This Abandoned Luxury House is Only 21 Years Old!!

[@Dan-p3m]

Great video presentation. I can confirm both houses were already demolished as of late last month.

[@StaticSpaces]

Sounds about right but I'm actually surprised it took that long, thought they were starting sooner than that. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!

[@carlashepherd9362]

Wow I love this house! Total shame they will be demolished! Glad you’re getting the opportunity to record them before demolition! 👍❤️❤️🤘

[@StaticSpaces]

Me too, it's good to have a record of these places. Thank you so much for your comment!!

Thank you for showing us these two homes! The second newer home was really beautiful!

No problem, I'm really glad you enjoyed them. Thanks a lot for your comment!!

I absolutely love the kitchen!!! The faucet by the stove was a "pot filler" so you don't have to carry a full pot from the sink to the stove. This home was pretty, but too massive and modern for my taste. It kills me to think that it was destroyed after only being around 20 years. I wonder if the sub basement was actually a shelter in place area. Terrific explore James!

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya someone else mentioned that about it being a pot filler, very handy to have. I agree with you, too modern and too big for me too. Thank you very much for your comment!!

You too Fawn!!

Thank you James 😁

[@KimmyLove6932]

This was an awesome explore. Its just sickening that this place is over 20 years old and getting demolished already eh. Amazing work as always. Big Hugs 😊😊.

[@StaticSpaces]

I just find it surprising that we have gotten to a point where this sort of thing is necessary. Also that doing something like is, is even financially viable. Thanks very much for your comment Kimmy!!

Hey James, Great explore. Sorry I missed the Premier on Friday.

Ugh, this high density housing boom is really maddening to see. It's happening more and more around where I live. I keep getting calls from people asking if I want to sell my home and I can't help but wonder if some are developers who have this same agenda in mind.

[@StaticSpaces]

I agree, I hate the high density, I just wish there was another solution to the problem. Honestly, if you are ever approached by a developer, might be worthwhile considering the offer...sometimes they will offer you double or more of the property value. I mean, as long as you don't mind moving that is! Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@marcodarko6941]

Not to be rude but I wouldn't encourage anyone to sell out. People need to stand their ground more and more and stop being weak and caving to these parasites and their invasions they are ushering in​, steamrolling people because they think they have the money/power to do it.@@StaticSpaces

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

@@StaticSpaces I think the thing that's most jarring for someone like me is seeing how similar the homes are to each other. Little to no variety in the building style or colour, etc. Just from a mental health point of view that has to be very depressing. We should include things like community gardens, and gathering spaces to the areas to somewhat make up for it. =/ I also have other thoughts about the reasoning of where this type of housing gets built, but it's more political and i feel like that would change the mood of the topic and i don't want to be 'that person', so i'll shush. 🤐

[@StaticSpaces]

Marco, I disagree....the only reason development companies exist is because there is demand. In fact, we have a huge problem here with homeless people because we don't have enough housing. The country's population is about 39 million and we brought in 1.3 million new people through immigration last year alone. If companies don't build the housing we need, who will? I can understand why you would feel the way you do but I think it might be a little misguided PS and you aren't being rude at all, I think a discussion about this sort of thing is good!

[@StaticSpaces]

Chilly, I agree, houses all look the same these days but I think that is more to do with economies of scale than anything else. It's just cheaper to build them that way

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

Thanks so much for another fun explore, James! 🙂 I'm so happy they're at least salvaging a lot more stuff from these places now (remember when they'd sit for 4 or more years and just rot/mold away?). I know from an explore perspective it was interesting, but a bit frustrating seeing it from an environmental one. Anyway, it was great to get together with you and the regulars and chat about the stuff in the home (the kitchen and those bathrooms were so beautiful!). Have a wonderful night!

[@StaticSpaces]

So there are two types of abandoned houses, developer owned and original owner owned. The developer ones usually tend to go quickly and don't sit abandoned for long and the family owned ones are the ones that can sometimes sit for years. But ya, if I found a house that was already gutted, it wouldn't really make for an interesting explore/video. Glad you enjoyed the live chat Harriet and thanks so much for your comment!!

[@Pam-cr3bp]

I always enjoy getting together with everyone and chatting about the video. I always feel like I’m in the house with friends ❤

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

@@StaticSpaces Who the hell is Harriet?! 😂And yeah, a completely empty place would be boring (but i really do hope it got much more empty after you left this one, because i hate when cool things get left behind only to get destroyed when the house gets torn down ☹).

You are welcome very much. I appreciate seeing the issues being brought to light, waking people up out there. For anyone in despair (because I see a few from time to time) in the comments don't get on your knees and take it.. stand up and speak out and don't ever give up.@@StaticSpaces edit: my comment may get censored/shadowbanned.. yt has a VERY nasty habit of trying to shut me down and or persuade me and many others out there away from the truth. VERY despicable people.

