- Hey house lovers and explorers! This video we take a look through 3 dwellings with the first being a classic and very stylish 1953 built home displaying all the typical styles of the era including nods to the waterfall and art deco trend. The home has a large 60`s time capsule granny flat that is bigger than most units for sale! An in ground pool at the front to show case that money was no object back in the day along with a tennis court which separates it from the 3rd dwelling being a late 50`s/early 60`s home although with the contemporary low roof built of that period and features seen in both late 50`s and early 60`s. In fact the 3rd home is quite unique inside as you will see due to originality and quirky alterations.
Situated on a prestigious part of Anzac highway this entire lot is currently being demolished. Anzac highway has always been admired for it`s beautiful and classy homes as you drive between Glenelg and the city but over the last 6 years I have been documenting old homes Anzac hwy unfortunately has been decimated by developers putting up high density living units.
I hope you all enjoy the explore, cheers for watching :-)
I love your tours of these beautiful old homes. It is just wrong that these historic homes are being destroyed to make way for cheap boxes!!
Another lovely home hitting the dust. A.N.Z.A.C. highway has a lot to answer for... Busting down the old school to rebuild many more to a block. The local council rubs hands together more money to take in. I drive this road often and am saddened to see this happen too often. Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)
Cheers MM 😊👍 yes before long Anzac hwy will be completely transformed! Thanks for watching 👍😁
CORRECT 👍
@urbexindigo5164 no worries always a pleasure 😊
Happening on all major roads in Adelaide. I see that our previous 114 year old bluestone fronted cottage on Churchill Rd has a demolition application on it to council now. 👎
Every time I drive down Anzac Highway which is only a couple of times a year I look enviously at these beautiful homes wishing they were mine. Every suburb in Adelaide is becoming unrecognisable with the same happening in all of them. What a shame that Adelaide is loosing these homes to have these ugly boxes crammed onto these large blocks of land, large trees ripped out, lovely gardens removed to be replaced with small patches of concrete. What's that doing to our environment, it's no good protesting about mining coal etc. think about what we are loosing around us. Thanks Paul for recording this special part of history so our grandchildren can look back dream.
My pleasure Bronwyn 😊👍 thanks for appreciating the older homes and for watching these videos. 😊
I love the first home so beautiful now who would not love that house
I love these homes, but it hurts my heart. They are works of art!
I absolutely love your opening song and keep showing us those beautiful old homes.
I LOVE the outside architectural look of the 1st house! Especially the side that faces the pool!! Wow!! The little scroll details and things?! AMAZING!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it Christin 👍🙂 Cheers for watching 🙂👍
👍🏽👍🏽 Cool explore
The road noise seemed to be very loud... That was prolly the middle of no where when it was built
Wow that bathroom ceiling at 41:17 looks like something from a 70s Hindley Street nightclub. 😂
Wow! How beautiful & sad at the same time. I hate seeing homes set empty & left to rot! Another wonderful video mate! ❤️😘👍🤘
hiya paul! what a crime that beauties like these are lost forever. bravo for doing what you do. helluva granny flat. the family must have had big bucks. house 2 spent a fortune in mirrors. probably well loved in its day.
Wouldn't it be interesting to know something about the past residents of this fabulous house? I'm imagining a professional father or maybe highly succesful business man. A stepford type wife and kids that went to expensive private schools. Holidays would be flying off to exotic destinations. This was an affluent family''s home.
Yes I think it was certainly someone who ran their own business. A picture of golfers. Although I know in those days it was more about shaking hands with the right people that got you ahead. Belonged to certain clubs. I know this through my own relatives. I grew up in QLD in the 70s before returning to the UK. Maybe not such a stepford wife. Someone liked their reflection with all the mirrors. Perhaps wasn't her. Always a mystery with these homes who they were. We can imagine too much at times. Although it is fun. Cheers.
