Urban Exploring an Abandoned Dream House That Is No More

[@dannsherstone1037]

Great camera work! Love being able to see the whole layout of the house in a continuous, unedited flow and hear the sounds of the house and your footsteps. What a beautiful house.

[@dancurrythelegend]

It never ceases to amaze me that those assholes can go into a house and destroy everything - I hope they will never ever have anything in their lives as beautiful as this house was.

[@OmegaWolf747]

"You are the same decaying, organic matter as everything else." Love it!

[@karenquick8737]

Wow, what an absolute gorgeous house at one time. Vandals make my heart sick!!

[@joannesabourin1108]

The front of this beautiful home gave me a woodsy cottage vibe, gorgeous! Once inside, you can tell it was a dream home at one point, but so much damage, it made me think of a hate crime, which is so sad. I too wonder what would make people abandon such a wonderful place and let it decay in such a way. Another great find, you have great collaborators :)

[@megsimpson7736]

What a fantastic find! Whoever owned this luxury home must have paid big bucks to have it furnished in such a lavish style. Wow! $$$ Too bad that Volunteer places like Habitat for Humanity or Raise theRoof couldn't have retrieved tubs, sauna, counters, frig. etc before those idiots trashed this place. your photography is excellent - as usual - great coverage, Thanks for posting this one.

[@dawnm7544]

Awesome looking house, love the deck where you can go outside.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I was a great house )

[@dawnm7544]

It is such a shame when you come across a home like that. I don't even want to think how many abandon homes that are left behind.

[@ladyravenswood147]

Another great explore my friend. Big rooms AND big closets, now that's a home for sure. As always you did a wonderful job.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Ahhh Lady, thanks again!

[@MsCMB1971]

omg! that house is big enough to accomodate several families

[@upalevelproductions]

that was very beautiful once shame about all the destruction great find 👍

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Thank you !

[@gcfan803]

Great find daadeeoh! I bet this place was just beautiful once. The floors, molding, doors and fixtures were just amazing. A real shame to see something so beautiful be trashed. I guess sometimes life happens. I also think that is wild seeing window units upstairs in a million dollar home. As always, thanks for sharing!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

My pleasure )))

[@francinebabineau3133]

it breaks my heart to see that people have wrecked the place. I'm sure that was quite the beautiful house once upon a time. thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I am always happy to share!

[@MegaGinia]

What a beautiful home. It is sad that it has been defaced and destroyed by thoughtless vandals, rather than being allowed to retire in dignity, with the memories of a time when it was a loved and cherished home to a family. People who lived their lives there, and looked forward to the time when they could come home to a place which welcomed them, and made them feel safe, and provided respite from the harshness of the world we live in. The harshness of that world has now been brought into this sanctuary, and it is no longer a safe and happy place in which to find solace. Thank you for sharing. 💐

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

My pleasure to share, thank you for you insightful comment ))))

[@Leslie537]

Well said. It's like you read my mind.

[@trinacrawford8150]

The reason for small window unit air conditioners in upstairs bedrooms is to keep your own separate room at the temp you personally want. They use them in addition to the house's central air.

[@masquedblonde7853]

Another great video, Dee! Thanks Ethan for such an amazing recommendation! It's such a shame, this house was so gorgeous! Hopefully the former family has gone on to better things.

[@sirgeorgeprevost3612]

I've spent many a sleepless night wondering what your right hand looks like. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

LMAO

[@sirgeorgeprevost3612]

***** Hey! we both have a sense of humour. Have a great day.

[@SaltyNationalist]

However,,, Will there ever be a face reveal?? Makes one think.. Lol.

[@sirgeorgeprevost3612]

R Boyd Nah, he probably looks like a movie star and he doesn't want to get swamped by thousands of adoring female fans.

[@SaltyNationalist]

+SIR GEORGE PREVOST. Yeah. It figures as much. No worries though. I'll be ok. Lol.

