I agree, Got some very positive vibes from this place. That storage room upstairs, with the wide plank floors and holding the old screen doors, felt very familiar to me. There was one door leaning against the wall on the right side - the one with the fancy fret work - that I swear came right out of somebody's home. Maybe a grand parent or someone else. I can't place it exactly but I swear the room feels familiar from long, long ago. Thanks for finding it and sharing it with us!
Mamie Bobb I watch these and have the same sensation that I’ve been there before and then I realize that I am just old enough that many homes I went in as a kid were still like that. But it always gives me this comfortable, safe feeling....I guess because it takes me back to childhood and for me childhood was good.
If I had the money, I’d hire the This Old House guys and let them restore that house to its’ original look, with a few modern updates. How peaceful and an incredible view.
Yes, it's a shame . I use to live in a farmhouse from 1875 and it had character . Loved the doors , the framing , the cherry fireplace etc. Beautiful attic too .
That television set was a Motorola from 1957-59. This house hasn’t been lived in since at least the mid 70’s Thank you, Kappy. Stay safe from the COVID-19 . Johnny from Montreal, Canada 🌈🌎☮️🌺👍😉❤️
One can imagine how lovely this house once was. And where it is located is absolutely breathtaking. Like you, I love the view from that kitchen window and could spend hours glued to that one spot.
would not have been easy access. certainly out in the middle of nowhere. only nice view in the day time. at night....take me back to town and civilization. looks like the setting of a horror movie.
I think I love pretty much everything about this place...the intricate moldings, the delicate features of the ceiling fixtures, the gorgeous staircase, the vintage articles left behind...could go on forever. Even in it's tired old state, it presents itself beautifully. What a sweet explore! Thanks for taking us along, Kappy. Cheers and Happy Spring from Eastern Canada.
When my husband and I first heard your voice, we looked at each other and said, that's Ryan talking. That's our son-in-law up in Indiana. But of course it wasn't him! It's was you! I called my daughter and told her to listen. She said when did you get Ryan talking and who is he talking too. Long story short! Ya'll are voice twins! I love what you do man! History is wonderful and exciting! We live in a log cabin. 1820 to 1840. My mother moved it to our property in 1973. This the 3rd place it's been since it was hand hune in the early 1820s. We must do all we can to preserve history. It's disappearing fast. When it's gone it wouldn't be coming back! Thank you for your hard work! Don't stop!
What a lovely place this must have been when first built. Attention to detail that is shown in the detail of some of the door knobs and the “gingerbread” trim on the porch shows that somebody cared when house was built. At least the vultures didn’t find you this time-just mubdaubers 😊. Thanks for taking us with you. Stay safe and healthy!!
It was fun to see the old logo from Montgomery Ward on the “Signature” chest freezer. Had a part-time job there in high school in the 70’s. Rural folk used the Montgomery Ward catalog a lot to order things back in the day. Beautiful land around there, thanks Kappy!
It's heartbreaking to see these beautiful homes in ruins. If only the walls could speak and tell us about what they have seen through the years, and what ultimately happened.
GORGEOUS!!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS!!! I know I say this all the time but this is my favorite so far. It has such a “ grand” feel to it. I could see myself living in then home. Thanks Kappy for sharing. Please continue to stay safe!
Even though it was old and abandoned, this house had a time stood still feel to it... kind of as if it weren't old an abandoned, if that makes any sense. Just chock full of treasures!!!
Well said! Me too! Something about that house seems so comforting. So easy to think of feeling safe, loved, and secure there. You just don't want to let it go.❤
About 4 yrs ago, myself and a friend, found this house, there was just something special about it. I took a few still shots, and to this day, i still like it. When i saw the video, i immediately knew i had been there. Great video
I love this house for some reason!! Beautiful view! I wouldn’t get anything done!!! A porch and a swing facing that view and I’d be in heaven! Thank you for the distraction! Be safe!
The handyman that left those old tools there put in mind of my late husband, the whole look and feel of this place! It's got him written all over it! Awww its beautiful!
Thanks my friend for sharing with me this video about beautiful 138 year old Abandoned house in the blue ridge mountains kappy thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it and i can't wait to see your next video and God Bless and thanks again.
I look around me now, in my home and I have to wonder. Will someone be wondering about who used to live here? And what stories could be told? It is amazing for me to imagine that someone’s hand touched every single piece of wood that it took to build that home. It was someone’s dream. Look at it now.
