- Hey house lovers and explorers! :-) Thanks 'Tamara" for the tip off :-)
This video we take a look through 3 homes with the first an immaculate and great example of contemporary 50`s design which could be considered mid century modern without being to over the top futuristic.
The home has been well maintained and most likely a long time owner who really loved the place but unfortunately now the property is in the hands of developers and it`s future is doomed with new plans for this site.
The second 2 homes are also in great condition are are both late 20`s bungalows. These homes I have had on file for a few years now. Both seem to have attempts and renovations but again a better offer to give up and sell was evident.
Hope you all enjoy the tours. Thanks for watching :-)
Pomegranates in the first tree. I don't agree with lame' curtains. They are what we used to call antique satin. I just don't understand tearing down perfectly fine houses. Progress!! I do love your videos!
Hi Nancy, the curtains were rough but soft to touch and felt like good quality :-) Yeah these homes should be retained , thanks for watching :-)
I agree - pomegranates and antique satin draperies.
Yes and second tree Quince. Delicious poached and perfect for picking now when they are big and yellow. They were just about ready!
Yes, I hate unecessary wasteage!
Thanks for the upload Paul. What a beautiful 50s home. Never get bored of these gorgeous old homes, with so much character 😄👍
Glad you enjoyed it John, cheers for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 In your description in English when your referring to how many or the number, the correct spelling is TWO not TO. Good day lad.
First home appears very solid, a possible easy renovation project to update and return to its former glory. The backyard us huge, understandable an attraction for developers looking for maximum returns on investment. Shame it isn't a corner allotment as the previous owners could of subdivided the block, possibly saving the orginal home. My parents live in rural SA and their home, built in the 50's but regularly renovated, has a very similar sized yard. Not unusual for their suburb or the era. Great for young kids, grand kids running wild, teenage parties and storage of vehicles, usually against Dads wishes. Dad has now build a massive workshop for vehicle restorations in his retirement. Great memories ! Second home is in a similar position. Little structural damage or failures but huge backyard, which is the real selling point of both properties. Another unfortunate loss. Another great explore Paul.👍👍🇭🇲
Cheers for watching again Andrew! Sounds like your Dad has got it all sorted! :-) Yep the developers were not going to let this one pass by haha. by 2050 front and back yards will be in the history books. Oh and in wealthy burbs! :-) Cheers mate
This house a beautiful and clean. All it would need is a good cleaning and people
could move right in. I didn’t see anything wrong with this home. The real estate
photos were beautiful. Just a note, in the USA it is not uncommon to have a
half bathroom right off the front door. Some of the videos I have seen in Canada
some of them do too. Another great video. Thanks for showing us this beauty.
Stay safe out there and don’t get caught going in these abandon places.
Give your kitty cat, Noah a kiss for me.🐈
Yes. In U.S. some have half baths where company can potty and not use your private bath.
Good morning Paul,loved all three homes ,the first one ,loved that backyard and fruit trees like that quince tree and those beautiful pomegranates ,sad that no-one picks them up ,as always great video and beautiful homes ready for ugly concrete jungle,to take over , until next Sunday have a great week ,big 🤗 from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺
Hi Frenchy Francoise :-) Thanks for the info on the fruit trees, so cool :-) Glad you enjoyed again, thanks for watching :-)
Nipple fruit! 1:48 🤣 It may not be everyone's cup-of-tea but, I love the modern architecture style of this era.
Good call on the fruit OW :-) I do like these 50`s homes too, they deviate nicely from the Austerity period in the 40`s :-)
I'm so jealous of that first backyard 💚 I've always dreamed of having the space for a glasshouse and I hope someone picks those lovely quinces before the birds get them lol
One thing about these older homes is they allowed for real storage unlike the new homes with poky laundries and bedrooms so unrealistic for families - another great one Paul - thank you xxx
I liked the led glass over the doors in the 2nd house. Thank you for the video of the 3 homes.
Three nice houses, but I really liked the last two. The second one had lots of lovely, interesting features with the leaded glass, pocket doors, etc., but the last one just had a cheerful feel about it.
