That's pretty cool I live in a converted crack house that's also currently still a crack house

i always pass by this home, now i get to see what it looks like inside !!!!!

This guy knows his southern californian history! What an incredible home and I couldn't think of a better person to own and appreciate it!

I like how passionate he is about his home. Gorgeous views too. Good for you, bud.

I’ve stayed here using airb&b it’s awesome at night

"What kid doesn't like to live in a hidden room?" Fritzl's kids, Harry Potter and Anne Frank come to mind.

love how he kept its historical integrity. its like a livable museum.

i just want someone to love me as much as this dude loves his house

I love these types of videos! I much more prefer videos like these, rather that the over-the-top celebrity homes.

this certainly puts the “air” in airbnb

...Being an Orange County native...I'm so happy to be able to see the inside of this place that I grew up seeing only the outside!.. thank you!.. 😎👍

Aww, I actually like this guy. He's so genuine and natural

He did a great job at presenting his home!

I’m sure there is one kid out there who is scared of hidden rooms...

The guy is really passionate about his house

"Trains back in the day carried two things - solids and liquids" ...go on...

Incredible home! Liked how the current owner knew his history and reused little touches from the existing structure

I remember tripping out on this building when we would pass by it as a kid.

Nice use, and what we SHOULD be doing with older American structures.

It certainly is unique and I like it and he genuinely seems happy to share it with us

The amount of detail that you put into this is really impressive. You kept and added a lot of thing that most people wouldn’t think of. I can’t imagine how much this build actually cost but I’m really curious lol. You guys did something very special here I hope I can see this in person someday.

I love that he has included so many cool historical elements for the surrounding area inside the house. So thoughtful

Thanks Scott for the tour. As a 65 y.o. man I've gone that tower hundreds and hundreds of time. You and your partner did an awesome in the restoration

This is probably my favourite video by AD. The guy really loves his job and the tower itself with its history.

“What kid doesn’t like to sleep in a secret room?” FBI: WE GOT HIM

That was interesting and quite educational... It's great when someone has researched and too restored a cherished Landsite and then receive a special tour, is the best... Thank You

there's nothing i love more than a "dont tell anyone" moment in a video seen by millions of people

THIS IS FABULOUS! And I love how it's not the typically sleek, cold homes that AD seems to show off. I'd love to refurb an old building and turn it into my home, so this his me right in the heart. Love it!

I’ve always wondered if anyone lives in that tower whenever I was surfing at the sunset beach. It was my reference point for my location for the current drafting me down to the jetty. Also saw a 6ft shark 40 yards away from me there. Since then I’ve been surfing by the cliffs

Imagine the struggle getting the sofas up to the top floor 😂

Grew up in Sunset and Surfside from 1972- onward. Later we lived one block from this Tower at 26th. When I was little the school bus picked us up right in front of it. When we surfed it was the land marker to judge how far we drifted. Always loved it. Great friendships were made within a few blocks of it. Fights happened on the grass, we took dates to walk on the beach past the Water Tower. Meet me at the Water Tower is what we’d say. Thanks for the tour. Always wondered what it looked like inside. 😎

Missed opportunity to name the bathroom, “solids and liquids.” 💦 💩 😂

A bit hokey, but in a charming way. Love it. Seems like a fun place to AirBnB.

What a great tour! I love this. Kudos to Mr. Ostlund - Well-done!

I didn't grow up along the beach aera, but I did grow up in the San Gabriel Valley(Pasadena) which is about 25 minutes due North, North West. With Los Angeles traffic its an hour+ easy. I remember this tower as a kid. When the older siblings took me to the beach with them back in the late 70s/early 80s. (Took a lot of pleading & crying but hey how else is the baby of the family gonna get to hang with the older ones) To me this tower always ment it was summertime in SoCal which also meant NO SCHOOL, FIREWORKS, BBQ, SUMMER NIGHTS AT A DODGER GAMES, CAMPOUTS IN THE BACKYARD, NIGHT SWIMMING SINCE WE HAD A POOL, All that good stuff... So thank you Scott Oslund for keeping the water tower alive because for me, its a reminder of how fun childhood can be, if one is lucky enough to have one nowadays......... Bolsa Chica Beach or Huntington Beach which is walking distance for those who aren't from SoCal, were a lot more fun since they have large size pits for bonfires & BBQ's at night. But there was always some group of wild teens who were learning how to drink....

Just to add to the history of this house, my father Robert Goldschmitt operated Design Drafting Service in Huntington Beach in the 1970’s. His office was on Warner Blvd. one day about 1977 a client came in and asked him design a house for the water tower. He told me that he thought the guy was nuts, but he did completely design a house for the water tower. I’m not sure if that design was used, but I remember seeing my father draw up the blue prints. Unfortunately my father passed away in 2009 and he never kept copies of his work. I certainly wish I had those original drawings. It’s great to see this landmark in all its glory.

Dang, I can't believe they removed the fish tank in the stairwell and replaced it with rusted metal and gravel. It's one of my favorite memories of seeing it so many years ago. It's a heck of a lot darker inside too. Still iconic, though.