Such a Grand Old Lady...wouldn't You Love to know her memories...see everything she's seen. It Breaks my heart to watch your videos, but...I still watch. So Heartbreaking no one cares about these beautiful buildings any longer.
The fact that people watch and want to see these old houses shows to me that people out there still care, just not the owners unfortunately or there’s a lack of funds. Thanks for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I could see someone getting a realtor license, not actively selling but connecting motivated buyers with those who own homes like these not knowing what they are worth.
Those metal beds are all the rage again now. My grandson has one very similar but it’s new. Loved that carved headboard. I remember those sinks with the soap dish on top. What a neat find. Alas doesn’t appear to have an indoor bathroom. Always love to see how those get added in. Cool 2nd set of stairs. Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing ❤️
This was an incredible video. I love old homes like this. I grew up in an 1826 home in Ohio that my family restored and left 90 percent original (had to upgrade windows and some of the foundation) but it had the original front door, door knobs and hinges, even had the creek stone foundation still intact in many places. Hand built arched door, 9 feet tall with red circular stained glass in the top of the arch. This reminded me so much of that house. Thank you so much for filming this and being so respectful to this piece of history. I live in Western North Carolina now and went thru Hugh school in Blue Ridge and this home is one of hundreds that are abandoned in this area of the same age and style. You got another subscriber with me and I can’t wait to see your new videos!
That beautiful view! Imagine waking up every morning to that. Soap dishes on top of faucets used to be very common. Would love to have that sink. It's funny....some old houses leave me feeling sad or even creeped out a little......this one, even though it was obviously used for storage after the family was gone, gave off kind of happy, content vibes. Probably very loving, happy people once lived there. Thank you for an interesting explore!
I really, really like that house. Yes, it is old... those piled stone pillars and stripped log supports for the 1st floor just blow my mind. The place had a lot of thoughtful, personalized storage for organization. I bet this was a well loved family home with a view you would know like the back of your hand. ❤
What a nice location! Can't beat the beautiful country around this house. So green and plush, with the sounds of nature. Nice old house too, albeit falling apart but it must have been a great place to call home back in the day! Can't beat these old farm houses!! Such sturdy places!!
I think a young man built this charming house for his young bride with love and added all the feminine touches to make her feel instantly at home! I’m sure they raised a lovely family in this house. This is definitely one house that needs to be fixed up and lived in again! Thanks for showing us this sweet house. Wish I could buy it! Take care and stay safe!!
That view was so gorgeous and I agree I could look o out all day long too! We had a TV like that in the mid 50's. The bed's headboard and door knobs and the fancy lighting fixture was awesome. Thanks for sharing
I'm normally a city person,,but those view and that tranquility are amazing,,I can imagine how beautiful this house was,,love your videos,,keep up the good work!,,god bless
You continue to find the most interesting locations , beautiful homes, and are the best at respecting and filming them !! Thank u , I appreciate your work very much !!
I was so happy to see a new one from you! Those doors with the ornate hardware were so fine - I could just imagine getting them sanded and some kind of blaster to remove the rust and putting them back up. Oh and that kitchen sink was to die for. I'd do my kitchen around it - find an old refurbished stove to go with it. I'm coming off COVID19 and you got my mind to go elsewhere. You're a doll, Kappy. Thank you!
I picture a short grannie, cooking for her family. Picture her burying deceased loved one who gre up in the house. Probably 4 or 5 kids. Pictured farm produce being shelled on the screened front porch which probably had a couple old rockers on it. So many good memories were made there.
Very large old house. A few dollars in scrap metal. The doors could be restored and make very beautiful additions in renoing. And that view! Fantastic! All in all I love the woodwork. And think this would make my top ten for saving.
Love so many features of this house, especially the main staircase, bay window, and that kitchen sink! And the view from the back window is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the tour!
That's the part the explorers never mention. I appreciate what they do but it would be nice to know the history of these places and have some of the architectural features explained. At least this one is more interesting than the ones where they explore a house full of 20 year old trash and keep saying "wow, insane and incredible" when the see a TV that isn't flatscreen.
Your back! Yeah! Love this house, I can imagine how beautiful this one was. My kind of house! Thanks Kappy for making my quarantine a little less boring! Stay safe!
