- Hey house lovers and Explorers!
This week I take you through this massive Bungalow for a look. It is early 1920`s Californian style Gentleman`s Bungalow and these were not built for the common worker. This style was for the well to do man and lady and this one was owned first by 3 successive Doctors up until the 1970`s when it became a government run youth welfare home.
The home has levels and the upper level seems to be added later perhaps then it became the welfare home. I will do a more detailed follow up regarding history in the future.
Yes.........this one is going to be redeveloped and I had been watching this one for access for some time. We get a look before any salvage process has started and to top things of there are also some amazing real estate pics which I have added towards the end showing this gem in immaculate condition fully furnished.
In ground pool and shed with stuff also a bonus. Hope you enjoy the tour. Cheers for watching :-)
I barely started watching, but I LOVE this home! If I lived there, I'd never move, but I'm sure they must have made a pretty penny to sell it. The hardwood floors and fireplaces are amazing!
I would never leave either Kim :-) I might go and live there on weekends now! haha :-) Cheers for watching
I thought about 1 room being my office and never leave either lol
I can't believe anyone would demolish such a beautiful quality home!...The world really has gone mad 😢
Lovely old home shame it.has.to.go.what.a.gem.loved.it.thank.you
What a beautiful home. From the real estate photos you can tell they kept the home immaculate. I guess when they sold to the developer and knew it would be torn down they just let the kids go hog wild on the walls since it wouldn’t really matter. I remember seeing other houses where they all wrote on the walls before they left. I could move right in this one.
Wow!! Thanks for including the real estate photos. That property was stunning. It's such a shame (again) to see another fall to "development".
Awesome house I love kitchen and the bathroom closet great video
What a waste that was such a lovely home in those real estate photos!
The floors looked like knotty pine to me. Really nice house and the fireplace mantels such beautiful work.
The flooring is cypress pine.
That house is an absolute stunner
There doesn't seem much wrong with it. So much for progress.
The dresser in the garage was the icing on the cake with this video.. Definetely 1960-70's art decor
Love your videos.
I appreciate so much the realestate photos you add in. When I watch these types of videos I always try and imagine what the life of the home looked like before it was abandoned. Its so fascinating!!
Wow. Such a big lovely home sad it will be torn down. Hope the stain glass is saved . 🙏
Awesome 😎👍 place
So gladat least some parts will be salvaged.
I would live in a neighborhood for this! Gorgeous!
🌟Oh wow just beautiful I absolutely love it everything! Very nice pool too! Such a shame that it will be gone forever. Love the real estate photos even though there were a few modern touches it didn’t spoil the character. Thank you so much 😊 ❤🌟:-) x
the real estate photos make that home look like a movie set.
Heartbreaking when you see how nice it was .. great upload again mate.
Fabulous explore! One of the best and well kept abandonment properties I've ever seen. I do hope they will salvage whatever they can prior to demolition because much of it is worth a fortune in resale. Loves the photos of when it was listed for sale and it was a beauty of a home then. Nice video.
Thanks Julie, glad you enjoyed this one 👍😁
Thanks Julie, glad you enjoyed this one 👍😁
WOW ... fantastic! From seeing the sales agents photos, it's such a shame that this house wasn't bought by a family to live in and enjoy. Thanks Paul, great to see some contents in the shed ... I guess I can't expect any classic cars 😄Pity about the piano not looking in the best condition. There'll be a child somewhere in Adelaide who would love to learn on that if it was tidied up. You continue to surprise with your finds. 👌
Glad you enjoyed it Ken :-) Im with you, it should be loved by a family again. Cheers mate for watching
Absolutely loved this house, how sad its being torn down, also Urbex Indigo you have the most beautiful voice, I am in love with it :)
This home looks in amazing condition! Why is it going to be demolished??!! That’s really sad!!!!😞😞
Just so sad this beautiful home is being torn down! The real estate photos for sure give us all a view of what this house was and probably not that long ago. I simply don't understand why this
home was allowed to run down. There is nothing wrong with this beauty that couldn't be restored and to be able to keep a part of history alive!
