The year is 1983. Joe Silva and his family just moved into their custom 7000sqft dream home in Bowmanville Ontario. Joe was a businessman and owned Durham Building Supplies, while also holding the position of president at Ventury Homes. No expense was spared on their dream house. Its Quality of construction, finishes and attention to detail were top-notch, highly exceeding the homes built today. His family lived in the home for 10 years, selling it to the Haynes Family in 1993 for roughly 455,000. They lived in the home for a short time listing it for sale once again in 2001 for 700k. The home changed hands again to the Bolahood family in 2002. They lived in the home until 2018. A developer offered to purchase the home for 4 million dollars and they took it. Sitting vacant at this point for a few years, the home was nearly destroyed by an arson attempt. The suspect broke into the basement and poured gasoline on the floor, stairs, and walls. It was a raging fire, but thankfully, the fire department was able to get it under control before it destroyed the entire house. It's clear that over the 40 years the home stood, each family took pride in it. The house was always maintained, and never really changed inside, leaving it a near-perfect 1980s time capsule. The development plan is to construct 190 townhouses and 53 single detached homes in its place. This plan has already begun, starting with the homes demolition at the end of 2023. Today it sits as a flat empty lot like it never existed at all.