[@summe1972]

Everywhere is getting crowded, it seems. Here in Korea it's pretty rare to find any single-family homes, especially in the cities. There are a few really old ones in the cities, but for the most part if you want to find a single-family home you've got to go out to the countryside. Everything is multi-family homes, smaller apartment buildings, and massive forests of high rise complexes.

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh wow, I may visit there one day but I certainly wouldn't want to live there then. This is all relatively new here, I don't even know what a condo was like 20 years ago! Lol Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@gemmamatheson1675]

James,It was a bodyboard not a wakeboard

[@StaticSpaces]

Oh that makes sense, I guess wakeboards are sturdier so that you can stand on them? Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@mariajhanley5172]

Some of the aspects I really loved, like the floral sink & others, well a bit tacky even tho' it was probably state of the art when designed. If I had to choose between the 2 homes, I would pick this one with the intent to remodel. I loved the 70's tile in the other home but I would get tired of it quickly. Oh, that spigot over the range is to fill large stock pots with water so that you don't have to carry it from the sink to the stove. Italian & seafood chefs love it.

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, I mean I wouldn't want a sink like that in my home but I can appreciate the interesting design. I'm not sure why I didn't realise that about the pot filler tap, it seems so obvious now! 😆 I would choose the 70s house, I would really enjoy those bathrooms, although the red one was a bit much. Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@mariajhanley5172]

@@StaticSpaces I just want to thank you for documenting these two adjacent homes with (completely different vibes) now that they have been torn down. It's so important to document architectural and design history for future generations. Keep doing good work. You are appreciated.

Profound words, “we may wake up one and don’t even recognize where we live anymore”. It’s a shame that that beautiful home will be demolished. That’s a great house for sure.

Bonjour James , C’est la même chose en France , les belles maisons et leurs jardins sont détruites pour y construire des immeubles ! It’s a shame ! I have 18 lamp base in my little appartement ! 😂 I hope find 4 others in the flea market !! One lamp for every hour 😂 ! Merci beaucoup pour la visite !

[@StaticSpaces]

Really, I had no idea the same type of redevelopment was happening in France, maybe I should visit soon. Je pense que tu as besoin de 6 plus lamp si vous voulez avoir un par heure. Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire Xavier!!

Looks like the previous owners were murdered in that house

[@StaticSpaces]

What makes you say that?

[@TWTexasA1]

Pretty sure the black plastic is probably a moisture barrier..even that plastic sheeting like that is very expensive..

[@StaticSpaces]

Well the other plastic was the moisture barrier I thought? I think the black may have served a different purpose

[@Lit_Hot_takes]

(Excellent content) Just imagine in 10 years all these Stuckoboard apartments and houses that will go the same way, the quality of these buildings that are managed by developers and the most laughable thing is these townhouses are streets away more professionally built. I blame inflation and greed and apps.

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, they certainly aren't built for longevity, as soon as there is a minor water leak, these homes will basically just disintegrate. Thank you very much for your comment!!

[@SpokaneGirl85]

Tear down bigger homes, build smaller ones. Back in the days, they just build more houses.

[@StaticSpaces]

Thanks very much for watching!!

[@TWTexasA1]

It’s mind boggling someone would sell that house to be demolished….thats sad 👎🏼👎🏼

Ya, I mean they had a choice but they probably got paid really well for it. Thanks very much for your comments!!

[@sassysue6472]

How many people can afford the new townhouses? I sure couldn’t. Wall to wall people. That will get old-we all need a little space. Sure a beautiful home. So sad!

[@StaticSpaces]

IDK but they will be a lot cheaper than the houses that were there at least. I agree, some privacy would be nice! Thanks very much for your comment!!

#1 it's for adding water to spaghetti. Not sure who eats so much spaghetti that they need a faucet on the stove for it. #2 Never EVER attempt to put out a grease fire with water honey ❤

[@StaticSpaces]

Ya, so others have said, it's for adding water to a pot in general, so basically whenever you have to boil water...I can see that being useful. Oh very true, you definitely don't want to use water on a grease fire. Thanks very much for your comment!!

[@TWTexasA1]

Whats the alternative to brick ?

[@StaticSpaces]

I'm not sure I understand the question completely but there is no good alternative lol Everything else is usually just a facade that doesn't last long, stone, vinyl, stucco, aluminum is pretty good, it lasts long but isn't used very often anymore.

[@JamesBarry-j7m]

What's the typical when you're not allowed to build apartment buildings

[@StaticSpaces]

I think they would probably have trouble justifying building a condo here but the alternatives are stacked condos, townhomes or single family homes. In this case it's townhouses. Thanks a lot for your comment!!

The chinese are the problem. Ive seen them spying on me from inside my roku & theyre just planning something awful by buying all these houses.