🌟Hi Paul, wow what a treat three homes in a row, the first home very nice I see why they put the pool out the front no room out the back! would have been nice for a dip. It was certainly like a mini mansion. The stairway to heaven upstairs was quite big nice real estate photos. They certainly went all out with the mirrors I agree a bit much! Such a shame they gone now. Thank you so much for the tours made me forget about my pain. 😊🌟❤️x :-)
I knew that home immediately. I've always loved it
time dosent stand still such lovly places like these im so glad u take time to document
Another beautiful home being lost to greed. Great video
Whoa 👍 I love house 👍👍❤️😺😺👋👋
That's some trippy ceiling in the funhouse bathroom. At least they left the date roll. I'll bet that place was furnished like some Nick Scali nightmare,
My favourite was the granny flat. Nothing that a little Spray & Wipe wouldn't clean up. That long bathroom was the best part of it.
1st one is dream home! Wow!
This is another really great find here with these three abandoned houses but to bad that they are also being torn down like the other houses that
have been demolished but glad that you were able to explore them before
they are all demolished Thanks once again for another awesome video
take care until next time and Thank You very much.🇦🇺👋🇦🇺👋🇦🇺👋🇦🇺
What a treat! Look forward to your videos soooo much.
Your urban explores make me pretty sad, such losses are the end of neighbourhoods with their own flair.
I'm obsessed with the farmsteads. Dirty developers are going to take a long time to get to some of those.
Thank you for keeping the record 🙂
Its a shame it is gone. The style and beauty will be missed. It's truly a shame that they don't build homes like this today.
Like the brocade wall paper
The second house had so much wasted space, but the wood ceilings were beautiful & the ceiling in the bathroom blew my mind
Classic National microwave there Paul. Would be around 40 years old. The first house should have been heritage-listed. Beautiful.
Hello from Pennsylvania Very Very Nice
Hi Jeff 😊 thanks for watching 🙂👍 glad you enjoyed
Bet Developers can’t wait to get their hands on that.
These places were awesome mate loved the hallway mirrors in the third home added a cool addition to the place cheers for the tour mate.
Cheers Werner, classy homes the 50s had to offer and these were no exception. Cheers for watching 👍😁
Hi paul ,wow wow, and that wall paper, will never see any thing like that again. Loved 1st home , sad to see people come in an destroy and paint graffiti in and around. Love to do the same to there house. I know for sure the new dog boxes that they end up building won't last as long as these buties. Thanks Paul for your great find. Cheers Deb
Glad you enjoyed it Dab 👍😊 thanks heaps for watching 👍😁
Just amazing properties in every way. That furry wallpaper is called ’Flock’ I believe. I’d happily live in that annex! It’s so my vibe lol Great tour
Time warp explore...Paul great opportunity for a "what's up everyone" in that large mirror....want to see one in the next explore ;) .
Does look stylish from the outside and of course it will be on the inside.
Mr. Paul says so! 🤓👍
But at 3:50am in east coast America this will wait.
(Nature called 😉)
😴👍
Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this video with me it was very good explore about stylish 2 story 50's home with 60's granny flat/ pool/tennis court and neighboring late 50'shome! this was a good video thanks for sharing it i am from the U.S.A and thanks again fore sharing it and God Bless.
Oh wow!
Hey Paul. It's really funny that we love these "old" homes. And they would have been so 'modern' when they were built. Us humans are always evolving. One day they will pull down the buildings they are building today. What will we say then. 'Glad to see them go'?
Thanks so much for a walk through the history of architecture in Adelaide.
My birth year xoxo❤. Thank you.