[@lauracarrow3691]

I really do enjoy your videos more than any others. You definitely have a dedication, wading into so much trash and showing so many gems. Again, I do prefer the peace and quiet you give so we can focus on the video. Kudos !!

[@franscinedorff7098]

This house is awesome!!!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Absolutely !

[@ExploringwithHunter]

Great find love the house! Plus your title is on the money.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Thank you !!

[@TSCBroken]

i think the little room on the main floor is lined with cedar. if so, its most likely a storage closet and not a humidor.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

You think so? but there was a closet right beside?

[@bannol1]

Makes me wonder what happened to the owners and I feel sad watching this. This was someone's home and a nice one at that. Someone clearly loved this place once and a lot of care was taken when it was built. The interior fitout is of very high quality. Letting such a nice house go to waste and people going in there trashing it just for the fun of it seems so pointless and callous.

[@ceciliahouston6294]

That house needs love. It is obvious that the original owners loved it. So sad it is trashed but still has great bones and beauty. Awesome job! Was that done with your new camera? lol

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

ya new Gopro, it seems to be a wider FOV..I will have to get used to it or change it in the settings, i am up in the air on it

[@denisesmith6547]

This one breaks my heart. And it's huge!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

It was for sure a dream house for someone...

[@rodreel7136]

I like to watch your videos because you do a great job and because you don't fill it with needless chatter. " oh, here's a chair , or here is a door." keep it simple and people will follow and support when they are able. great job !! you have a follower in me. subscribed!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Needless chatter...hahaha, my thoughts EXACTLY!

[@tammysmith3560]

This would make someone a really nice home when fixed up.

[@w8lftr]

Huge house inside. Must have been impressive in its day. Quality built along with solid doors and no expense wasted on any of the bathrooms. Must have been an expensive place to heat with electric baseboard through out.

[@firestormthereddragongamer4539]

I really like your video keep on make them. Thank you

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Thanks Michael, that makes my day to hear your compliment. Lots more coming!

[@nurlindafsihotang49]

i found my dream house! say what is that wood? that the door and 2nd floor arch made of? very thick sound its made. good quality woods i reckon

[@yuvinmw]

Great video! To answer your question about why they used small AC's upstairs and not central air is most likely because the HVAC system in the house isn't powerful enough to blow cold air to the upper floor. The main floor and basement would be fine with the central. I used to live in a home where the central AC cooled down the basement to an unbearable amount and the main floor was not even 2 degrees below ambient.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Thank you for the insight into the ac..i was very curious about that

[@mejustme479]

what a View!!! Lovely house.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

It really was ))

[@denisesmith6547]

I hate vandals!!!!!!!!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Me 2 !!!

[@koikoizopuk1248]

what's vandals means?

[@Polemodrome]

They are tweens with tiny dick complex. Or dumbass druggies. They like it to destroy as it empowers them like they are the eponymous barbarians of the Antiquity. Crush their dreams and stop calling them that =)

[@Polemodrome]

I am serious though. Why do you think these destroyers so insist about spraying penis on the walls, among other things? It sort of has a Freudian symbolic, when you think about it... That's why I cease to use a word that is badass for them, to just belittle them as TPC people. A good combat begins with the according terminology.

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

Out skirts of Atchison Kansas old abandoned farm homes. Beware tho its tornado alley. Nice house lil dark needs tubular skylights. House is quite large. Stay safe. Thanks for sharing

[@SassyHooper]

Vandals make me so sick. what a beautiful house that was!!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I could not agree more Sassy

[@firstlast-vq4xt]

Another great video, DaddyO! Some folks should remember that holes in walls are _sometimes_ made by potential contractors / repair companies, wanting to know if there's any damage behind the drywall - not everything is vandalism But the spray painting is pure childishness and it grinds my gears >:-|

[@jmarylastone]

I noticed that about the air conditioners also and was wondering

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Weird right?

[@jupitur1184]

As of Friday, October 4th, 2019, this house is demolished. Im gonna miss this place, definitely made some great memories here.

