This Abandoned McMansion is Only 8 Years Old!!

The 8 Year Old Mansion
A little more than a decade ago there used to be a ranch home on this large property that looked much like its surrounding neighbours. It was bought and subdivided into two separate lots. In it's place two brand new custom McMansions were built, this particular house was lived in for only 8 years before the property was bought yet again with plans for demolition to build a brand new sprawling townhouse complex. The developers who own the property have been actively salvaging any and all materials worth keeping and donating them to charity before the remains of this abandoned mansion are demolished.
One of the former occupants of the home reached out to another explorer who posted their visit from the home. She said she lived there with her two brothers, sister and parents up until the house was sold. She also said the home while partially constructed in 2012 was not actually finished and lived in until 2013, making it a mere 8 years old before it's demolition!
Before this day I honestly never thought that I would ever explore such a modern house, nor did I ever think that such a new home would ever be demolished in the first place...but here we are!

What a colossal waste tearing down that gorgeous house!! The craftsmanship only enjoyed for a mere 8 years!! At the very least, it is preserved in your video!!

That's a big part of what drives me to document these places. Thanks for the comment!!

[@denisesmith2745]

Another home run, James! We love it! The kitchen is our favorite. Such gorgeous cabinets and granite. Plus… it has the butler’s pantry. Two dishwashers are becoming a sign of wealth. We adore the bear with the doll’s face. Those were popular over 50 years ago. The master bath is beautiful, too. We feel sorry for the house standing there in it’s glory to just be knocked down. Thank you, James!! We appreciate the house and you!! Love from the Ft Worth Smith twins

This house has a much better layout then it’s next door neighbour did. Too bad at 9 years of age it is getting demolished( oh wait it already has). But at least items were being salvaged. I truly hope the owners got a good sum of money for this. Oh yeah check out that “Manscapped” line. It is hilarious. Like always another great explore JH. Big Hugs 😊😊.

Hey SS. It makes you wonder if this family was wealthy when they got it & went broke. Or if they’re moving on up to a more expensive place. I agree with you on the post ( or whatever it’s called) wasn’t centered. Also the beautiful living room with the fireplace & built in-left side was wider then the right. Stuff like that bothers me if I was buying or building a home. It looked like the neighboring home was really close-if I had that kind of money to spend, I wouldn’t want that either. The staircase & high ceilings were really beautiful. Especially because it was in the bedrooms too. I take it the basement was never finished. I guess they didn’t mind-just put the kids down there with their toys & a tv. Take care

[@StaticSpaces]

Nah, there were nonfinancial problems with the family, the whole neighbourhood was bought for redevelopment. I don't think they really wanted to move out. It used to be one big lot with a ranch home that was subdivided i er a decade ago to build to larger homes. I don't think anyone wants to live close to their neighbours but unfortunately, that's the way the world is headed with land values the way they have become. Thanks for the comment CK!!

I have always wanted a butler's pantry in a home and that is perfect. I know a person who had two dishwashers - it was because he entertained a lot and didn't like dishes left in the sink, so he filled them both and ran them while the party was still going on. I'd rather have two ovens, but that's just me lol. As always, another terrific explore!

[@gentillydanny]

I think the exterior is just great. I like the fact that the windows, doors match and the order is pleasing without any overly ornate additions. It gives a vibe of the 1930's. Those windows are dramatic as all hell and the draperies enhance the effect. WOW. I can't say I care for glittery tile and that patternless marble (?) but the balance of light and dark wood is just right. As a rule I dislike spiral staircases but I'm with you on this one. It isn't the usual cramped corkscrew. It has a generous way round it's self and the surrounding walls lighten the whole thing. Those closets in the upper hallway are used for the linens, draperies, and small furniture and accessories that are for those rooms but are not being used at the moment. Very handy when you change draperies etc. and don't want to store long term. I really enjoyed the video. Well done.

[@StaticSpaces]

This one certainly had some nice elements to it and for the most part didn't seem like it was trying too hard, at least not on the inside. I'm with you though about the glittery tile work, not a fan. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment!!

