I'm one of them. 7 interior doors, three exterior doors, and about 1/4 of the millwork would allow me to double the value of my home and allow me to have something for my retirement. I could work wonders with all of the kitchen cabinetry, too. My home is really the only investment I have. I stayed home and raised the kids and my ex-husband worked so I have no retirement funds to speak of. I told him at the time that I was putting my future in his hands and he said I would never have to worry about that. Until the younger woman came along.

I grew up in the 80s and love this house! I knew some wealthy people who had houses similar to this, brings back memories! For the record, I loooove longer explores. Most of my faves are 40 minutes, the longer the better if it's someplace really cool! Great job!

The problem with homelessness isn't a lack of buildings for them to live. There are plenty of empty buildings. The problem (especially in the US) is lack of funding for food, health care, care for the lodging, mental health care, clothing, jobs etc. Who would keep an eye on these homeless people if they were in this house? Who would feed them? Who would keep them safe? Who would tend to their health care and mental health needs? And most importantly, who would pay for this? As with most things, homelessness is a financial issue, not a "we don't have enough building to put these people in" issue. It's sadly much more complicated than that.

This was in style / High fashion back in the day! My stepsister and her husband had a house with six bedrooms and three bathrooms. A two story house. It was big like this but more open spaces. There was a game room with a giant pool table. The room was so big it had seating along the walls. The couch could’ve fit 20 people. And a wet bar. There was an ice machine with ice cubes! I love ice but it had those round ice cubes with a hole in the center. One time we counted the ceiling fans . There were 17 of them. Yep y’all 17😮 I’ll never forget the moment when I realized that I would never be this rich. I think that was about 13 years old. Her husband comes from old money. But it was sure a lot of fun to live there for a few years growing up. I am still feeling grateful for those moments of beauty. I’m poor but I’m so thankful that I had a chance to have those great memories. And my stepsister left him for a shoe salesman. And this story is true. He remarried lost his money in A L Williams Ponzi scheme. He came back to Texas stole a couple million dollars from his father while staying at his home. He escaped to Mexico. And his father refuses to press charges because that’s his son. I guess it just shows that people that have money Can be happy. But sometimes they’re not. If I ever get money I’m gonna be happy.

It's like a fool buying a brand new Ferrari and never considering the maintenance costs. Suddenly, $200,000 for a Ferrari doesn't seem like a lot when you burn up $4,000 a year in fuel, have to pay $200 for an oil change every 3-4 months and we're not even talking about the sky high insurance, tag and title for the car!

Such a gorgeous house! Flat roofs are definitely problematic for the leakage. I loved the office, loved the colours, loved the jacuzzi tub and the marble fireplaces. It really is a damn shame that the place couldn't have been salvaged and fixed up. I also loved all the natural light the place got. As for the length of the videos, I don't mind the longer video. Especially if the place is big, it's good to take your time and not run through the place. Not too slow, but not rushed.

I have a hunch that the water damage to the floor in the kitchen came from the skylight directly above where the water was...

I'm glad you gave a little bit of a back story. I watch a lot of these channels. I always want the story behind them.

Love.the longer videos, along of houses built by italians are built accommodate the family and the parents

Such a gorgeous house. I hope before it is demolished they pull out whatever is salvageable. Another great explore Ethan.

Doubt it. Salvaging costs money so apart from fixtures (which other people will pay for) it’s often not done on demos. The problem is there’s the business of costs, insurance/liability for contractors demoing as well as the property, etc, and it doesn’t make business sense. Another issue is installing used anything. Although I’m personally have nothing against second hand anything, many of my customers would never be accepting of ANYTHING used, no matter the condition.

With the current price of lumber, someone will salvage whatever wood they can I bet and make a good profit. I mean, lumber is in such demand since the pandemic.

That was another giant house ! The room with the chair in front of the fireplace had items that were burnt like maybe someone was hiding out and staying warm 🤔

That’s what I was thinking. And the torn up parquet floor was being used in the fireplace.

