**Built in 2013 ABANDONED in 2023** LOTTERY winners custom built DREAM HOME set for demolition

This house was built in 2013 and then completed renovated 2018. Sadly it’s been bought out and will soon be demolished.

[@adriannovillo8465]

Im the old owner of the house, we rebuilt it in 2021, with an extension etc metal roofing, in 2023 we were told by MTO our house was now added to the bradford bypass, We had to move July of this year as we were expropriated. We ended up rebuilding a new custom bigger home 15 minutes away. Lots of memories here.

[@teecaver]

They didn’t allow for you to salvage/sell stair railings, posts, kitchen etc?

Gorgeous home!!!

[@blakedmc1989RaveHD]

shame ya have to be forced to move out but eh i would fight to keep my home if i had dat

@tcaver I believe once they pay you out you have no further claim to the property.

Oooooo, BIGGER custom built home. Aren't you humble😂

So sad a good beautiful home again demolished, I would love to own this home. So many people that need a home for whatever reason this & so many others being demolished though-sickening . Great Find As Always ❤ your videos!!!!

[@DesertEagleDutch]

It's sad. And unfortunately these 'big projects' aren't usually good news either. Generic apartment buildings and houses. Way overpriced. This world has gone crazy. It's all about money and greed.

[@Ron-zi3cg]

Really like the architecture of it, especially the entryway. Can't believe somebody took off and left it, that's a beautiful home.

[@codydixon8418]

Usually older homes get demolished, this is the first seeing new house being demolished.

[@Anubis7163]

The Ontario government forced them out. But this contractor family was at least paid out. They have another nice-sized house now.😊

[@number1angel66]

What a complete waste. If it's being demolished it should be gutted first and have cabinets, tubs, sinks, etc., donated to someplace like Habitat For Humanity or something. I think it's ridiculous that it already has damage and black mold at about 11 years old. All in all it is a nice house. Really small kitchen though and the garages would have been better on the side instead of in front. Thanks for sharing! Blessings of love and light to all!

[@adriannovillo8465]

It probably started getting Mold because they turned the power off, we had 3 sump pumps in the basement because of the Marsh being close. The kitchen had more stuff but we removed it prior to leaving.

[@andreadeamon6419]

I agree. Kitchen is way too tiny

[@SFred-m3b]

Seems like more could have been salvaged. I agree. Complete waste.

I really LOVE that Stairwell!!!! I also like the Grey Gas Fireplace. VERY NICE!!!! The Kitchen, with the Dark Cabinets is Pretty as well. What a SHAME; another DEMOLITION!!!! Wish they'd try and save these places, especially ones that aren't that old!!!! Thanks Urbex.

[@lynnb-TruckCastreauJr]

For such a large and grand home, it sure didn't have much for kitchen cabinets! I certainly would have installed more.

[@debvincent7877]

That’s what I thought! Such a tiny kitchen with absolutely no counter space for such a big home. Maybe the home owner didn’t cook?? lol that’s the only way it makes sense to me

Very nice home, but seems like a small kitchen for a home this size. Sad you have to move after just remodeling, hope you like your new house.

[@ouiji1963]

Amazing find. If the electric meter is live outside, you just had to turn on the main breaker in the service panel and the house would have been powered up. Ashame that the government can just take your home.

[@kathleen726]

All of that beautiful detail and money all left to be demolished?? How sickening!

All of these big investment companies don't care one bit. They'll build generic apartment complexes and houses. Way overpriced. It's all about profit nowadays.

[@michaelturner4811]

It would be nice if they recycled some of the items in the property before they tore it down

[@jfkansas5508]

I know, I'd take a bunch of the base boards. :-) There is a bunch of reuseable stuff in there like sinks, toilets. That spiral railing is pricey. All the doors/casings/trim and handles would good in another home.

[@bjoycebowen2339]

It's rare to see the ceiling water damage - Overall the staircase is nice

[@word-is-bondboxing890]

This was an older home, completely renovated. 3630 east gwillimbury. Not a 2013 custom house. Anyways, still a shame.

[@barbaragravely920]

Wow Jus needs a metal roof that would take care of the mold problem . Id put in a lot more cabinets in kitchen. Crown molding is perfect the thickness of walls makes it better when its cold outside. Down in basement makes since a family could be down there living wow so much space love it open floor plan . Its in the making for us we are lookin at difrent styles and we found what we been lookin for here in NWP, Fl in 2 years. . This is sad going to be gone. why not give a family a home that has no home and they work at night i believe with kids? So many its a crying shame we cant care for others like we take care of our selves.:(

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Hi Urbex!❤

[@Sdot87]

Beautiful house. Shame they had to move. You'd think they would've been notified prior to building that the land wasn't able to withstand a house... I am mad about that kitchen, though. All the rooms were grand except for that.

