Incredible 5,700 Sqft Custom House Built in 1980 with Features I have Never Seen Before!

[@robstephens]

Seems like a house this large would appeal to very few people in the 55 plus category.

[@archieolmstead6688]

Especially with all of the stairs.

[@saadgt2009]

@robstephens actually, I'm in my late 60s. I would live there in a heartbeat. 1) I have lots of house guests in the summer, with extended family, etc. The basement and upstairs areas would get kitchenettes, and I'd add a home elevator. The garage is meh, but with the right engineers and architects, much could be accomplished. As carbon footprints are a thing, I would try to add some green credentials to this beauty 😍

[@BellaMarie-10]

Most 55+ communities don't allow overnight guests under 55 and have rules not allowing extended stay for over 55. I knew people who couldn't let their kids or adult grandkids stay to help after a medical emergency because of the community rules and in trying to skirt them almost lost their home. ​@@saadgt2009

[@Daniela-Christianson]

Not true. It's very appealing to me. I've got a house even bigger than this. Most of us can still climb stairs 😂

[@emmas1082]

Someone in good health could get around this house easily for 30 years at least. Large houses keep people in shape because they do a lot of walking in them. Further, if you spend a lot of time inside, it’s nice to have plenty of rooms, especially if you had a big family and get a lot of visitors.

[@MsBlackhawk69]

Off the kitchen to the left was the butler's pantry. I think that KitchenAid appliance was an ice maker. This house is stunning. Love all the built-ins and stone work. Very similar to my parents old house.

[@minipandora22]

You’re absolutely correct

[@amandak7334]

Yes! Also rare in the 80’s

[@loriholman1459]

[@Kim-xf3nu]

[@LindaDiD]

Wonderful house! Can't imagine building such a big house in a 55 and older community?

[@Sassyglbeauty]

Makes me wonder if was always 55+

[@MsTasha217]

Yeah, they normally have only main four bedrooms… This is weird

[@jennifero7189]

I’m 56, and I LOVE this house. I wouldn’t change a thing

[@joywebster2678]

In the 70s my high school friends family, lived in a " swanky" house with many features like these and wood, not the height of ceilings, but they had 6 kids but it was multilevels with bedrooms and bathrooms tucked everywhere, and new then skylights, and then the backyard was 90% swimming pool. As teens we were so impressed by that " modern house then". Suburb of Toronto.

[@L70s]

That first bedroom off kitchen and butlers pantry was for the housekeeper/maid/footman...lol I expected Alice to pop out behind every door.

[@243wayne1]

Odd that she would have garage access connected to her bedroom.

[@antipatsy]

​@@243wayne1not really. That way they could come and go quietly.

[@heathereanes7224]

That's exactly what I thought when I seen the house...Brady bunch

[@markj4202]

I think this would be a tough sell in a >55 community. You have all those bedrooms and all that space but really wouldn't have a family to enjoy it. Being over 55 I'd have to pass on this house. Now, back when the kids were young I could've seen considering it.

[@kristabaxter6732]

The outside reminds me of the Brady house. I think the machine in the laundry room is actually a butlers pantry and an ice maker maybe?

[@drenettemann1814]

Love the spice cabinet

[@Daniela-Christianson]

Thank you for getting right inside the house and letting us see it without all the preamble!

[@investfourmore]

You're welcome!

[@zxtenn]

WOW, that's some seriously beautiful woodworking!!!! I can only imagine what the new build cost for a house like that would be? I assume a few million or more with that amazing craftsmanship!

[@chakrafitness]

I would think someone that's 55+ would want to downsize!! I can't imagine the cost to heat and cool it. Reno cost would be huge!!

[@FracturedOrigins]

It doesn't need much in renovations! Just wallpaper removal and take carpet out of the master bathroom !! It's gorgeous as is!!!

[@Matrixvsreality]

I would not change a thing

[@nancylee-l5h]

55 plus, it might be hard to get up those stairs.

[@Chewie316]

Dude, If I had that house I would only change what needed to but I'm keeping the look of the house. I'll say I'm in the age range but sadly not the financial range for such an old beauty. Whoever had it kept it extremely well.