Thanks for these - I’m loving your midweek additions, too!
I love the high door knob positions in this house.
Ngôi nhà có sân vườn , thật tuyệt vời , ngôi nhà trong mơ bạn ah
Imagine familys growing up in that first home! with room as big as a footy oval to run around. The barbies with backyard cricket.....
I absolutely loved the bungalows!! As its great to see them, but know that there goes another one😥
Yep thats what I was imagining with that back yard too Prue :-) Cheers for watching
I would have called the curtains "chintz", which is a polished cotton or polyester fabric.... Quite popular in the '60s.
The fruit tree at the beginning of the video was a pomegranate, the apple looking thing in the back looks like a quince ...
Sad to see such a nice homes go. 😢
Not to mention the classic dying smoke alarm. 😂🤣
Hi Patti :-) yeah the fabric was rough but soft to touch. Thanks for the info and for watching :-)
I agree with pomegranate in the front and quince in the back. But chintz was smooth with no slubs…
Cute older home and clean. Looks like it was taken care of. Thanks Paul, stay safe. ☮️
The toilet right by the front door is a very common feature here in the UK - referred to as a cloakroom. The first bedroom in particular was about the size of a bedroom in most crappy new builds here too! 🤣 The floors were amazing and that huge garden was heavenly.
Wow those 3 houses were perfect it's a shame they are getting demolished
Hi Simon :-) Yep. more development of ugly homes...... yay.... Cheers for watching :-)
What a beautiful house!... Thank you very much Urbex Índigo and very good job friend 👍
Hi BOJORGES :-) Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)
Nice ceiling medallions in the 2nd one as well as the unusual door knobs. Liked the 1st one too. I like seeing homes like these rather than the ones that are rotting away and vandalized. Who sings the intro music...Rudy Valley maybe?
Those curtains could be considered made of lame [lah-MAY] fabric 8:03 That 1/2 bath off the front entry would be considered a 'powder room' 10:00 here in the States. Basically, for when you're entertaining guests and serving copious libations as a place to relieve themselves without having to traipse throughout the entire house to the other bathrooms. Or, for the ladies to 'powder their noses' which had an altogether different connotation in the 1940s versus the 1980s! 😁
Cheers OW. was quite rough to touch but soft also.
Lame has metallic threads. Antique satin has a definite sheen and what are called “slubs” or thicker raised threads, sort of irregularly spaced, running through it. The fabric is usually cut and placed so that the slubs run horizontally.
It is sad to lose the history and use of these old homes, Australia seems bent on removing that portion of it's past so it can develop high density housing. While they achieve a false economy on infrastructure, outlay They cause other problems, I for one would find that unpleasant, UN-liveable and annoying, Living in someone else's pocket is a rotten lifestyle.
You do well to record them before they are lost to time,
Spot on Gary, Australia is obsessed with tearing things down........corporations influencing every decision in Government and councils..........Cheers for watching mate :-)
The first house just was immaculate and should be lived in, just like it is! Interesting to see the real estate pictures. Somehow they made those tiny bedrooms look much larger.
Hi Andy :-) Yep great home still! I though the same about the bedroom photos! :-)
Photography trick. Not really like a magic trick but just angles and trajectory.
Another fine job recording these beautiful homes. The 1st yard would have been fantastic with a pool. These homes should have to be proven to be unlivable before being destroyed. Lol as if those in government control would do that. It's always about the money. Thanks for sharing!
Love the houses that you show.
Good morning Paul all three homes are beautiful. It was nice seeing estate photos on the first one. But it’s sad seeing them being torn down. The older ones stand for ever as long as you can keep with them. Thank you for sharing you have a wonderful day 😊
My pleasure Crystal, glad you enjoyed :-)
Loved the 1st and 3rd homes ..they are still perfect to live in ..More sad tear downs ..Thankyou Paul love your explores ..fantastic as usual 👍😁🤩
I live in. First home 🏠 great job looking enjoy 😊
As soon as you rounded the corner to the kitchen I felt like I was in my great grandmothers kitchen. The only difference is, the green countertop and glass on the cabinet
Here in France, and Europe generally I think, we often see the restroom by the entrance: very convenient to wash your hands when coming home; also guests can easily find it, without having to walk through the house or climb stairs.