[@willnoiles2001]

Unfortunately, when this house was built in 2013, nobody foresaw Drug Fraud being elected and then re-elected. He’s the one pushing for the Bradford Bypass; none of the parties supported spending millions building a highway that’ll save commuters maybe a minute…

People can't buy these mansion. Most people can't afford mayintenance & property upkeep & taxes. That is why if I hit a lottery, I will remodel my basement. I would hire people to do minor damaged woodwork, paint inside too. It is 945 sq. Feet living space.

[@adriannovillo8465]

House was only 4700 sqft so no not a mansion. But we were planning on extending and adding another building unil we were expropriated. Now we built a new 5600sqft+ house.

[@pauladix5666]

Why is it abandoned and getting demolished such a lovely house

[@washedupscooterz3315]

Thank you for the address!

[@stephendennis5969]

Ugly house. Garage sticking out the front too far with a flat roof ruins the curb appeal. Looks like a commercial building. Only thing cool is the stairs.

[@dorisrosa62]

I don’t think it was abandoned on purpose, if it’s going to be demolished to construct something else in that area, I believe that the City must of pay the owners for the House.. I seen it happen where I live at, the city paid a complete roll of houses street owners to built a Hotel in the area.. so maybe that’s what happened with this house.

[@CeeTee-12345]

I saw some ceiling leak stains. There's issues certainly..

[@willnoiles2001]

It’s being demolished to make room for the Bradford Bypass. The province expropriated it, sadly.

[@andysuber941]

That kitchen is pretty small for such a big house and why would they put a stack washer/dryer in a house I assume they built from scratch? I guess I would always put more room in the areas that we work in like kitchens and laundry than in random spaces like multiple living or dining rooms. I don't know many people who still eat at their dining room tables unless it's a holiday meal. If there were floor to ceiling bookshelves in the indoor balcony area it would make sense but just as an empty space, it's wasted. I like the fixtures and tiles in the bathrooms. The bathtub in the master bath is pretty but I always wondered how you clean behind it. That basement bath is SO tight. You could sit on the toilet and wash your hands at the same time. I would have had a terrible time NOT poking that water bubble in the strange room. The room with the icons on the wall look like Russian or Greek Orthodox Catholic art and there was a small crucifix in one upstairs bedroom. Interesting explore and sorry to be so chatty.

[@adriannovillo8465]

House had way more cabinets, with a bar, fixtures were removed prior to leaving, we are roman catholics.

[@CeeTee-12345]

The land was what people want. All they need is the right buyer..

[@willnoiles2001]

When the government expropriates your home, you have no choice. They pay fair market value and you have to go…

Why would they demolish it? I hope they take things out and salvage. Personally don’t care for the layout, but it’s a real shame

[@jessiek91]

So strange that the google images pictures for this property show that they were updated 2 weeks ago and in the pics there’s a car in the driveway and vespas and seadoos etc. The property definitely looks lived in. Was your video filmed recently?

[@urbexontario73]

It’s definitely not lived in. It’s going to be demolished very soon.

[@davinasampson6557]

[@markdecker6190]

My father built the ranch house where I grew up in suburban NJ. He passed when I was 15 and eventually after both my brother and I were out of school Mom remarried and they sold it. A family or two lived in it for some years but eventually someone bought it and tore it down. The zoning for that property wouldn't allow anything more than building on the existing foundation size so they put up a two story structure that frankly was pretty fugly but they did double the square footage. Unfortunately it's quite common these days to see perfectly good house torn down to build bigger monstrosities.

[@karenkomoroski6490]

Maybe because he spent so much of his lottery money on the house. He couldn't afford it. That's that's why I have a financial advthere so I don't waste my money. He probably owed a lot in Texas.

Some are easily blinded by money once they get a little more. You have to look forward too. Living large means more taxes and maintenance costs for instance. Not everyone's that smart unfortunately 🤷‍♀️

[@jamiebarnes3531]

No lottery winner. Just people with a business in the trades. They were bought out by the Ontario government. They have since rebuilt a 5600 sq ft home. You can find all this in the comments. The original owners posted a few times.

For winning the lottery they weren't buying/building a grand home to live in. That house is very plain and too open of a concept. The upstairs is so small. I wonder why they left the home? Did they run out of $ or did they divorce? I see it's in Bradford, ON

Probably didn't win a big pot of gold, small winnings most likely

IMO this house NEEDS to be tore down, it looks like its cheaply built house the design makes no sense . Lets build a small kitchen in the middle and a horse shoe of living rooms around it? and no flow to the house the granite or whatever it is floor just looks like it doesn't fit with the rest of the floor. Upstairs there is handrailing along a wall about 2-1/2 feet wide going nowhere . The design of the house outside, well there really isn't a design ugly as hell and lets attach a garage to the front so we have a roof to sit on. Sorry if the people that built this is on here but you can do better then this.
