I don't even know where to start. This place was amazing and I would go back again anytime. I will leave the description to GS who does a great job ;)

From Ground State:

This property WAS one of the top three residential explorations of Niagara. The untouched, fully furnished house is filled with Hungarian antiquities, many of which are in pristine condition. This is a house with a very high re-visit value. Every drawer - every single inch of the place - holds new discoveries waiting for the next explorer, and it would be impossible to see it all in one visit.

Arpad Szabo was somewhat reclusive and had no children. His curiosity for designing things did not end with his aeronautical engineering career at Fleet Canada; this property is filled with custom metal work that includes bridges and weird rusting sculptures soaring up into the trees. The house itself is a custom-built, all cement structure with an interior that was never fully finished. Szabo preferred to adorn the unfinished walls with tapestries and live simple. If one can get over the tidal wave smell of dry rot and raccoon urine, they can take a peek back on the life of Arpad Szabo: airplane enthusiast, massive VHS and vinyl record collector, lover of books and starving-artist paintings, and definite enjoyer of a wide diversity of hard liquor.

This location no longer resembles the one seen here it has since been remodled and looks fairly modern with nice landscapeing to boot. It is now very much lived in wish I could have seen it before this.

A man who said he was the owner, he seemed real pissed off, blocked our car right in. I guess lots of people kept breaking in.

I think this location may be no more. Went there yesterday and there was a car and truck in the driveway, as well as a large dumpster.
