UNTOUCHED SINCE 1960 | A Look Inside An Incredible Abandoned 1960’s Time Capsule | NEVER LIVED IN?!?

[@CarolMortensen-e2b]

This house probable had kosher kitchens. This would include separate dishwashers and refrigerators to keep meat and dairy separate. Cool video.

[@missybecka4701]

Agree kosher Jewish kitchen.My grandpa had a horrible experience in a kosher kitchen as a child. He made up his mind to become a modern Jewish man.

[@KimIreland-y3u]

THE OBJECT IN THE DOORWAY IS A mezuzah is a small case affixed to the doorframe of each room in Jewish homes and workplaces which contains a tiny scroll of parchment inscribed with a prayer. It is customary for religious Jews to touch the mezuzah every time they pass through a door and kiss the fingers that touched it.

[@sunfish7021]

I have one in my home. 😊

[@SusanKGreen-zu3xb]

It is commanded in the Bible in Deuteronomy 6:4 and 11:13-21. It is a commandment to put one on the doorposts of the house.

[@angelarowe3472]

Along with my other comment, Ethan, I was gonna just let you know that as a person gets older, it gets harder and harder go up and down the stairs so they might’ve converted parts of the house out of necessity so that they wouldn’t have to go up and down the stairs so much or it’s a possibility too, that they had aging parents and design the house to where there would be two living quarters one downstairs and one upstairs just in my opinion, thanks for sharing please take care and be safe🫶🏻❤️🤠

[@sofiatrevino2751]

It is Jewish home and that picture is Israeli. What a gorgeous house. Thank you Ethan! I absolutely love how you appreciate the older homes. That’s why I watch your videos. God bless

[@MichaelCuffSr]

Love your videos! I'm 65 yr old retired construction worker. So like the old houses! 😊

[@crystalmcmahon302]

I agree with you Ethan it’s a shame that these older homes are gone. This home is gorgeous I hope they saved all of the furniture. Love the older homes that’s why I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing. Happy Thanksgiving stay safe 😊

[@marciapickens7444]

I agree with you, tearing it down IS a shame! Wow!

[@Gregm-l9r]

This custom designed mid century modern would have been a beautiful home in it's day . Not suprising that the original owners lived in this home for over 60 years . Very impressive explore Ethan .

[@MrJBest78]

It looks like it can still stand the test of time today. Such a beautiful home!

[@MsBlackhawk69]

That was amazing. The basement looked like a thrift/antique store. I sure hope they salvage and donate everything before demolishing. So much usable solid furniture and fixtures.

[@gailward7404]

I agree - my late mother (born in 1933) had her own antique shop from 1964 -2012...she would have loved going through all of those things-we were always at thrift/antique malls etc etc..

[@lisahunadi596]

Hi Ethan.. This is one of the best houses so far I have seen by you. The upstairs looks like it never was renovated from the 60's..very cool wallpaper and on the ceiling in some of the areas .that was the style.. I appreciate these type of homes . It appears the original owner passed away and the kids are selling the land.. Those baby carriages are vintage from the 60's..those are worth some money I am sure and some of the old style furniture that was left could be refurbished...totally enjoy your tours of abandon homes.. Here in the states there are alot of no trespassing signs on abandoned homes from what I have seen on you tube..anyway, thanks again!!

[@jillwheeler290]

The Silver Cross Pram or baby carriage as called here is from England. Those are high end prams used by the Royal Family, and other well to do Brits.

[@SallyChilvers]

Our pram was a Silver cross, aka, the Rolls Royce of prams and used by all four of us. My maternal grandmother bought it for my parents and mum passed it onto a friend when she stopped using it. We were a working class family, everyone had these prams as they were great not only for transporting the children, but great for shopping as they had a wire basket between the wheels and a deep space under the bed area of the pram (under the mattress), something I wished I had when had my daughter 😂

[@leechagirl5249]

Silver Cross Prams from that time frame range from $4000-$8000. I hope it wasn’t left in the house by the family when it was torn down.

[@Brinsanity]

This house was incredible! I love learning new things thru the comments too!

[@stephanieellison8913]

This house is totally beautiful and amazing. I love it. I love the old houses you do such a great job. Thank you.

