Odd place to have an elevator entrance/exit, in a bathroom? I’d hate to be sitting there doing my business and hear, “Ding”!!! and there stands your mother-in-law.😂
I think it was likely added when the homeowner became elderly and could no climb up the stairs. Probably lived alone, or just husband and wife, and would have no fear of someone else ever coming off the elevator.
I love your channel and your excellent explores ! I do find it really no maddening that so many beautiful propertys aren't renovated, and they just knock em down and build more , it seens like a real waste .
I love your videos Brent and ones like this show how little we really understand what's really important in life and what's just to satisfy the human ego!
What a large, beautiful home! So sad it will be destroyed for some cheap, ugly apartment buildings that will fall apart within 10 years. *Sigh*, Thanks, Bret
I’d love to go back in time and see this place in its glory, full of family and food and wine. Grapes growing. Life happening. I bet lots of relatives and friends from “the old country” came to stay in all those bedrooms. Staff living downstairs probably. LOTS of floor buffing going on, those floor gleam! The whole house feels quite well maintained, even if dated. The parents getting older, not interested in modern updates. Staff kept it really clean. A good, big, solid, functional house, not overly fancy. Notice there is no big grand kitchen, despite multiple. So interesting. Thank you, Brent. ☺️ Fabulous work as always. 👍
This is a beautifully massive house. I thought it was owned by Italians and was sure once I saw the wine damigiane and the tomato bushels. In the basement they even had a room and table for sausage and tomato sauce making. With all those grape vines in the greenhouse, they must have also made wine. Great find, Brent! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Sorry but I'm gonna get political here...i see it all over the rural area near my home - someone builds an obscenely huge mansion after tearing down the beautiful, decent- sized farmhouse that was there first. Then when they are finished with it their kids cant afford to live in it d/t taxes or split inheritance. Only a developer can afford to purchase it. In order to make any return on their investment the developer must tear it down. It's too far from urban centre for homeless housing since no public transit out there. All this waste is what happens. This may seem like too much government involvement but it should be impossible to get a building permit for such a monster house. Rant over lol. Thank you for your great videos!
Sad to see a house that was once so loved just sitting there ready to be demolished. Thanks for taking us on the trip through this house and for all the other videos you've done as well. I've been binge watching today and am very intrigued!
Absolutely Beautiful,,cannot believe they are to demolish this place,,They can bring just half and leave it in my yard .My old house was built before 1900 and you can tell it,,been working on it for years with not much accomplished,but it's mine,I guess it's paid for and a roof over my head..My Mom and Dad gave it to me so alot of sentimental value to me is worth more than money .Daddy called it a shack and its not pretty like this is,,wish i had some of the stuff that its built with...But just can't see someone tearing it down its in great shape still..Wow what a shame...Thanks for sharing It's an awesome place ..Love and Hugs from the USA.
Brent .... Hi again, I was having a sleepless night when *Ureka * here comes a vlog from my favourite xplorer xx (Love the cap, by the way🧢) I get really despondent when I realise they will tear down the home and build over the bakers dreams ! Thank you for taking care to give as much background as you can. Such a beautiful building I love the kitchen and sun room and all the wood everywhere. Keep on doing what you doing . I appreciate you so much. Janice 🇬🇧 xxxx
I don't remember seeing a main kitchen. I'll have to go back and look but those always stand out in my brain. As big as that dining room was, you'd think the kitchen was just as luxurious! Thank you for showing this magnificent place!
I adore cats myself but I wouldn't worry too much about that 'furbaby'! It may well be feral and even if it isn't cats are very self sufficient and will find plenty to sustain them. Gill 🇬🇧
What happens the the cat when the house gets torn down ? It breaks my heart,he must be so lonely. 😢😢 Hope that if those people that abandoned the house and the cat with it get KARMA
14 million mansion... to be demolished, cause they wanna built luxury homes. Funny, to me, a house worth 14 million dollars, in that great state, wood is beautiful, no water damage, not overly pilfered, no squatters... IS an actual luxury home. Why demolish it? They could just fix whatever needs it, and make that one of the houses to be sold... It's a crying shame to demolish that.
19:58 Looks like part of the hydraulics related to the elevator. Most residential elevators use hydraulics. Commercial elevators use large three phase motors and bulky cable and pulley systems that are hard to fit into a house or power properly on a residential electrical service.
I’ve seen the toilet and bidet in a Rome hotel. The bidet was great to have especially with diarrhea-no wiping necessary. I was vomiting too so both toilets were quite handy. 🤭
Because this is the number one rule exploring abandoned places. If I posted the address of these wonderful abandoned places they would be stripped, vandalized and burnt to the ground within days
Another great explore! Such a beautiful house I love all the wood. It’s a shame it’s going to be demolished and they will probably cut down the beautiful trees. Thanks for sharing Brent!❤️
This was great! All that woodwork was so gorgeous. They probably had a lot of rugs (like the one in a heap inside the front door) to keep it from echoing too much.
Japanese style toilet. Heated seat, warm water spray for cleaning your bum, fan for drying. Very nice...very expensive. Once you use one, it's hard to go back.
It's similar to some of the full featured toilets in Japan, but this one in the video is just simply a heated seat. If it had the cleaning wand or anything else it would have been visible and the buttons to control it all would be on top or on little stick out handle.
I've always loved these giant homes, but I couldn't imagine living in one. If you had a large family, it would be cool, but there's no way I could manage to keep it maintained. Excellent exploration, as always. Thanks for sharing it.
It's a nice video, But it is unfortunate that such a beautiful home It's going to be demolished, but I'm sure the developers know what they're doing.There must be higher dollar signs with the other homes that are to be built.
Man's folly.....to think he'll live forever and build monuments to himself. Craigdarroch Castle has to be the ultimate example of that but it goes on all over the World. Great videos! I've just discovered your channel, nice work 👍🏻
What a beautiful home. I'm surprised it hasn't been vandalized too much. All those dishes left behind - a women's shelter would love all of those. Really a shame its being demolished. Thanks Brent :o)
Incredible woodworking throughout. Even in the 80’s this house would have cost 💲 10M+ to build and complete. A real shame it’s getting demolished. The power supplies are 3 phase power (Industrial supply). You would have needed that kind of energy for such a large building. It was interesting to see how much gas heating they used.
What a killer place. I get such mixed emotions of sadness, awe, curiosity, wonderment of the history of the people that lived in the homes you tour. I hope the demo crew saves the wood, fridge, etc. Thank you for the tour.
Another great explore, Brent! As always. I always have wondered, when I see big houses like this, what each room was for. I've always lived in a small house; I don't think I could decide what each room was for. lol
Wow, it makes me so upset to see a large,lovely well-kept place like that sold for development. I do hope someone like Salvage Kings comes in to rescue that wonderful wood everywhere. Such a shame. Was there no family interested in having the place? Perhaps just too big a house, too much work and too much money offered Very sad! And Brent, bidets are lovely!
Hello Brent!! What a huge house! Just amazing place but a shame these darn developers buy the houses just to tear them down. Thanks for taking me along.😊❤
I love it when they tear down perfectly good buildings to build "luxury" homes, that the average person won't be able to afford to buy. They should repurpose the house, and use it for a community center, when they build the "luxury" homes around it.
Awesome! I love the bar in the basement, imagine a pool table and your mates, how cool. I know my wife would love those greenhouses. What a perfect pad
The "electric toilet" is heated and has sensors so that when you walk up to it the lid opens and then closes when you leave. Plus sometimes there's a nightlight attached to the bowl. Very expensive toilet. I hope the oak doors and stairway wood are salvaged before destruction.
It's a shame they had all that money and live long enough to enjoy it" guess it's true when they say you can't take it with you". Excellent content Brent!👍👌✌️💯😎
The toilet sees you coming and lights up, lifts the lid, and heats the seat. ☺️ Such a pretty house. Someone loved plants, and was good at growing them. So sad when people pass on and their loved one is left behind, especially when they got along so well and helped each other. All those tubs of fertilizer in the greenhouse... it's always made me wonder about how growing your own food can be really expensive. She loved her chickens and sharing the eggs with others. 😶🌫️
I'm not much for the layout of the house, but the foyer, stairs and landing are stunning! 😍 I do think a bigger chandelier would of looked better there though!
Hi, Brent and where is the indoor pool? The house in my opinion does not have a 'soul' and it is not 'warm'....I prefer the old mansions ....eh...Thanks.
Ouch.... this is clearly a space that the person who owned it "always meant to move into" and then time got away from them. It appears that they may have tried to, and then died just afterwards. Just goes to show you, enjoy things while you've got them.... our time is limited.
I needed a running total of all the bathrooms. I’d love to see you add that to your explores, a running count of bedroom, bathrooms, and in the case of this home, kitchens. Such a beautiful home. So very grand.
Pisses me off that this place is getting torn down when there is virtually nothing wrong with the place. If I had the money I would buy it right from developer and clean it up. let the rest of land go for development.
wow,, I hope they get as much stuff out of that house as they can, so much amazing woodwork that can be reused,, sad to that house going away, but thank you for showing us this amazing video before it gone,
I think that toilet is an early wall mounted toilet with built in warm water bidet and it's in a wet room for easy wash down/ cleaning. Easier than getting from a toilet to a bidet I guess if you're elderly.
I really hope the developer recycles a lot of the house, all of that solid oak in the doors the railings and such would be horrible to see it all go to the landfill
Pretty sure the reason that toilet was plugged in is because it’s got an automatic seat lift and flush, you can see the sensor in the middle and hear the motor turning when you lifted it by hand.