Hope u see this - You should watch, Diaries of a Chateau on You Tube. This woman bought an old chateu in France and is restoring it. She has volunteers come stay and work and has family stay...it's so much fun. It has really helped pass the days on lickdown
Viewer from Sweden here. Beautiful house and surroundings. Dreamlike. Images of the families and all life some 60 or 100 years ago come to my mind. But life is still there in the wonderful landscape and birds. I love to find places like that during roadtrips in Sweden (just different building styles). Sometimes the inhabitants left for "Amerika". Melancholy sets in but the sweet kind - life goes on. Would love to do roadtrips in the states. "country roads" playing.. ;)
Hello Kappy, those views are to die for, I would have loved to live there when this lovely old house was at its best,absolutely gorgeous. Hope you are keeping well. Stay safe
I like this house very much, feel bad it was used as a storage shed for crap no one wanted. Needs a lot of help but it could be awesome again. Thanks, Kappy
A lot of that crap is actually very valuable to collectors and decorators. If the old glass in the windows are starting to become "wavy" it could be sold for about 50-100$ per pane.
The front door if you noticed someone took the original glass out and installed an actual window seal into and in place of the glass into that frame on the door in which that glass was missing now also but I havent seen that. maybe the glass broke and living so far out couldnt replace it easily so put an actual window sash in its place for good or thinking temporarily until they could replace it which that day did not dawn. Also off topic did you notice that chesnut (American chesnut which is extinct today as only Asian chesnut grows here now a blight killed it in 1920s. but American chesnut looked so much like oak. And there is the chesnut oak itself. A type of oak that looks a lot like it to so it could be oak, American chesnut or chesnut oak - there are a very few American chesnuts left here in Western NC but they do not live long and do not produce chesnuts or seeds like they are supposed to. Many early pioneers built log homes out of american chesnut as they were so big and grew so tall and straight) But the headboard from the top of steps notice the legs were missing....this was so common I have seen it dozens of times here as so many did this. As times progressed and stuff got old and out of style. Those high back beds folks would cut the headboard legs off and usually toss the headboard they cut off.. if you can imagine or burn it. And use the bottom of it as the new footboard and the old foot board which was average or tall as normal beds today as the new headboard as they were usually carved and pretty to. I have seen so many high back beds done this way in this area. And seeing the headboards today (that were originally the footboards) how gorgeous and carved they are usually with a scroll all the way across the top one can only imagine how gorgeous and detailed the original headboard they cut off was with an even large scroll atop it and ecanthas leaf carved moldings and detail.Those high back oak beds were not for wealthy folks back then they were average sears and rob. beds around 1900 sold for 2.75 cent and not the one in this house in video but much nicer ones than that. So there were so many of them around. And now around here they sell for 300 to 1000 bucks so imagine all those that were cut off and tossed or the ones that were completely thrown out or burned in yard or for heating. Crazy. Like us tossing out used furniture today of course of much much less quality , craftsmanship & material it isnt worth saving as thiings that were made then which were all of solid wood . Sorry to ramble I am detailed about history and teach it for a local college so easy to get trailed off on any history topic from beds, trees, to houses lol so if you read this, thanks for your time.
The architecture of the home from the outside is so pretty. My aunt had a sink in her old kitchen like the one you found with the old faucets and soap dish. Beautiful carvings on the headboard, always love the porches, especially on the 2nd floor. Great old house!
That is such beautiful scenery at 6:25 not to mention the house is gorgeous. I can see it was grand back in the day!! As always, good find, it was just beautiful!! Too bad it's beyond repair. The foundations always amaze me the way it's built up on rocks. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place!! Be safe out there! Peace, Kim ~
You should scout around these homes outside. This time of year you may find spring flowering perennials. Give you an idea of how the outside, gardens and landscaping, was laid out. I've stumbled upon lilacs and daffodils literally in the middle of nowhere.
that usually means it was a residence at one time. The woods in Pa. are loaded with the remnants of old towns long gone...the tell tale mark is all the shrubs and flowers left behind.
That would be a awesome place to restore. I could see myself sitting on that wonderful porch in a rocking chair. Getting up and down the stairs would be another matter. Some interesting things left in there. Stay safe and have a blessed day.
