clean. Rather the home was built in the late '70s or today, keep the property clean.
Looks like there was a plumbing or electrical problem and they had to destroy the dry walls
Como siempre un trabajo impecable! Gracias Ethan ❤
Hi E. Great video.Would have been fantastic to see this place while still clean and undamaged. Random chair once again? Must have known you were coming! By the way I read in our paper that glass blocks are back in style. Yeah!!!
Thanks Hun this is defnitly retro spelling . I love how it is shaped wow cool levels .Love the idea carpet at pool so no slipping and hurting yourself is a great way to stay safe while walking.Split i love it .Thanks Ethan really kool video love ya buddy stay safe out there. When walking outside items get stuck on bottom shoes becareful with glass ?Barbie NWP, FL
That has to be the most screwed up floor plan I've ever seen.
That place is amazingly hideous... I can hear an old ladys voice yelling from the back... you tell em harold!
What a great and spacious entrance, and yet a small kitchen, very strange. Would love to have seen it in its heyday❤.
Thank you Ethan. A fun adventure.
It looks like it was rented out to several people all the doors have deadbolts on them
It always amazing to see the house 🏡 video Ethan amazing job how big that is big
now that's a weird place . ❤❤ Stay safe love ya
Hi! Ethan🙂I've been watching ur channel for a few years. I love your cool & retro finds to explore. I haven't seen ur channel in a while & coming back i noticed u seem much quieter & like not as happy or enthusiastic. I hope you are doing ok and healthy & that all is well. Maybe you were just sick, but I barely recognized ur voice. Really hope everything is good! Just a concerned watcher! Love ur content so much plz keep ur videos coming. Thank you!🙂👍
Still in amazing shape to be abandoned that long!!!
Great video Ethan and thank for sharing 👍❤️😎
I would have liked to 👀 house in it's prime
Ethan, this was so rad of a tour!! I was noticing the light sconces the same time you were, lol. My aunt had that exact door bell set up and ya, it gave off a heavy, annoying, loud bong, bong, bong sound. Those light switch panels are sweet! Love to have been with you on this one, as you could see the beauty also through the current stage of the house. I bet you could almost hear the voices of the past, celebrating holidays, get-togethers, and just day to day events. The fireplaces and the ceramic tiles were something else. Love the 70's orange shag carpet and that sweet looking wallpaper and the wood paneling ☮Our neighbor's had the EXCACT duplicate pool room in there house. Right down to the dimensions of the room, pool and the wood paneled walls...but without the chandler. Would not want to be in that pool with that hanging over me, lol. Great tour, bro. Thanks for doing what you do👍 p.s...you're from Canada, too? What part?
How did this beautiful home get run down like that? Where is this home located? I’m sure with proper renovation this place could be top notch again ..,,,
It's vintage, I agree. The only thing I like is the pool. The architecture of the house cheaply made. We have seen homes from the 1800s with beautiful wood all over. The staircase spindles cheap. Ty for showing it.
Interesting house. Terrible layout hideous carpeting & wallpaper.
Nice brick work outside.
As always Ethan well done
Much luv carry on
I’m surprised the neighbors don’t complain about how overgrown the place is.
That was fun. The 70s were awesome and a much simpler time.
Awesome old house,not sure id wanna be swimming with that chandelier above the pool though I don't think that would be up to code anywhere now. Thx for the vid awesome
I’m glad you’re not by yourself. The last video I watched was an odd house that I think was haunted. This house would be really interesting to have seen when it had its family in it. Too bad it’s so run down.
The house looks like it needs a lot of work and repairs big money 😷🤮
I'm surprised the pool isn't lined with orange shag carpet...
Thanks for sharing. Love Stallone and his family. Sad how the place is falling apart. Bet it was beautiful at one time. Thankyou again, for taking the time out to show it.
Amazing find Ethan!
Sylvester certainly knew how to utilize basement spaces - who woulda guessed ...! the wooden ceiling lights ate very nice ..
I don't know if you were with anyone but at 12:30 it sounds like another person talking . Right before you said you could hear animals in the ceiling. Strange. Lol Great video!!!
This era of architecture and house building is just incredible,coming right of the back of the oh so cool mid century modern era the 70s boast so many parallels .I grew up in this era in similar although not as big houses and it evokes so many fantastic memories of when times were 'cool' not fake cool of today
The bar is sick 😮 The whole basement in fact 👍🏼
The cabinets and lights on the ceiling in the kitchen is the exact same as my childhood home which we still own. I'm not exactly sure when our house was built but we moved into it in January on 1981. I know it was built in the 1970's. Bathroom mirrors are on the wall exactly the same. When we first moved in I think the carpet was about the same color. That 1st big fireplace is gorgeous but the stone looks fake. Our house has actual stone. Where I live we do not have basements as we are mostly marsh, which I don't mind cause basements scare me. We also have the exact same banister rods (not sure what they are called).
I like the bar and fireplace down stairs.Did Stallone sell it or leave it and when was it lived in last, ❤️🇺🇸👍
I moved in a brand new house at age 5. 1970. It had all of the same colors, light switch covers, sconce lights, patters, orange shag, wood and brick colors. A very well built house. It was completely gutted by fire in 1991 and rebuilt inside even better than before but different color scheme of course just my dad remained there then. In the Illinois/Wisconsin border
Hey Ethan, ThankYou for another great video.
Hi Ethan nice to
Meet u beautiful abandoned sly home so sad it abandon 😢
Love the fountain out front and the front entrance is nice
Ethan pray you are well 😊
The 70s home decor was too heavy, thick, and dark and just seemed too unclean. I’m a GenX and it LOATHE the 70s style home, and this one tops the cake of absolute 70s gore🤢
I'm GenX as well. I absolutely hate the decor from the 70s, especially the colors
Can you imagine how magnificent this place was in its glory! Thank you Ethan for another awesome place. ❤😊
@@ethanminnie i do truly appreciate all of your videos. I have been somewhat incapacitated since April 28 2024 from falling with a broken femur, a broken former hip replacement, & broken knee bones. Major surgery. So i want you to know, your awesome videos have absolutely saved my sanity. Thank you again so much! ♥️👍❤️🥰☺️😍🤗
Great video.
Was someone with you exploring?
I saw someone else in the background.
I absolutely love and admire your taste for vintage. I cannot wrap my head around why these homes are being destroyed.
I gel that the history and architecture may be a little outdated in some homes.
But these homes are now a museum of the past.
it’s a total waste to tear down a perfectly good house. Especially if it is part of decorating history. ❤
i don't think architecture gets outdated, infact i'd say what we're building right now is characterless and will date quickly
