Buying a $27,000 Abandoned Mansion: The Cheapest Mansion on the Internet

Рет қаралды 2,353,580

Күн бұрын

Looking for a building to purchase and renovate; Dave and Sean take a tour one of the cheapest mansions currently listed for sale on the internet. Seriously contemplating if they should buy this abandoned mansion, and breath new life into this forgotten gem via what will surely be a full renovation. A quick ride out to this abandoned mansion in the shop truck (a 1966 Chevy C20), and the twins tour the home while Dave gives you an in depth guided video tour/explanation of what shape the house is in, and what repairs would be needed if the Brothers Workshop end up purchasing this abandoned mansion.
This episode has a little something for everyone. From a ride in the Chevy 1966 C20, a tour of an abandoned mansion, and even a little adventure; mix in a some building science, some imagination, and you've got yourself a great video.
Check out our latest video here: • Construction Site Visi...

My thoughts, precisely. Most old homes have clandestine hauntings. Truthfully, I live in Gallows Hill, which has another placename so not to deter property buyers. Hauntings with friendly, compatible ghosts are ok, while hostile ghosts are not. There are some people who can live with ghosts and some who can't. I have lived in few haunted houses, more good experiences than bad experiences. No matter how haunted my present home, it is one of the *SAFEST* places in the country. I have one most regular spirit in my life. He is my guardian fiercely protective of me. He protects me from spiritual dangers. His presence is enough to silence all activities by poltergeists. He had multiple times saved my life from extreme dangers like stalkers, rapists, murderers, etc. Also, he had previously responded to my many emergencies like few heart attacks, brain haemorrhages, fires, choking, etc. Everywhere where I go, he always comes with me and thwarts all dangers on my path, my great gratitude to him. His presence always increases my sense of safety, though daunting to visitors including relations.

I wonder what drove a person to burn a mattress in the basement. Maybe it's haunted by all the the people who were left there to die by their relatives. I could see a classic horror movie theme developing from this house. The place gets fixed up beautifully, an unsuspecting family falls in love with the house until realizing that it was a long term care facility, where elderly people were abused and tortured. They thought that they owned the house, but really it's possessed by all the souls that passed away there, and the evil nurse who ran the facility.

The neighborhood isnt very good, and there is hundreds of thousands of dollars of work to be done, the repair cost exceeds the price of several houses on that street COMBINED. It also is across the street from a ... funeral home. If I lived around there I would try and pool money from neighbors and demolish it, and the two neighboring houses pay like 50% of it, and increase their property sizes (just make it a large yard). I absolutely do not see anyone buying this and repairing it.

@@nofurtherwest3474 A long term care facility is usually doubled a rehabilitation center for people who have had a medical occurrence that leaves them requiring more specialty care than the average family or visiting nurse can handle. Usually patients staying in a long term care facility need extensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy before any home healthcare can begin. My dad is currently in a long term care facility after spending 3 months in the CVICU. Other patients there are in similar condition, but if they weren't on the upswing physically they wouldn't be in the rehabilitative stage of treatment. Nursing homes are where people go when they need pain relief until they die.

Thanks for this viewing. Just a quick comment regarding the chapel. You had mentioned that the building at some point was a long-term care facility which could explain the chapel. Please keep in mind that it was not uncommon for affluent Catholics at the time of that building being constructed they could have what was referred to as a private chapel for eucharistic adoration. In cities such as Saint Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Cleveland you can find mansions of this era with chapels of similar size.

Just stunning. The staircase alone would cost more than the purchase price if you were to commission a replica today. Sure, it's a huge amount of work, but the end product will be better than any new build you could create for the money. If this property were here in London, you would be looking at anything from £2m to £25m depending on location.

Holy cow, I cant believe i've finally seen the inside of this place! I live less than 10 minutes down the road, and I would see this huge house every sunday on my way to church. The folklore that i've heard is that the original owner of that house was the founder of the Victor Brewing Company. The brewery building is on the other side of town, and it has been abandoned much like this house is, i believe since the '70s. Just a neat little piece of history from my hometown.

@TheBrothersWorkshop 4 жыл бұрын

@danielfronc4304 4 жыл бұрын

The primary reason not to get involved in restoring this house is the profound lack of open room on all sides of the "house". With remediation and even if you can do 85% of the restoration work yourself, you'd still have to bring in some professional subcontractors. Bargaining with the bank/owners to buy the house and land for one dollar, it'd probably cost somewhere around $200K for ripping out virtually everything that's not supportive, remediation, subcontractors, and your time and money to replace everything. Looks like it had 3 lives. Too bad. It must have looked pretty nice at one time. I'm assuming whoever at once owned it sold off the land around it for the homes shoehorned in around it.

It's "held together by termites holding hands", as he grinds the gears. (just kidding!) Funny line! Most towns have historic homes like that. To many times money talks, and the precious parts are overlooked as the entire building is demolished for a parking lot. Most become care homes, and rot.

@lukula2934 4 жыл бұрын

Wow, I'm a builder/remodeler and I'm seeing a total gut job. Hopefully the roof and interior walls and floor framing are not compromised beyond mold, insect infestation, and wet/dry rot. If that were so, and you managed to restore this house to former glory, it is still in a pretty sad nieghborhood and way too close to abutters. And the comps would destroy any chance of monetary recuperation. Sorry to say that even the cleared lot wouldn't be worth much more than the $27K. As much as I love older homes, I'd say walk away. BTW if a bank owns this or it is a tax sale from the town/county they are holding a liability that grows more severe each year. Just think of the liabilities if this goes up in flames or becomes a flop house for homeless drug users. Whomever is holding the deed must know this and should be selling for $1 just to get out of any potential lawsuits downstream.