I would not touch it I would live there! The place is absolutely gorgeous! 😍🥰

[@marneshiagilbert7860]

What a huge basement beautiful chandelier with the staircase this house just nice wow what a house

[@angelarowe3472]

Ethan, I really hope that someone came into the this home and took the rest of the antiques and furniture that I noticed that was left behind. That is a waste if they didn’t in my opinion, 😢. but it’s a beautiful home and as always it’s a shame that it’s going to get torn down. Thank you for sharing. Take care and be safe.🫶🏻❤️🤠

[@loriepostlewaite162]

I agree that was my thought as well

[@kathyl2620]

This house has the glitz and glam of Hollywood.

[@leanndilorenzo4687]

Those carriages in the cellar are fantastic

[@gaylehunter7744]

We called them Prams worth a lot of money now

[@gailward7404]

OMG this is one of my favorites of your 'finds'!!! I was born in 1960 so it really spoke to me...I also have a great love for the Jews. Absolutely love the foyer, the layout of the house, the wallpaper, fixers, moldings, etc etc..just LOVE this house minus the mold and flat roof!!! Can't believe they left all of that stuff behind. Thanks Ethan for a great find!!!!

[@kimberlybrennan4433]

That was beautiful! The interior designer did an awesome job. I really enjoyed this house. Thank you

[@pamelaspeake5458]

Seeing those Baby Strollers reminded me of the one my mother used for me in the 1980's times, and it was Silver Cross co. that made them, I think in that time they had gray and blue with white like you just seen.

[@gaylewilliamson9183]

the fisher Price toys are from the 70s I bouught the recird player and farm for my sons.They eere the sturdiest toys ever,.surely they eill sell these nice things ,antiques now. Lovely ,beautiful home.❤️🇺🇸👍

[@pmorales12345]

A massive basement & absolutely gorgeous home. If only the new buyer could see it's beauty & salvage it. Saddens me to know it will be demolished 😢. Thank You for sharing with us, I appreciate & enjoy all your videos.

[@CorinnaAney]

Thanks Ethan the house was so awesome, I especially loved the vintage wallpapers. I would live there !

[@reneemeehan9739]

The tv in the basement, is pronounced Zeenith. I laughed when you pronounced it like it’s spelled. It was a big name back in the day.

[@TheOnlyLacyLavender1]

I laughed too! My ex-husband and I worked at Zenith from the late 70s to the mid 80s before they closed their 2 TV cabinet production plants and moved to Mexico! I might've made that cabinet!

[@kathleen726]

He’s so young and doesn’t know about life before 2000!! Haha! Some of us “elders” have to explain these things to him!

Zenith is pronounced exactly as it is spelled. Google pronunciation and listen to voice.

Imagine opening those curtains by the front door exposing that beautiful staircase to whoever approached the entrance from the outside

[@tigre7739]

This is a Mid-Century Masterpiece!✨ It is a real original dream home to me. There is so much to love, I think my favorite feature is the foyer, with the huge window and the staircase, absolutely stunning!!🤩🤟✌️

[@craiggillett5985]

What a massive house. Untouched? It’s been well fondled 😉 all it needs is out door maintenance and a run thought updating the carpets and wall colours and you have a fantastic home. I’d buy and live in this.

[@ellennewth6305]

I love that this home is so spacious. Very cool to see all the vintage furniture, wallpaper, etc. Such a shame it has to be demolished. Thanks for sharing it with us, Ethan.

Only into back yard and kitchen, how could anyone tear this down😢

[@GothGuy885]

Shame they are taking it down.that was a NICE house thanks for posting 👍

[@Susie-n1f]

WOW, what a property! Love the pool area! The stairway and chandelier are beautiful. I agree the master was originally upstairs and with it being single family owned they made another one downstairs when the owner got up in age. I can't imagine looking out a window and still seeing parts of your home, that's when you know it's BIG! lol Wonderful and incredible explore. Thanks again Ethan!

[@clairefunnell8481]

What a house Ethan. Beautiful here. That basement is huge. Love the kitchen and the stairs, Master suite. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kathleen726]

What a very nice house! So many beautiful details and well maintained! Hard to tell what some of the rooms were but still very nice! Thank you Ethan for another find!