Oh my! Happy? I just "stumbled" on to your site! I'm so glad I did! You do an excellent job of exploring! Very smooth with camera, your voice is easy to listen to, you show appreciation and respect to someone's property! I'm all subscribed, and the bell will ring! Thanks so very much! BTW, my parents still live in the same farmhouse I grew up in(ages 90 & 91), married 69 years! And, my hubby & I are 4th generation in our farmhouse! We enjoy the woodwork, doors & door knobs, and all of the other "good old homey feel" of days gone by. Counting our blessings our descendants seem interested in becoming caretakers of these homes when we move on to our heavenly ones! Evidently the descendants in the case if this old home decided to invest in newer architecture. Sad!
Pretty old house. The bay windows must have made that room really beautiful. And what a gorgeous view! Ive always wanted a house with hidden stairs very cool. Great find Kappy love it!
Oh I just love those windows! On a rainy day and a cup of coffee I would be like one of those toys with suction cups for hands and feet -- staring out into that beautiful landscape.
One thing I admire most about your videos is that you don’t touch or disrespect the items that have been left behind. You simply just give us a view of what used to be. Keep it up brotha
I’m going to take a guess and assume no one has lived there since the 1970s. Who ever owns the land used it as storage and now he’s long gone to. That metal roof has helped keep it standing longer than it should have.
The bay window with the rod iron bed frame was my favorite. Tough old house should be lived in not used as storage. No bathroom? That view is to die for. Great find Kappy. Stay safe n healthy. GB
That house had some beautiful views. The one window in the kitchen, I’m like you. I could have stood or sit looking out that window for days. And the view looking out from the upper front porch was just as breathtaking. I can imagine that house restored with me living in it. Perfect peace and quiet. Thanks for sharing this house. 👍
Thank you for taking me along with you to this wonderful old home . So sad to see it used for storage and I am sure who ever was doing that is probably left it behind as well . Such wonderful wood work in this home. Looked to me someone was working on this at one time . In my opinion it would take alot of money but it would be worth it ! Loved that upstairs porch you could almost see a older woman sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket on her lap rocking softly . GREAT video Kappy I just love theses videos !
I have a house I found like that in Maine. 19 years later it’s lovely and still almost totally original. Except I put plumbing in for the first time. It’s not for everyone but I love an old house!
Oh man, I was picturing each room as it would have been, except with my stuff in it. That was fun. It’s like in my head I know the lady of the house or something. I love her pantry. Haha. When you first went in , I immediately thought “ok, the parlor is on the left” the. I wondered why I always assume the parlor was on the left. Then I remembered that as a kid, the only person I knew who lived in a house that old had her parlor on the left. It was like a 1 & 1/2 story house. And the stairs were hidden in the kitchen or close to it....I’m really stretching back into my memory here. My mama always said that was the rich side of the family, meaning they had a parlor and running water in the 1940’s. My mama grew up with an outhouse so it was like the 1950’s. That cousin was actually my grandmother’s first cousin and that house sat over the train tracks in Jasper Ga and was built sometime in the late 1800’s...maybe even turn of the last century. There was once a train wreck and they brought the wounded and the dead to their front two rooms. It was like most houses back then, it had that center hallway. Of course my crazy aunt always swore that the parlor was haunted by the dead from that train wreck so I was scared to go in the parlor. It’s still standing and in good shape. Someone else owns it and I haven’t been there in probably 30 years. I’d have been about 12 or 13 then. The faucet on that farmhouse sink (that would be worth so much now) was awesome! The sink on my Grandpaw’s back porch aka what they built on when they added a bathroom in the early 60’s....ish. Anyway, it had a faucet just like that till the day they tore it down 😢. I would have loved to have had that sink. Keep doing what you do, I love it!
I’m just amazed of this wonderful old house. I do wonder how the inside has gotten so bad in this home. Does this home belong to someone? Can someone purchase and refurbish this home? Beautiful countryside ❤️
The Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia is to me The most beautiful place in this country it’s like heaven on earth you weren’t kidding about the view were you in Virginia or one of the other states they reach?
Agreed definitely one of my favorites that I’ve filmed, any house witha second story porch is a great one in my opinion, I’ve gotten obsessed with trying to find them😂 thanks for watching!
I can just picture that grand old home with a family and children running around outside! Beautiful old home!
Thank you very much for watching!
I agree, Got some very positive vibes from this place. That storage room upstairs, with the wide plank floors and holding the old screen doors, felt very familiar to me.

Yes it is a beautiful house but the damage is so extensive that it wouldn’t be worth it unless you had the money to blow
Ms. Rosann That’s why I said if I had the money. Old homes have character. Unlike the cookie cutter garbage built today.
Every house has potential, unless it’s literally “ crumbling “. That would be nice.
