ABANDONED Custom 5 Million Dollar 1970's Mansion

This very large custom built home was built in 1976. it features one of the most unique and interesting staircases i have ever seen.
there are 4 bedrooms and at least 5 bathrooms. there are large brick fireplaces, a bar, a sauna, and a very large kitchen also in this home.
from my understanding, there are plans to demolish this home and built a much larger house on the large country property. it's sad because this is most definitely a one of a kind house that was custom built nearly 45 years ago.

I was born in 72 and this was they kind of house I HOPED to live in. It's in such great shape. It's so painful to think it's going to be demolished. The money that it's going to take to tear it down and rebuild a new, cookie-cutter house, could be invested into this place to make it something spectacular!!

[@angelmsceeangel9790]

I was born in 1970. I think it's really irresponsible to demolish these homes. People these days flip houses just so they don't get demolished. Nice house. Lovely sraircase! 😇

[@ToyKingWonder]

The cookie cutter mentality has permeated resale homes out here too. It's disgusting. Everything is either grey, beige, or tan. Cars as well. Several years ago, I sold my previous home, a very nice rambling ranch. I installed blonde wood floors throughout. I made a custom dividing wall to separate the dining room from the kitchen and had glass brick to break it up. I had gorgeous one piece linoleum for the kitchen. I built a custom pantry in the wall next to the refrigerator. I bought the best dishwasher money could buy, which still had the porcelain interior before they disallowed that use. I put in new cabinets, with tinted glass on the corner ones to show off your more expensive dishware. In the living room, I had a $500 ceiling fan, porcelain and glass with lacquered blades....$500 in 1996 money. We had a custom front door. It was perfect. We sold the house, and the man that bought it, he and his wife were sold once they saw that kitchen. They loved it. 5 years later, they moved out, and it was up for sale. For laughs, I went in and looked at the house. I wish I had not. All the flooring was ripped out. It was replaced with beige berber carpet, the same thoughout the house. All the walls were painted light grey. The ceiling fan was ripped out, and my neighbor, who loved it, asked if he could take it and the remodeler said sure, and he went to the trash container and it was smashed beyond repair. They just heaved it in there. My separator wall was demolished, the dishwasher was ripped out, and the beautiful stove was gone. Their replacements were the cheapest ones you could get at Home Depot. With all my upgrades gone, there was 1/2 the counter space and 1/2 the cabinets. The front door was replaced with a cheap wood one with no glass. Every single thing that made that house cool was destroyed, to make it "contemporary", also known as beige and ugly. This lazy, ugly, conformist look is now in our strip malls, our industrial design, our stores, everywhere. It really is sickening.

[@debragarrison7326]

Seems like they will be just wasting money to tear this nice home down. It should be lived in. I volunteer.

[@sonjastanger4078]

Exactly... I agree... what a waste 😥😥😥

[@joneyrich834]

I agree well said 💐

[@breezeyb3535]

Have you ever thought about starting petitions to save some of the houses that really are worth it?

[@ipektanrica9029]

Money is the key petitions must gather money to buy a house just to keep from demolishing , real estates does that for us

[@teresaread8185]

I agree, what a waste. But... No matter who owns it, somebody has to pay taxes, utilities, garbage pickup, sewer fees, maintenance on house inside and outside, lawn upkeep, particular prep for extreme summers and winters, and don’t forget...mortgage.

[@walterbrunswick]

Flat roofs are probably the STUPIDEST designs one can do for a residential house Good riddance

[@breezeyb3535]

@@walterbrunswick Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I guess you never thought beyond that flat roof or somehow correcting the issue. Almost a year ago... I'm not even sure what video it is without watching it again.

[@walterbrunswick]

@@breezeyb3535 watch it!! learn from it!

[@jonathanterrett]

Total waste to knock down that house but hardly surprising it’s a wasteful society we live in

[@MrLou061]

Jonathan Terrett agreed

[@stafonvoncamron]

I doubt it will be knocked down during this covid-19 virus pandemic. Most companies will not risk spending money on doing that.

