I Explored a Mob Boss’s Unbelievable ABANDONED Dream Mansion Built in 1979 And Here Is What I Found

  • this massive 5000 square-foot ranch style home was custom built by an Italian crime family in the late 1970s. It remained in the family until a death in 2020 and the house was put up for sale. The house was then purchased by a redevelopment company who will demolish this house and rebuild a 9500 square-foot mansion on the 4 acre property.since this recording, the house has since been fenced off and locked up.
    The inside of this house remains exactly how it did the day they first moved in back in 1979. The brown ceramic tile, the dark brown wood cabinets in the kitchen, the interior, brick walls, and brick fireplaces, even the original stove and refrigerator in the basement with the owners last name on them shows how custom this place really was. I bet there was some unbelievable parties in that basement and in the ballroom! 
    i’m sure it is only a matter of time until this house is reduced to rubble the day the excavator rolls up and demolishes it. The new home that will replace this has no chance of even coming close to replicating the class and incredible architecture that this home shows. this was one of my favourite explores of 2023.

    That's a quality built home. The upstairs has absolutely no sign of any water leaks anywhere. And look at how clean this house is.

    This is one of my favorite abandoned mansions. I would move in and leave it as is. It’s unique and beautiful. Makes me sick that it’s going to be destroyed.

    I was the passenger in an SUV yesterday that hit the end of a guardrail head on at 60mph. I was in the trauma center all day/night until I was upgraded. My dog who was in the back hit the windshield and is in the emergency vet. I needed to watch some of these videos to get the accident off of my mind. I am in so much pain. Please, everyone with a dog, get harnesses and seatbelts for them. My dog is 100 lbs and he still was thrown from the back of our SUV. Great video! ❤

      Thank you for the prayers and kind messages. I will be putting up a video after the holidays about the accident and how we all are. My sweet dog and my friend who was driving are here with me at home. He had a diabetic drop in sugar and it caused him to pass out while driving. Scary how it takes less than a second for a car to end up hitting something. There was no time to react.

      BTW: something that might make you smile for a moment. When our friend stepped in front of the toilet it lifted and we were all like, okay now that's cool. Y'all know as well as I do that all dude was thinking was, "Yeah, I'm peeing in that toilet before I leave this place!!" Lol!!

  • @karrie1377
    @karrie1377 Год назад +7

    You are correct. This house is incredible. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to outbid and keep this treasure of a home alive. I would keep most everything as is, though a bit outdated by some opinions it is still so cool. That fireplace off the kitchen gorgeous. I imagine that area was the heart of the home, a great place to gather family and friends. Love that sunroom! What a great private lot. Makes me angry and sad. Wish I had the means to beat some of these developers at their own game. I wish I were on a zoning board and able to deny permits that include needless and wasteful destruction. Is anything with character and craftsmanship ever saved? Thank you for sharing Ethan this beautiful treasure of a home. Stay safe be well and take care.

  • @BrownsBacker
    @BrownsBacker Год назад +1

    This was a beauty! Obviously meant to be reminiscent of a sprawling Mediterranean villa, in the glass next to the front doors and the angles used in the great room and master bedroom had splashes of American craftsman also in it. Im not sure I've ever seen anything like it in that type of hybrid feel. Funny that it had a full ballroom for entertaining, yet an unfinished area set up perfectly to be a game/billiard room. It seems that the owners entertained on a large scale. I would love to live in a home this interesting. It's a tragedy that it is to be demolished.

    You have taken us on some incredible tours through some beautiful homes, but this one is by far, my very favorite! I LOVE the sunroom off the bedroom/dining rooms. My cat would lose his mind in there-it would be the best catio ever! I wish I could own this home. The only thing I didn't like about it was the fact that it was going to be demolished. I agree with everyone else-so sad it's being destroyed. Thanks for the amazing tour!

    Oh Ethan I know I can’t, but I wish I could take you back to the 70’s! Today is the best time of my life, but I will never forget the 70’s. The craziest, most colorful, best music, concerts every weekend, , biggest party ever💃🏻🎸. All that place needed was a disco ball. And I hate disco, but I love 🪩. Rock on Ethan!❤️

  • @angelacritters

    This abandoned mansion is breathtaking it's so surreal. The mahogany molding, just the outline of the home , the way they built this home with semitry and balance. It's a beautiful traditional classic home. I so love it.

    I have been watching your videos, for a couple of years now. And, have enjoyed your love and passion for what you do. The past videos of homes that could have been easily restored and lived in.......lets me know the fall in line with the rest of society, which is going on right now. In the entry of this home, that is a custom made table with a marble enlay to section off the room. And that clock is an antique. It looks as if someone was taking the time to update the bathrooms. This is a beautiful, beautiful home. Thanks

    I love the way you are so respectful of these properties, Ethan. I am like you, if I turn a light on, I turn it off upon leaving the room. This house is lovely, and I wish it was not going to be torn down. In so many houses, where they have been abandoned and so much is left, I always wish that the family or someone would at least take the clothes, appliances, furniture, and give them to people in need who would be so glad to get them. These items could be of use instead of sitting there, rusting, decaying, and of no use to anyone.

    Ethan that was incredible, A self contain party mansion i could see that top part middle section being some sort of a mini chapel/ church to host all the Italian weddings the top right section looked like it could be the place where they held huge banquet. Then the bottom section was like boom the reception dancing floor and indoor entertainment area for the bambinis. Another great find Ethan.

    I know late to the party but I always wish that they would at least reclaim before destroy. I'd love to buy that crownmoulding, maybe not the chandeliers in this one but some of theme have been beautiful. There are people that would take away fixtures for free and and probably resell them than rather go to waste. Countertops, appliances, decor, can all go to habitat for humanity for resale instead of just plowing it down