The blue sink, toilet & blue bathtub & shower definitely reminds me 80’s! Then the pink bathroom w/ lgt blue bedroom topped it off 🤣 80’s baby 🙋🏼‍♀️

Wow! Sad to think it will be demolished! I loved all the chandeliers as well! And the blue bathrooms 🚽! Growing up in a house that was made in in mid 70’s we had the old mauve coloured toilet, tub & sink! Apparently some of that retro coloured bathroom items are well sought after & not cheap (so I was told)! Another great video Ethan! See you in another one! Cheers 🍻🤩😃

This is probably my favorite house out of all the ones that you've done just because it is so unique! Still trying to binge watch all of your videos and catch up lol

Definitely one of the better 80’s houses you’ve explored ,especially the sunroom! I personally like the longer videos, not missing any of the fixtures or the weird wallpapers lol 😝

I'm new here, but I love long tours so I can really take in all the details. I like to imagine what I would do if I had the opportunity to renovate the property. Thanks for the video.

Just found your channel and I’m really enjoying your explores. I grew up in the 80’s- Gold hardware, florals, colored carpets & walls etc. Love it all!! Thanks so much for the nostalgia! xxoo Edit: Curious what state this is in. Looks like East Coast maybe?

I love those window shutters, and the staircases of that gorgeous home! So nice with beautiful, large rooms. Such a very unique home. I wish they could salvage them all instead of tearing them down. Will miss this lovely home for sure. Thanks for the cool video Ethan. Keep up the good work.

New here!! I absolutely love this house. Wonder how old the owners were. I'm in my 50's I would just want a simple condo...no maintenance (indoor or outdoor) and basically everything on one floor. Especially because I have a sister who's paralyzed and would definitely want everything convenient for when she came over/chose to live with me😊 Nice video☺️

The love the front door embossed flowers too!

Longer videos. The house is still in remarkable shape considering being abandoned for several years. Lots of salvageable stuff in this house.

Beautiful house and it’s such a shame. Great house thank you for the video.

This house is seriously jacked up. They've got a bit of the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's all one. Typical lottery winners. They build their dream home, then can't afford the bills and maintenance on it. Very sad.

I’m in to urban exploration videos on KZread and just discovered your site. You do a great job and seem very knowledgeable about these older homes.

Love your videos! Love the longer ones:)

I would honestly get lost,beautiful. Home.

Uber spacious house with tons of natural light. What a great combination, it's a shame the roof failed in places, flat roofs rarely are as durable as pitched roofs. House was gorgeous despite the decay and water damage. Thanks Ethan for the interesting tour. Stay safe

i am just amazed at the square footage of this mansion. It would take a team of staff to run the place for maintenance and upkeep. A beautiful place that has much that could be salvaged, just thinking about the cost of wood/lumber to day and compare all that went into this home. What a waste. Thanks Ethan for sharing some interesting homes.

Love this beautiful home!

You ask in this video if we like the 10/ 15 minute videos or the 20/30 minute video? I like the longer videos. I like when you take your time so we can see everything. Sometimes, I'm like wait what was that? Go back...!! lol!! 😀 I guess it's different seeing it in person compared to seeing the houses on video. Anyway, it's a big pretty house. It's ashame it wasn't designed to keep the roof from leaking. I hope they saved all the chandeliers before they tore it down. I assume they already have. Thank you Ethan again for sharing another great house with us. Have a great day. 👍🙂

Ethan you are my favorite explorer. I love the way you show everything. This is by far one of my favorite ones. Your right that was Robin egg blue . And thx for all the places you have taken me .Again thx from Fort Wayne,Indiana I'm retired now and i look forward to the time i spend traveling with you and your crew . What up guy's.

That sun room upstairs with the skylight and huge window is perfect as a reading area, especially when it’s raining.

My first thought! The smoke marks to the mantelpiece and hearth gave that away. It would be freezing in an empty unheated house. I don't think they would have stayed very long. Warmer in a hedgerow!

The etched glass at the front door was pretty, as were the chandeliers.

Thanks Ethan, for your video.. I can understand the feelings of disappointment you abhorred during the exploration of this fine ,splendid house, waiting to be either demolished or abandoned . My heart felt empathy to the lottery owner who couldn't afford to maintain it or just mismanaged his or her lottery monies without a lawyer, an accountant and financial advisor ,I guess. We are all curious as to why these top notched buildings are left to decay...So very sad. Wish I can afford a smaller one like this...The American Dreams ,wow...The American waste, wow.

I like the longer videos. I like not skipping detail.

Interesting beautiful, nicely presented, reverently treated by the presenter.