[@brendasue1591]

That Canadian accent is the best. I live near Amana Iowa, where there is an Amana factory. I had to giggle. It's pronounced A-man-a. Love watching your videos and what a gorgeous home. Those strollers? Daaaanggg

[@joanb3907]

I agree the upstairs master was the original. The downstairs was probably used in the later years as they got older and likely had trouble going up the stairs.It also could have been an in-law set up originally.

[@davinasquirrel7672]

I thought the same.

[@nancyterrywhittemore2015]

Thanks for this tour. House is amazing, for its age. I love the staircase and the carpeting on it.

[@bridgetraveler7700]

I remember seeing a house with a similar concept with the sunk in concreted room with the sump pump was located. The builders were very smart and though hey if the sump pump ever failed only the sunk in room would flood instead of the whole basement.

Wow Damn this house is gorgeuos . I would love to have a home like this well built. Thanks Ethan for this mind blowing explore it is incredible to see how big it really is.SPELLING.

[@cristinebarefield1074]

That dresser inside one of the main floor bedrooms was beautiful. And looks like it was in perfect condition.

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

As of this moment, i stopped the video while you were in the basement because i was curious about those things on the doorway too! I did a screenshot and they're mezuzah cases, and they 'contain a parchment scroll with verses from the Torah (specifically, Deuteronomy 6:4-9 and 11:13-21)'. They're put on doorframes of Jewish homes as a reminder of the presence of God and a symbol of Jewish identity. We both learned something new today! Now i'm going to finish watching. :)

Love the herringbone wood floors! The entry double doors with knobs in the center of the doors; very special. Loved the staircase too!

[@deniseh122]

Not usually a fan of mid-century houses/design but this was amazing! I’m thinking the original owner was an architect and designed this home for himself and family. I agree the upstairs master bedroom en-suite was the original and the lower one was used when the owner (s) became elderly and couldn’t climb stairs any longer. That basement was as interesting as the rest of the house!! Great house, Ethan.

[@TheOnlyLacyLavender1]

I might've made that Zenith TV cabinet at 30:42! I screenshot it and looked it up and we were making those on our production line in 1981! My ex-husband and I worked there in the late 70s to the mid 80s before they closed their 2 TV Cabinet production plants in Evansville, Indiana and moved to Mexico!

wow I would have fixed instead of destroying it loved this beautiful home. Thanks for sharing . ❤❤❤ stay safe love ya 😊

[@ivyseal5161]

Another home gone soon to be that home was absolutely beautiful and no words can express the indoor pool with built in spa the rooms were huge but in the 1960s all the rooms were huge that is why people can fit more furniture in and having two master bedrooms well its different and yet they are going to bulldoze it down to make a new mansion that would have nothing that the old 1960s mansion had Ethan I will tell you something the old homes and mansions may need a lot of work but they can out class of todays modern homes and mansions but Eathan thank you for showing you viewers that beautiful 1960s mansion as the saying goes they don't make old homes like that any more take care and see you in the next one

[@kathleenschaubhut4174]

A very nice home and it had some awesome wallpaper.

[@karrie1377]

Ethan i really love this house. Love its style and finishes and light fixtures and kitchen and staircase etc. i would much rather live here than in some hastily built mcmansion. It would be more economical to do some restoration work and a bit of updating. Some of the coolest bathrooms! Yes theyre a little outdated but who cares. I would try to leave them the way they are. Cool wallpapers. Wallpapers seem to stay nice for a long time. Some of those extra wallpaper rolls in the basement could perhaps be saved and used on accent walls etc. as a matter of fact there is so much to be saved throughout. It would be nice to fill a small warehouse with left behind items that could have another life. So many pieces of furniture etc that i would even like to buy. And it has been a dream of mine to be wealthy enough to purchase some of these homes to restore them and sell them to buyers that would appreciate and cherish them for another lifetime. Too much is lost when theyre destroyed. Who needs a larger house than this. Thank you ethan for sharing this really cool house. Its one i would like to imagine living in. Take care, be well, and stay safe! Oh and i love the pool but hate the mold. Wish it were easier to prevent and remediate.