The first house is my kind of place. Garden and Glasshouse.
So many options with yards on that property hey Mark. Even a pool :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Shame they have to pull down perfectly good houses.
In USA they have toilets near front doors sometimes too but called Powder Rooms mate. :) Builder might have been American.
Yep, first was pomegranate tree. I think the second was a type of apple? Was a nice home, but nothing like some you've shown. But I'm in love with the backyards.
HiJana :-) apparently they were quinces on the back yard tree :-)
The first tree is a Pomegranate. Tasty fruit. Pain in the behind to get the edible bits out. Has a lovely scent.
Second tree looks to be a crabapple. Young crabapples have a fur like substance on their skin that they loose as they ripen. The shape is a give away.
Not edible. Usually planted just for looks.
That house is just too darn cute.
Looks like it was very much loved by its families. Pity it's going to be torn down. Still looks very liveable.
Love the massive yard.
Second house is what they called a Bacholars Home. Very lovely looking home. Probably aged from 1930-1935.
Love the fireplace.
Another house that's such a terrible waste to loose.
Hi LZWG :-) Yep all 3 homes very livable for sure. Cheers for all the info and for watching :-)
I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks!
Glad you like them Hav :-) Many more to come, thanks for watching :-)
Hi Paul. Absolutely loved all 3 homes. It IS a shame they will be destroyed. Thank you for sharing them with us. Cheers.
Glad you enjoyed them Cynthia. Yeah nice old homes that could have continued with many more years of family living but not to be. Thanks for watching :-)
Yeah a toilet or as they're named now is powder room just of the entry way is handy, it's something that I've seen in floor plans of newly built homes now days.
I love pocket doors that slide like that. Makes the living room seem more grand. Some of the really old homes have them that are made out of walnut or mahogany that are 10 feet tall. They just aren’t made like that anymore. I’ve been wanting to ask you, have you ever been creeped out by a house? Seen or heard movement, or voices, shadows? I love looky-looing via your camera, but I’d be scared to go by myself!
Hi Pamela :-) Yes there have been a few houses that I would say something lingers or someone....Last weeks video on an old Villa is one of them but the one that I distinctly heard a man coughing and clearing his throat was this video here ruclips.net/video/nJgL9QfRfEE/видео.html after I had finished the video I was taking still shots and had just stepped in to the hall looking toward the front door and I heard the man in the kitchen behind me, sounded like from the other side of the room. I was out at this old home all by myself as usual also :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 so scary!! I grew up in a haunted house, that’s why I was curious. I wonder what they’ll do when they knock the house down!?
Cool old place. I loved that old stereo. I didn’t hear anyone cough. But creepy with all the skulls everywhere. Yuck! Too bad you couldn’t get into the porch though! I hope you carry a gun with you, or a knife in case an animal attacks you. And your phone too!
@@CaliAnimalLover My brother-in-law took an old cupboard from a house that was falling down and they figured no one would mind, given the house was a goner. Took four men to lift it, but they struggled to get it out. When they got it to their house, weird things started happening. Women in the house would feel their legs being touched up and shadows would appear in one of the bedrooms. My now wife, got pinned to the bed one evening and couldn't move when she was visiting and staying in the bedroom nearest the wardrobe in the hall. They got someone in and they said the spirit hadn't wanted to leave the old house and was centred around that wardrobe and that is why it has been so hard to move. When they moved it, they moved him with it and he wasn't a nice spirit, nor happy about the move. They ended up breaking up the wardrobe and burning it. Everything stopped after that apparently. So this is a long way of saying that perhaps in some circumstances what is there moves with what they salvage from the house or moves on when the house is demolished.
Hello Paul the second lot of fruit were crab apples .