[@jennyB_In_KC]

The room that you were in and didn’t know it’s purpose is/was a butler’s pantry. It would have been a common feature in much older “fine” homes up until the 1920’s. Originally, people didn’t have a kitchen attached to the home, by doing so, it kept a house cooler, reduced the risk of fire, not to mention keeping cooking smells from the main house. So, if there were ever a fire they wouldn’t lose their whole house and family heirlooms. Pantries are also called sculleries although that’s mostly reserved for a butler’s pantry with a sink. Also, the wine or spirits, silverware, linens, fine dishes, serving platters and such weren’t stored the in kitchen for fear of theft…they could be counted and polished then they were stored/locked in the pantry and the butler was the only one who had a key. Some butlers used to sleep in the pantry! Nowadays, people with great wealth have them for serving staff to put the last garnish on a plate or coffee makers to allow easier transport to the table things like that.

Hi James I’m so glad you posted a video today. This house is a real BEAUTY. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. No paint peel, no falling ceilings. It is a good thing that they are salvaging a good number of items. What is wrong with these people? They have a perfectly good home and they abandon it for what reason. They are never satisfied with what they have. That kitchen is magnificent and those tall windows. I wouldn’t want to wash them. LOL. All of the bathrooms were cool too. The basement was a bit creepy. All that insulation and no walls to cover it. It’s a really coo mansion. I wouldn’t mind living there. As I said earlier I was glad you posted today because I am at home in some pain from a tooth I am having pulled on Tuesday so thank you for lifting my spirits. James this is a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ video as always. Love the outtakes. See you in the next Static Space till then stay safe and well.

[@StaticSpaces]

It hadn't been abandoned all that long so there was really no time for the paint to peel. I think the basement was left unfinished to help to cut costs, it's fairly common in newer homes i think. Definitely would have been a nice place but to big, too much cleaning to do it all yourself! Hope everything goes well with the tooth extraction! Thanks for your support!!

I think it depends where you live but to build it here, it wouldn't surprise me if it cost over a $1 million. Maintenance is high for these types of houses, stucco always needs work.

But a 10 year old house? only here in Australia if the house was flooded by the uprising river will it then be gutted and salvage, a house fire perhaps a 10 year old house might get bulldozed if the structural integrity is compromised. But in Toronto Canada all i see is a nice house that can be gutted if they wish and internal layout be redesigned they can start using terracotta roof shingles as they call it, theres plenty of terracotta roof tiles up the road that come from South America like Columbia they are more durable and want let the snow in or ceiling to collapse, and lastly i dont recommend a flat roof in Canada without proper drainage all those mansions with flat roofs if the the roof was slanted the snow water would not “pool” and rot the wooden shingles.

It's insane, but Toronto is truly an incredible city....so much wealth, spotlessly clean, very little crime. The flip side? Traffic is a nightmare. Public transit cant be built fast enough.

This house so killer. Everything is beautiful and perfect.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the comment!!

They are crazy to demolish it. What are they thinking????? Money talks! 💰 too pretty at least they are trying to save some things! Huge shame. It was so PRETTY!

[@StaticSpaces]

Well the whole neighbourhood is being replaced by higher density housing. So it's more of a demand issue than a money issue. Thanks for the comment!!

[@susanbrazalovics3741]

@@StaticSpaces yeah I understand but not even 10 years old. Lots of money for the house and being torn down. It's sad 😔

[@StaticSpaces]

It is definitely not a usual situation, that's for sure!

[@susanbrazalovics3741]

@@StaticSpaces I agree 👍 💯

[@dreiraben3533]

Why did they left it abandoned?

[@StaticSpaces]

The whole neighbourhood was bought for redevelopment into higher density housing. Thanks for the comment!!

[@genejane6315]

Why ddnt sell it 🥺😭

[@StaticSpaces]

The whole neighbourhood was sold, piece by piece over a period of time for redevelopment.

London, England? Thanks for the comment!!

[@wendyshort8353]

I didn't catch the city location. Are you allowed to tell?

[@StaticSpaces]

I generally don't share those sorts of details in order to protected the locations. Thanks for the comment!!

[@HenryNeville]

It might have been located near Guelph (just judging by the University of Guelph Gryphons logo at 23:08), but I am not 100% certain on that.

[@wendyshort8353]

@@HenryNeville Thank you for that information.

It's racist to admit it but all this construction of high-density housing is fueled by the immigration going on today (from the East). And why wouldn't they immigrate to Canada where they get first choice to jobs, education and everything, before the host population. And the host pop dare not complain, or they're racist. This is greater and faster demographic change than ever seen in history across the world. Soon, my friend, you will be a minority in your own country. Do you think there will be affirmative action for your kids?