Another great Vlog, so sad to see all those heritage properties being bulldozed, but I guess that’s progress ❤️🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺
Hi Paul, I love seeing the latest videos and this one is awesome. It's such a shame that the first house and grany flat are to be knocked down but once the taggers get in its pretty well destroyed. What a beautiful house it would have been! A really comfortable family home complete with pool and a place for the grandparents. Very cool! 😊
Lovely old homes shame they have to go great video enjoyed it thank you
Great find
Been waiting for this lol
Definitely wish it was full of things like this when I went lol
Cheers Pete! :-) I guess we will see more units there in no time hey
What an absolute shame, such a beautiful home with so much character, it would have been absolutely beautiful if it was renovated back to life
Such nice houses.
Awesome explore! 😊😊😊
More stove envy,, couple of nice ones again mate ,,, shame to see what makes Adelaide unique get destroyed for ticky tacky boxes .
just a magical video grate stuff
Cheers Laura 😁👍
Thank you for the walk down memory lane ! I,m now rural SA, but grew up- Enfield/Born 1950 and visited a lot of my parents friends-some of whom lived on Anzac Hwy. It was considered quite 'posh' back in the 60's,. "Progress' and time has taken that away. I remember vividly, the earthquake in the 2nd half of the 50's, which then resulted in a lot of the cracking evident in these old houses.
Hi Cherie 😊 glad you can recall the glory days of Anzac hwy, I moved to Adelaide in 1996 and even then it was still very much preserved but now it is far from it. Yes considered posh for sure to own a home along there. 😊 I lived on Anzac hwy for 15 years opposite the arm barracks in an art deco block of units, now demolished also 😒
The exterior of the main house was very attractive. I love the stonework & the railings. Inside I like the staircase & railing & the penny tile floor of the laundry area.
I love the porthole window in the house nextdoor. That ceiling in the bathroom is wild! 😄
Interesting first home. I wonder what is going in on that property, it's going to be a very large space to build on. Thanks Paul for the walk!! Cheers ☮️💜
Lovely first home, I would've lived in the granny flat (if the wall was repaired) just me & my dog, its a shame that the homes have been. demolished, so much for progress & money.
Been sick trying to catch up on videos I've missed still sick but just have to watch cheers 🍻 urbex always great 👍 video stay safe stay cool 😎
You have a beautiful voice/accent so manly & nice. I watched your video's all weekend on my 75 in. t.v. , gorgeous houses & awesome commentary.🥰😍🤩
Ooh, this place looked nice. Beautiful big rooms, granny flat out the back that’s bigger than a unit I lived in ! Very nice.
That wallpaper going up the stairs was flocked paper.
Anzac highway is busy, good position for families I suppose with the school close.
Didn’t like all the mirrors in the 3rd place, too confronting lol
Thanks, Paul and Michael for a look into these homes. X
From the outside I would live there.
Who wouldn't love this house, sadly there will be no unique properties left soon. 😢
Great adventure! You never know what sight lies around the next corner.
Obviously built/owned by wealthy people of the time. Never seen anything like that skylight in the lounge of the second house and what the blazes was that ceiling in the bathroom - looked like the Partridge Family bus!
I’ve never really been to crazy about hoping to ever get rich…. But NOW I do!!!😢Wow if I had the money what a beautiful home to raise at least 6 foster children with the MIL being a place to house young unwed mothers!!! That property could be used to do so much good for the less fortunate!!!!!! If I miraculously get a lot of money….. that would be AMAZING to have a property like this!!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely property 💕
Great ideas there Kathy, well said 😊👍
Hello from France !
It’s a shame to destruct a so charming and retro house !
It’s a very beautiful place !
Thanks for the visit !
Awesome.👍❤️🇺🇸
I love the mirrors left behind in these homes, I wish I could buy them. Today's mirrors are so plain Jane I bought many from wayfair then just donated them
What beautiful homes, amazing workmanship,
too bad they're going to be destroyed. I'm sure something boxy and ugly will take their place.... LOVE the granny flat, I'd be so happy to have an oven with a rotisserie!! Would have been a perfect place for one person.
I'm with you, not a fan of the mirrors.
They're a little close together for my taste, but I'm a country girl at heart.
