Exploring a Remarkable 18 Year Old Abandoned Mansion!!

Three Sisters - Mansion Two
There was once a single family home that stood on this large piece of property, it was likely a ranch style bungalow built in the 60s with a very large backyard. I imagined it with many large older trees in a relatively peaceful neighbourhood.
Fast forward to 2004/05 when the property was bought and replaced with three large Mansions. The Mansions were lived in by the same extended family, the developers who bought the land and built the homes.
Today the houses sit awaiting demolition along with the neighbouring property. Unfortunately vandals have found the area and frequent the homes with the intention of destruction and I have seen how they have gradually become more and more destroyed over the last few months.
The buildings will be replaced with townhouses, up to 70 of them which will give a few more families a home in this ever rapidly growing region.
Today we will be exploring one of these large homes that was built in 2005. This particular home has the exact same layout as the first home I posted a few weeks ago with only a few minor changes. Let me know what you think of it in the comments below!

What a beautiful classy home. Tastefully done without too much extravagance. There should be a law against destroying such beauty all for someone’s greed. What a shame. Gorgeous staircase. Love the pattern on the railing of the little balcony. The size of the master closet was sick. Who could afford to fill it?! Can’t imagine having such a huge kitchen! Hope they cooked a lot. Basement quite roomy. I hate demolition and waste of precious resources. If someone doesn’t challenge these crazy developers it will soon be a world of only townhouses. Not much we can really do about it though. Thanks for the awesome tour. The footage of the outside of the house with snow on the trees was stunning!

[@StaticSpaces]

This home certainly had some nice features to it but you are right, i can't ever imagine having enough clothes to fill the large walk in closet. Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the comment!!

[@pattyosczepinski5074]

So true. What a shame

[@cherylpesutimassie5010]

@StaticSpaces I could fill the closet. I'm a shopaholic and love shoes, clothes, jewelry, and accessories. What a fun challenge. Anyone who can afford this house can afford to fill it. What shopping fun...thank you for the walk through...love it. Hugs from Arizona...:)

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh for sure, if you have the money you could definitely fill it but that's still a lot of stuff! Lol Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for the comment!!

[@kmfsinny8436]

I'm not a huge fan of modern mansions, but this house had some great aspects to it. The stairs, the fireplaces, the kitchen were all beautiful but there seemed to be so much wasted space. And to think that it's going to be torn down just makes me sick. Thank you James for another terrific explore!

[@StaticSpaces]

I'm not really a fan of modern mansions either but like you said, this really isn't your usual McMansion. It used some good quality materials and was well designed. Glad you enjoyed it KMF and thanks a lot for the comment!!

[@shannoncooper3298]

What a beautiful house,the floors are wonderful and the staircase wow I love that they put the laundry room upstairs where all the bedrooms are nice, and as always great photos 📸

[@StaticSpaces]

Yup, handy having the laundry room upstairs but surprisingly not all that common. Glad you enjoyed the video and photos Shannon and thank you very much for the comment!!

[@irenewatts2874]

Hi James Apparently you haven’t been back at this house. Ethan showed us how some stupid people went in there and vandalized this beautiful house. Those glass doors on both sides of the entrance way are broken and also the basement was flooded. All 3 of these beauties were all vandalized. It made me want to cry. 😢. Someone worked their ass off to get the money to buy these houses and some stupid idiots come along and ruin everything. Just 3 beautiful homes that people should be living in are going to be demolished. It’s a dirty shame that’s all I can say. Stay safe and well. Have a great rest of the week.😢

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh yes, i know what they look like now unfortunately...i went back to refilm all three of them (with Ethan) for a new video to come later on. From what I had heard i expected them to be far worse than they were. Still awful to see such vandalism though, it's disgusting! Thank you so much for the comment Irene!!

[@TheCoolDave]

With out the sump pumps running, the water will rise, in time, it would have flooded. I would bet that is reason for the basements flooding...

[@StaticSpaces]

Yes most houses will flood without a sum pump but some of them also have fail safes and can't flood...don't know why they aren't all built like that

[@orionwarren4244]

What we're witnessing is the great global consolidation of wealth. It's almost impossible to imagine 'developers' with enough money to buy up these multi million dollar properties, demolish the mansions upon them and then build 'hi density' dwellings in their place, yet here we are...☹

[@StaticSpaces]

I mean it could be but there are more factors at play here. In this area, we are running out of land but people still keep moving here so redevelopment has become the norm. I think the reason large homes are profitable to be replaced is because they often sit on larger parcels of land. Thank you very much for the comment!!

[@UlysseLife]

It’s so sad and such a waste of the money and resources put into these grand mansions.

[@StaticSpaces]

Agreed

[@marilynmaker5942]

HO-ly! Love the oak floors and the staircase! Beautiful house. Pretty disgusting that they are going to tear this down- so wasteful. That baggie of "pretzels" you saw in the bathroom are homemade Italian "Taralli"

Gosh ....what a waste !