[@sonjastanger4078]

I agree!!! So sad..

[@hollyhyatt1661]

Another Beautiful House, And Property. You Have A Real Talent For Showing Homes. Thanks For Another Great Tour.

[@Notconsumed88]

Oh my gosh this makes me so upset!! This house is incredible!!! How can they tear it down?! There appeared to be literally nothing wrong with it. Wow. Thanks again for another great video!

[@likemeordont5951]

Just imagie New Year's Eve, 1977.

[@N_0968]

Such a beautiful place again! You’re so lucky to be able to see all these houses. Thank you for sharing them with us!

[@MsBlackhawk69]

A little TLC and updating and this could be a really great house. Too bad people have no respect for history and prefer to tear down and build new.

[@dennisgaming5636]

I agree the house can be renovated to what they want

[@LukerativeLion]

4:04 It's so big, the stairs look like they're from a mall department store

[@LukerativeLion]

LOL 4:23 Ethan agrees

[@theresaciba632]

That place is gorgeous purple in the foyer that chandelier in a staircase is awesome I can't understand why anybody would want to tear this down instead of fixing it glass on the deck to awesome awesome

[@SillySmosher]

Was worried with the lack of mirrors in the first half of the tour we weren’t going to get a “what is up you guys” glad the basement came through

[@dnae760]

Was almost gonna cry myself

[@denieseromines2148]

Hello ,from Tennessee I enjoy your videos . This home was great , I was 16 in 1976 and we did love to party . I can't understand why people want to tear down great homes .

[@paintedbird]

Truly beautiful house! It looks like it was well care for over the years. So sad to think no one wants it anymore.

[@debbyh.9028]

This house is so amazing! How cool! And the scenery out the window was spectacular! So sad this home is gonna be demolished! There is so much "living" it could still provide! That one messed up bedroom was odd.

[@patriciahartless2095]

Thank you for the tour. Of this gorgeous house. The room where the walls . Was messed up could be repaired. I love the staircase. And the hanging down light fixture. I love big kitchens. Shame they're going to destroy this house. If I had the money I'd buy it. Have a great day.

[@juliesmith8153]

One of the best staircases. Beautiful house. Great job 🤗

[@staceyking7911]

Ethan, you really MUST consider a petition to save these georgeous homes from demolition, BTW, this is a very sharp house.

[@MaineDJ1]

You forgot to go back to the foyer.

[@kymberlyward6683]

That was where the staircase is.

[@tarabrooks3760]

There's absolutely no reason to destroy this beautiful house. I'd love to live in it. Y'all don't appreciate what you've got until you no longer have it. I know. I've been homeless for nearly a year due to an eviction that wasn't my fault and since then I've been living in my car and motels. That house or any house would be much appreciated by me or another homeless family.

[@joneyrich834]

Well said 💐 I agree

[@danapidd6013]

Why is it being demolished? So many people could live here.😣

[@angiesigler3680]

That house is way to clean to be abandoned for that many years

[@angiesigler3680]

I’m thinking office building and a home anyway obviously not abandoned for that long or somebody’s keeping it clean sketchy in my opinion maybe research it

[@chiefkeef4L]

There’s probably an HOA that will mow the lawn and complain to whoever owns the house to keep at least the outside tidy, but there is a lot of dust in the kitchen u can see on the counters

[@neacycrenshaw8738]

Omg! This is a fantastic house. I would love to own it. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrGaryRoberton]

That looks like a house from the mid 80's it has that stark, modern almost avaunt garde tone to it.The architect was a few years ahead of the curve. Must have been a hoot living there Back in the day Crank up the tears for fears and the cars on the stereo set.....

[@UmmYeahOk]

I definitely got that 80s vibe in the office and kitchen. It’s possible that after ten years it got “remodeled.”

[@ZuluReddy]

Got odd vibes watching this tour. Wouldn't be surprised if some strange stuff occurred on this property.

[@goldicreates2673]

What do u feel ? Any rooms in particular u get vibes from??