[@tyrice7226]

I used to pass it all the time driving along Mcglaughlin heading up to Brampton. Sadly it is gone now. It feels like a big peice of history has now been erased

[@GothicaBeauty]

My god that kitchen is to die for.

[@pbs4535]

YAY! another great video it's a SHAME! it was vandalized. good job well done.😜

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Thanks Josie! I am happy to share with you ))

[@maureenallen7778]

I get so mad and upset to think of what that house once looked like and to see it now in this condition. I don't understand why some people just have to destroy these places. They cause so much damage you can imagine how much it would cost to repair. I hope that one day the vandals have something of theirs trashed , then they would know how it feels.

[@aprilpisciotta9544]

Thank you for sharing

[@kaiserbill5711]

somebody went after that place with a vengeance - surprised they didn't set it on fire !!!

[@salliegiocondo1738]

Beautiful quality, solid core doors on all rooms, lovely trim. I would love to catch the little bastards that destroyed this home. I would make them clean and repair every inch of it. It really troubles me that someone would want to do this to someone's home. Too bad when they smash the glass they don't get cut up and have to go to the hospital and explain to their parents how it happened. The reason they don't have central air is because they have base board heat, so there's no duct work. Today they have units that are flush to the ceiling and are very effective. Thanks for sharing this.

[@deanastevenson5078]

Why people wreck homes is a question I ask myself A LOT ....this was a beautiful home. So sad.

[@debibliss6541]

Another great house! It's a shame that people tend more towards destruction and vandalism....

[@lesbeyer5292]

What a shame such a beautiful house.It looks like it could of been brought back to be a great home loved everything I saw.Thank you for sharing great job and please be safe while exploring you never know what kind of idiots you may run in too.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

+Les Beyer I do try to be safe ) I know those one had such a human feel to it..and now it waits for destruction

[@mateusdonadio]

As I expected the end: "Welcome to the family, son."

[@tictok6948]

God, I couldn't stand to watch this video. This house was beautiful. Kids had to do that damage. What a shame.

[@kdl28]

Another great video. A shame about the pure vandalism. Looks like someone went in with a hammer and just went crazy on things. Sad. Thanks again.

[@jwrappuhn71]

That was a bad ass pad, with a little elbow grease it can be again, good vid bro.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I could not agree more!

[@lynniedog]

Such a big beautiful home. I don't understand why idiots get a thrill out of destroying other peoples property. Hope someone can bring it back to life before it is to late.

[@virus_In_Lullaby]

would have been a really nice house before ... great vid

[@TheMetalmachine467]

awesome videos big house a shame it went to waste

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I know..that is so sad!

[@suzilindblad5207]

Beautiful home...or at least it was.

[@ChesterPaulSgroi]

Nice video. I wonder why some of the doors were missing from some rooms while present in others? Thanks for sharing.

[@kene5751]

Chester,believe it or people will steal anything that isn't nailed down tight. We had a solar panel stolen off our hom ein broad daylight while we were out hiking. Ballsy

[@blairstewart2476]

What a fantastic home. The ac units are a bit strange for such a elaborate place.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I thought the same, but some HVAC fans have given some insight in the comments )

[@forterierocks]

Sad that place was gorgeous!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I know ! it was an amazing place !

[@forterierocks]

I work for a general contractor so I can see all the time and effort put into that home, house alone without the property was in the half a million dollar range to build just from what I can see and probably in the $850 and up range in sale price. There's a huge mansion close to where I live the owner started the build got 2 years into the build and passed away, the unfinished house sold for $3.45 million and is still under construction I estimate it approximately 12-15,000 square feet.

[@susancollison8524]

The time and skill of workers that built. This home all for nothing, what a shame. Love your work!!

