Exploring a Millionaires ABANDONED 1980’s Party Mansion | FROZEN IN TIME

[@urbanbeachbum2148]

If I’m picturing this correctly, it looks like the two stories on the back of the house was an addition. It’s hard to follow this sprawling floor plan. It deserves a million dollar renovation instead of a generic 3 million dollar replacement. Thanks for the tour!

[@kimbibbs5700]

Agreed!!!

[@nancycasemann404]

There are so many lovely things that could be salvaged. Habitat for Humanity would love to get a lot of those items. French doors, wood trims and the lights... Love all the lights.. I'm coming back for the awesome red sink in the "butler's kitchen". That's what I'm calling the red kitchen. Love you. Thanks for all you do.

[@ckswat77zz51]

As soon as you said artist home, I figured it was this one. My favorite home. This place is gorgeous. I wouldn’t change anything unless it was necessary. Love the red & white kitchen, the sun rooms, that gorgeous ceiling of course. My dream home.

[@mikeluongo537]

You are getting very good w your descriptions!!!! Good Man.

[@AndreaCuster]

Too bad the paintings cant be saved. The artists name is actually Michael John Angel & he has his own art school in Italy!!!

[@taradecoste4788]

I wonder why he wouldn't put his whole name on it? Thanks for the info.

[@marleneppaul]

What a shame that place is being demolished. Very sad to see a unique place go to waste. Great video!

[@catsanchez5749]

I knew that house looked familiar, then when you showed the sinking floor/sunroom, THAT sealed it. I remember you going through this house before❤ Beautiful place and perfect 80s and MCM examples. Thank you Ethan, loved it AGAIN ❤

[@janetrathnau2645]

Absolutely beautiful. 7 bathrooms so many bedrooms and the wood ... just beautiful.

[@nocatfishnana1923]

It’s on its way down and it saddens me to still see so many items that can be salvaged. Appliances light fixtures and beautiful wood. I wonder why they didn’t do that? Thanks for sharing Ethan, your videos are always a treat! ☮️💟 Nana

[@danabowden4171]

You were saying for the sunroom looking area you thought it was or could be an add-on My in-law's house is pretty much design the same way with that style window and the interior the brick with an exterior window on the interior their sunroom was actually a swimming pool that opened up to the outside and then they did this killer edition and the swimming pool was on the outside but basically a lot of the features and that house remind me of their house from when they built it in the '60s changed it in the '70s to the '80s to what it looks like now I love your videos they're really spot on

[@joycest.martin3013]

God, I would move into that house, as is!! Ethan, I have watched you for quite awhile now, and you are my favorite abandoned house explorer!!! Good work, kiddo!!!

[@pbarangu]

Love how you pay attention to small details and appreciate mcm design. Shame this place is being demolished.

[@sharksport01]

What mcm design

[@EvvynMe]

​@@sharksport01 Mid-century modern design and architecture

[@sharksport01]

@@EvvynMe 1980s is not the middle of the century. 1940-1960 is, and that's pushing it.

[@lisadavis28]

@43:23 In the main sunroom, I like the pattern on the ceiling of the curved surface. That room is spectacular. I could see myself spending a good deal of time in that area.😊

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

I love this. Home. Thank you Ethan for showing it before. It looks like it would need some foundation work. Lots of HUGE rooms. I will shed a tear for it going away. God bless to you Ethan. Stay warm, healthy and safe. 🤗💛

[@tigre7739]

I don't know how I could have forgotten about this magnificent home! It is way up there, if not at the very top, of my list of favorites! I think the entire home is a total masterpiece, made up of so many beautiful pieces of architectural art, in addition to the literal works of art as well! It is truly stunning!🤩 ✨ The property is as amazing as well, with so many interesting aspects to it. This place was made for entertaining and enjoyable living or even as a serene retreat. It is truly sad this place will be wiped away! It would be an incredible dream to win a lottery of some sort, and have the opportunity to purchase and save it! Thanks for the incredible revisit to amazing place, one last time! ✌️

[@BrendaDawson56]

Yes, I remember this house well. I loved it! I can’t believe it’s being torn down. How sad. I guess it’s true what the say, “time marches on.” I’m sure the people that lived there very much enjoyed themselves. I know I would have 😊 Thanks for the re-tour!

[@jvjdrn]

10:18 this home was built in the hey day of home design and building. I bet this home had great bones, with hardwood 2x4s, etc. and great craftsmanship.

[@CorinnaAney]

Hi Ethan, thanks for showing this again it's one of favorite homes. IT'S so sad that to see this house is going to be torn down. 50:49

[@margaretyoder4019]

What an amazing home. Nice find. So sad. It’s going, the jauzi is a rare find. So much room. The land is beautiful with the pool. It has no bad things done to it, that’s rare. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your videos ❤❤

[@donnagagne3813]

I remember this place. Love it. It's huge. Love to you Ethan.