Love this comment. picturing it now.
@@jgjg3848I agree 👍🏻
I like how you don't feel the need to narrate constantly. It makes for a very relaxing experience.
Hey thank you 👍🏻
Yes Brent ! Very relaxing 😅
I do hope someone salvages the infrastructure and wood in this one. The place is pristine and obviously loved.
I love your channel and your excellent explores !
I do find it really no maddening that so many beautiful propertys aren't renovated, and they just knock em down and build more , it seens like a real waste .
Nobody can afford this, thats what is so stupid. Like you said, a real waste.
@@flack3 Turn it into 10 apartments? they would be very nice.
Glad you like them! Thank you
My bidet was a lifesaver during the great covid toilet paper shortage.
I love your videos Brent and ones like this show how little we really understand what's really important in life and what's just to satisfy the human ego!
Amen! Well said 👏👏👏
Exactly!
Such a big house but a small kitchen. I expected something really grand and imposing, especially as you said he was a master Baker.
why would anyone tear down such a nice home? what a waste.
Agreed
💯 % agree with you. This house is beautiful.
What a large, beautiful home! So sad it will be destroyed for some cheap, ugly apartment buildings that will fall apart within 10 years. *Sigh*, Thanks, Bret
Insane beautiful homes demolished!! Omg why? Much love from toronto!!
Send all that oak to the landfill yepp...