[@robynelyse739]

All I can say is Wow ,definitely the wow factor when it comes to total viewing.I cant believe this house has been vacant and it is slated for elimination its maddening how these houses are built where money is obviously no problem and the waste in building supplies,etx I really love everything about it ,the decor and flooring is nice, too bad its alway about those builders and property appraisers who know what is in high demand and what generates the greatest dollar amount, I love the grand staircase as well and those high ceilings are immaculate, what a great tour my friend. BTw YES it does look a like the other mansion shown a few weeks back,

They can come tear down my tiny 5 BR/ 2B house and give me that one! Even the exterior was gorgeous! The only thing I would most likely change would be the colors, too bland for me. I love the jacuzzi tub. Some people just don’t realize the beauty that is around them! I understand the need for more housing, but to tear this beautiful house down is shameful.

[@StaticSpaces]

5 BR/2 B house is a pretty decent size, no need for anything larger than that. I agree about the bland colours, i get really sick of all the beiges i see these days. And yup, i could benefit from that jacuzzi tub right now lol Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for the comment KS!!

Hi James, again I have to say how sick it makes me seeing these McMansions on your channel I loved everything just wish it was my house I loved the bathrooms closets the French doors the fireplaces everything so sad the home is getting knocked down and replaced with townhouses what a shame. I think I told you before that I live in a three bedroom 37 year old modular home that was my parents home my sister and I inherited when both my parents died, we are trying to fix things up, but it is taking along time, plus keeping the yard up a lot of work. Will never sell the house or 4.5 acres we have. Thanks for the video. Love you

[@StaticSpaces]

It certainly is a lot of work maintaining a home and yard, especially one that big. But it certainly beats living in a tiny condo! Best of luck keeping up with the work around the house and thanks so much for the comment Barbara!!

[@cspat1]

I love the floors, I like the kitchen and the stair cases are nice. I like how the upper and lower levels are conveniently connected . The stairs look so nice. I really don’t like the French doors inside, Their style remind of hotel banquet rooms. I hate when the house is trashed this was not bad. That is the question, Why do people need or want to damage stuff ? What type of people do this? Thank you for showing something that I can dream I could live in .

That was quite the tour of a great house. So much room and the rooms were huge. So it’s being torn down for condos and the other 2 also. I wonder if they bulldoze them or do they remove like that beautiful flooring, the stair case, the doors, kitchen cabinets etc. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed that it hasn’t been destroyed by loser kids with nothing better to do.

[@StaticSpaces]

This one did get destroyed after my visit unfortunately but yes, the owners go through and salvage what they can before the demolition. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for the comment!!

[@tinichiatowner1241]

Amazing place. But did the family try to sell it? Seems in perfect shape.

The family that lives there were the developers of the new homes being built. So no they didn't try to sell it. Redevelopment takes place a lot here because we are running out of undeveloped land. Thanks very much for watching!!

Really, why didn't you like the bathrooms? Glad you enjoyed the rest of the house though!!

[@sashasue00]

@@StaticSpaces OK, here goes...From what I saw, at least 2 of the toilets are way too "boxed in" and one is practically In the shower. The double sinks (and I realize that if the house were lived in there would be "stuff" on the counter) reminds me of what I would expect to see in a public Ladies Room at a nice hotel. For such a large, beautiful home, I (if I were buying such a thing) would expect the bathrooms to be designed better! Almost feels like the bathrooms were an "afterthought."

[@StaticSpaces]

Ok that's fair. I'm not sure how I would feel about the boxed in toilets, i know I've seen worse and if it is very cramped it makes it difficult to do what you need to do! Lol The main ensuite was quite spacious though

Bonjour James ! Je vois que vous êtes passés, au Canada, à un stade supérieur du profit et de la destruction du paysage urbain . Ici, nous ne détruisons pas encore les constructions récentes, mais les grandes maisons bourgeoises du 19 ème siècle . D’horribles immeubles ,tous identiques ,y sont construits à la place . L’uniformisation du paysage ne fait que commencer !😢

[@StaticSpaces]

To be quite honest for the most part, I don't mind seeing modern homes like this being demolished...although these ones in particular were very well built. This sort of thing will continue and it is only going to get worse over the next several years as we have a population explosion in this area. Merci beaucoup d'avoir commenté Xavier!!

[@Xavierxavou]

@@StaticSpaces et merci beaucoup pour vos réponses ! Oui incroyable qu’une maison de cette qualité soit détruite ! Et quel volume !

Unfortunately, the ground is probably worth more than the house. These self designed homes usually aren’t easy to sell. I saw a lot of undesirable things in the kitchen and the big pillar in the middle of the living room was a little odd. Never design your own home. Just buy a luxury home with other similar luxury homes in the same development and you won’t be stuck with oddballs like this. This could’ve been sitting next to a car wash for all we know. Location is key not over embellished staircases.

[@StaticSpaces]

Land here is almost always worth more than the house and in some cases the land is worth the same with or without the house. It's pretty crazy what's going on in our real estate market these days and it doesn't benefit people that need a place to live at all. I think you are right about these custom homes, they are often very difficult to sell at the price point people want. With that said, the workmanship in these homes was actually extremely good even if some of the design choices weren't to most people's taste. Thank you very much for the comment!!