[@bobcaygeon975]

Boogie Nights vibe. Burt lounging by the pool.

[@suzzane.notsusan.1078]

That is a butlers pantry not laundry room. Laundry room is at other end

[@sircampbell1249]

That maid room next to that...

[@laurelldockall2399]

I would love to live in that house. I actually wouldn’t change anything until it needed to be changed.

[@CraigFine]

This house feels like home to me, I grew up in the 70's and 80's and I love this house so much. I would leave southern CAL for this place. 😎

[@SherylVincenti]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this house!!! I would buy it in a heartbeat. And I would only make just a few changes, Like getting rid of that white carpet and add hardwood floors.

[@georgiasmith64]

1:10 (I can just imagine listening to Mozart calling out "Belvedere bring me my slippers" in a Price Phillip accent 😂)

[@investfourmore]

lol

[@marym9245]

Wow -so cool. I could even forgive the wallpaper. Very unique.

[@Tom-sg4iv]

Looks like an ice maker

[@investfourmore]

That could be....

[@sircampbell1249]

It is...

[@davidbandler]

4:24 Not a laundry room, but a Butler's Pantry. That's either a Trash Compactor or a Beverage Center missing its trays (I think that's a scoop at the top?) My grandparent's house down in the Springs had similar appliances when it was built in the early 90s. The adjoining room between the pantry and garage would have been the Butler's stay.

[@FracturedOrigins]

Love that seafoam toilet, bidet sink and tub !!!

[@allenelder4675]

Cool house, I liked almost everything except the wallpaper, also the paneling in the library is exactly like the paneling in my kitchen which was very popular in the 70s and 80s (I've never been fond of wood paneling for walls). A great master suite w. a cool bathroom and dressing area with mega closet space. Seems like lots of space for a couple, but at holiday season or summer vacation time: plenty of space for family and guests to come for a visit. Thanks for showing us this gem

[@amandak7334]

This house is incredible!!

[@raegolema]

I am OBSESSED with this house. I wonder if there are blueprints I could buy to build my own one day 🤔

[@saphire196]

I love this house so much!

[@timmy20]

Mark, this is by far one of the best videos of a house you've ever showed on your channel. I had to watch it several times on my brand new 43 inch TCL Qled TV, and I must say it is beautiful, I'm glad you filmed it in 4K, it gave me a chance to adjust my pictures, sound, etc... You should do all your videos in 4K. Again, one of the best videos you've ever done. Keep up the good work.

[@investfourmore]

Pretty much all of my videos are 4k. The only ones that aren't are when I use old footage or do a screen record.

[@christinekallmbah4685]

I love this house! Very , very little I would want to change. It’s 99% perfect for me except the stairs. I’m 54 and that’s a lot of stairs for me but this house is stunning!

[@investfourmore]

I agree. It's beautiful.

[@AuntieKim]

Nobody 55 years or older needs that much house without any kids to help fill it.

[@ktshorty4808]

A friend of mine has a townhome with that toaster!

[@williamj.dovejr.8613]

These are similar to the houses in the neighborhood in California that I lived in starting in 1978. I could live in that kind of house again.

[@investfourmore]

It is a cool style.

[@gregpendrey6711]

Totally

[@investfourmore]

Here was another cool house I saw a while back from the 70s! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hITRlIhtn8RraJY

[@kimcat7320]

This is a beautiful and unique home. I like the colors in all of the bathrooms. I would never want to be a member of an HOA. I don't want anyone telling me what I can and cannot do with my home and yard.

[@sapphire56695]

I really, really like this one!!! However, I would think people in the 55 plus age range are looking to downsize.

[@lindawilson4625]

My first thought-Designed for 55 and up, but loaded with stairs. Sigh. Beautiful house with LOTS of potential, but not really great for someone getting older if they want this to be their last home. The sunken dining spot is an ankle breaker/trip & fall hazard. Glad to hear they are considering selling outside that age group. LOL! We have that kind of spice cabinet in our kitchen. I really like it! Gorgeous home & yard with lots of room & storage! Thanks for sharing :-)

[@horsebytes]

4:30 Ice maker machine!!

