What a shame this one has to come down. Beautiful!

I find it so sad and disturbing that these beautiful houses don't get saved. Thank you for the tour. Such a beautiful home.

One day some urbex dude with a camera is going to walk through the back door (which is never locked) of my shabby house, saying "This place hasn't been lived in for years & it's ready for demo, oh look everything is left behind" LOL

What a beautiful old house! I really enjoyed this one. Lots of Reno's over the years but it is very open and spacious. What a shame this is going to be demolished. If it weren't for the cracks it could still be lived in for many years to come. Thanks for the tour Paul.

My late Nan lived in a "California Bungalow" in Wagga, which had cracks even worse than those on this place... masonry is an unforgiving material when your foundations sit on clay. We used to half-joke that the ivy growing on the northern side of the house was the only thing holding it together. Yes, that enclosed area at the back of this house would be a later addition, houses of this vintage had the laundry and toilet outside, in this case off to one side of a porch. Mum says the first time _her_ grandmother saw a house with a fully indoor toilet, she thought it was "...the dirtiest thing I've ever seen, imagine having the sh*thouse in the middle of your home!". I strongly suspect the carport is also a modern addition on this house, but whoever did it, did a top job of making it look seamless with the rest of the facade. Minus the carport, the front of this house would've looked more like that other example you showed at 1:57. Edit: Yep, that bathroom has been extensively renovated... although again, whoever did it, has done a top job. I'm pretty sure those _are_ the original bathroom floor tiles, unless they were salvaged from another Federation-era build. Neither shower area (bathroom or laundry) is original. Showers didn't become popular until electric water heaters came along. For bathing, well into the first half of the 20thC, it was usual to heat the water in a "chip heater", or the laundry copper.

That's a beautiful home, it's a shame it is going to be destroyed. They always seem to replace beautiful old homes with really ugly new construction. Thanks for sharing!!

I would have loved to see this house in its heyday, with all the wood in the foyer still stained.

It's actually nice to see that like many of us when we leave a place we at least leave a roll of dunny paper.

My house was built in 1965. It had carpet throughout. I lifted up the carpet in the living room and found that there was a nice wooden floor hiding underneath. So, I checked the bedrooms, and they too, had nice wooden floors, waiting to be seen again. Just like the ones in this house. So, I ripped out all of the carpets. But they sure do get cold in the winter. So, I made me some rugs to put down. Thanks, Paul, for another great video. See you in the next explore.

Thanks, Paul ... 😀

Glad to see the old vent has a nice fine mesh over it to keep the creepy crawlies out.

This property and the one next door both sold in 2021, the buyer demolished them and sold the land as one allotment 9 months later for over $3 million. Greedy developers strike again.

how lovely is this? so neat and clean. If it weren't for the cracks it would be amazing. I bet whoever lived here had this in show room condition and I suspect had all the old furnture to match!!

Such a beautiful old home. Such a shame it will soon be gone.

Love love love that bathroom floor. So interesting.

This is a really nice bungalow here on the outside it is also a big place and from the sounds in the background this isn't out in the middle of a rural area but it is a really nice place, the inside is still very well in good shape and well cleaned, yeah not a bad place at all and this is a really magnificent find here but to bad they are going to demolish it Thanks for another wonderful episode and I hope you have a wonderful Merry Christmas Thank You.🇦🇺🇦🇺☃️🎄🎄☃️🇦🇺🇦🇺

🌟Hey Paul, oh my gosh what an absolute beauty I love it. Beautiful kitchen/dining area and absolutely loved the deck in the tree! beautiful wood floors and the other wood work features. Such a great shame it’s coming down 😢Thank you so much again for the tour ❤😊x🌟

A beautiful gem and the plasterwork on the ceilings was gorgeous. My type of house. Such a shame 😢

Lovely home....so sad to see it go. Always chuckle when I hear the smoke alarm going off in the background. 😂

Such a beautiful old home!

Loved that one, Paul. Another one of the "what a shame it's going to be knocked over" type! Despite the great entry, from a personal point of view I'd like the original dark timber to remain which would have retained it's 1920s identity. Thanks again. 👍

Thank you for the tour. Yes, those two homes seem to have had the same designers. -Love the details of the home. I must say, those beautiful wood floors leave a good impression! Those ceiling details! And the big bathroom's floor tiles were amazing! All of it represents hard work and craftsmanship. The surprise safe was really cool.

