I totally agree! It is too bad that the home won't be rehabilitated and fixed up. To me it actually looking like the place isn't in too bad a shape.

There is something about an abandoned home, that leaves me cold. Imagine the births, party's, cookouts, laughter, crying, weddings, divorces, fights, hugs, funerals, ....time is ticking away. It stops for no one . I've been seeing all the people I've known since birth, there one day, gone the next,..then another family moves in...and it's different now.No one wants to know their neighbors anymore.It's a different world.We had abandoned houses to play in when I was a kid.That was fun, now there are new homes where they once stood.

That really was a beautiful home. So sad to see it abandoned.

Nice kitchen, all 1950s original. I can take a guess at what happened to it. A developer brought a nice old house with a lot of land. He'll tear it down and replace it with 50 modern cheap crap homes, and make 10 or 20 million dollars of profit.

Thats a Thermador cooktop...started in 1947 and used primarily in homes from 1955 to 1965. If you look up Eichler homes, you will discover that Thermador cooktops and wall ovens were used in these high end homes that were built between 55 and 65. This home appears custom built and they spared no cost if they had Thermador appliances...but it gives a time frame. Thermador cooktops and wall ovens are still manufactured but they are far more expensive. At least this gives a better time frame. Shame this house is going to be destroyed. Someone built this house with their heart and intended to spend the rest of their lives there. Perhaps they did...

A new roof (shingles have been a nightmare, keep replacing and they keep coming off), plumbing work, lifted on one side (is sinking badly), electrical work (can't use the electrical outlets in the livingroom at all), flooring is horrible in the livingroom area as well (boards coming up, nails are popping through the carpet in places)...and this is just to name a few. When we bought it (brand new) none of these things were happening, or at least they weren't showing at the time. Everything i've mentioned here has been fixed, partially replaced or torn out and completely redone all together. A lot of money spent and nothing solved. Finally sold this place a few weeks ago and moving out, bought another house (older) but in far, far better shape than this one we sold.

I sometimes walk through homes in my neighborhood when they're under construction. The quality is a total joke. They just slap them together as quickly as they can and the only thing they're worried about regarding quality is making sure it doesn't fall down in one day. My parents' house is barely 10 years old and already has cracks in two places in the ceiling and several window sills are so badly warped that the paint is cracking on them. The window sills look like they're already 80 years old.

I always think of the personal histories that are contained inside the walls of these old abandoned homes. Like, who lived there, what was the family like, why did they move away, etc.

As a huge fan of mid-century homes, all I can say is what a gem! Awesome kitchen, bathroom and flooring. I wish more people respected original features and history enough to save a home like this. I am saddened. It's all about putting up as many cookie-cutter, granite filled homes that are practically stacked on top of one another. Thanks for the tour!

The right company could purchase, restore and sell and make a really good profit. A home like this is worth saving.

Deana, at the beginning of each episode, they showed a shot of the "Brady" house from the street and it was a real house on a real street, and real people lived there and still do. But everything after that establishing shot in the show was just a big set; all of the rooms, the garage, driveway, back yard (complete with astroturf for grass and Tiger's empty dog house), all fake.

What a beautiful old house! I would live in a house like that in a heartbeat. So retro old time cool. What a shame it was left for vandals and the wrecking ball...

A gorgeous home The color tile bath was everything The people who built it thought of everything The DR and LR built-in were exquisite

This house must've been so beautiful in its day...

What a beautiful home just left there to rot. That house had great bones and easily could have been restored. Sad to hear that they tore it down to build newer flimsier houses made of cheap materials that they'll charge 10 times the amount of what that house was worth even in it's better days.

Wow thank you for the tour and the memories. As you were walking through the house it just brought back all those memories of when I was a child and use to sit in front of my TV every day and watch The Brady Bunch. As you walked through each room I could remember what it looked like when I use to watch the show and boy I tell ya..it still looks the same now as it did then minus the damage, but it still reminded me of all those episodes they shot and filmed right there in that actual house. Amazing! Thanks again for the video and the memories. I loved it! 😊❤

So depressing. Such a beautiful home. All things considered this wasn't in such bad condition and for less that it will cost to tear it down and build a new house this one could be renovated. Thanks for documenting this for us. I love these old school style homes.

peter lloyd - Not really surprising, especially considering that most buildings built since the mid 1970s aren't made to last. I've done restoration work on Colonial and Victorian era houses - and prefer older houses due to superior construction methods and materials.

Its such a shame, the house still looks structurally sound, it could be saved.

I've always liked the sporty ranches, raised ranches, bi-levels and split levels! I grew up in a raised ranch and then my wife and I bought a ranch, and then a split level but unlike this one, ours was built in '76! There was no expense spared in building this house! I love the arched tunnel between the dining room and the living room! That allowed a thicker wall to house the fireplace and the four shelving units! Too bad that it was domoed to build a residential development! A real estate agency in our area buys run down ranches and their derivatives and renovates them and sells them for small profits!

All through the video I couldn’t help imagining the all house fixed up... those hedges in the front neatly trimmed.. every thing cleaned up and put back into order.. We tear down things to easily anymore.... I think of Stotesbury Mansion and it’s magnificence even after years of decay and vandalism... which by the way would have been a great subject matter for you Steve..

Thanks so much, Steve. It seems like a nice family lived there. I could feel the love. Seriously

Pretty decent? You must live in a gigantic, fancy mansion. This house was definitely beautiful in it's day.

Looks like beautiful stone work on the outside. If it is, I wonder if they will try to save any of it to re-use. Would be a waste, if not saved. However, it it's the slap it up on the side of the house with "false" stonework, it wouldn't matter. But I would think because of the quality of work on the inside, that too would be quality. Thanks for the tour, Steve!

COOL!!! Steady cam skills, nice speed panning, showed inside closets. Showed bathrooms (which are always interesting) gave number of bedrooms and organized tour. FIRE THE MAID!!! Did you see the GREASE on the cooktop and oven? WHOA!!! I like that they closed the toilet lid too.

What a dream home this one must have been - It's sad -So many people would like to fix it up and move in. Your filming is awesome - Thank you for sharing this one! I think the previous comments are right on - a beautiful home purchased by a developer who plans to make a bundle on it by building condensed housing or condos… at least that's what is happening in Ontario. Farms and country homes are fast disappearing from our landscape to make room for condensed housing and new highways.

Once developers decide to buy in an area any standing houses are usually toast. The house looks like a split level or back split and they were built in the 50's and 60's and still are. These people had money, so big house, lots of bedrooms, big kitchen. The kitchen and especially the baths do use the mid century style and tiles and fixtures. The built-ins are a different style and I like them too. Beautiful wood floors. I hope someone deconstucts and salvages at least part of it.

That is a nice house. The kitchen reminds me of my old kitchen in my old 1947 home before I remodeled it. The end of the counter top with the rounded off shelves was popular back then.

It really is shame that no one would have taken advantage of buying this type of home and fixing it up. This house is the perfect size and the features are those found in custom homes of that era. The fifties were great! Too bad modern builders do not feature custom touches like the built-in bookcases or custom appliances without paying extra! Classic custom homes were a commodity, for sure!

For some reason that kitchen reminds of the one in the original "Poltergeist" movie. I could picture Carol Ann sliding across the floor.

It certainly could be brought back to its glory days. It's a Chip and Joanna Gaines project. Lol!

Hey Steve, you should've checked out all those newspapers just to get a frame of reference for possibly how long it's been empty. To me, if it was built in the 5o's, it had some remodeling in the 70's and has been empty, maybe 20-25 years.
