What I like about older homes like this is that they took the time to make each room it's own. With newer designs it seems like the house is all one

[@googleaccount2637]

All painted white.

[@sweetteagrits3822]

@googleaccount2637 as a painting contractor I can confirm this! White w black, white on white!!!

[@12livah12]

You’re absolutely right!

[@monkeywkeys3916]

They call it "Open Concept" I call it cheaper & easier for the builder to construct. And more annoying for the home owner to create a unique environment and feel a sense of privacy from whatever.

[@dr.amyanna9235]

I really like your tour of this mansion! You did a GREAT JOB! You don’t whip the camera around and makes us sick! 😄You describe everything perfectly! Such a pleasure to hear the passion in your voice describing this wonderful mansion. Thank you!

[@ashleyb4168]

I can’t get over how beautiful that entry and staircase is. 💚

[@cmi7439]

A home should definitely reflect the style of the owner. Seeing unique wallpaper, flooring & color schemes add to an explore. It add an additional layer.

[@GoodKarma1020]

Canadian here 🇨🇦 - the family being a hockey family, had hockey colours in the basement- the team colours of the “Montreal Canadians” hockey ⛸️🏒🥅 team. The house definitely has mid century vibes and is very cool

[@sonjarussell2640]

Loved this one. One of my favorite abandoned homes ever. That wallpaper and carpet in master and curtains everywhere. Quality made in so many ways. Absolutely beautiful home! Thank you for sharing in such a lovely way.

[@kriskohnke3382]

That red living room would look so amazing in winter with a tree and Christmas decorations. ❤️ 🎄😍

[@janice4199]

I love these shows. I just wish whoever owns any of these houses would hire someone or let them live there for just taking care of the places instead of just letting all these beautiful places go to run. I would travel a long ways just to upkeep a home on these shows.

[@lisablackwelder7079]

Me too. Yes, I feel the same way.

[@karensharpe9949]

Beautiful house & i love when you & Ethan work together & Steve Ronin too

[@DonnaDishong]

I just love your videos of these wonderful abandoned places! You are so respectful of these properties. You make sure you cover everything of interests in each area. You are steady with filming so I don’t get sea sick! Lol! You are not afraid to ask questions about things you are uncertain about. Your descriptions of wallpaper patterns and textures is very thorough. You take us into the imaginative thoughts of what maybe took place in certain rooms. Absolutely informative and fascinating virtual tours of these once loved and useful properties! Thank you!

[@Nells-p5x]

What I don’t understand is how people can either afford to let places like this do nothing, or why families who don’t want it don’t give away/sell it before it becomes in such a bad state? I understand when there’s no-one to pass a house on to but these other 2 things I mentioned I just don’t understand why it has to become abandoned and ruins when it was once so beautiful ☹️ thank you BB❤️❤️

[@abellabarbie]

Agreed. Such a waste. I would adore living there and restoring it!

[@northwestkathleen1124]

I think in some places it has to do with inheritance taxes and the cost of renovation with todays prices and supply problems! Plus the cost of utilities to heat and cool these places!!

[@Nells-p5x]

@@northwestkathleen1124 yeah I think you’re right ☹️ so sad that it has to end up this way ❤️

He said at the beginning that it was sold to a developer. The family is no longer responsible for it.

I'm new to these sites, I love, love, love old abandoned homes/buildings, so this is right up my alley! I especially love following you & Ethan. I've tried Steve Ronin(spelling) & Bros of Decay, they're very good too, but LOVE you two!! Keep it up please! I'm living vicariously through you both😊

[@madamenightslayer8946]

What a beautiful house. I love the staircase and wallpaper. For me it's the little designs that makes me fall in love with a place.

[@cherylnelson5792]

This house was so nice. You can see how they had good design, decoration and it was a home.

[@brucebeamon5460]

LOVE the house ~ the VANDALISM is SICKENING I PREFER retro to renovations there’s generally more character than updated design and better craftsmanship !

[@ritasmith9553]

@ 05:40, surprised no one has made off with those door handles. Houses built in the 60's like that, often had a kitchen desk area, for things like recipes, cookbooks, Mom type needs for doing household things -- I 'd expect records of appliance purchases, directions, thank you notes, glue, scissors, tape, other light craft items one might use more often, along with that intercom. Hey! Send me that old washer and dryer! Those are GOOD ONES! Late 70's/early 80's, and last FOREVEVER! Look like Sears or Whirlpool, same. Those landings on the staircases? The grand children fit there NICELY! lol! And I'm pretty sure someone took the stair railings on purpose - probably to use again. The removal just looks way too neat. As in BOUGHT IT, not stole it, or a family member took it. Great explore Mr. B, great house!