Very sad that the taggers got to them.
A good solid home unlike the crap that is built today
Hi Paul another magnificent find loved the first house the most and the granny flat looked huge I’m originally from Adelaide so I remember all those gorgeous houses on Anzac Highway when I come home looks like I’m going to be shocked to see all the change’s being made to Adelaide all the beauty turned to rubble always enjoy your knowledge and videos Paul cheers.❤
So VERY SAD! I would’ve LOVED living there….
I can watch these all day guys. By the end of some I am totally saddened to see the quality built homes of yesteryear destroyed to make way for the rubbish that is built today.. such a time warp seeing many Vulcan Oil heaters still in these places. Keep up the awesome work fellas. Thanks for posting.
People that put mirrored finishes up like that back in the day would probably be 'selfie' freaks today!
great explore, loved the granny flat, I would love to live in a small place like that, good to see the mysterious Michael again, thanks for the mid-week video
This house is beautiful. I was born in the 50s. I just love older houses. Such a shame that they are going to demolish this. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Items left behind, ❤ tells part of the story, but there may have been different owners over the years,
Beautiful home
The granny flat would be perfect for me if I could find something like that lol
I really like the first home. I wonder what the story is of those occupants that had them sell the home to developers. Too beautiful a home to demolish. Beautiful wroth iron railings on the second level. Ah, well! Here today, gone tomorrow.
My guess is that the children moved on and found that because of taxes and cost to renovate it was easy to sell. Might have been hard to sell when mom and dad moved on because of memories. You could tell from the photos and such that mom or dad stayed until the end. But reality set in, I hope they held out for a good pay day.
I think wooden railings would of looked better in the house. The granny flat, it's nice that you can get to the bathroom from the living room and not just from the bedroom.
The weather matched my mood. Poor Adelaide, it seems it’s turning into a city full of unimaginative architecture. Such a shame. ☹️
I was going to ask you to pack up the granny flat and send it to me, then I realized sending it 15,240 kilometers would be cost prohibitive. 😉
Once again, great job of recording your past for everyone in the future. ❤️
wow, many years ago lived in a similar style single story house around the corner in glengowrie. (also demolished now) even had the same wallpaper in the bedroom. really sad to see great old houses like this being demolished. Theres nothing wrong with it, except the land value.
Heartbreaking to see these character homes being demolished and this one must have been very special in its day and probably architecturally designed as a one of.
Its sad to see the beautiful homes along Anzac Hwy get demolished. Lived in Adelaide all my life and as kids, and as a game, my brother and I used to select which houses along Anzac Hwy were ours. I think there is only one left now, a two story near Ashford Hospital. So many gorgeous old homes gone 😢
Cheers Elise 😊👍 yes I think any Adelaide person would agree Anzac hwy was a joy to drive along and look at the homes. Thanks for your comments 👍😊
The first one was really nice. I wouldn't mind living in the granny flat. Or as we call them mother in law suit. I wouldn't mind having a loo with a view. But don't like having all these mirrors, especially in the bathroom. Second one could have been fixed up and lived in. But land is more important, then history. That is still in good shape.😊
Granny flat might of been a little tennis club
Or maybe they billeted it out to interstate or international tennis players when in Adelaide Not all professional players are rich.
@@shez5964mayb a tennis coach lived and worked there back in the day
For sure I bet that's what they did
@@katenewton9751 or maybe a tennis coach lived and worked from there?
Yeah I agree it must have definitely been for more than just a hit of 🎾
Beautiful homes! watching the demolish portion, all I could think was "murder"! Bummer.
I'll take the granny flat thank you, it was the nicest. Not much work needed and I'd keep it original as possible. I wonder if it's oven and cooktop could be detail cleaned to its original condition.
Thanks for the tours Paul!