I liked the first house. It was super cute. The yard with the fruit trees was great. I had fruit trees in my yard. I miss being able to go get fruit from my yard. The second house was crazy. It didn't seem any room was designated. Very confusing. Great finds. Thanks!
Why aren’t places like this heritage listed, one day our history will be gone
I love the retro glass cabinets in the first house. The last house had pink cracked ice counter tops, that's so neat. I also liked the pink atomic star light fixture in the last house very cool. THANK YOU FOR SHARING! Love going on these adventures with you.
Nice homes, it a shame to lose them to redevelopment. In the first house was there only the toilet by the front door?
Hi Brenda :-) Yep tht was the only toilet I could find. Never seen that placement before. Cheers for watching :-)
The second one reminds me of craftsman style the inside doors
Someone’s lived in there recently
The stove is pretty new
The house is in good shape and clean
Hey Paul yes that fruit tree is a pommie granite and you wouldn’t think it. I drive past this place everyday on my way to work and seeing a sold sign there not even thinking it was empty and I’ve got Heather nagging at me saying it is and I’m telling her it’s not abandoned. She’s a beauty mate thanks heeps for the show through cheers buddy
Well usually I yell nag!!! He never listens to me so I end up yelling. haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to now!!!
Haha I knew you or some others would prob know this one! :-) Sounds like Heathers nagging was justified "This time" haha :-) Cheers for watching mate.
Heather this obviously means you have to yell nag far more often now! haha. :-) Cheers for watching
Never noticed before that all the locked doors have there knobs and locks up 2/3 the way up the doors, very interesting. And there's no closets.
Hi Tammy :-) Nice observation, door handle height and its progression upwards over the decades is an interesting topic. Cheers for watching :-)
The first home was really nice, and what a difference with the real estate photos , you can see the owners to good care of their home. And I loved that huge backyard ☺️
Hi Paul Great tour as always nice houses love the large back yard in the first one the other two was nice too. Very sad sure lots,and lots of memories in these homes. See you on the next one.
Possibly the toilet off the front door was originally a cloak room.
the second home was cool, too , I would live there and keep as it is.
I loved this house tour!!! Beautiful home! Second tree is Pineapple Quince 😍 so fragrant. I had a pomegranate tree in my backyard years ago… so delish. Love ur channel. ☺️👍
Hi Theresa :-) Yeah this place was nice I agree and so cool to see the fruit trees still churning out the goods! Glad you are enjoying the channel, thanks for watching 🙂
The curtains were made of Shantung Silk, not cheap either.
3 lovely homes, what we wouldn't give for one of these Paul🤔.
Not sure Paul but maybe the fruit tree in backyard was a peach🤔
Hi Jo :-) Thanks for the info and watching again :-)
My in-laws built a house around the same time as the first house. When the estate was sold, it was completely gutted. All the mid-century was removed. It was a shame. Still don't understand why. The house was immaculate.
Hi B Hammack :-) Yeah it is a shame when this happens also, such a period home should be kept that way in my opinion. Cheers for watching :-)
What a gorgeous house! So sad they are going to demolish it. It's history
You can eat those pomegranate’s off of those trees
make sure they are fully ripe ( deep ruby red ) & make sure there are
no juice suckers ( bugs these can sting ) on them.
The oven in the last home it what I'm using now ❤️😺
That is a beautiful house. They don’t build them like that. They don’t build them like that anymore. Every house is pre-fab. (2nd house).
Look like Quince on the tree,we have heaps on our property.They are like furry apples.They are made into jam but very bitter to eat otherwise.
Hi Jax :-) Thanks for the info and for watching. Others also agree with them being quince :-)
Geez,I know I sound like a broken record every week but cant help but be heart broken over loosing such lovely homes an well established yards an gardens, the first home,I loved the soft pastel colors.💋🇺🇸♥️
It so sad to se all the nice houses being torn down. 😟🤓
Hi Andrea :-) Yep it is sad for sure, cheers for watching :-)
Beautiful house! Those curtains were Silk Shantung. Excellent explore!
The first home is immaculate. The real estate photos are so beautiful. A loved home, such a shame it will be demolished. A massive yard too. The second tree you looked at is a quince tree I think.