[@TinaMcCash]

The Living room... it reminds me of my grandmas house when I was young.. They hard what would of been a high dollar home back then in Nebraska.. Just love it

[@barbarabowles1099]

THAT ONE ROOM THAT YOU THOUGHT MIGHT BE A KIDS ROOM, I BET THAT WAS THE LADY OF THE HOUSE 'S SEWING ROOM. I CAN JUST SEE MATERIAL AND YARN IN THE SHELFS . I WOULD LOVE A SAT UP LIKE THAT.

[@suzannereina4791]

That was incredibly retro to say the least. I think that the basement was for hanging out. I am sure that the house got a very loving family before but we all must go at some time. It is too bad that it was never developed. Thanks for the Canada series and can't wait to see more videos. Rest up!

[@lalani888ARTblue]

Looks like a very solid, well built home for sure. The pool could definitely be rescued. It would be beautiful to witness that as well as cleaning up the grounds. To take this house down would be insane. Just needs a few changes to freshen it up. I pray that whoever buys the property has some knowledge and appreciation for good craftsmanship and retro design. Awesome tour 🤗💌

[@snowwhitebabydoll76]

This house is to die for !! I usually like 1890s era but this house ❤❤❤That blue printed wallpaper in the foyer and next room is just gorgeous!! I love that blue spiral staircase!! Wow and wow!! The entertainment area is so cool how everything can be hidden. I love the kitchen. But that foyer area is just absolutely amazzzzzzzing! It almost gives off a sad creepy feel to this place, too bad no one can save it from doom 😔 3:21

[@TiaTeresa467]

Great exploration! The office gave us an amazing glimpse of historical layers. Typical 1990's print wallpaper peeling away to reveal a quintessential 1960's design.

[@judyworden582]

Wallpapers back in 60's had silver highlights and those in this video. The staircase is typical 60's also. Loving this house! Those are called wet-bar. I love this house so much 👏👏👏💯

[@ckswat77zz51]

Hi BB. I love this home. I saw it a few times but it never gets old. Classy home. The windows/sliders alone besides everything else, must have cost a fortune. Maybe the wood paneled room was a study. That red wallpaper is grass cloth I believe. Glad you had a good trip. Safe travels back to our beautiful 🇺🇸

[@suejohnson5545]

I ❤ the staircase and the funky wallpaper. I was born in the 60s, grew up in a trailer, then my dad built a house, which was worth 100,000. Had fancy curtains, shag carpet in my room and downstairs. I miss it. Had to sell it. Mom and dad divorced, mom couldn't afford to keep it.😢

[@John_Steiner]

My mom and dad divorced too, I was 7. I wish parents would stop to consider just how much a divorce affects the children. I thought my dad didn't want me anymore (as did my brother and sister) and I blamed myself. I've struggled with those feelings my entire life. Now, as an adult, I can see that it wasn't my fault. (Sorry I dumped that on you 😬.)

[@cathyfrederick5073]

The bedroom you loved the most reminds me of the girls room on the Brady Bunch. The beds are just like theirs...I had to laugh... love it!!

[@EricaAmerica97]

This is one of my favorites you have shown us! Super unique style and flow. All that wallpaper is awesome! The white that looked textured, I LOVED ❤ and i need a counter blender at my house 😊 Thanks so much for sharing this jewel!!

[@marcialee8446]

What a throwback to the 60s! The matching wallpaper and fabric was a thing. Those dining room drapes eould have cost thousands. The yellow room has very provincial french vibes sorta like in the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys. Alot of the upstairs is that way. Gorgeous home!

[@Bonnie-sg7ox]

My favorite thing is the staircase & entryway! So beautiful & well designed! I love the intire place and hate to see it all alone and empty.

[@justmejb9682]

My favorite rooms would be the room with the colorful cabinet spaces and futon bed because I would have made that my room even if it is small. The kitchen was awesome, and I would have turned that basement into a little apartment because it had a door leading to the outside, so I would have cleaned all that basement up and made it an apartment of its own. They could have made it less dark by making a bigger door to the outside somehow. The common thing in this whole house that is great is that textured wallpaper! I love it!! I wonder if the area with the red, white and blue couch could have been like a team meeting room because you said they owned various hockey teams, so maybe that room for their teams. to hold meetings. This is a beautiful place, and it is so sad that no one fixed it up and enjoyed it. Great find, BB!!! Thanks for showing us!

[@cindydutton9189]

Wallpaper is something that comes in style then goes out and back in again. I have all wood in most of my house. Walls, ceilings, floors everywhere. Different kinds going Different ways. Sounds strange but it works for me and my husband. We love it.

[@dorothypatterson132]

Amazing house. Love kitchen .Love wall paper in kitchen also all wall paper,except bedroom. I could Love to live in this house. The living room is great too .Enjoyed this thanks. Love the grounds.

[@irenesozanski3629]

The first area on the right of entrance is a formal living room - the 2nd room is a family room not a 2nd living room- entertainment center record music is a family room. The tile floor off of the kitchen could be use as pool table or card table , once again a family room!