That may be a kosher kitchen. That would be the reason for having two dishwashers.

This is definitely a home that a religious/Orthodox Jewish family lived in. There are a few things that gave that away to me immediately.

[@GhostofMrsMuir1443]

What a stunning backyard. Amazing. I truly hope someone doesn’t erect a monument to themselves but they probably will.

[@bonniekellyromeo9073]

Yes, I knew thar immediately when I saw the two dishwashers. Also, there were some Hebrew letters on the wall artwork.

[@chillysnowgirl8322]

Long story, but after a bit i came back to rewatch because it needed a 2nd viewing. At first i thought you were going too fast, but at your regular explore speed the explore would've been twice as long though i think it would've been justified this time (the house and their stuff was pretty cool). I DO think this house had a main floor (and likely basement) addition and my guess is all the carpeted area beyond the wood floor of the living room was new (plus the bathroom, walk in closet, and counter/sink area across from it) and the area of the basement with the low ceiling (btw, i was talking with American friends about CT money on Friday night 😂). I agree that basements with sump pumps should have that area lower (it's just common sense right?!). Trying to keep this short but i loved so much of this one--upstairs wallpapers, bathrooms, primary suite, the bubble window in the pool room (!), the kitchen (not the microwave location; short girl problem😄) and too much else to list. As for what you said at the end, it really is heartbreaking to see them go, but it's sadly not just a Toronto thing and the homes of this era are in danger in California too. Back in early November i was speaking with a woman from there who bought an MCM with her hubby (it's an account i follow; they're restoring EVERYTHING outside and in back to it's original based on vintage photos 🥰) who mentioned her neighbourhood is also losing older homes for the exact same reason. She's now trying to get her area declared an historic district before they're all gone.. hopefully with any luck it'll happen. Anyway, thank you so very much for this one, and no complaints at all from me that you took a little longer! Take care! 😊

[@karenmorris6503]

[@cathyorlowski1951]

Hey Ethan I love that breakfast nook off the kitchen! Wonderful laundry room That room by the pool area I think is for people who swam! The pool area is nice as heck! What a very nice older home! The drapes in that house are awesomely made! The furniture they left is also nice 😮 such a shame the house is being torn down and all that stuff in the basement 😮 those old baby strollers are worth a lot, they are considered antique!

[@paulinebuckles2310]

Really incredible home. Looks like they paid attention to details, light fixtures, wallpaper, I even liked the couch and furniture left behind. What a pity it has to be demolished.

[@CarolMortensen-e2b]

The basement bathroom was amazing. Thanks

[@ruthheisler4941]

The geometric foil wallpaper in the basement stairway was sooo amazing! Loved this house. That main floor master bedroom was huge. They probably remodeled it later, like you mentioned. The first blue baby carriage...I am pretty sure I saw a horror movie with one that looked like it. I was waiting for it to roll on its own and chase you around the basement! When you first hit it with your light, it looked so creepy. Thanks for the cool MCM home.

[@katikawakely4313]

I loved it! I can only hope and pray that the furniture and fittings that are left are salvaged. Also the wood, it would be in my opinion criminal to just bulldoze the lot. Thanks for this viseo, blast from the past.

[@princess_1989]

Wow what a nice house. I really like the layout.🙂 Thank you for all you do. 😊

[@AnneNicklay]

😯. Love this house! I would live here in a heartbeat - fix up the flat roof area and it looks good to go for years to come. Couple questions - were the kitchen windows original to the house? Also, in the upstairs master bedroom, was there a shower behind the bathroom door? I found your channel a couple of months ago. I love your explorations. The passion, respect, knowledge and empathy you bring is a breath of fresh air! Keep up the great work. I look forward to many adventures to come! 🥰

[@BrooklynJoys]

Read up on mezuzah…my dad always kissed his fingers and then touched the mezuzah when entering…. A mezuzah is a sacred Jewish object placed on the threshold into the home, which blesses and sanctifies their living space. A Mezuzah is a small, decorative case which Jewish households attach to the right doorframe of the entrance to their home. And in fact, the word 'mezuzah' means doorpost in Hebrew.
