Built by a Japanese Businessman moving to America in the 1960s, this vacant mansion features designs from the era such as Conversation Firepits, in home bars, and natural sourced wood and stone throughout the timeless home. The property was abandoned in 1999 and has never seen another owner since, despite that it remains in incredible condition with very little mold or vandalism. Come inside and take a tour through this beautiful retro home built for a family with class.

8:40 1970's Water-pik on the counter..Used to have one. That brings back some memories 12:57 Laundry room 13:20 That's a "Jack and Jill" bathroom, but strange to see it connected to a laundry room. It usually links 2 bedrooms. That kitchen would have been the first part of the 2007 remodel (it usually is...brings the most return on investment). They finished it, and then it NEVER got used. Amazing. No one has ever cooked in that kitchen 31:00 Possum cool stuff. Another thumbs up 👍

As I understand it, narrow hall ways were only a transition from one room to another. Bedrooms were smaller, too, as mostly just for sleep. The larger rooms were the communal/gathering rooms, as family members were to spend time together. The architect Frank Lloyd Wright brought those ideas back to the US and used them in his designs, as well.

12:34 it was actually very common to have no ceiling lights in the living room area - you were expected to use floor and table lamps. Why, don’t ask me, but it was a thing at the time. 13:00 I’ve got a built-in ironing board in my house, built in about the same period. So the room it was in may have been a laundry room, rather than a kitchen.

Watching your videos makes me wish that somehow these houses were offered to people who want to take them on. Some, like this one and others I have seen on your channel don’t look like they deserve to be demolished. A little TLC and that could be someone’s beloved home again.

Fascinating layout. It’s so different from what we in the US are used to seeing, I’d love for someone with knowledge on the style to chime in and give context. I was a child in the 70s and our neighbors had an intercom system in their home. As far as I know it was an outdated amenity by the 80s. Such an interesting explore. Thank you for this, it was quite a treat. 🙏

The plant at 15:30 is angelica tree (Aralia elata) The leaves of this plant can be eaten as a vegetable, so families would have cultivated that for various dishes i guess. This tree is characterized by a pretty strong ability to reproduce through rhizome, and as long as rhizome enter the house, they will move around indoors and create vegetation space tree at 29:30 is a paulownia tree(Paulownia coreana UYEKI, place of origin Ulleungdo, Korea) That grows the fastest among woody plants, so in reality, it can grow to that size in just 3-4 years, not a decades. In other words, the fact that this plant has entered an abandoned house means that it can quickly destroy and engulf the house due to its rapid growth rate.

As always, the answer is money. Even if the purchase price got down to an attainable amount, the insurance and property tax would likely be unsustainable for most people. Plus the cost of work that would have to be done to modernize and get rid of mold. The only people who *can* afford it, would likely just buy something more modern.

What stuck out to me was the fact that as old as the house is and with the size and number of windows in the place,none of the window seals are gone. You would expect to see at least one or two windows frosted over because of worn window seals, but I didn't see any. Quality windows put in that house.

I think this was a very interesting explore. I would have enjoyed seeing what it looked like fully furnished and decorated back when it was first built. I thought the bedrooms were quite small and the windows were quite odd being so high up you couldn’t even see outside and enjoy the view. Stay safe out there!

Really cool place! My favorite part of the house was the fire pit. The outside area was calm & relaxing, but I bet mosquitos would eat me up. Also think there should have been a little bit of outside area with an awning. Sit outside & enjoy the rain. I like a covered porch. Great explore, thanks for showing us. Just a shame a big family didn't want it.

Natural light, natural materials like wood and stone, winding traffic pattern... so beautiful and serene! The twisting pattern creates separate areas with a kind of mystery and surprise at what lies ahead. So much nicer than small windows and gypsum board mcmansions! Love your work.

My guess is, this house is quite far away from any town, to actually be interesting to anyone. Although you could clearly see that the owners tried to do something over here, in order to make it useable again. It was clearly well built. The chances that a better home would be build over here are very slim. A newer one yes, but I have my doubts if better.

We're told that on the occasion of the dismal idea of "Your property going back to the Bank", due to your inability to afford the payment, for whatever reason. Parents that "owned" the property passed away, no will, or none of the children want the property. But we're told that the Bank MUST have their money REPAID. IF that were the case, wouldn't these Banks make some semblance of an effort to salvage what is available on the property? But they don't. Such a waste of craftsmanship, architecture, design, history . . . most likely the Banks property at this point, an incredible profit to be made from salvage and/or rehab. And yet, they don't. The math just doesn't work. What is going on?
@KISSbestfan
@KISSbestfan 4 күн бұрын
Banks just want money, and money only, and want to intimidate those in debt. And what a better way than to take your house? Nobody wants to end on the Streets. So people do stupid things like taking another loan in order to repay a loan and so on. Some do have alternatives though, and it all ends by them giving up the property. In Bank nobody will take care of this, because they dont need to. They will make money anyway.

@ 13:48 that appears to be the laundry room. You can see the see the dryer vent at the floor and the water hookup box on the wall. The restroom right before is called a jack and jill bathroom. Basically 2 separate toilet/sink areas with a shower in between them. So it would be Bathroom - Shower - Bathroom