[@paulmezhir8354]

Toronto wouldn't be the city it is without immigrants....Canada wouldnt be the same.

[@joshuaisrael9554]

Hey there , why are they demolishing this house.

[@StaticSpaces]

The area was being redeveloped into townhouses. Thanks for watching!!

[@choosewisely6994]

You know the world and value of things is crumbling when a beautiful house like this is just easily going to be demolished for more than likely cookie cutter town homes that are cheaply built and not beautiful like this grand home. This is worrisome that apparently in our world we are in a housing crisis situation. I guess soon nobody will have independent homes with land and much less alot of acres with it. We all going to be like China and alot of other places. Just tons of people in cookie cutter boring small everything looks alike living units cramped up together. No individualism just robots and poorly made boring units in my opinion called homes. I hope I am wrong. Kids don't have real yards to play in or pets to play in. This house is beautiful its ridiculous what is happening . All about how many people can we stick in a tight location together and of course money is involved I am sure. To destroy all the expensive things in this house and it's beauty is shameful in my opinion. We are losing what is value and being a individual with different taste in our living conditions. I hate Cookie cutter anything. You can't stop the system unfortunately.

[@StaticSpaces]

They actually donated most of the materials in this home. But I agree with you about having to live in smaller and smaller places as time goes on, it's very depressing 😆 Either way, glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks very much for your comment too!!

[@choosewisely6994]

@@StaticSpaces Happy that they did donate things from that beautiful place. You are probably saying things in your video I am missing sometimes, I apologize for that. You probably have in in the information on the video as well lol. I am usually multitasking and apparently missing things so I will do better. 🙂 Really like your personality and videos, pictures like I have said and you make me laugh as well you can be funny 🤣. I love that. The funniest was the dramatic scary music you had playing when you dragged the BODY in the house 😂😆😆. Hilarious I will try not to write novels each comment I write lol. I just go in every time don't I?? 😃👀 I can get mad about things with these houses 😬 it's not that serious I guess. Take care

[@StaticSpaces]

Glad I can make you laugh as well and also very happy to hear you enjoyed the intro to the body house! 😂

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

Waow. What a place. Terrible it’s being torn down when there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just don’t understand. My home means more to me than any amount of money you can offer me for it to destroy it. You are brave for going up that staircase with no bannister on the right hand side. Yikes 😬😂 I love your honesty when you don’t like something 😂 The work, time and money that I can only imagine that goes into building these places for it to be torn down is a sin (in my opinion lol)

[@StaticSpaces]

It's definitely a unique situation but at least they were salvaging the materials. Thanks for the support Stephanie!! Wondered why your original comment disappeared. 😆

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

You saw that?. Aww, man 🤦🏼‍♀️ I thought I had deleted it before you saw it. It was late and I thought it maybe wasn’t very nice to say “short and sweet comment”. Forgive me 😂 I was sleep deprived and ended up not getting to sleep until about 4am my time because of a bit of a storm going on outside. Anyway. Not your problem. Haha. Ended up having more to say anyway, which was the other reason I deleted the other one 🙂 I prefer the older homes that have a bit of character and I think a place this size is unnecessary. I read the description (as always). Incredible.

[@StaticSpaces]

Deleted comments still sort of show up after deletion but it doesn't show the whole thing. So i didn't get to read it all but it didn't seem like anything you needed to apologise for!

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

@@StaticSpaces honestly can’t remember it word for word but it was very short anyway and for some reason I thought that saying “short and sweet comment” wasn’t that nice for some reason 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I am an over thinker and scared of offending people haha. Anyway. See ya next time!

Thanks for the comment!!

[@jenn795.]

There's mice in there because no one lives there and there's two dishwashers in every mansion

[@StaticSpaces]

I think the mice were likely there before the owners moved out, i don't think the new owners would care since it was being demolished. That's the first time i have noticed two dishwashers before and i have been inside a number of mansions before. Guess now I will pay closer attention. Thanks for the comment!!

Ya, that's a fair comment, i was just so amazed by the fact a house like this was getting demolished. You should try some of the other videos, i promise my narration isn't like that in most of them, especially the newer ones . Thank you very much for the comment!!
