haha nice find
$750,000 is still probably more than I'd pay for that bland piece of shit tho. The design and spatial planning of that house was completed by someone without a hint of training, taste or sense. Not to say it wouldn't be a nice place to live, but if you know anything about architectural / interior design, you'd go nuts in that place - every ill considered room, narrow hallway and plastered-over fireplace makes it obvious that it was commissioned by some fool with more money than taste.
The listing doesn't say anything about the leaking roof, mold and complete lack of interior wiring either....maybe you could talk em down on the price :p

I wonder if they're gunna do an open house or something

They don't mention the mold but cover for it be saying a blanket "needs some work". I can't imagine paying $750K for it even if I had that kind of $$$.

You'd be surprised to see how many people have a lot of money and consider houses like this one 'elegant'. I particularly like how the agent says something along the lines that houses like this one can only be seen in movies; yeah - porn.

Thanks man. I know how slow 56k is and I would have died. Hasn't the pope been to that Cathedral or does it being Slovak prevent that?

I like how it doesn't say the whole house is destroyed. I would pay $100,000k for that house and fix it up, sell it for $3 million

Well nice shots cereal those are all some interesting locations and I have been to all of them a couple of times since I live in the area. The Aurora house I believe are owned by developers possibly (Smart Center) and are just awaiting to be redeveloped. I made a return trip a couple of weeks ago and was amazed at all the damage that had been done recently.

I was also in the Pickering mansion a couple of years ago when it was still in great condition before the vandals and scrappers found it. It was actually still livable back then. I probably have some pics of the place, I will see if I can find them.

The little stone house in the last pics from your post is also very familiar to me I drive by it all the time but have never gone inside. It has been well boarded for years and because of its location I never bothered to check it out and it is very small too. The POE was only recently made I first noticed it over the Easter weekend when a friend and I were exploring. Actually a saw a young woman with her camera, returning to her car parked right in front of the house probably after exploring it. There probably isn't anything of much interest inside I would guess.

Yeah I also sort of live in the area abd was inside recently also as I drive by there almost daily. As soon as I saw the hole, I went and stopped in but had no camera.

The Aurora house, well somebody took it upon themselves to paint the stair case and half of the upstairs with while paint which was pretty funny and then wrote please remove dirty shoes close to the door. The main reason for reviving this thread is that the Mansion has been put up for sale for $750k which is amazingly expensive considering the shape of the house.

I saw the white stairs in the Aurora house too and there was one set of footprints on them before we got there otherwise they were very white. It took a minute to figure out why someone had done that but I figure it was probably for a photo shoot, which would be why they would have that sign up on the door as well, if it were a bigger shoot with lots of people on set.

Couldn't find the pics of the Pickering house but here is one from the Aurora house I thought was funny.

'And this one confirms that the properties are owned by Smart Centers (Walmart) as their sign can be seen from this window.

Everybody I take to that house freaks out and wants to leave once they see that doll. Did you ever see this picture on the 2nd floor?



There is also 2 houses just about 100 walk from here beside a certain gas station, have you been inside those yet?

I have pics of the Mansion but I never got in sadly but even if I did, it would have been too dark to see anything as all the windows were boarded up.

I am surprised there are so many abandoned houses in elegant Aurora. So weird.

Holy crap, the master bedroom of the mansion is 55 x 25 feet. That is H U G E.

Notice in the listing that it's heated by forced air PROPANE, meaning it has no gas service. It would cost a fortune to heat the place, that's for sure. It's also butt-ugly and waaay to expensive for what it is. No wonder it's still empty.

So much interesting stuff in this thread.

Why does the media publish the street address (with map) so that every loser with everything from spraypaint to guns or whatever can head right on over?

I have been to the second floor and that is not the only thing written on the walls in that room....

I haven't even bothered to check out the other two houses in that area yet because they look well boarded from the front but maybe I should have look see before they are gone.

I have 56k dial-up, and I made it! And those are some cool pics. I've heard and read right here, many different stories about the Cathedral. I've even heard that the original owner is buried in the basement. And as for those punks acting tough with their red riders, those pics of Picard & Riker sums it up for those of us with grey matter between our ears, not to mention I was pissin' myself laughing!