Hey Ethan .looking forward to this episode .the house looks so amazing ❤

[@TrashorTreasure-ie3sz]

Hey 👋 Ethan!!! Looking forward to seeing this house❤ I seen the dip as you went to the left in the sun room

[@lukelafitte5608]

I would love to hear more of the backstory of why these incredible homes are abandoned. It blows me away that these homes are left vacant after bankruptcy, death, legal disputes, high taxes, etc...????

[@Arlene-e2g]

They are left "abandoned" because the purchaser, normally a developer hasn't torn it down yet to build. Developers buy the land, not the building on the land. The developer purchased the house from the owner who moved. "Abandoned" as it's discribed alludes to the people who were living in the house left in the middle of the night. NO...they sold their property.

[@debbiejett7317]

Another great one, Ethan Minnie! I agree about the ceiling in the main sunroom. Gorgeous! All of the artwork was amazing 🤗♥️

[@janeblake5083]

What a great explore - Thank you It would be interesting to learn the backstory of this enormous party place! I am sorry that places like Habitat for Humanity can't use some of these super-expensive furnishings!

[@fawnfredenburg5361]

Great video Ethan and thank you for sharing it with us 👍❤️😎

[@macywesterham8909]

You are truly wonderful. Your movies bring me so much joy. I love to share your excitement over a grand old appliance. Thank you so much.

[@katlhp957]

Love this house! I really appreciate the outside view, it shows the house's true unique mid-century custom mansion beauty! Of course I understand why you wait until after the demo. What a beauty😍 My first thought was batting cage too! Take care, stay safe, keep urbexing & God bless! 💞 Kat

[@mikeluongo537]

the wood wall is called a Tambour finish..

[@deborahpisano59]

It seems uneasonable to think this house going to be diistroyed?! When do you see stone fireplaces and or built in ovens!

[@brandon1973brandon]

Ethan, thank you for the video of the front of the house. I think it means so much because it is the front of the house that sells it for people when they are buying. You look at the front of those mansions then want to see what is inside. Great job! These vids you have done recently are your best in my opinion. You are really nailing it!

[@gAIL-w7r]

I hope they salvage that beautiful art work in the foyer, shame and a waste if they don't. Love the vid!

[@Jackie_Who]

Wow!!! This place was something else!!!

Love these tours! It’s such a shame to destroy them !! Thanks for the tour!! 😊

[@RichieRouge206]

What a vast place. The 80s wall lights in the sunroom were just stunning. So gutted we are losing yer more history and proper quality in the name of ‘progress’. Great video Ethan

[@wildstrawberry111]

Great videos, great channel. Thanks for all your hard work😁

[@valbrooks6982]

This is the weirdest layout of a house I ever did see. It almost looks like it could’ve been converted into offices for something. I think that part you said they added on used to be curtains, it looks to me like it’s part of the awning from the outside, they were trying to hide when they added on the room.

[@karrie1377]

This unique and amazing house. Love the sunrooms. Love the sunken basement room with fireplace and bar. Who could ever forget the incredible entry room with the paintings and the “dome”. I lost count of bedrooms and bathrooms. That red sink in basement a bit of the unexpected. The backyard and pool and sitting area all so peaceful. I see no reason this house should be destroyed. It wouldn’t take too much to make it perfect again. The kitchen sunroom would have to be rebuilt stronger and better supported. I think the only way to stop this needless destruction would be a very large MegaMillions winning ticket enabling one to be the top bidder and then to restore. It would be amazing even to save one home in a lifetime. It saddens me that so few see the value in restoration vs demolition. Thanks Ethan for sharing this again just ahead of its untimely ending. Take care be well stay safe and warm!

[@reneeg4817]

The Blue bathroom is 70's. My friend in highschool had that type of bathroom. Good job Ethan another great find. Thank u.

[@LakeNipissing]

Thank you for this great video in HD .

[@jenniffer9034]

Hello Ethan! What a weird built house! I do like the hallway of closets! All houses need that space, so that was cool! The laundry kitchen combo was odd! I think that room was a gym and the long room next to it was a recreation room. The house is still in decent condition! That checkered bdrm was huge 👀 The foyer is beautiful! Sad they are tearing down these old homes

[@clubgus07]