I've stood under that water tower when it wasn't a house I took pictures of it on 35mm film and still have them

Awe, this dude worked really hard on this place. You can tell it would be worth a vacation

Oh my God I love the train set up there. When we were in Germany our dad built a train set through the whole house my brother and I lloved it my mom not so much.lol

I’ve always passed this and never noticed that it was a Airbnb

„Water weighs about 6 pounds a gallon“ My european brain: *literally blank*

I love it, a great old structure wonderfully repurposed and masterfully presented. Projects like this should serve as a model for how interesting old structures can be saved and given new lives.

What an incredible home. The walls, bathroom, & the rooms. Very nautical & industrial. The kitchen! It’s beautiful. Love love love the cabinets.

Finally an interesting piece that really catches my attention and not some overpriced house for sale or some celebrity cribs(wanna be mtv)

I would stay there in a heartbeat! So cool!

Every time I would be going through Sunset Beach, I've always thought that this is so cool and I always wanted a closer look. This is an amazing structure

That's so cool. I've seen that water tower house so many times and have been amazed by it, but have never actually seen the inside of it

I really like it. I feel it is creative and fun.

Named the bathrooms after two things they carried. "Solids and liquids?" Barrels and burlap. Lmao

WOW…..I love this. A fantastic home and I wish I was living there.

This was so thoughtfully and nicely done... Thank You! For letting us in! It's fun and amazing!

"What kid doesn't want to live in a hidden room?" Uh, Harry Potter?

Hidden room? My claustrophobia is already freaking out

Have lived near this tower my whole life (52), this I think is the first glimpse inside I've had. Thanks for sharing this. Very cool.

This is the best AD home video. What an orator - best presentation I’ve seen and heard. I live minutes away and never knew - gonna go tour it soon - This would be my dream home - forget all those mansions.

Man perfect for an AirBnb Luxe property...

It's a shame that they didn't hire a good interior designer because that's really a great setting

For somebody who is not into architecture nor interior design like me, this is a great example of the effort that can be put into projects of such kind.

I'm glad old water towers are being converted into homes. What a good idea!👍👌👏

3:05 claustrophobia INTENSIFIES..

2:04 Incredibly safe to have a light switch next to running water.

To realize all the nostalgic thought that went into this renovation/remodel is a testament to the passion this man has and the twisted mind to create something so offbeat yet perfect.

Every time I would drive passed this tower I would become very curious and wonder what it was like inside. It’s so amazing to see how much thought you put into the details of this place.

I heard someone did this inWoodstock, Cape Town, South Africa too.

So confused. I thought this was a history video-- this guy sure knows his history. Great home anyway!

This house is awesome! One of the best properties ever shown on AD in my eyes.

I pass by this all the time. Nice to see the inside after the renovation. Thanks for sharing!

Me : reads the words water tower Also me: ain't that where Aquamarine lives?

I drive by there literally every other day?? IM SHOOOOK

I love the historic references everywhere..his enthusiasm is really inspiring

Out of the whole house I admire your kitchen and the balcony. It’s nice and super chill.

In the intro he says "what kid doesn't love sleeping in a hidden room?" I imagine Josef Fritzl's daughter and grandchildren would object to that....

He buys a structure like that every weekend??? Damnnn

Soooo nice is. Walls in the kitchen - lovee it. So natural.. And so much light inside.. Instead to loose, all is redesigned and used.. Love it. Thank You a lot.

I HAVE DRIVEN BY THIS SO MANY TIMES and I finally know what it is Thank you!!

You don‘t find these in Germany. So jealous! What an incredibly gorgeous concept!

was here for a bachelor party, some things happened on that top floor.

I used to live in Huntington Beach and would drive past this house everyday . It's the coolest

I’ve always wondered what this tower looked like on the inside. Thanks for all the historical info too!

I wonder if the water tower house is rented as an AirBNB

"What kid doesn't like to sleep in a hidden room" Ann frank prolly

FANTASTIC!........So cool,....excellent re-design,....I totally enjoyed the tour. Food for thoughts and fantasies,.....I will be dreaming about this place until I die. Thank you for saving it and giving it a new life. Just Beautiful!

They put so much thought into the rebuild. I Freaking love it!

Water weighs about 8lbs per gallon...not 6. So even more people.

This is going down when the big one hits. I can only imagine the damage.

Awesome to have seen this. My Dad remembers the railroad that came through Seal Beach.

Drive by the water tower all the time, glad I can see inside now

"About six pounds a gallon" lol he did no research on that part

3:16 poor camera guy lol... Dude is shoved so far into the corner he's shaking lol

I love! I always wanted to know about the history of that tower. Been seeing it for so long as I pass by that neighborhood on my way home to Huntington Beach. Thanks for sharing!

Very beautiful house, so glad to see this historic landmark restored

Nice house. But with that view how could you ever forget you're by the beach. It's a great place to be in if a tsunami comes, but I wouldn't want to be in it during one of those So. Cal. earthquakes.

Take a shot for every time he says Southern California

Yes. This is indeed the coolest home ever featured (imo).

Thanks for letting us see inside. Also thanks again for keeping some historic elements.

I'm gonna take the elevator You can take the stairs 😂😂😂😂😂 Imagine the cameraman takes their gear taking a 70 foot stair from bottom

All fun and games until an earthquake knocks it down lol

I always pass by this place almost everytime.

My folks live in Belmont Shores and I've driven by that tower countless times and I've always wondered what it looked like inside and who lived there. Very cool to see this!
