Forgotten Abandoned Greek Millionaires 6 MILLION DOLLAR 1970's Mansion *VINTAGE COLLECTIBLES FOUND*

Here sits a massive house on a large property that backs onto a large creek.
this house was built in 1973 by a very wealthy Greek family. they resided here until 2011 when they decided to move back to Greece. the house was for sale for over 7 years, but failed to sell. most likely due to the price.
I found this house over two years ago but it was all locked up. but this time i found a way inside!!

[@kenziee176]

This is SUCH a stereotypical 70s house and I absolutely love it. If I had the money, I would buy this place in a heartbeat because this place is just so amazing, especially the foyer. It has every aspect of my dream house and it’s sad that they’re planning on just tearing it down. Man I wish I was rich so I could afford to preserve theses houses 😭

I definitely love that house. You and your OCD with closing and locking doors and cabinets. Of course you just had to what's up guys even without a mirror lol. You're crazy lol. I've noticed videos ago, just haven't brought it up, but love how you change your vocabulary accordingly. If it's a '70s house, out of your mouth comes the groovy. You make me laugh with all you do and say. You're such a joy to watch and listen to with your tours of these fabulous houses, mansions, whatever. Don't change for anyone.

Our house was also built in 1973! And we are still in it! I was 24 and hubby 25. Things were good and we had it built. 1800 sq foot ranch, south Louisiana. Still in great condition as we always maintain and upgrade. Raised my 3 children in this house and we are still active and healthy and don’t plan on going anywhere except a lot of traveling. Well I travel, he stays home. :) So to me this house is not old! LOL

[@sallyannes.3566]

Great vintage home. Love it that you close doors and drawers, and turn off lights. Thank you for another terrific explore.

[@yourauntcindy]

You were raised right. You are consistently respectful of the properties and leave them the way you find them👍I was surprised you didn’t close the shoebox lid to the hokey cards since it was closed when you found it. Very groovy home and a shame it’s not being restored to its era. Look how mid-century modern has made a huge comeback. Most larger homes from that decade had maids quarters. That’s the best I have seen with the living area loft equipped with a statement fireplace. Great find! 👍Thanks for taking us along.

[@claire040776]

I definitely liked upstairs compared to downstairs. The ‘nanny’ or ‘maid’ apartment was way cool! You know you’ve made it if you have a nanny or maid apartment.

[@raygay3375]

Divarge Ajihar Exactly! It makes me so angry 😡 Land developers seem soulless.

[@UmmYeahOk]

Ray Gay society in general is soulless. Lots of crazy rich people having so much, but for some reason or another, abandoned their excess wealth. Clearly, not many people in Canada, or anywhere really, willing to pay CA$6 million for that. Not many willing to pay over one million. Developer comes along, offers half as much, so $3million, divide up the land into separate lots. Sell 50 $250k homes for $500,000, because for some reason, demand is willing to pay that. Make $12.5 million in profit, minus the initial 3, so $9.5million. Meanwhile, people who can’t afford $500k homes be like, “hey! I can’t afford to pay that much for so little. Why are they tearing down such architectural beauty? Not fair! I would have saved it!” To add to the soullesssness: Greedy developer wants to give back to the community. Wants to make affordable housing. So instead of 50 lots, they half each one, so 100 lots, with 100 houses, 4 floor plans to chose from for $250k. Tiny cookie cutter houses with no land. Meanwhile, citizens are in an uproar. It’s not fair that they paid so much money, only to have to live next to the riff raff who didn’t (anyone who can afford a brand new $250k house). They’re worried about crime, overcrowded schools, and traffic (ignoring the fact that they moved there themselves to what once was also a large multi million dollar estate, and contributed to the very thing they feared). This project now goes one of two ways. 1) citizens fight city hall, and win. I’ve seen it happen. It’s obnoxious, especially when they get on the council, but they can succeed. So no $250k housing. Demand now raises their own property values. Victory for them. Or 2) developer builds this housing, making only a pretty mild profit of a million or so, $250k homes are all bought up by people who already have homes, and immediately go back on the market as rentals. So people who “could” have to afforded to live there, still are stuck paying rent, and not building equity. After 5 years, buyers lists the rental home for sale at $500k, and it freaking sells!!!

Cool house, love the contemporary look, that front entry looks like it was renovated in the 80’s, probably most of the house, then they never did anything else. Would be a nice place for someone if they had the money for a new reno.Just a note, some of these houses makes me wonder if they just moved or did one of the owners die and they just left it as it was, so sad if that’s true..

this is really sad that people would just come in move out a house move out of a house and decide to tear it down because they want to build something bigger and better there this is a perfectly good structure house that hasn't been used in a while built in 1973 why can't you have a program out there for people that are homeless and on the streets with the coronavirus going on and help those people out cuz I'm sure somebody will be very grateful for this this home it could be their first home it could be their second home it could be some kind of shelter for people it could be a home for kids that are runaways I mean there's so much you could do with this house why tear it down and waste your money to do that when you could get some kind of use out of it that's what they should do with a lot of these places you're showing on the internet come on I mean we're at a time of crisis right now and you want to just tear it down really that's a waste of money in my opinion

[@themodsify]

They might want to make the house more efficient. As a contractor I like how people build and renovate, it helps the economy.

[@joneyrich834]

So true

[@lgblgb7489]

I think perhaps there were more bedrooms originally; located where what you refer to as a nanny suite we here in the states would more likely call an in-law suite (a little too generous for a nanny) - these serve as a more or less private apartment but the in-laws would still take their meals with the rest of the family. It looks like it was added on later as the bathroom and its fixtures are newer and the stonework on the fireplace does not match that of the rest of the house. Might also explain why those windows were just covered and not replaced with a solid wall. I love glass blocks and their history, from being used in sidewalks over subway lines to the upper part of factory walls to let light in. Antique glass blocks were made with manganese dioxide which, over many years of exposure to the sun’s UV rays turns a highly desirable shade of lavender - very sought after if genuine. There are a number of this style of house standing in various upscale neighborhoods near me - this particular one in a subdivision of an old Gatsby-era estate: goo.gl/maps/dzckaEcKAwJhYy6Y7