Nice house. I have told other explorers,that you should be careful around black mold. It can make you very sick. I have found this out the hard way. Be careful. Have a good week.😊

Lovely home, I enjoyed the tour :)

Tastefully renovated Love the stove cove 👍

Luv all the natural light and windows in this beautiful old home. Somebody took much care of it as i could see. Thank you Paul i enjoyed this one. Cheers 💜☮️

Wonderful time capsule!!

Adelaide is an Indian strategic take over place,

What a beautiful home 5his would have been love the front entrance just stunning thanks again Paul another great explore 👍😃

It’s a fascinating house, thanks for the tour. It’s lovely to see how the people who have lived here renovated the house with an eye to keeping the interiors fairly close to their original style. The quality of light inside is beautiful. Regarding your curiosity about the bathroom, a couple of things stand out. The tiling in the room looks modern (ie, post-1960s). It has probably had a couple of generations of renovation. The tiles on the floor looks more like a modern reproduction of a Victorian pattern. It’s the kind of heritage touch that matches the renovation that created the stripped back brick feature walls. A 1920s bathroom would have a very different colour scheme, and in a house of this quality you might expect a terrazzo floor. A renovator with an eye for heritage fittings would have retained original features like a pedestal basin, cabinets, or the bathtub. The layout of the laundry looks like it would have functioned as the bathroom in the original configuration of the house. The house has a very back-and-front design, with the grand formal rooms to the front side of the hallway that runs the length of the house and the kitchen and service areas gathered to the back. This design speaks to the house having once had live-in domestic staff like a maid or a housekeeper. The current central bathroom was probably a live-in housekeeper’s quarters. These usually had an external door so the domestic could access the service areas at the rear of the house without having to walk through the main formal areas of the house.

Paul, I'm glad you shared this with us nice old home. Sorry, it's another one on the chopping block. Take care.

Oh Paul, what a stunner bunner. Beautiful floors, ceiling roses, fireplaces, she would have been a beauty in her day, thank you again!😊❤

some of those old houses that i grew up in, the bathroom consisted of a walled in dark shower stall with a round dump shower head, the bath next to it along one wall, then a sink under wide open three pane window. The center was sometimes glass and other times they put a medicine cabinet and mirror there. The two windows sat either side and swung outwards and had the old swivel rod that acted as a window clasp as well as having staggered holes along the rod so that the window could be pinned in place in various positions. The toilet was sometimes in the room, or it was just outside a side door and had its own little room. Some were in closed and some had another door leading outside. The worst ones was when the external door didnt always fit the doorway, for air circulation issues, and had a foot gap underneath it and above it from the ground and top of the door frame. During winter those types were bitterly freezing cold. The door leading into the bathroom was sealed fairly well, but not the door to outside the house. Those old doors were usually a fast and quick way to break into the old homes because no one locked the door into the bathroom. I reckon that back area has been changed a tonne. The current toilet and laundry was probably one large room. The old toilet probably was through that suspected door in the bathroom and was removed because it had an unsealable door leading outside and was too uncomfortable during winter and summer. Either dealing with an over abundance of flys or bitter cold wind howling into the tiny room.

Beautiful old house. I hope someone moves in before it’s vandalized.

Fantastic place, there's a lot of antiques in there too. I can picture family and friends with all of that entertaining space. Wow!!!

Ingeniously safe place for the safe

Thankyou for at least creating a record of these beautiful old homes. Maybe someone, one day, will look at your videos & be inspired to create some beautiful new homes.

Great vidéo as Always can't wait to ser more👍 🎅🎄😺👋

What a shame such a beautiful home great videos thanks Paul 👍🌝🙂

Loved this house! Shameful it was demolished!!!!!

I like this house. With a little work I could live there.