[@janramey9811]

I'm surprised no one has stolen all of the expensive electrical, mechanical, and architectural pieces, though some pieces are missing or are in the process of removal. I think the wood "closet" might have been a cedar closet for off season clothes. I suspect the window units upstairs were to help cool the rooms under that large roof because the central air unit needed help. Vandals are a**holes and I always figure they are little punks who can't stand anyone having nice things they don't have. I'd almost rather see someone steal things than just to destroy for no reason! The best answer to the problem would be if the owners or bank would at least call a salvage company and sell the removable items instead of just let them be ruined or stolen. Great video, you are one of my favorite film makers!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Thank you Jan!Fans like you keep me sharing!

[@balanceiskey9646]

Thieves and degenerates really know how to wreck a place, that place was huge, wouldn't had guessed that from seeing the bit from the outside, certainly was a dream house that is no more. Thanks for the tour. keep safe, cheers.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I try to stay safe, thank you for caring )) I am glad you enjoyed )

[@nena78ish]

the house didn't look big at all from the outside....but it looks huge inside. amazing find!!!

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

+nena78ish I thought the exact same thing !

[@giovanna722]

Good job. So glad you didn't put tinkly piano music on it :) Was there any information at all on who lived there? There are photos, but you didn't show them. Was that out of repect for the former residents?

[@rachellebaird5057]

What a beautiful home, it's a shame that asshats come in and destroy abandoned places. Apparently their parents never taught them any manners, just because it's abandoned doesn't give them the right to vandalize.

[@JohnJones-ec2uc]

Did this grand house not have central heat and air ??? If it did, then why all the window units ?

[@deborazahn996]

We are so thankful this didn't happen to our home while we were stationed overseas.

[@svpracer98]

i wonder if that 2nd story wasn't an add-on...

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

That may be possible, but everything matched so well if it was

[@buddylight2191]

Great video. I wonder what the square foot of the house is?

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

maybe 4000 sqFt ? justa guess ..Mansions are 5000 and up I think

[@Rich_123]

Excellent video! I wouldn't put the blame on vandals entirely. When the housing bubble burst in the US, many owners destroyed their own homes when the bank foreclosed to get back at the bank and make it impossible to resell. The way they hit every wall, glass, and expensive fixture, but didn't appear to take any wiring points to this. Just a guess however.

[@patigiddens1314]

I feel the same. What makes people feel they have the right to destroy this home?!?! It really pisses me off. Someone sent a lot if money on this place! Thanks great video!!!!😀

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I am happy to share, thank you for watching !

[@arberhayes9925]

Was once a very nice place.

[@judymaxwell3700]

dee dee i could cry for this house so sad judy

[@constancekrischan9967]

I would love to claim, renovate and live in this home!

[@kaiserbill5711]

any idea when the house was built ?

[@ethanminnie]

kaiserbill5711 built in the early 90s

[@Crisu20]

omg this house is huge and so beautiful !!! why the hell would someone be so disgusting in destroying everything around...its like they had anger issues

[@nokomisnichols]

its the thug gutter mentality of the kids these days. they have no discipline or respect of anything of beauty or value. its really a shame.

[@megsimpson7736]

To add my two-cents worth to the comments about the ever-increasing infiltration of subdivisions - I don't think any town is safe anymore. We drove through Alliston last month (haven't been there for years) - first thing you see is a massive subdivision - Unreal! …. there goes the small town look and Ontario's good farmland - on the bright side there will be lots of abandoned homes to explore. Gotta look on the bright side. Progress is inevitable I guess,

[@joekrause6382]

Thats a nice size house

[@lisabrereton1]

After reading all the comments on how beautiful the house was and has been trashed by vandals, I couldn't even watch the video. My heart hurt too much, I didn't need to see it.

[@sandypilipenko5575]

My air conditioner is in the wall too. We're renting a farmhouse and we were surprised to see an air conditioner in the wall and not in the window.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I was very curious with all the $ spent why the small ac units we like that

[@sandypilipenko5575]

The air conditioner is a wall of my bedroom. When we first moved in we took it out cause it didnt work. The landlord told us that it was to cool the entire 2nd floor. No other bedrooms have an air conditioner in them. We put one of our air conditioners in. Then we found a huge air conditioner in the basement that was supposed to go in the wall. We looked at the BTU's or whatever theyre called and we said no way was that monster going in the wall. I would have froze to death in the summer if we used it.