[@angelinalah]

This is probably my favorite house I've seen you explore. It's very cool.

[@sandihoard3419]

I’m an older adult that grew up in the 1960s and graduated HS in the 1970s. This is/was a beautiful home. The bedroom with the orange and dark blue painted shelves and cubby doors and the orange carpet definitely has a “Hullabaloo” (late 1960s early 1970s rock and roll variety show) vibe to it. The bedroom with the green, white, pink, and red (or orange) plaid wallpaper on the walls and ceiling is a throw back to the late 1960s and early 1970s. Thanks for exploring this house (and others) so I and others can explore too while sitting and watching…

[@maryflaherty7096]

Amazing. Love this whole house. Kitchen is to die for, I think! Wallpapers. So much more. Thanks you!

This property could be saved👍🙏💕 Thank you Carter for your explores!!! Travel safe!!! Your dog will be sooo very happy to see you 👍🙏💕

[@Locustskies]

I love that plaid funhouse room😍 so very retro

[@winterprism9227]

I actually really liked the cabinetry in the kitchen. It looked like it would be magnetic and as well as washable so you could use dry erase markers on it... possibly. I've never seen a blender built in... I don't think I would end up liking that, as cool as it is... Aside from the kitchen cabinets, I think my favorite thing about this house was the blue/silver wallpaper throughout... SO pretty. I also really liked the blue and orange room... I liked how the light was square and kind of fit in with the angular feel of the room. The room itself was really cool too. The one that was so trippy, looks cool for someone else's house.. I think I would hate it after a while. I love your videos. I kind of wish you would focus a bit more on stuff IN cupboards and things. Sometimes that's where the coolest stuff is found.. In a house like this, seeing retro laundry soap packaging and stuff is really cool.

[@BerryBerry1465]

Agree, some of the kitchen corningware, pyrex bowls, etc...are vintage finds

[@s.c.7362]

Bidets are LIFE CHANGING. Best damn thing we ever bought. Nothing can ever compare to the clean you get from them. No wipes, no sprays, nothing. Thorough rinsing with warm water, being able to use a latex glove and lather up with perineal soap in either liquid or foam, then more thorough rinsing, even a bit of "internal" cleansing with the water jet spray....MAN!! And in the summertime when it's hot?!! It's the freakin BEST. I wash up every single time I go. I have a roll of paper towels hanging next to the throne for easy and sanitary drying off, a shelf with my soaps, powders and whatnot. I'm proudly freshly washed at all times! ❤❤❤ Glad to hear from someone else who knows and appreciates the value of bidets!! I can't believe they aren't standard in ALL American homes! I can't help but think of everyone else as walking around stinking and dirty. I truly don't understand people who say they won't use them. SMH 🤢🤢🤢🤮

[@jimmyparris9892]

Money spoils people

[@Cheetoluv]

Not just money, this younger generation seems to have no empathy or attachment. Things Handed down for generations they just don’t care. They don’t like to make time for their parents. So many parents say their children say we have our own lives, don’t have time, but the minute they need something or help they come calling.

[@janetgant5572]

Hey Big Bankz, this house is really nice. So sad it can’t be saved. Again I agree w/ you, I have so much color in my house. I have a Turquoise ceiling in my hallway , a huge sunset mural in my spare bedroom and sunflowers painted in my master bedroom with a blended white & mixed blue ceiling for the sky effect. This place looks a bit before it’s time for the 60s. And that kitchen is gorgeous! The couch & entertainment unit are so retro! The master was a bit disappointing to me considering the rest of the house but bathrooms are very nice! The last bedroom, believe it or not, reminds me of my bedroom growing up lol. I had hot pink shag carpet with same color curtains. Our spreads were bright pink, yellow, white and green flowers OMG! No wallpaper. We had wood paneling. But posters everywhere! The basement confused me a bit. The mirrors & the little individual counters almost like a salon. And I hope that wasn’t the guest bedroom bc I sure would not want to stay down there! JS. This video was a blast from the past! Loved it! Peace out ✌🏼

The writing on the wall at 28:28 is in Japanese. it says (ヤンデレ). It means someone who is so much in love with someone they become mentally ill. But its most likely there because it is used in anime/anime dating sims (I could be wrong though, as I'm a very new Japanese learner.)

I really do like this design of the inside of the house 😊

[@donnac.1609]

Back in the day .. draperies of silk with valance were very popular. Mirrors to add depth to the room. Curtains described more casual window covers... like what would go in a kitchen....family room. Usually the formal living room was in the front and sometimes a mire casual "family room" in the back of the house. Guests pretty much entertained in the formal living room. More casual living styles replaced this concept over the years...The wallpaper was great quality and still available today if you want to pay the extra cost.