Great video, but sad it is being torn down to be replaced by something that will never be as beautiful as this home. Keep the videos coming.
The land was worth more than the home.
This is one of my favourite styles of home! Just so beautiful! There's always so much more character to a home from decade's before thing's became "modern". thanks so much for this beauty 👍
Absolutely gorgeous home. Beautiful real estate photos show the full potential of the way this home should look like. 😍
Just Stunning!....
It was a beautiful loved home once.
The old pictures of it 😍😍😍
Yes it was Kerrie :-)
the video of the home you showed in your video was absolutely stunning with the second floor , I just don't like the way the kids decided to scribble on the walls ,with a home like the one you have shown you can make that in to a small bed and breakfast for overseas holiday makers
Very Beautiful and Nice place to live and to keep this house
in good shape is very expensive but still if they had someone
caretaking the place it definitely wouldn't be.
Yes, you are right Roger, a beautiful place :-) Cheers for watching
Such a beautiful home, what a shame it will be lost forever. Thanks for sharing Paul
Hi Paul!👋😊
Hi TEV :-) Cheers for watching
@@urbexindigo5164 Always watch your videos. I appreciate what you do. I admire the care and knowledge you have that’s comes across thru the screen. 💚
Awesome home and great find before it was completely trashed. It is so sad that a lovely home like that is going to be bulldozed. The phone line in the crawl space was for the alarm with back to base monitoring and for the internet for an app on your phone.
This was the most beautiful, classiest, glorious house of all! I loved everything about it. It's devastating that it is doomed to be destroyed! No way the replacement will be better. But I'm glad the childen had fun drawing the walls before they left. Can somebody please tell me why it's called a Gentleman's bungalow?
I love this house!! It is massive. The California Gentleman’s Bungalow has been my favorite for a long time. It’s beautiful even if it didn’t have all the original door knobs and cabinets. It makes me so sad they will knock it down.
Beautiful! I love the real estate photos!!!
all i can say is wow, what a waste of a fine looking home.
You said it Stephen. Cheers for watching mate :-)
What a nice place, loved the wood floors and the fireplaces. I enjoyed the real estate photos although not really my taste. Always interesting. Thanks, Paul
Lovely place. Some amazing fireplaces in there. Thanks for showing us around Paul.
My pleasure ClarkOVision :-)
This is a beautiful home. What a shame it's like this now.
Stunning home!.. why would you ever leave it!
Makes the mind boggle hey 7Sandie. Cheers for watching :-)
Death and Divorce.
Awesome 👍🏽❤️
Thank you! Cheers for watching Shettikka :-)
Hahaha hahaha 😆 yeah not too fussy about the walls 🤣 love ❤️ you urbex great video
My favourite I think. I love Californian bungalow best. The real estate photos show what a tragic loss this one is 😔
Another beauty mate loved those fire places they’re so cool and add character to these old places. I’m glad you got to get in there before the demo crew started picking it apart. And that bath you could fit mar and par and the kids in that one mate. I noticed a palm tree out the back, I tell myself if there’s a palm tree 🌴 it’s abandoned, shame there demolishing this one it’s a waste cheers Paul
Hi Werner! Cheers for watching mate :-)
Nice place 👌 cheers 🍻 urbex love ❤️ your videos stay safe stay 🙏 stay 😎 cool
Morning excellent video but what a shame who wouldn’t want cement boxes compared to that beauty
I live in the UK and can't understand why in America they pull down these beautiful homes in Britain it would have been refurbished.
This is Australia. The land size must be huge and close to a city. So they demolish an old house which is centred on the block and build 4-6 replacement townhouses on the same block.
It’s sad.
Wow what a beautiful home it was shame they let kids draws all over the walls and loved 2 old fire places.
AmAzInG !! I would buy this house as is. :) Love from AZ-US
What a beautiful house 🏠. I like the children's scribble. I had rather see that than graphitti every where.
Isn't Graffiti, Scribble, Doodle all the same thing regardless of who's behind the hand 🤔 or the reason for the expression.....