It ain't worth it no kind of way it's over now
James Sims Everyone’s entitles to their opinion.
I love the old kitchen sinks and the beautiful molding
If walls could talk. Could you imagine everything that has gone on inside this place since it was built? I bet it would fill a library!
It’s a damn shame that these old historical home are left this way
Val Zykan lmao
Yes, it's a shame . I use to live in a farmhouse from 1875 and it had character . Loved the doors , the framing , the cherry fireplace etc. Beautiful attic too .
If those walls could talk they would be fountains of knowledge.
You want to pay for it?
You can always buy it and fix it up. You can probably get for dirt cheap!!
That television set was a Motorola from 1957-59. This house hasn’t been lived in since at least the mid 70’s Thank you, Kappy. Stay safe from the COVID-19 . Johnny from Montreal, Canada 🌈🌎☮️🌺👍😉❤️

Shea Piland I would love to see the kitchen open up to a big porch or deck so one could really enjoy the gorgeous view!
Me too.
guess im not alone!
Seeing that view every morning and evening would be nice.
would not have been easy access. certainly out in the middle of nowhere. only nice view in the day time. at night....take me back to town and civilization. looks like the setting of a horror movie.
I grew up looking at the Blue Ridge Mtns. Watch this makes me long for home.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you choose to move?
It's beautiful...like a dream. To wake up and see that gorgeous land and trees outside your window would be wonderful.
Gorgeous very sad beautiful home left to rot thanks for the video
I think you are an old soul. Love the door hardware, and the staircase was so interesting.
I don't know how a pretty house like that is left abandoned those old houses are the best..
My guess is they could no longer make a living there.
I think I love pretty much everything about this place...the intricate moldings, the delicate features of the ceiling fixtures, the gorgeous staircase, the vintage articles left behind...could go on forever. Even in it's tired old state, it presents itself beautifully. What a sweet explore! Thanks for taking us along, Kappy. Cheers and Happy Spring from Eastern Canada.

It was fun to see the old logo from Montgomery Ward on the “Signature” chest freezer. Had a part-time job there in high school in the 70’s. Rural folk used the Montgomery Ward catalog a lot to order things back in the day.
Beautiful land around there, thanks Kappy!
The old catalogs were good for other things also.
Did you end up peeking inside the freezer to see if anyone(thing) was inside?
It's heartbreaking to see these beautiful homes in ruins. If only the walls could speak and tell us about what they have seen through the years, and what ultimately happened.
usually not enough income for upkeep, I'd speculate... likely enough.
well maybe not the walls
but the Demons can

Loved it!
Thanks Kappy

Agreed! Thank you for watching!
What a great house . For being somewhat “ quaint “ , it’s actually adorable. The detail on the knob plates , that was very ornate.
Thank you Kappy.
The handyman that left those old tools there put in mind of my late husband, the whole look and feel of this place! It's got him written all over it! Awww its beautiful!

Another great find even if the house is in rough shape. TV is from the late 50's and the radio is likely from the 30's. (It was upside down) lol
Wish I could’ve found something to date when it was last lived in but I’d guess atleast 30-40 years! Thank you for the info and thanks for watching!
The memories these homes must hold. Thank you so much Kappy for showing us these " once forgotten" homes. Be safe 🙂
What a beautiful old home!!! Has a pleasant feeling.
Agreed! Felt very nice inside the house! Could definitely be a home again! Thanks for watching
I like that old fashioned kitchen sink with the high back to catch the splashes. Thats a better design than the modern ones.
That was the same kind of sink my grandparents had, can still remember having to bath in it, hot water came from pots on the wood stove.
ruclips.net/video/bWu6g6R6r4g/видео.html
Thank you! That house was once so beautiful, the view still is.
Fantastic video! I love how you take your time and get up-close shots of details (moldings, door knobs, windows, etc.) That old sink is great!
For sure. I'd love to have it.

That view was so gorgeous and I agree I could look o out all day long too! We had a TV like that in the mid 50's. The bed's headboard and door knobs and the fancy lighting fixture was awesome. Thanks for sharing
I'm normally a city person,,but those view and that tranquility are amazing,,I can imagine how beautiful this house was,,love your videos,,keep up the good work!,,god bless
Oh my God! What a creepy awesome house. Fantastic tour. Thank you. Not many of houses like that still standing.