I agree. It was owned by Italians.
What a gorgeous place. It's a shame it went to a developer. Thanks for taking us there, Brent.
OH NO!!! That Poor Sewing Machine! Sewing Machine Lady here. Great video! My favorite area was the Greenhouse. Weird, right? I liked the cat too.
I don't know why your videos have such a calming and soothing effect,..........but they do. Thanks for another great explore!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them 👍🏻

Hi again, I was having a sleepless night when *Ureka * here comes a vlog from my favourite xplorer xx
(Love the cap, by the way🧢)
I get really despondent when I realise they will tear down the home and build over the bakers dreams !
Thank you for taking care to give as much background as you can.
Such a beautiful building I love the kitchen and sun room and all the wood everywhere.
Keep on doing what you doing .
I appreciate you so much.

6:58 in the video. There's an outdoor one and a not very impressive indoor one
@@newsletterman I saw those. I figured there would have been a grand one. For such a nice house, the kitchen definitely lacked.
I think he said / showed pretty much everything was removed from the upper indoor kitchen
Hi oh my goodness I cried when u saw kitty poor furbaby I just wanted hug it 😢 how sad.😢😢😢😢
I adore cats myself but I wouldn't worry too much about that 'furbaby'! It may well be feral and even if it isn't cats are very self sufficient and will find plenty to sustain them. Gill 🇬🇧
What happens the the cat when the house gets torn down ? It breaks my heart,he must be so lonely. 😢😢 Hope that if those people that abandoned the house and the cat with it get KARMA
Hopefully a lot of the materials, fixtures and components of the house will be salvaged for things like Habitat for Humanity and not go to waste....
Imagine all the trees it took to build that monster house. I will never understand why a human thinks they need that much space.
Amazing house!!! Too bad they will build fake fancy townhouses in place of this old beauty !! Thanks for the explore :)
I find this house to be aesthetically unappealing. The pretentious columns. The proportions. Ugly.
I hope somebody is going to salvage doors, windows, etc. or make it livable & build around it! They probably grew their own herbs in the greenhouse.
14 million mansion... to be demolished, cause they wanna built luxury homes.