🤠👍
Hello Paul great video like always I like the first house the most I agree with you I kind of didn't like the mirrors too many to clean till next time stay safe take care love from upstate New York❤😊
Reminds me of houses built in the 60's, that playboy thing with all the mirrors and such. The granny flat looked more like a man cave, or adult play house after a tennis match. With a bar inside the front room.
It is a crying shame what these lovely homes get torn down and replaced with.
IT'S SO SAD THAT YOUR OLDER HOMES DON'T GET SAVED, LIKE HISTORICAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE BUILDER!!!!!
These must have been expensive in their day. Not large but many special features!
Sad to see charm demolished!
The Craftsmanship is incredible, the thought of it being reduced to rubble is sad
I am getting to feel ill now your videos coming up when i see them - its just gut wrenching. Im gutted that house is going. ALtho there is one like like on the corner of Anzac Hwy and Stonehouse Ave, next to the group of units, where a dentist bought it and extended it in sympathy. Weve been here for over 25 years and we are seeing more and more much loved homes going down..its breaking our hearts. But your videos are so important to keep the memory alive and for us to see finally what they all looked like inside. Sorry - but there is no need for this re-zoneing of Anzac Hwy as a "transport high density corridor". We here in Plympton park, at thte cornoer of Cross Rd and Marion Rd, have historic homes and we are fighting tooth and nail ppl who buy in and want to re-develop...some dont succeed - some do, depending on what street theyre on. But seeing all the majestic homes go is breaking our hearts!
Hahaha hahaha 😆 yeah right hahaha great 👍 urbex
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
Le placard avec les portes avec miroirs, un miroir peu apporter un plus de lumière dans un endroit sombre, ou agrandir un espace.
18:38 Ce ne sont pas des peinture, mais des estampes (images produites avec une presse) différentes plaques pour une seule image (une plaque par couleurs utilisé). La scène que je vois ressemble un peu à un repas de gentlemans après une chasse.
La petite dépendance, peut être construite pour des invités occasionnels, mais pouvant aussi servir pour habriter une personne âgée (le siège percé dans le garage prouve qu'il y a eut une personne âgé).
37:56 les miroirs sont là pour agrandir la pièce
Hi Patricia 🙂 thanks for the great comments again, you know your stuff. Cheers for watching 👍😁
Merci, mais je trouve dommage que la grande maison la première soit détruite. Comme la petite dépendance. Elles ont pour moi un mystère de conception@@urbexindigo5164
The only houses I've have seen in Adelaide with that many mirrors, it's always Italians. It's like a way to display their wealth or whatever.
Is the house for sale ?
What are they asking for it ?
I'd restore the property and put an in ground pool in where the tennis court was.
Love the property ❤
Is this beauty also in Australia?
Is there any info about the painting above the bath in the granny flat? I zoomed in, it’s intriguing. May be a print
I will try look if I took a clear picture of it 😊👍
I can see a signature in the bottom left, I think
Why are the doorknobs placed so high on the doors?
thay spay stairs in the front door means money flows out not in again thank u .
It’s pretty sad really that these homes are lost forever, never to be seen again. I detest developers because they are in it for the money not the heritage. They are scum in my books and I wish they would go away. They are doing this all around Australia and it’s a terrible loss. Much love from Newcastle
Hi, I'm Cindy and new to your channel. I'm in the U.S.and forgive my ignorance but what country are you in? Australia?
Hi Cindy 🙂 welcome to the channel, yes I am down in Australia. Adelaide in South Australia to be exact. Hope you are enjoying the videos 👍😁
@@urbexindigo5164 yes I am, very much! Thank you!
My parents live next door to that house shown at 4.15, it's on a huge block which will unfortunately seal its fate at some stage.
Could you do a follow up video after demolishing and what unattractive property replaced these gorgeous homes...progress be dammed, soon we will have no living architectural heritage left to admire
Hi Aprilsraven :-) Yes been meaning do do something along those lines. Many grey boxes going up everywhere! Cheers for watching 🙂