You continue to find the most interesting locations , beautiful homes, and are the best at respecting and filming them !! Thank u , I appreciate your work very much !!
I was so happy to see a new one from you! Those doors with the ornate hardware were so fine - I could just imagine getting them sanded and some kind of blaster to remove the rust and putting them back up. Oh and that kitchen sink was to die for. I'd do my kitchen around it - find an old refurbished stove to go with it. I'm coming off COVID19 and you got my mind to go elsewhere. You're a doll, Kappy. Thank you!
That sink was probably Acme as it looks like the one at the old farm.
I picture a short grannie, cooking for her family. Picture her burying deceased loved one who gre up in the house. Probably 4 or 5 kids. Pictured farm produce being shelled on the screened front porch which probably had a couple old rockers on it. So many good memories were made there.
Very large old house. A few dollars in scrap metal. The doors could be restored and make very beautiful additions in renoing. And that view! Fantastic! All in all I love the woodwork. And think this would make my top ten for saving.
Could you imagine this all fixed up, how beautiful. Walking in to good food cooking, I bet it was something
Love the view from kitchen window! Awesome!
Love so many features of this house, especially the main staircase, bay window, and that kitchen sink! And the view from the back window is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the tour!
Beautiful home back in its day. I would love to know the history.
Terry Anderson me too . It’s just a beautiful yet quaint little house. Those porches are awesome.
That's the part the explorers never mention. I appreciate what they do but it would be nice to know the history of these places and have some of the architectural features explained. At least this one is more interesting than the ones where they explore a house full of 20 year old trash and keep saying "wow, insane and incredible" when the see a TV that isn't flatscreen.
Your back! Yeah! Love this house, I can imagine how beautiful this one was. My kind of house! Thanks Kappy for making my quarantine a little less boring! Stay safe!
Hope u see this - You should watch, Diaries of a Chateau on You Tube. This woman bought an old chateu in France and is restoring it. She has volunteers come stay and work and has family stay...it's so much fun. It has really helped pass the days on lickdown
Viewer from Sweden here. Beautiful house and surroundings. Dreamlike. Images of the families and all life some 60 or 100 years ago come to my mind. But life is still there in the wonderful landscape and birds. I love to find places like that during roadtrips in Sweden (just different building styles). Sometimes the inhabitants left for "Amerika". Melancholy sets in but the sweet kind - life goes on. Would love to do roadtrips in the states. "country roads" playing.. ;)

For me.
Hello Kappy, those views are to die for, I would have loved to live there when this lovely old house was at its best,absolutely gorgeous. Hope you are keeping well. Stay safe
I like this house very much, feel bad it was used as a storage shed for crap no one wanted. Needs a lot of help but it could be awesome again. Thanks, Kappy
I agree, a waste of a well built home with history and character. It could still be saved.
A lot of that crap is actually very valuable to collectors and decorators. If the old glass in the windows are starting to become "wavy" it could be sold for about 50-100$ per pane.
The front door if you noticed someone took the original glass out and installed an actual window seal into and in place of the glass into that frame on the door in which that glass was missing now also but I havent seen that. maybe the glass broke and living so far out couldnt replace it easily so put an actual window sash in its place for good or thinking temporarily until they could replace it which that day did not dawn.
Also off topic did you notice that chesnut (American chesnut which is extinct today as only Asian chesnut grows here now a blight killed it in 1920s. but American chesnut looked so much like oak. And there is the chesnut oak itself. A type of oak that looks a lot like it to so it could be oak, American chesnut or chesnut oak - there are a very few American chesnuts left here in Western NC but they do not live long and do not produce chesnuts or seeds like they are supposed to. Many early pioneers built log homes out of american chesnut as they were so big and grew so tall and straight) But the headboard from the top of steps notice the legs were missing....this was so common I have seen it dozens of times here as so many did this. As times progressed and stuff got old and out of style. Those high back beds folks would cut the headboard legs off and usually toss the headboard they cut off.. if you can imagine or burn it. And use the bottom of it as the new footboard and the old foot board which was average or tall as normal beds today as the new headboard as they were usually carved and pretty to. I have seen so many high back beds done this way in this area. And seeing the headboards today (that were originally the footboards) how gorgeous and carved they are usually with a scroll all the way across the top one can only imagine how gorgeous and detailed the original headboard they cut off was with an even large scroll atop it and ecanthas leaf carved moldings and detail.Those high back oak beds were not for wealthy folks back then they were average sears and rob. beds around 1900 sold for 2.75 cent and not the one in this house in video but much nicer ones than that. So there were so many of them around. And now around here they sell for 300 to 1000 bucks so imagine all those that were cut off and tossed or the ones that were completely thrown out or burned in yard or for heating. Crazy. Like us tossing out used furniture today of course of much much less quality , craftsmanship & material it isnt worth saving as thiings that were made then which were all of solid wood .
