Never-occupied '90s home for sale in St. George goes viral for being 'time capsule'
A home that recently went on the market is mystifying millions on TikTok, because of what’s inside the house - or rather, what was never in it. The house was built in 1998, but no one ever moved in.

On a car like that you'd have to change basically everything made of rubber from the tires to the smallest gasket, which would've dried out from disuse.

Reporter thinks they need to upgrade appliances. Appliances are: Programmable microwave with motorized turntable. Full-size multi-feature cooktop oven. Two-door full-size fridge with control/display panel, ice maker/crusher/dispenser and water dispenser. GE multi-feature dishwasher. Full size washer and dryer units. Large double-basin kitchen sink with a lever faucet. All of that was common in 90s-built homes. Also has a jacuzzi tub and a separate walk-in shower with sliding door, which weren't necessarily standard-issue but weren't at all uncommon.

The house was basically untouched since the 1980’s, never remodeled, funky architecture, old furniture, overgrown landscaping, but sat on almost an acre of land and had a breathtaking view from Century City to the Pacific ocean. Apparently, the owner lived in a luxury condo nearby, and was kind of a recluse according to his family. After he died, they put the house on the market for 23 million and it sold for 17 million.

'dystopia where hundreds of thousands are homeless but houses sit empty for 30 years anyways' is a better headline
I’m 40 and this is EXACTLY how my childhood home looked. It was lovely, beautiful, and simple. This is perfection.
that house was built the year i was born! dude i would love to live in there! like its just like my childhood home
I'm surprised it hasn't been broken into and devastated on the inside by teens or local homeless

See the security Gate: probably high end enough for security , and it's ALSO St George, where kids are respectful.

It was in a gated community with security. Plus lawn service and pest control which is why it was also never reclaimed by the elements.

My parent's home was identical, same flooring, cabinets, appliances, fireplace and carpet. I just sold it last year after mom passed. I helped them remodel it in 1998.
This tells you the owner must have been loaded with $$ - "Yeah, I bought a house and don't utilize it. Property taxes and HOA fees... ahh, just pocket money."

How tf is a 26 year-old mansion with nothing in it a “time capsule?”
WOW the 90s cascade in the 90s GE! Awesome nostalgia those appliances will last a good 35 or so years. When they were built correctly and made to last unlike anything made within the last decade.
The old appliances in everything else last longer than the new stuff
I don't see a time capsule but ok call it what ever you want to get that sale
Not having a home, I think it's beautiful!

I totally agree with you. I don't own a home either. Never could afford one. I wish it was my house too. Love it
Yeah I can't count the times I have bought a house and never used it. Lol.
Back story: 1) man that bought it was on the road alot 2) he did visit the property, but because he never got a chance to buy furniture for it he never stayed there rather at hotels nearby 3) he died 4) then it was put up on the market 5) now a new family lives there
That looks exactly like the first home my husband and I bought in 2002. It's awful to look at it now, but at the time we were young college graduates and thought the home was lovely.
I would take those appliances off their hands ❤

That's why you gotta find a brainwashed fool like Lauren to sell you brand new 90's appliances.
those appliances are likely MUCH better than any of the new ones, ESPECIALLY the fridge. Modern fridges are so bad there are lawsuits about it, but at my old house we had a fridge from 1995 that was in continuous use by previous owners and only JUST gave out last year.
Yet people have the nerve to complain about homeless people being the pronlem.
THAT HOME IS PROBABLY BETTER BUILT THEN ANY NEW HOME TODAY
What time capsule lol Those are my cabinets and everything else in my Lancaster ny new home lol Lol

UPgrades necessary - new roof - done. Appliances were probably better made than most are today - the fridge, washer and dryer are almost guaranteed to outlast one bought today. You could put in led bulbs if you want to replace the working incandecent bulbs. I've been living here 25 years and have replaced about 2 lightbulbs that burned out but since I had spare incandescents thats all I still have.

lol. I grew up in an area with either bad wiring and/or crap power company (constant power surges)... I moved out. My dad gave me a pack of incandescent bulbs and I thought, these are only going to last me a few months so I bought florescent bulbs to have on hand (The apartment did have a need for almost 20 bulbs). The incandescent ones lasted several years and I was surprised because we were always buying new bulbs growing up.
My dad still has a fridge like that one and it’s working great almost 30 years later

It seems that in the last 5 to 10 years appliances have taken a nosedive in reliability as manufacturers have gotten bought out by foreign countries and they have to make appliances more to satisfy government regulations than consumer preferences. I keep seeing stories of new appliances breaking after 6 months to a few years.
It must be a gated community not to have been vandalized.
Amazing a squatter didn't move in....
All the light bulbs will be hard to match. They literally don't make them like that anymore.

Yep, Lauren is either ignorant of appliance quality, brainwashed to keep up with the Kardashian's, or shilling for the appliance industry and pushing for mindless consumption cause it is her job to push that narrative for the advertisers
The place looks nice....a squatters dream paradise : )
It’s not uncommon in rich touristy areas. Supper rich people, organizations, foreigner governments. Buy property and never use it. Park city has units that no one ever uses. There are mostly empty luxury condo high rises in New York. Beach areas on any coast. All empty 99% of the time
Whats crazy is where i live you drive around and there are empty brand new homes that sit empty for years because people buy up property and triple the price.....
Imagine being so rich that you can just casually buy a house, pay taxes on it for decades, and never live in, sell, or rent it out.
Even the design is 90s

That tells you everything that you need to know about the housing market, you could afford a throwaway house in the 90s, today's youth won't be able to afford even one decent home to live in

Probably true but an inspector should have pointed that out before the time of the sale.
Our homeless population in America is over 11% and there are empty homes all over the country just like this. The fact there are people living on the street while this brand new house sat empty for over TWO DECADES so a bank could make a profit should enrage people.
My parents bought their house new in 96 and the appliances they bought with it are still going strong.
Back rooms vibes.
Dear Anchor Lady, it's REAL-TOR. Not REA-LA-TOR.
It's amazing how an owner will sit like a hen on a property for an indefinite amount of time without doing anything with it. Imagine the people that would be grateful to live there.
1998 is the year my mom died at 39 years old. Now I'm ten years older than she was then. Thanks for making me feel old.
I graduated highschool in 98, i haven't needed replacement parts yet
Acting like this isn’t what most apartment rentals still look like
Bought and paid for a brand new house but never spent money on furniture, and that was his excuse for not moving in? There has to be more to the story.
Upgrades? A microwave from the 90s is better than one now.