[@robertaamerson8784]

Why does everything look round

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

New camera..I wasn't a fan..have since changed it up

[@tammysmith3560]

Was that cedar wood in some of the closets?

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

yuup..I thought it may be a walk in humidor...some say not...

[@ruby5900]

could you please tell me why this happens to all those houses? i can think of some but would you list some thanks

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

I have no idea for this one, maybe money, may be some other reason, tell me what you think ?

[@CuracaoLife]

Is this explore with the new camera? Awesome explore bro! :)

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Yes, first one published with the new cam ) I like it, glad you did as well )

[@CuracaoLife]

***** The quality is great!

[@mitchellvivian885]

where is this house?

[@tyrice7226]

I know exactly where it is. It's located in Missisauga Ontario but I can't give u the actually address it's against the urbanex code

[@tammysmith3560]

I noticed this place had wall insert air conditioners. Was there not central in this place?

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Same thing I was wondering ... very odd HVAC

[@LostPlacesBunker]

Interessanter Ort ! Klasse Video:) Viele grüße

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Vielen Dank für die Zeit nehmen, zu beobachten. Ich liebe mein Hobby zu teilen. Bitte teilen Sie, wenn Sie können.

[@dorotkake]

So beautiful and so destroyed :(

[@dancurrythelegend]

I prefer the individual air conditioners in the bedrooms upstairs - my sister is always running cold and hates air at night - where I am always running hot and prefer air conditioning on at night when I sleep.

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

So personal temp preference is the reason you think ?

[@dancurrythelegend]

Don't know why they did it that way but I like it.

[@salliegiocondo1738]

They had base board heat therefore no duct work in the house.

[@trinacrawford8150]

I would love to have that big sauna.

[@MystoRobot]

Hehe, new camera's first video? Confusing wide angle though :P

[@DaaDeeOhAdventures]

Ya it seems to be wider than the old one, I am checking the settings, still great footage though )

[@oolive8020]

Verum

[@DayTripper1025]

Dont get why people would vandalize something that doesnt belong to them...such a beautiful home too

[@lindadempsey329]

What a waste!!! I bet this was beautiful at one time. What the hell is wrong with people!!! Great video!!

[@jennieodonnell48]

So awful the way that house has been torn up.

[@artmaker79hitgano64]

Jennie O'Donnell i love you

[@autumnlawson4953]

It's so sad that these houses get trashes and vandalized like they do. perfectly good places just rotting away.

[@MsCMB1971]

That house looks so much smaller from the outside.

[@calmingdragon2862]

Sunshine , when my realtor did a virtual tour of my house I was astonished as to how big it appeared and it truly wasn't as big as it looked on camera. I am sure this house is a humongous house.

[@aprilbennett6280]

Beautiful house sad it was destroyed like it is.

[@rodreel7136]

i must add also that i too just don't understand why people must destroy places like this. and i'd like to ask you how many times have you run across people squatting or stealing things?

[@jacquelinemccune1657]

I almost get ill when I see what vandals have done! It would be to the owners benefit to have someone taking care of the place just to keep the vandals out. Then you have people who don’t give a care of other people’s stuff and would move in and still destroy the place!

[@samorayee420]

thank you very much .well this is new house .unfortunately so many glass is broken . i wonder why this people destroying ? well i saw the photo and the owner was from India also the name is indian

[@leoliu721]

What is the address of this amazing house?

[@tyrice7226]

It's in Missisauga Ontario but I can't tell u where it's against the exploration code

[@michelletalisic9581]

alone? oh god! so scary.

[@timl3417]

People work really hard for their home to be nice. Then vandals do this to it. Wait until they have a nice home and someone dose that to them to their house, then they will see what it feels like. Those kinds of people will never know what it feels like to own a nice home. If they can`t have then no one can.