Gosh what a beaut of a fine stately home, with perfect floors. I say better than the one next door! Developers need to learn how to build around these gems. My 1960ish neighborhood was built around a few early 1900's farm houses. Thanks for showing us Paul 🤠👍 I've aways wanted to ask if I can, are you a realtor? 🤔👍

Oh my goodness absolutely beautiful wow so so sad it's going to be gone

An excellent explore, thank you Paul. You're creating a lot of really valuable learning and resource material for fans of Australian domestic architecture and design. If you ever start a patreon, I'll join for sure. Definitely a closed-in doorway on the rear of the bathroom. The enclosed back verandah uses sheeting I've seen on 1950s-60s properties.

Cool place lots of changes made awesome 👌 cheers 🍻 urbex always a great video

What a shame it's moving and cracking. It's a lovely old place .... apart from the noise; is it on a busy road? The possibilities for a house like this in good structural condition, are endless. And the garden has room for so many things; vegetables, plants, hot tub, green house, bbq. I love the kitchen. I'd have an Aga in there! If you're gonna dream, dream big! 😊

What a beautiful old house 🏚. I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 ❤

Such a gorgeous house. I loved the details on the ceilings. It would have been so cool to lived in it.

A beautiful old home. I think the floor in the bathroom is original. The lines around the edges looks like it continues under the vanity and the bath. I agree that there was a door on there that was closed off.

The front exterior is stunning. It says, "Look at me!" Proud and rich looking. Floors are very nice. What is the wood? I give high compliments to the renovations that kept much of its original character. Great natural light. The prior owners showed respect for their property. Too much white, however. Spacious. Thank you so much.

What a beautiful home, nice open floor plan spacious jbeautiful kitchen and hardwood floor. Ive never seen mold in any of these places you have shown on here. Nice place none the less.

Thanks M8. 👍👍

Beautiful home. I would be so sad to leave this if it were mine. 😢 Thanks !

I think that your right about the doorway in the bathroom. I think that the room was a mudroom its right next to the coat closet and the tile on the floor was original mudroom tile that they perserved when putting in a bathroom inside the house.

Every bungalow you happen to document, still has today some kind of timeless beauty to it. Loved how the exposed the internal brick walls which gives an industrial look which breaks up the white to follow through to the enterance.....shes beautiful, just soo sad.😢

what a stunning home. So spacious.... even the bathroom looked huge. What a shame that it's to disappear. Thanks again Paul.

My coffee tea service set was made in 1925 too . fancy like that house was .

What a lovely house with so many great features still to see and, of course, a few modern updates. I'd happily live in this place. I kept looking at the exposed brick in the kitchen.. Would it look better exposed or covered to match the rest? But yet they white washed the entrance all that wood panneling. Hidden. Hmm, personal taste, really. Thanks for sharing Cheers MM :)

One of the best so sad it’s going xx

Hello Paul want another beautiful home I thought it was pretty cool that they made that into a safe thank you for taking us through the tour till next time take care love from upstate New York❤😊

loved the explores this year this is a beauty have a great Christmas

What a stunning home

Amazing! That entrance was just gorgeous ❤.

What a cool home. Thank you for sharing.

What a lovely home. So much space. I think the bathroom has a problem with mould on the ceiling because the original sash windows (which are in all the other rooms apart from the kitchen) have been changed and they don't open. The only ventilation in there are a few airbricks, but an extractor fan or an opening window is needed when someone enjoys a hot bath as much as they seemed to. The people at the back will have more things overlooking them than that tree platform, when the little boxes replace it. Shame it is going.

I love the wood floors. I like the kitchen too. Needs a new roof.

Was there more than one bedroom? They had their towel rails up high! A beautiful house ❤

Loved this house.

Looks waiting for re explore. We are here.

Lovely video here Paul. You have an eye for detail and this was a great place to see. It's sad that such a pretty place isn't being saved. I'm guessing the structural issues are the main reason it'll get pulled down. Our soils in South Australia are harsh on buildings, it seems.

loved the natural bricks inside the home it goes to show how big the home is the best part of the home is the kitchen nice and roomy and the butlers pantry was good too but the one thing I did not notice was the celler where you keep all the wines but again Paul thanks for showing this beautiful old bungalow

Beautiful old home

Wonderful place

another one to add to the archive loved it Paul it's yrs is the first one I normally watch sunday morning but being the time of year it is been a little slack😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

This one is stunning. So sad

Yes agreed, the large bathroom being original going by the tile floor in there.