First home is just around the corner from me. Should've pop in for a coffee. First fruit is a pomegranate and second fruity in the yard was a quince.
Hi Sasha :-) I knew some locals would recognize this one! Cheers for watching :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Thanks for making these video, love seeing old places its just a shame they get demolished and are replaced by sub par buildings.
Those are skeleton keys for those old doorknobs my
grandmother had them and the keys too.
No sé si este lo leas ya le está en español . Pero t escribo para hacerte saber ke m agradan tus videos xk grabas muy bien . Lo haces con calma para ke se aprecien las cosas ke hay . No lo haces a la carrera , ya ke así no se ve bien ni mucho menos t agrada ver tus videos . 👍. 🙏
Hahaha hahaha 😆 that's funny 😁 another great 👍 video urbex thanks
We appreciate your videos Paul. I was from Adelaide originally and moved to Mt Gambier about eight years ago, so it’s nice to see some of the familiar type of homes. We are thinking early 50s house based on light switches and the wiring for the lights/power points seemed to be added after it was built.
I have been to a 40s house that had an original en-suite (Urrbrae) but generally quite rare. Would have been quite fancy to have a guest powder room. The fruits are pomegranate and quince.
Love your videos and once again thanks for your efforts in putting them together.
Hi Becsworld Freedom :-) Glad you are enjoying the old stomping grounds homes, so many being knocked over though! I agree early to mid 50`s for this one. :-) Cheers for watching
Great combo pomegranates and grapes. Great explore
Too bad all are going to be torn down.Thanks for the tour.👍❤️🇺🇸
Its muths like Sweden, all the nice houses being torn down. 😥🤓
Definitely pomegranates on the tree in the beginning of video
Nice , catch-up on the mid week upload first though,, bugger the garden 👍
Haha, cheers buddy! :-)
The way there going there will not be any old homes left there so sad to see some of these beautiful old homes gone
Thanks for watching again Kim! Cheers :-)
All 3 of these homes are beauties and it is a shame if they all get demolished.
They could be cleaned up and some of them renovated and they can be
rented out or even sold. Thanks for sharing. 3 interesting videos.
I agree with you Irene, so many families would love to live there. Cheers :-)
Time to change the Planning Code, to stop the wanton destruction of such important houses, front and back gardens are vanishing..and sad to think that kids will not even know what a Pomegranate tree is....a simple thing...but concrete boxes are changing everything, and not for the better. Growing up with space, trees, a place to play in safety, to have pets..developers are deciding how people should live. Jam an many people in a space as possible....
Hi Debbie! :-) I like that you highlighted the fact that kids will know know a front or back yard to play in and grow up in. I cant imagine my childhood without it!!!! And they 30 year development plan for Adelaide plainly and clearly states that by 2050 front and back yarded homes will be only for the absolute wealthy.........how sad. Things need to change, people crammed in continuously for the sake of "economics". Thanks for watching :-)
What a shame, cant these homes be relocated as a company does over here? I liked all the homes my favourite would be the first one though :) I have pull down lights in all the bedrooms an electrican advised me to keep them so I did.
Hi Wendy, others have asked this and to do this in the suburbs would have to be done dismantling the home completely and moving it in many sections which is just not viable to people who can knock it down and start again. My Grand Father used to move old weatherboard homes for a living but they could be either moved as a whole home or cut in half but there was always huge problems going through towns so that was avoided when ever possible. I will do a video on him doing this too :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Yes it could end up being an issue, The other morning which was about 2am a truck went past me carrying a home on the back followed by other trucks etc. They put the house into a paddock and left it there, the next day the house was off the truck and onto some sort of piles. Very interesting how these house removal people manage. :)
Are these folks paid fair market value for the property’s? When slated for demo? Thank you for the adventures. From Roseburg, Oregon👍
Hi Michael :-) Well this one was put on the market as per normal by the owner and it fetched over 1.5 million!!!!!! :-) So yes developers will pay for huge lots like this. Cheers for watching :-)
Awesome 👌 place back in the day sad to see 👀 go
When i see those fruit tredje,i djust love it. 💖🤓
Quince are greenish yellow and are the 2nd fruit you asked about. I think the first fruits might be unripe pomegranates. Cut one open to tell.
