Nice place,definitely dated. I’m sure the owners partied back in the day and were quite proud of the place. Beautiful property,too. Thanks for sharing ❤

In the upstairs bedroom with the two metal tubes sticking up out of the floor are bolt holes for a power wench. Power wench would be needed for caregivers to help disabled individuals who are heavy to be hoisted up and lifted to their wheelchair safely. The lock on the outside of that bedrooms closet is probably where medical supplies and medications were kept.

Must have been quite a showplace in it's better days. Definitely 60's style throughout. Love the floor pattern downstairs in front of the fireplace. Awesome wine cellar to stock up for 'party central.' Super lakeside view!!

[@irenea2006]

Another epic find. Still remember when shag carpets were the thing.

[@RiddimRyder]

hahah yes!

[@munroborisenko7278]

In 1977 in Canada we just called it a "rack". As a teenager I would rack the deep shag rug in my mom's room because walking on it left footprints ! After racking it then it looks smooth and tidy (for about an hour, lol).

[@andrewjames2569]

Definitely a cool place to explore, thanks for always bringing that epic $#!t Jamie and Zay, be safe out there!

[@charliea3363]

Thanks awesome house

[@RiddimRyder]

Thanksfor watching!!!!

[@cynthiahansen9902]

I bet they sold the elevator cause it was still good and as you say the house is going to be demolished so why waste it. That paneling brings back memories and the shag carpet. That party room needs a disco ball and turn the records!! Ya baby lol Thanks for another great adventure!

[@RiddimRyder]

Definitely repurchased the elevator

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

what a awesome place that wallpaper wow

[@RiddimRyder]

Thanks so much!

[@waynebender8835]

In the garage on the wall near the doorway. What was hanging next to it felt creepy. Overall what a great find. I hate it's being torn down.

[@turtletruck1664]

Nice house here. Love the wallpaper. Wow, Looked like a gaeden rake to me. Haha! Id be worried about a flooded basement with a lakehouse. This one is cool. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@RiddimRyder]

Glad you enjoyed it!!!

[@davezepnick1161]

Those two metal rods coming out the floor for a Hoyer lift to lift the person out of bed

[@RiddimRyder]

Thank you. That does make sense with all the other accessiblty upgrades.

[@JoshG1234]

This home was owned by a German lady and perhaps was also lived in by her husband. The husband who pre-deceased the wife by many years was the founder of a company that produced transit buses beginning in the 1970s. Only two years after starting the business, he passed and the company was sold by his estate leaving the wife with a significant amount of money that allowed her to live in this home until 2020 when she passed. I cannot find any records for the home having been sold however some people believe it may have been. All I know is that the couple's only son appears to still be well and alive.

[@laurabrooks7655]

There was a menorah in the garage, so I wonder if they were Holocaust survivors or children of survivors.

[@clubgus07]

Jamie with out those planks as the joke goes that first step is a Dooooozy, A Bazaar place to put a elevator in the througherfare of a Billards room imagine the near accidents with the elevator coming down on peoples heads i assume there owners were at that point of their lives they didn't care where the elevator was placeed i would placed it in the corner of the room. i like that party room im sure it had some really great 60-70s parties and temperatrue controled wine cellar wow serious stuff. thx for the tour.

[@RiddimRyder]

My pleasure!

[@sharont4462]

Those pipes could of been for home dailysis machine

[@RiddimRyder]

Oh wow ..never thought of that

[@Hinchmankimberly0829]

Hi, Kimberly from upstate NY. Love the house. But...all those sweet mirrors and not one "whats up guys". What is up with that!!😛😂

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

What a amazing house Jamie 😁 Is it move in ready 😂😂😂

[@RiddimRyder]

It sure is! Thanks so much!

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

You are welcome Jamie ❤️

[@aaron___6014]

Heated water bed?

[@Failociraptor]

We simply don't have this stuff in BC. Why is there so much abandoned stuff in Ontario it's wild

[@RiddimRyder]

We are in a state of constant rebuilding in some areas

[@carolali8851]

People still have shag carpets? Who'd a known.😂 I guess it goes well with all the other outdated decor. Nice bar area with the walkout to the lake.

[@josephconner4756]

Wheelchair house looks up and the lift is in the ceiling.

[@RiddimRyder]

Correct

[@valeriekrivanec4863]

I'm sure it was beautiful in its day. You rush through to fast ..

[@josephconner4756]

That guy love to read a lot of books.

[@RiddimRyder]

Absolutely!!!

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

A lots of red carpet Jamie 😃

[@RiddimRyder]

So.much!

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

Somebody love the color red for a carpet 😊

[@josephconner4756]

Where's is Erbex Opie at

[@RiddimRyder]

He doesn't always come with us

[@ayannadivineempath]

This is weird but at 915 as you walk in to the water damage mold closet there is a weird whispery voice that goes over yours. I think i hear you breathing while its making noise. Unless thats the closet. But aounds weird.

[@RiddimRyder]

I will have to review for that!

[@billstill1794]

Shagadelic!

[@RiddimRyder]

Yeah baby!

[@redneckbryon]

Very typical 1960s house, party mansion not so much, just about all houses built in the 60s were similar to this. The house I currently live in, is probably similar in square footage.

[@RiddimRyder]

Ahhh....well it's still a beait regardless of square footage

[@josephconner4756]

Where in the world is Erbex Opie at lately

[@RiddimRyder]

He was at the start of my last video!

[@josephconner4756]

That's for lifting people out of bed in a hammock.

[@RiddimRyder]

Oh okay

[@josephconner4756]

Someone beat you to the loot

[@RiddimRyder]

Hahah seems that way

[@kp8740]

70s, not 60s.