Sorry to ramble I am detailed about history and teach it for a local college so easy to get trailed off on any history topic from beds, trees, to houses lol so if you read this, thanks for your time.
What a peaceful and quiet area. The views are stunning and I would have sit on the second floor balcony and enjoyed those views and peace and quiet.
The architecture of the home from the outside is so pretty. My aunt had a sink in her old kitchen like the one you found with the old faucets and soap dish. Beautiful carvings on the headboard, always love the porches, especially on the 2nd floor. Great old house!
That is such beautiful scenery at 6:25 not to mention the house is gorgeous. I can see it was grand back in the day!! As always, good find, it was just beautiful!! Too bad it's beyond repair. The foundations always amaze me the way it's built up on rocks. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place!! Be safe out there! Peace, Kim ~
You should scout around these homes outside. This time of year you may find spring flowering perennials. Give you an idea of how the outside, gardens and landscaping, was laid out. I've stumbled upon lilacs and daffodils literally in the middle of nowhere.
So hes there for the decay bwahahahaha lol
@GPAGE i guess if flowers are your thing thats cool i guess living in oregon i see that stuff on the norm.there prettty but im.not digging them up
@GPAGE good find, you know they are so acclimated to the area they're extremely hardy.
@GPAGE yep i know lucky u ☺🌸🌸good on u saving the plants too
that usually means it was a residence at one time. The woods in Pa. are loaded with the remnants of old towns long gone...the tell tale mark is all the shrubs and flowers left behind.
Nice old house. Awesome location!! Thanks!! 👍
That's a heart breaker! You can just imagine the family(s) that lived there and if only walls could talk, the stories they could tell!!
That would be a awesome place to restore. I could see myself sitting on that wonderful porch in a rocking chair. Getting up and down the stairs would be another matter. Some interesting things left in there. Stay safe and have a blessed day.
Oh my! Happy? I just "stumbled" on to your site! I'm so glad I did! You do an excellent job of exploring! Very smooth with camera, your voice is easy to listen to, you show appreciation and respect to someone's property! I'm all subscribed, and the bell will ring! Thanks so very much! BTW, my parents still live in the same farmhouse I grew up in(ages 90 & 91), married 69 years! And, my hubby & I are 4th generation in our farmhouse! We enjoy the woodwork, doors & door knobs, and all of the other "good old homey feel" of days gone by. Counting our blessings our descendants seem interested in becoming caretakers of these homes when we move on to our heavenly ones! Evidently the descendants in the case if this old home decided to invest in newer architecture. Sad!
Pretty old house. The bay windows must have made that room really beautiful. And what a gorgeous view! Ive always wanted a house with hidden stairs very cool. Great find Kappy love it!
Love all these old homes, enjoy watching all your videos Kappy...
Oh I just love those windows! On a rainy day and a cup of coffee I would be like one of those toys with suction cups for hands and feet -- staring out into that beautiful landscape.
Sad,brittle,dried out, decaying,house,people gone,memories gone,only thing left,a beautiful view.thanks Kappy.keep well.
One thing I admire most about your videos is that you don’t touch or disrespect the items that have been left behind. You simply just give us a view of what used to be. Keep it up brotha
I’m going to take a guess and assume no one has lived there since the 1970s. Who ever owns the land used it as storage and now he’s long gone to. That metal roof has helped keep it standing longer than it should have.
Based on the 1960s mattress, I agree
I think it hadn't been lived in since the late 1950s ...very early 1960's.
he weighed it down too much...its not a barn nor a garage...nor a storage shed...not made for any of that.
So sad to see such a grand old house in that state. Seems like they started to use it as a storage shed.
or an old barn.
That view is amazing. I lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains and loved every moment. The kitchen sink!!!! Looks like a spring house there also.
This has probably been my fave house yet. It had really good energy. I bet that it was beautiful!!! So much attention to detail!!!👍👍👍
Thank you for showing the rosettes on the window and door frames. That is the first thing I look for. Great tour as always.