[@elleeme9451]

Something with the staircase....That was the coldest/ bad vibe place for me

[@louisianabred616]

that little closet room was creepy. like a punishment room.

[@sunkissed4261]

That's the vibe I had too.

[@audrab27]

It's actually used for cleaning supplies like vacuums brooms dusters. It keeps everything in one place and u don't have to lug a vacuum up and down the stairs.

[@violetstupinalexopoulos3288]

Can't even believe how clean this is - excellent condition

[@amyrah9546]

Love love love crazy to think it was built in the 70’s it looks so modern

[@craiggillett5985]

Wow. Amazing house. Great work Ethan. Loved the black kitchen. Incredible home. Sounds so solid.

[@cityalien]

This one is so cool! The shower head in the Master Bedroom I think is a type of "rain shower" and I don't think that is a 1970s design. Do you know whether the house has been lived in since the renovation? It seems so clean!

[@HericaneHannah]

A lot of the kitchen looked updated too

[@tracym1284]

I'd keep the house as it was if I had the cash to get a house like this was

[@dixiechampagne2892]

Nice driving range out past the pool, be like living in your own country club. Probably repurpose it for tubing in the winter (unless it's more extreme than it looked from the window). That is totally where the 80s architecture came from: The 70s. Looks like some early 2000s redo's have been done, like the mixed wood-tones in the kitchen. That stuff, as well as mixed metals, are hot now

[@msjannifer]

This would’ve been an awesome renovation home!! Sad its getting torn down

[@dawne5139]

The roof might be the problem. Flat roofs, can be very expensive to fix and maintain. Too bad, because it has a lot of really great features and storage.

That carpet on the bar probably went through the whole house, people in the 70s loved their carpet

[@ckendall9955]

It’s a very nice house. I think it’s more of a very large house rather than mansion. It isn’t very opulent, even for the 70s. To be such a large house it has kind a cozy comfortable feel. That’s what I like about it. Tfs

[@Judy.LoveandLightAlways]

Adore the mezzanine, makes the creepy basement not so creepy. Stunning. For a 70s home the architect/builder way ahead of their time. @3:59 That staircase is so modern, Stunning. I actually love it. @4:07 Adore that hanging light, That is still in fashion today. That's so sad 99% of your video's the homes will be torn down. Well I/We your subscribers Thank you for saving history Ethan. The back yard looks like a park, so beautiful. @9:22 now that basement is not creepy, it's cosy because it's opened from the Mezzanine, adore the fireplace not centred "go away o.c.d, but still love it, that bar lol, carpet. I Always think if your upstairs in bed and someone was trying to break in from the basement, you wouldn't hear them. Just my thinking as we don't have basements here in Melbourne, Australia. I think that's why they give me the creeps. "What you don't have you don't miss or think about re=basements" @11:06 And then the creepy basement darn, just when I thought the basement wasn't creepy there's another one. Grrr @13:52 That large mirror reminded me of a ballet room but no rails. This made my day two video's Ethan, this one popped up after the last one yay. Brilliant, Beautiful home. Thank you so much hug's from Australia xx

[@oxwoman8]

1990's kitchen remodel btw, the chandelier and the clerestory windows in the staircase are spectacular! The wide treads and the low risers of the staircase are classic 1970s design. A lady could look like she's gliding up in her palazzo pants. I graduated from high school in 1976 and one of my favorite things as a teenager to do was go into houses that were under construction. Especially the post modern style ones. I live in the South and we called the house style "California Contemporary". They were (and still are) so cool!

[@karenjackson9145]

You do an excellent presentation! You're right, the stairs give that mall, doctor's office, school building vibe! However, I believe the room off the kitchen with the fireplace is not a dining room, but a family room. The garage/utility room would not normally walk through a dining room. And that unit in the storage room may be either an iron water filter/ or heavy duty water softener. Keep your great videos coming!

[@ninnin261]

So cool!...Back when houses still had character. Only an idiot would tear this down!