What a beautiful house how are they allowed to knock it down???
Hi Kimberly :-) Unfortunately it is not heritage protect :-(
Hi Paul. What a wonderful place. Once again, too bad it is going to be destroyed. Looked to be be in great condition. The mantels are so nice. Loved this one for sure. Thank you and take care. 😁
What a stunning ol girl Paul. If only walls could talk....has she been demolished now? Thank you.😊🌻
Another beauty to be gone forever 😢
1920's is art deco. That fireplace is art deco. "Mud porch" where you take of your muddy boots and hang your raincoats before going inside. And get that paint bucket off of that vanity in the shed, PLEASE!
Urbex Indigo thanks my friend for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed this video about Abandoned- Huge 2 story Californian style Gentleman`s Bungalow. 3 different Doctors lived here it was a very nice home and thanks for sharing it with me i am from the U.S.A i always enjoy your channel and God Bless.
Glad you enjoyed it Wayne, cheers mate! :-)
What a house. The mantels are all beautiful and there was a lot of money spent to make it home for them. Seems like they kept it in pristine condition and something happened after they left. I am so surprised this one is going under demolition. I just cannot get over the waste. Tear down things that have lasted forever, fill a land fill up and put up and inferior product in it's place. I would love to have those doors for my new house. Their lovely. Thank you again for showing us another old place. I hope one day you buy one and document your renovation. Waving from Maine. P.S I would like that vanity please. Can you send it in the post?
Cheers for watching Susan! Yes I will get that vanity shipped off to Maine soon! haha :-)
Looking at the realtor photos,at how immaculate the home was kept, make me think they knew the house was going to be destroyed and so what if the kids scribbled on the walls. The Art Deco dresser was a piece to treasure not trash! Thanks again for a great explore👍🏻😊
I guess I should have listened to the ending b/4 commenting 😀
It hurts my heart to think the developers might not attempt to or allow salvage on any of this home. But I hope they do. Fine Timbers everywhere.
such a waste a very beautiful home that wouldnt take much work to bring it back to immaculate very sad to see homes like this gone
Very nice big old place, hope they make something nice off it, but the painters are not going too be happy for what those kids have done lol
Would have been a beautiful home in its day. Not keen on the additions, detract from original style of the home
the kitchen cabinets are so functional I would love to cook in it. this house is full of storage cabinets
What a waste all it needs is some fresh paint a few minor repairs and a good cleaning .
Please show us want builders build when there nook down a beautiful home .
These are called Craftsman's house in America...
What a gorgeous house. It's such a shame that it was left to become so sad.
Hello Paul another big beautiful home it's a shame that it's going to be demolished The Outsiders just as beautiful as the inside thank you once again bringing this video to us great job I always enjoy your videos love from upstate New York
Hi Nancy! Thanks for the great support :-)
The unique facade with pressed crosses on the brickwork, the headlight windows, ornate fireplaces and spacious rooms add charm to this Californian Bungalow. Being able to see a comparison to the realestate photos, provides some insight into how beautifully maintained this once spacious home was.
Hey Julz! :-) Cheers for watching
I love that house. I wish it was on our land. I don't approve of the kids drawing on the walls. My daughter and neice did that to one wall in the livingroom and I made them scrub it for thirty minutes. They never did that again. Parents need to teach children to respect things! That is why there are so many Vandals!
Paul I love the photos of this beautiful home from the real estate, I could live there with no problem. Just a dream, thanks for sharing.
The house ts beautiful and huge.
What an irreplaceable home and yet….😢
Did this fall into disrepair because of the highway? Most people don’t want to live on top of a highway.
This was a great explore. Thanks for sharing.👍
06:08 really nice chandelier
stop spending so much time looking at the floors and walls,
Just skip through the video :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 Virginia,, its all part of Paul's video history of these fine old Adelaide bungalows ....Ed
That home goes on and on.
What a cool home! Beautiful.
