Sitting off a Major road sit this beautiful Abandoned Mansion! Built-in 1975, this home sits on roughly 50 acres of land and is currently valued at $13,000,00. The home itself is not worth this but the land it sits on is prime for redevelopment! The home seems to have had an extension at some point in its life. It also seems that multiple families were living in this home or multiple generations of the same family were living together. The home features beautiful flooring, doors and even has 2 balconies!
Unfortunately, this home has had quite a rough life since it was abandoned. Flooding in the basement reached about 4 feet deep and caused extreme water and mold damage in the basement sealing the home's fate of being demolished!

Like most of your videos all I can think is "What a shame!" that house is so nice and to just sit there rotting is incredibly sad. Keep up the good content!

Definitely multiple families or rented out or Air B&B for sure. Saw this house on Ethans' channel when it was in great shape; no decay, no open doors or broken windows, no dead animals, AND no flooded basement! WOW, what a change! Thanks for sharing it! Like going back to visit an old friend, only to find out they are down on their luck! Take care.👍✌😁❤🇺🇸

The "intercom" was also for playing radio, tapes, or selected music that could be heard in any area around the house with a single intercom that could be turned on and off. Also could be used to communicate from one part of the house today, similar to what we now do with Alexa or Amazon pods in different rooms of our homes today.

I'm guessing the highway was not there when they built the house. If I was rich $13,000,000 is pretty steep, but if they did all needed repairs and redid the entire basement back the way it was. Yeah, I'd buy it and live there too, might redo the main kitchen and the master bathroom. Add so color to the walls and keep everything else as is. I don't care to much for the modern look taste of these days. Thanks for the awesome video. God bless you.

Yes, that would be an amazing house to recondition to its former glory. Ideally a year or two ago might have been better before it started getting vandalized and decaying. I'm sure a property like that has a negotiable price, as it's clearly not for everyone. The location in front of the busy highway is a bit of a bummer, but new triple pane windows would cut down on the noise. I also like older houses, anything from the 1950s and 1960s, and also the 1970s into the early 1980s like this amazing house, looks like it was built with no expense spared.

Thankyou Noah for revisiting this gem Donatellos Mansion. Gee wizz that road noise would annoy anybody even a mother in law, that place was too mazey perhaps as you say split up for different families to live. That outside front basement entrance is a eyesore theres just too many modifications and bathrooms in this one to even justify spending money. The sunrise side and the sunset side would be great during winters, enclosing the balconies created an outdoor / indoorsy feel and sort of reduced the road noise sad to see this one get demod..

@reallyrandomrides1296 2 жыл бұрын

I can just picture some large, wealthy (possibly Italian) family living there in the late 1970s or early 1980s when it was all new and sparkly clean. Built with no expense spared and all of the latest technology of the day. Imagine pulling up in a period-correct Mercedes, Lincoln or Cadillac, with a Ford Country Squire station wagon parked outside, and maybe a late 1970s Corolla and full size pickup for the kids and housekeeper or grandparents. Come in, turn on the TV and watch "Dallas" or kick back and listen to a record like "Funkytown " by Lipps, Inc. Cook up a feast in the kitchen with the harvest gold appliances. Ahhh... life was good! :)

Beautiful exterior but such strange interior. I wonder if what you said was extension built was just the house being divided up into sections. Didn’t seem like a family home more like a strange duplex.

Looks like a large multi-generational family lived there. Probably started out in the late 1970s with several small children, the parents, grandparents and maybe even some aunts/uncles.

Looks like the whole house was built at once then the owner divided it up into two sections which explains the two front doors and the wood panelling installed next to the railing. That weird area on the north side of the house which was accessed by a smaller staircase looks like spaces for offices to operate an at-home business.

@LeTrashPanda 2 жыл бұрын

The kitchen appliances are fairly new (especially the stove) I wonder what they were up to (?) perhaps 'eminent domain' with the roadway right next door played a part (?) but very sad with it's bigger than Brady Bunch era vibe. That fwy probably wasn't there when this was built (?)

@Kannerjb711 2 жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing about the road. I have a feeling the family lived there in it’s hey day. Multiple kitchens, bathrooms, floors. Huge game room downstairs with a. Small kitchen for making snacks or making tea whatever. I can believe a single family lived here at one point. I have seen larger homes occupied by less people. I bet the state or whatever wanted to build the road and it went through their property and that was probably the decision factor to move for the family, that and perhaps the kids got older, didn’t need the space, the home was outdated for the time and they had enough money to move to a newer better fitting house for them. They then subdivided the home into three apartments in an attempt to lease them as apartments but it almost looks/feels like that plan was never completed. The division of the foyer is so weird. The odd panels and they newer sheet rock walls. So strange. I wonder!

I definitely get that groovy late 70s/early80s vibe from it. Must have been quite an impressive house when it was new. No expense spared. Until I saw the basement, I thought, it's not too far gone yet. Even the roof shingles looked good. Can't be too long that it's been abandoned. If bought cheaply enough, it might even be feasible to restore the house to its former glory, saving as many cool vintage items as possible and do a tasteful retro-modern renovation.

Homes back then and before are / were built by Highly Qualified Builders,who took Pride in Their Work.My Late Paternal Grandparents' Home was Built in 1920's , It's STILL Standing and absolutely nothing wrong with it. My Parents House was also Built quite early, Their House is STILL Standing,my point just made.

This is set up more like a business property with offices, I think. The layout just doesn't make any sense for a house. It almost looks like a hotel at times when you are looking at the porches/balcony... just not a normal setup.

That line in the basement does not mean that it flooded 4 feet. it means the isolation and dry wall soaked the water until that line and it is probably the line where horizontal studs are. even a few inches of flood that stay long enough can soak long way up.

Couldn't pay me to live there... Real estate is all about location IMO. The highway is right at the edge of the property. Perfect for commercial or business use, but not for a home. Imagine it was much quieter when they built. Appears to have had a renovation gone terribly wrong. Perhaps trying to convert into multiple family home? The design is really odd to me.