Hi Paul What a lovely house! I didn’t expect it to look that good. I think you are right about there being a door in that second bathroom. They probably decided they wanted a bathtub and a shower so they closed it up and put the shower stall there. That kitchen was a real beauty. Not the usual houses you go to Paul and I don’t mean any disrespect to you. Everything from the hardwood floors to those beautiful ceilings. The original toilet and bath were definitely not upgraded or renovated. This house had lots of natural light coming in from those beautiful windows. I have to mention that safe. That was a smart place to put it no one would think of looking there. Just a really nice house Paul and Thank You for sharing it with us and bringing us along. Nice work. Keep yourself well and stay safe. 👍🆒🏠 How are your 3 cats doing? Give them each a pat on the head for me.🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

really nice house ty for showing us in the US.

Extremely well kept.

I'd buy it. I love that place.

Wow! What a beauty!! I see some things I would have differently in the Reno tho! Love the exposed brick. Is this house up for demo? Sad. The ceilings are exquisite! With the shower set right on the tile floor.....looks to me like the floor is original in the bathroom? Yes a doorway I agree.

beautiful house but didn't like the wide open kitchen merging with the entrance hall, loved the in the trees deck, thanks Paul

Thanks Paul for showing us this beautiful home, pity they painted everything white including the fire place but I guess they did this to lighten up the house. This house would have been a pleasure to live in before the renovations but still enough left to love. Sad to see such a grand old lady end like this.

Thank you for the vid: A beautiful, graceful home. I agree with other comments that the original toiler and bathroom would have been outside, off the veranda. The STUNNING tiles in the 'new' bathroom look remarkably like tiles one can see in entry ways in some houses around Melbourne. I think that was a door out to the veranda and the kitchen door might be new.

Nice to see a Adelaide home again Paul. The stove would have possibly been a green and cream SAGASCO. The bathroom had a full strip out and would have had a claw cast iron bath, may be.

This home is so nice and welcoming from the front and the beautiful craftsmanship on the inside, I would want more kitchen cabinets especially upper cabinets and make a change to the first bedroom by removing the long wardrobe closet totally and putting in a appropriate closet to allow for much better Bed placement. Mino remodeling of the bathroom, bigger better shower and interior linen closet and different window to allow for much better airflow to alleviate the mold growth problem. I wish this home could be saved I would like it myself. 28:53

Yes that was a doorway from outside to that bathroom, when you panned down you could see the original threshold to the door as a step up from the outside veranda area that is now enclosed.

Is that due for demolition? So sad someone made that place awsome and kept a lot of the original charm that must have been so hard to walk away from that place

I didn’t realize it is scheduled for demolition; too bad someone isn’t going to move this beautiful old house.

I could easily fix the wall cracks and the mould in the bathroom so in never comes back. Such a pity the house will be demolished as it could serve another family for years to come.

Urbex indigo thanks for sharing this video with me this home was a really nice home why do they pick on these nice homes my friend i am from the U.S.A and i enjoy your channel my friend and i waill always show support to you and God Bless and thanks

So clean, no ce layout, light fixtures.

Do you do any heritage advocacy work Paul? You know your stuff and what is happening to this country.

Such a shame to go to developers. It’s a gorgeous home so spacious and light filled. The Reno’s were tastefully done too.

Don’t build them like this anymore. Shame really, as they feel more like a home than the spiritless units they put up in its place. Thanks Paul x

What a beauty.🇦🇺

I think the bathroom would have originally just been a bathroom. The shower & toilet have been added. The original toilet was at the end of the balcony beside the washhouse. it is the additions and probable removal of original sash windows that has caused the mould issue.

Kind of reminds me of an American Arts and Crafts bungalow. In fact it looks much like my parents’ bungalow, which is also most likely going to be torn down. Even the garage is nearly identical. The floor is also nearly identical. Rooms are arranged a little differently.

Sup from Kentucky

As for building on clay, the American writer Eudora Welty once said, "It's like living in a slow motion earthquake!" What's the story behind the neglect of an obviously splendid rendering of the world-wide arts and crafts movement? I'm guessing a local change in land usage, but that could be anything. This is no small property for an urban environment. And this one's not so far gone it could not be recovered relatively economically. Sad to see it go, if that's its fate. Thanks for the friendly trespassing!