Well done my brother :)
I love this home x
What a massive house! That big bedroom upstairs would instantly be mine if I lived in that house. It housed a lot of people at one point for sure. Reminds me so much of the big bungalows I grew up in in South Africa especially those steel windows and massive rooms. Great video dude
Old house Norwood
excelente trabajo Paul gracias ....saludos desde Mexico
Hi BOJORGES :-) Thanks for watching
That was lovely
Wow the before and after pix ..certainly are poles,apart ..So sad to see the beautiful ol girl be demolished...The grounds left to overgrow ..pool an infested cesspool..☹😥..Thankyou Paul another ..Great find 👍
It's not uncommon to change the floor boards where the builder expected a rug to go. They would generally put lesser quality wood in the center, with a rug intended to go over it and with the better quality wood surrounding that.
Capitalism & the endless, obsessive pursuit of the proverbial dollar are abolishing so much of our history in Oz. It's sad...
Looking at those real estate images, I can't help but ask 'What the heck happened?'
What a gorgeous property! Really enjoyed your tour and the real estate photos were great!
Before I found URBEX Indigo, I had been watching videos of American and English properties for years. I was interested in differences in architecture, building materials & techniques and furnishings in different countries. After watching URBEX Indigo videos, one of the things I’ve noticed is connected to something you refer to as being “sterile” in more recent interior and exterior design. It’s what I see as a kind of sameness in our homes that has evolved over the last couple of decades. We are losing the distinctions that differentiate homes and furnishings of one county as it compares to another. In other words a modern, updated kitchen in America basically looks the same as one in the U.K. or Australia. All functional and nice-looking but “sterile” as you describe it in your videos. What a shame to lose the national “flavors” that give us our uniqueness!
It does make your videos all the more enjoyable because you give us a window into the beautiful craftsmanship of the past.
I drool over some of these places dreaming about what I would do to them! BTW the room with kiddie scribbles is because they painted the entire room with chalkboard paint. My guess is it was a child's playroom...bit then they went crazy on every wall. Prob. why they decided to just give up. Not good.
That first fireplace! Oh my gosh! It’s beyond beautiful and for some weird reason I almost cried. I know why I teared up, I want it! 😂 Gorgeous house my dear. Thank you again for sharing your passion with us. ❤ PS…that vanity in the shed! The pool! I want it all. 🥰
Omg- what a gorgeous s property! Thanks so much for including the pictures of the home in its beautiful condition. I so enjoyed exploring this one with you- thanks again for sharing.
Much love friend.
What progress?Its a shame this is such beauty that i almost want to live there haha.Any where but California. Beautiful showcase home thank you so much . Take care my friend and stay warm in the USA? your friend Barbara FL.USA
Beautiful!!!🌻😊
I would love to know why this home needs to come down. It looks like it has amazing bones. The only thing I can imagine is cheaper homes on less land OR that it’s valuable commercial land (considering the traffic). Maybe I answered my own question.
So refreshing to see children's innocent doodles on the walls as opposed to angry/profane graffiti. I suspect they were allowed to go all out upon moving away knowing it was going to be demolished. The first room was a foyer; the second room a parlor, both for guests. Then there was the dining room with a servant entrance/family side entrance and family living room/entertainment room at the back. The bedrooms were large because they were designed dormitory-style for two or more young people. Why didn't they donate that furniture to Goodwill or Habitat ReStore? That one piece in the garage was really unique and in good shape; consignment or antiques dealer should have been called.
Sad to see this house is going to be torn down. What is with these developers in which I refer to them as property thieves, will destroy a immaculate home, just to build cheap high cost apartments? Probably will cost up to 1 million just to remove this and about another 4 million to make into apartments. This should of been put on the national historical register. Seems it would of save them millions just to repair this and resale it or rent it out. They are out for the almighty dollar. Spend 5 million to to make up to 4k a month. This kind of reminds me of Mr. Haney on Green Acres. LOL
What a beautiful home the and still very liveable it has everything you need,the pool would of been lovely when it was lived in. They are slowly pulling down history all over Australia. 😢
Lovely home with everything that ticks everything I like. Tyvm Paul :)