The bay window with the rod iron bed frame was my favorite. Tough old house should be lived in not used as storage. No bathroom? That view is to die for. Great find Kappy. Stay safe n healthy. GB
Very nice place. Main part of the house is very much a candidate for restoration. Great location and view.
Thank you for showing us a grand old home. It is very much appreciated. The views are spectacular.
Beautiful 2nd story porch.
That house had some beautiful views. The one window in the kitchen, I’m like you. I could have stood or sit looking out that window for days. And the view looking out from the upper front porch was just as breathtaking. I can imagine that house restored with me living in it. Perfect peace and quiet. Thanks for sharing this house. 👍
beautiful old home and very nice decay.
Thank you for taking me along with you to this wonderful old home . So sad to see it used for storage and I am sure who ever was doing that is probably left it behind as well . Such wonderful wood work in this home. Looked to me someone was working on this at one time . In my opinion it would take alot of money but it would be worth it ! Loved that upstairs porch you could almost see a older woman sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket on her lap rocking softly . GREAT video Kappy I just love theses videos !
What a beautiful old place and what a view,so peaceful
Love this old farmhouse. Thanks for sharing it!
Beautyful old home. Allways sad to see these historical houses just left like that. Great work filming this one! :)
Wow ... it’s a shame this house wasn’t restored. I would love to know the history of it . Thank you for the video ,great job.
Had to watch this one again! I simply love this old house! I think its my favorite one. And the outside view is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you for documented our American heritage.
Great video thank You
I have a house I found like that in Maine. 19 years later it’s lovely and still almost totally original. Except I put plumbing in for the first time. It’s not for everyone but I love an old house!
Beautiful home... Too bad it wasn't kept up... Just beautiful and with those views...😍💓
Oh man, I was picturing each room as it would have been, except with my stuff in it. That was fun. It’s like in my head I know the lady of the house or something. I love her pantry. Haha. When you first went in , I immediately thought “ok, the parlor is on the left” the. I wondered why I always assume the parlor was on the left. Then I remembered that as a kid, the only person I knew who lived in a house that old had her parlor on the left. It was like a 1 & 1/2 story house. And the stairs were hidden in the kitchen or close to it....I’m really stretching back into my memory here. My mama always said that was the rich side of the family, meaning they had a parlor and running water in the 1940’s. My mama grew up with an outhouse so it was like the 1950’s. That cousin was actually my grandmother’s first cousin and that house sat over the train tracks in Jasper Ga and was built sometime in the late 1800’s...maybe even turn of the last century. There was once a train wreck and they brought the wounded and the dead to their front two rooms. It was like most houses back then, it had that center hallway. Of course my crazy aunt always swore that the parlor was haunted by the dead from that train wreck so I was scared to go in the parlor. It’s still standing and in good shape. Someone else owns it and I haven’t been there in probably 30 years. I’d have been about 12 or 13 then. The faucet on that farmhouse sink (that would be worth so much now) was awesome! The sink on my Grandpaw’s back porch aka what they built on when they added a bathroom in the early 60’s....ish. Anyway, it had a faucet just like that till the day they tore it down 😢. I would have loved to have had that sink. Keep doing what you do, I love it!
Wonderful old place. Glorious in it's day...
I’m just amazed of this wonderful old house. I do wonder how the inside has gotten so bad in this home. Does this home belong to someone? Can someone purchase and refurbish this home? Beautiful countryside ❤️
Hello Kappy🙂I love the front of that place in the outside especially up top...great find again I love the places you find🙂💜
The Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia is to me The most beautiful place in this country it’s like heaven on earth you weren’t kidding about the view were you in Virginia or one of the other states they reach?
Take me home, country roads,.... to the place where I belong.....
I'm Aussie,and dearly want to drive these roads in the fall
Great video Kappy, it seems criminal to let something so beautiful go to waste.. thanx for the glimpse into the past all the best from the uk 🇬🇧
Wow this was truly a beautiful home...my favorite...thanks for finding it and sharing..keep up the amazing work that you do
Agreed definitely one of my favorites that I’ve filmed, any house witha second story porch is a great one in my opinion, I’ve gotten obsessed with trying to find them😂 thanks for watching!
@@urbanexploringwithkappy1773 I always watch...be safe
I like it when you say, "it's beautiful" and "it's pretty".
Stunning home! Thank you for sharing. 💖❤️👍🏼🙂