[@annebebee6764]

the up stairs extra bath had Country Grey fixtures! I had them in the early 80's with grey tile.

[@243wayne1]

You STILL DO.

[@w111w126]

This place was probably 200K back then, if not a bit more. I spotted at least a couple nice Kohler Alterna faucets which are likely original to the build. Nice paneled fridge too.

[@melodyblackhall6702]

That staircase is heavenly!

[@kathyw7143]

WOW That is a cool house Mark. That staircase would have me sold.

[@investfourmore]

agreed!

[@swetlanaklatt]

Watching 2 of your videos... Figured out I like the 70/80s style! Now I can put my finger on what I had in mind

[@kerryperryman3025]

Love this house. It’s in such great shape

[@RspbyLmn]

There are some terms you need to learn if you are going to look informed in your business: butler's pantry, ice maker, the difference between attic storage and loft, and sunroom.

[@michellebrown7828]

It's an ice maker. Nice home great price.

[@gibsonguitarplayer]

Looks like the ET come home house. Very popular style in So Cal

[@TheTandumbs]

Wow I love it! Reminds me of the house I grew up in.

[@mokeimusic]

I have that upstairs grey sink in baby blue, saving it for when I remodel one of my apartments

[@iqbalahmed4424]

It's freaking beautiful 😍

[@melissastanford9648]

The appliance in the butler’s pantry could be an ice maker, but since it’s kind of near the laundry it might also be an autoclave. I think it’s more likely to be that than an ice maker. The ice would fall out given the door design.

[@leighchambers5052]

Lovely home! ❤

[@investfourmore]

It really is!

[@bekkibuenviaje9680]

Those rock walls were a thing in the early 80’s. My parents put one in in our little house. My mom was pregnant with my younger sister. It was summer and I swear they almost got a divorce over it.

[@adoptacat2877]

I love this house but I hate electric stove tops. And I would be scared living there as an older woman. I really would like to know about the very first owners and their life story. They had to be very wealthy people because that was not a cheap house to build. Thank you for showing it to us I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

[@christinecortese9973]

I was 28 in 1980 and no way in hell could I have afforded that house with the extremely high interest rates at the time. But the 80s did imprint on me. A very happy time for me. Still love all those colors and all that wood!

It's a butlers pantry with an ice maker. My question is what would a couple need a 5700 foot home for if they have no children?😮

[@oboewankenobo8675]

It is well cared for its age. A little dated maybe. My first thought during the tour was the same as yours. Why does an alone older couple need 5700 sq feet of living space especially with all the stairs?

[@buydirectusa4954]

Not bad. Outdated wallpaper and bathrooms. Nice pantry laundryroom combo. Not a fan of skylights, but that french style desk is something my wife would love. Im a fan of the bookcases. I like more land like 10 acres or more and garage too.

[@saadgt2009]

Stunning house, 😍 BTW, that was a DRY bar (unusual, considering how much was spent on everything else) in the basement. Like my parents' home, the ground floor bed/bath/den area was probably a master suite, while the upstairs split bath & bidet would have been for European guests. People comment they'd do away with the wallpaper but everything is in monotones, designed to showcase the inhabitants. With money, that garage could be expanded with lifts, no? Keep up these videos, please 😍🖖🙏

[@svenswwis436]

Upstairs is really nice!

[@james5460]

Definitely shouts upper-end "Colorado" to me. The vaulted ceilings, the stairs, the downstairs bedroom, the garage as the front focal point... Sure, these happen everywhere, but they are ubiquitous in CO. It is definitely way above the norm in terms of features - features I wouldn't need. A butler's pantry, wow. Downstairs bedroom is for the maid, I suppose. Not for me, too big, but I love how well it has been maintained and furnished.

[@wdgbirmingham2]

I would move in tomorrow, wouldn't change a thing, and would be happy as a clam.

[@andthe2become1flesh93]

Well maintained with few updates. I hope whomever buys it leaves its 1980 charm. I think it's pretty cool. 😍 However, even at my age, its too much house and too many stairs for me unless that HOA possibly includes housekeeping. 😉