Cool! .. Finally one I haven't seen, Good video. I like how you don't rush through and swing your camera around. Thank You.❤😊
Nice place. Lovely interior architecture. Wood everywhere, woaw. Love it.
Good choice.😊
The wood alone is worth a lot of money. So sad that this beautiful home is going down.
What a magnificent house!
Taking a wild guess the “dungeon “ was where they butchered farm animals???
Why do none of these video's identify the property locations? What is the mystery? Are there legal implications? super frustrating.
Because this is the number one rule exploring abandoned places. If I posted the address of these wonderful abandoned places they would be stripped, vandalized and burnt to the ground within days
Those curtains in the ballroom were straight out of a funeral home. Maybe someone in the house was handicapped-hence the elevator.
Yes they put the elevator in at a later date for the previous owner
Another great explore! Such a beautiful house I love all the wood. It’s a shame it’s going to be demolished and they will probably cut down the beautiful trees. Thanks for sharing Brent!❤️
This was great! All that woodwork was so gorgeous. They probably had a lot of rugs (like the one in a heap inside the front door) to keep it from echoing too much.
Again not sure what it is with your podcast intro with railroad bear deer and under water ship just love it
Nice big house. Thanks Brent for letting us tag along with you.
Stay safe and well.👍🆒
Very beautiful! Cool video bro! ❤️🤘👍
Thanks for sharing, Brent. It’s a beautiful home, but I would not like to clean or heat it! Lol!
Such a shame its going to be demolished…
That toilet looks like it might be a SELF CLEANING toilet. Hi Brent! Thanks for your videos...I love them!!
That weird Toilet looks like a composting toilet you'd see in a RV
I’m an animal lover… now I’m worried about the cat😩
What a waste for this beautiful house. So nice. All that gorgous woodwork. Hi Brent, good to see you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

yes, what a shame it's being demolished, not that much wrong with it, could be fixed up for not much, It's beautiful.
The "electric toilet" is heated and has sensors so that when you walk up to it the lid opens and then closes when you leave. Plus sometimes there's a nightlight attached to the bowl. Very expensive toilet.

How would you change the light bulbs in that chandelier above the staircase?😮
Love your discoveries always a pleasure. Beautiful house but to big for me.
I really enjoy your videos
I just dislike seeing abandoned million dollar places.
I noticed some of the wood floors had round pegs holding them together. Very unique. I wonder what they grew in the greenhouses? Cool place!

WHY NOT TURN these huge homes into low income or homeless housing.
What a difference between the luxurious house and the disgusting conditions the hens were kept in. So sad.
The word developer is a 4 letter word.
What About That Poor Cat 🐱🐱🐱? What will happen when the house gets demolished? Are there at least other houses near where the cat can go ?????
What an odd layout imho but, could have been a lovely home. Shame its being demolished Brent!
Hmm, maybe that plug-in toilet tips up slowly to help an elderly person stand. 🤔 I dunno.
Hiii, I'm baaaaaack! I missed your videos 🇧🇷❤️
I think that toilet is an early wall mounted toilet with built in warm water bidet and it's in a wet room for easy wash down/ cleaning. Easier than getting from a toilet to a bidet I guess if you're elderly.
I hope they recycle some of the good stuff, at least give it to Habitat For Humanity.
I could build a damned nice house just with the money they spent on plumbing.
I really hope the developer recycles a lot of the house, all of that solid oak in the doors the railings and such would be horrible to see it all go to the landfill
Impressionante a riqueza do seu país, ótimo vídeo Brent.
Pretty sure the reason that toilet was plugged in is because it’s got an automatic seat lift and flush, you can see the sensor in the middle and hear the motor turning when you lifted it by hand.
Sure love the doors in that house and the hardwood floors. What a great explore. Looks very clean. Still sad to see another one about to be gone.
