This is probably my favourite video by AD. The guy really loves his job and the tower itself with its history.

Thanks Scott for the tour. As a 65 y.o. man I've gone that tower hundreds and hundreds of time. You and your partner did an awesome in the restoration

The amount of detail that you put into this is really impressive. You kept and added a lot of thing that most people wouldn’t think of. I can’t imagine how much this build actually cost but I’m really curious lol. You guys did something very special here I hope I can see this in person someday.

That was interesting and quite educational... It's great when someone has researched and too restored a cherished Landsite and then receive a special tour, is the best... Thank You

THIS IS FABULOUS! And I love how it's not the typically sleek, cold homes that AD seems to show off. I'd love to refurb an old building and turn it into my home, so this his me right in the heart. Love it!

I didn't grow up along the beach aera, but I did grow up in the San Gabriel Valley(Pasadena) which is about 25 minutes due North, North West. With Los Angeles traffic its an hour+ easy. I remember this tower as a kid. When the older siblings took me to the beach with them back in the late 70s/early 80s. (Took a lot of pleading & crying but hey how else is the baby of the family gonna get to hang with the older ones) To me this tower always ment it was summertime in SoCal which also meant NO SCHOOL, FIREWORKS, BBQ, SUMMER NIGHTS AT A DODGER GAMES, CAMPOUTS IN THE BACKYARD, NIGHT SWIMMING SINCE WE HAD A POOL, All that good stuff... So thank you Scott Oslund for keeping the water tower alive because for me, its a reminder of how fun childhood can be, if one is lucky enough to have one nowadays......... Bolsa Chica Beach or Huntington Beach which is walking distance for those who aren't from SoCal, were a lot more fun since they have large size pits for bonfires & BBQ's at night. But there was always some group of wild teens who were learning how to drink....

I’ve always wondered if anyone lives in that tower whenever I was surfing at the sunset beach. It was my reference point for my location for the current drafting me down to the jetty. Also saw a 6ft shark 40 yards away from me there. Since then I’ve been surfing by the cliffs

Imagine the struggle getting the sofas up to the top floor 😂

Grew up in Sunset and Surfside from 1972- onward. Later we lived one block from this Tower at 26th. When I was little the school bus picked us up right in front of it. When we surfed it was the land marker to judge how far we drifted. Always loved it. Great friendships were made within a few blocks of it. Fights happened on the grass, we took dates to walk on the beach past the Water Tower. Meet me at the Water Tower is what we’d say. Thanks for the tour. Always wondered what it looked like inside. 😎

What a great tour! I love this. Kudos to Mr. Ostlund - Well-done!

Just to add to the history of this house, my father Robert Goldschmitt operated Design Drafting Service in Huntington Beach in the 1970’s. His office was on Warner Blvd. one day about 1977 a client came in and asked him design a house for the water tower. He told me that he thought the guy was nuts, but he did completely design a house for the water tower. I’m not sure if that design was used, but I remember seeing my father draw up the blue prints. Unfortunately my father passed away in 2009 and he never kept copies of his work. I certainly wish I had those original drawings. It’s great to see this landmark in all its glory.

For somebody who is not into architecture nor interior design like me, this is a great example of the effort that can be put into projects of such kind.

Dang, I can't believe they removed the fish tank in the stairwell and replaced it with rusted metal and gravel. It's one of my favorite memories of seeing it so many years ago. It's a heck of a lot darker inside too. Still iconic, though.

I've stood under that water tower when it wasn't a house I took pictures of it on 35mm film and still have them

To realize all the nostalgic thought that went into this renovation/remodel is a testament to the passion this man has and the twisted mind to create something so offbeat yet perfect.

What an incredible home. The walls, bathroom, & the rooms. Very nautical & industrial. The kitchen! It’s beautiful. Love love love the cabinets.

I’ve always passed this and never noticed that it was a Airbnb

A bit hokey, but in a charming way. Love it. Seems like a fun place to AirBnB.

I love it, a great old structure wonderfully repurposed and masterfully presented. Projects like this should serve as a model for how interesting old structures can be saved and given new lives.

Awe, this dude worked really hard on this place. You can tell it would be worth a vacation

Finally an interesting piece that really catches my attention and not some overpriced house for sale or some celebrity cribs(wanna be mtv)

Oh my God I love the train set up there. When we were in Germany our dad built a train set through the whole house my brother and I lloved it my mom not so much.lol

I'm glad old water towers are being converted into homes. What a good idea!👍👌👏

Every time I would be going through Sunset Beach, I've always thought that this is so cool and I always wanted a closer look. This is an amazing structure

So confused. I thought this was a history video-- this guy sure knows his history. Great home anyway!

It's a shame that they didn't hire a good interior designer because that's really a great setting

I love the historic references everywhere..his enthusiasm is really inspiring

Out of the whole house I admire your kitchen and the balcony. It’s nice and super chill.

I drive by there literally every other day?? IM SHOOOOK

In the intro he says "what kid doesn't love sleeping in a hidden room?" I imagine Josef Fritzl's daughter and grandchildren would object to that....

They put so much thought into the rebuild. I Freaking love it!

With the indoor waterfall and the outside camera pointing to the ocean, it's a rather interactive home. I usually dislike living spaces with a lot of wood finishes and wood tones, but the combination of all that is wood in this home works really well together. It is unique and I'd be interested in seeing a floor plan of the place.

I heard someone did this inWoodstock, Cape Town, South Africa too.