Cheers Penny 🙂👍
Fabric for drapes Chintz
Is it typical in AUS to not have the toilet in the bathroom with the shower and tub? I find that odd, and to have the toilet separate without a sink to wash one's hands is confusing to me as well. Stoves were left but no refrigerators or dishwashers? The grounds are absolutely stunning,but inside the layout is like a maze or a fun house, no logic.
The yard is so pretty
Another one for you, end of Sturt Lane, Hackham demolition slowly under way
somebodies dream home. pretty.,
what a dream house with the realestate pictures. Move me in.
Glad you enjoyed Elizabeth :-)
I love all three homes for different reason, thanks for sharing Paul.
Glad you enjoyed it Sandra :-)
I love that last little house. How gorgeous. I hope it's not up for demo. Thanks Paul 😊
Hi Jen :-) Yeah unfortunately the last little bungalow was knocked down a while ago now :-( It was indeed a cute cosy abode. Thanks for watching :-)
Curtains are raw silk 😊
I hope whoever demolishes these homes recycle the beautiful wood floor.
I hope so too Patty :-) Thanks for watching
This house is not abandoned. Noone is living there right now, but it is far too clean to be abandoned for a long time. The yard is not overgrown and a mess, like it would be at an abandoned house.
Not all abandoned homes are creepy spider web ridden relics. This home has been sold and awaiting demolition prior to redevelopment
G'day Paul, still slowly working my way through some of the best offerings on YT (yours!). @ 17:14, I reckon that fruit tree is a quince. The Olds had to boil the bejeezus out of the quinces for hours before they become edible. Quince jelly on bread & butter, or stewed quinces & cream. Yum!!! Very filling... Real "early settlers" fare...😋😋😋
belle vidéo comme d'habitude
Hi Pascal :-) Thanks for watching :-)
Are the walls really purple? The drapes were custom made. I believe they're polyester. The kitchen counters look like Formica. I still have some in my house. The area off the front door is called a cloakroom, I believe. I lived in a house in the UK that had one just off the front door, too. So people didn't have to go thru bedrooms to use the loo.
This would be a dream home for me. The floors alone sell it. This house would sell for close to a million here in the American southwest.
Why are the doorknobs so high in Australian homes?
Hi Tracy :-) I will do a video on this as its not easy to answer but they started out quite low back in the day. :-)
Polishd cotten
Thanks Berlieanna :-)
Third house.. Wow!!! Amazing lead windows and door. All that storage. Darling kitchen. Love those old toilets. Fireplace! Prayers for all three discarded beauties. Breaks my heart
I loved this house and they didn't believe in closets back then. LOL
Wardrobes I suppose.
Thank You
If it is wasn't for the traffic and closets space, I would buy it.
Second Home: Dark and ugly and I received no good vibes from it. Yuck
Third Home:. Really so cute.
Wish you could take and ship me all that beautiful strain glass and leaded. So beautiful.
Second house... What a precious fireplace!Kitchen sink should have been under the window.Lead glass! Love the ceilings. Beautiful front door. Built ins! Love the white painted brick. I send my love and respect to this beautiful home
What a waste of nice homes
Yep loving the extra video mate good on u.Id love to know yr favourite style property to explore and yr favourite era,thanx again
Glad you enjoyed it Adela :-) Ooh my fav era?? hmmmm If I had to choose I would put the grand old late Victorian and early federation villas. I guess because they have more of a sense of old days history before even electricity was in place. Those long hallways also :-)
A house I once lived in ,the hallway was 30mtrs long,I was too young to remember but mum used to go on about it because she had to clean it.
What a charming, enchanting house! I love the drapes and could fix up that kitchen to be darling. I also love that clothesline. Love the floors and everything about this mid century modern. I absolutely love this video!! Thank you from Ft Worth Texas