thank you Ethan i can now have closure everything is now revealed. Its Party Mansion infact you could hold different parties in dozens of rooms upstairs, downstairs, outside in the gardens, on the pool deck, in the pool shed, above the hot spa, and now that 3 car garage with all the floor to ceiling windows reveals to me that they could have partied in there as-well with dozens of toilets i would be surprised. Some points i hazard a guess the sunroom upstairs was already built outside deck originally connected to the above the spa deck but they decided to enclose the deck overlooking the pool to make a sun room. below the sunroom area was an outside pool entertainment area because that brick is already featured on the exterior. They enclosed the outside pool entertainment area with windows and sliding doors. Unfortunately John angel in Spanish its Juan Un-hel dream is not someone eleses. Unfort the Master bedrooms either side on the kitchen side or on the other end dont have huge walkin ward robes thats unacceptable one could delete a bedroom to make a walkin. I have a sneaking suss that the checked bedroom with the jack n jill was two bedrooms made into a large one. The wood panel room at the front was a coat room for the parties, i cant work out the spa at the front door unless it was meant as a mud room for the owner Pooches to wash em. I bet the dip in the kitchen was due to being too much weight i bet the number of people swanning around that kitchen area you could have a kitchen servory on the large kitchen table the kitchen musta babe been different back then as the glass display shelves next to the microwave must have been a thoroughfare and with the renos of the 80s they closed the thougherfare with the glass cabinets and a serving counter thats something you see in a commercial kitchen ie the rectangle window cutout opposite the second set of stairs. That bottom kitchen was a party kitchen that counter space and cupboards a servery for downstairs cupboards full of plates and cups for days. But otherwise sad this one is going its got character its easy to delete the renovations and return it back to standards. Oh well such a waste.

You would think the cabinets above the kitchen island, finished in high gloss reminiscent of private jet cabinetry, would have been made with curved corners, a feature also seen on jets and yachts.

I wonder what they really find in their finds of doing abandoned homes i always wonder whats the best thing they ever find .Thank you for sharing i enjoy yours and another .Again thank you

It was a porch patio that was enclosed. Thats why it has outside windows. Lots of people just leave the windows versus closing them off. Saves money.

[@karenmorris6503]

loved seeing this home, thank you for the experience; place is so huge and sprawling, they probably had an accident trying to get inside to go; so they added the bathroom right beside the front door; plus guests could use the restroom upon entry; makes sense to me.

Tiny showers though , confusing hallways and connecting rooms. I do like the glass wall windows ( sun rooms )

[@rdred8693]

Thank you! I feel claustrophobic. It's a bad design. Class MCM had an open floor plan. I hate that they're tearing it down still

[@toffeeghirl3062]

⁠@@rdred8693I’m glad you both said this. The floor plan is bizarre. I hate the rooms off rooms and corridors and all the open areas. That said, it’s such a shame it’s being demolished.

[@lauriegermain9577]

I would love to get my hands on the paintings. I was thinking that down where the bar is, looks like it might have been an inside heated pool. Ive been in a house that had one. This house still has the 60's feel up to the 80's. Its gorgeous. Be safe

[@FranBrochu-y6i]

I enjoyed the video but, im thinking this is a big house with weird rooms its got alot of rooms that dont make sense it must cost a fortune to heat the place thank you❤

[@KAILABABEZ69]

Hi how are you gaining access to the property and house? Btw the garage and driveway reminds me of Sixteen Candles, the rich jock guy's house or parents house lol

[@SusanStrohl]

This is awesome ❤❤❤

[@happyshamrock73]

That sunken room with the bar would have made an awesome fish/terrarium room! And then tons of plants in the rooms around with all the windows.

Maybe the downstairs kitchen was the hired help quarters !

Thermo curtains divide the sun room from the house to help control a temperature differential. Might be installed to lower heating and cooling cost or to have a micro climate for plants.

THE PAINTINGS YOU SEE, WHERE DONE SPECIFICALLY FOR BOB ROSS. BY THE ARTIST WHO'S NAME IS ON THEM. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE TAKE THEM OFF OF THE WALL AND SAVE THEM FROM THE DEMOLITION. HIS STUDIO IS THE BUILDING IN THE BACK YARD TO THE RIGHT.

[@karenmorris6503]

I always wondered if you ever fell in love with one of the abandoned places...😊...to the point of wanting to take ownership. Which one was your favorite? ❤❤❤

[@susanturnbull4384]

Oh my, where to begin !! What was once likely a late 1950's to mid 1960s super cool ranch bungalow has been ruined with the most hideous 1980s reno gut job. This would have been an incredible mid century gem before the homeowner changed everything to modernize it for the 80's era. There has been so many additions and alterations to this place. You can see that the front door has been bumped out, extended- that allowed them to add that crazy bathroom with the jacuzzi tub in the entry (how weird !). The entry where the staircase is to the basement would have been part of the front hall/foyer. The dining room is on the rightside (off the kitchen as Ethan mentions), the living room is on the left of the front foyer, originally a centre hall plan layout. That entire back 1980's sunroom that spans across the back of the house upper and lower is all an addition, a bump out. Definitely no permits for that thing, that would never pass code or be allowed today !! The kitchen was expanded and they must have removed a wall and stole space from a bedroom to enlarge the kitchen, thats why there are heater vents in the middle of the floor. They obviously did not re-route the hvac system. Very poorly laid out, awkward floor plans when they changed everything from the original house. sad it is another beauty being destroyed, I would change this back to the original MCM ranch it once was if I had this place. Thanks for another great video Ethan !

[@SingingOwl1]

I do not understand just abandoning beautiful homes?!
