Thanks so much for the info😄

It's so sad that this home is the victim of greed. Originally loved, purchased by someone with no intention of living in it. Thank you so much for the history you researched. I hope his widow is doing okay. It must break her heart if she knows of it's current state.

It sure is my FAVORITE HOME too!! 😍 ❤🏠

Same!

I truly AGREE with you!! ❤🏠🪴🌷❤️

The house next to use used to be abandoned. The owners were in a nursing home and for some reason it wasn’t being sold. For 8 yrs no one lived there, but someone was paying to have it mowed and kept the power on. Not sure who or why, but I’m guessing it has something to do with city regulations etc.

It is also a very clean house, someone must be trying to keep it up in spite of it being vacant. The kitchen is immaculate as well as the bathrooms.

Or Avacado or harvest gold.

Cabinets aren’t original either.

@@kathyrobertson4493 I agree. In my childhood home, same vintage (early 60s as I believe this home is going by all the original details), we had the harvest gold appliances. The kitchen cabinets are not original though, they look like 80s whereas the tile looks older, mid 70s. The appliances in the basement kitchen though, especially the stove could be original to the house.

They can, but at the insanely high price it's greedy current owner is asking for it. It's so sad.

The wood paneling that we used didn't age too well. It was cheap and it looked cheap. If I had this house, I'd pull out that paneling and put in wood planks. (The living room has wood planks.)

I respectfully disagree, I LOVE the Master, I prefer the lighter colored paneling instead of that dark and dreery brown!!

I actually have but even abandoned houses still go for an absurd amount of money here so it's just not in the cards for me

No, I am pretty sure this home never had central AC. It just wasn't common in the 60s (when this home was built) or 70s. I grew up in the GTA - my childhood home is the same vintage as this one. We didn't get central AC until the early 80s. We didn't even have the window shakers as this house has, we only had fans & open windows & still sweated our butts off with the humidity! These window shakers are old, as in from the early 80s. My own first home was a sidesplit built in '66 & I was able to speak to the original owner who told me it didn't get central AC until the 1980s.

This is absolutely mcm and not later than early 70s. Kitchen updated late 80s or early 90s it looks like.

@@alexac3098 I agree, it is not a 70s built home. More like early to mid 60s. It has so many features my childhood home in the GTA had & it was built in '63. The homes in my neighbourhood built in the 70s had different features altogether. The door bell box is almost identical to mine, only mine is black with silver circle. I took it with me when I sold my childhood home this past spring. It still works & sounds so much nicer than a lot of the new ones.

That was Ian looking for his bracelet.

I don't know where you are located, but it does not seem like you are in the southern Ontario area of Canada. I know the municipality that this home is located in, I grew up & spent most of my life about an hour south west of it where my childhood home is located. This home is not what we call a ranch bungalow here in my neck of the woods. My childhood home is, which is a straight bungalow with no other shape to it other than rectangular. This home is not from the 70s either, I am 99 % sure it was built in the early to mid 60s like when my childhood home & neighbourhood was, 1963 to be exact. The cedar shakes on the outside walls, framed by brick were very common in the 60s as was that style of front cedar door. Again, my childhood home had it. I agree with you about those wall sconces, they are not art deco, rather ugly 80s style just like the glass blocks on the right side of the front door. My parents had a glass block window installed on our house during a major reno in 1987. It was very trendy back in the 80s & I hated it then as much as I do now. I agree the house does not have central AC, never had it but again, it was not a common thing to have here when this house was built in the 60s. And this was certainly not because the summers now are hotter then back then. We had brutally hot summers when I was a kid, even the summer of 73 when my mom was pregnant with me it was often well into the 30s (degree celsius) PLUS the humidity on top of that, that is so common here. Atleast it had window shakers! We only had fans & open windows which caused many sleepless, sweaty nights until my parents had central AC installed in the early 80s. AC was not cheap, & a bit of a novelty. Also, we had Pierre Trudeau as prime minister from the late 60s to the early 80s & he decimated the economy & drove interest rates through the roof. Think like 18% mortgage rates. So this broke a lot of people financially. The wood panelling is indeed a cheap option instead of drywall. My parent's home atleast had drywall. But my own first home which was a sidesplit built in 1966, had wood paneling instead of drywall in the finished family room in the basement. I found out from it's original owner that it too did not get central AC until the early 80s.
