- This house is in the best condition out of the 4 on the west side of this condemned block. Such a shame it will be probably demolished in the near future. I cant believe it has not been done over by thieves and vandals.
I do so admire the way that Australian Homes so often have a laundry room. Something that is sadly lacking in all but the biggest & best planned houses in the U.K. Thankyou for sharing. I think this would have been a good place to live. Loved the floors & the veranda.
We all take laundry rooms for granted in Australia - it is very rare to find even old houses without a dedicated laundry. We're at the opposite end of the scale where we find the lack of a laundry in British homes to be quite weird - and it seems even weirder to us to have a washing machine in the kitchen. But of course old British homes were never designed for laundry rooms, there's nowhere to put one, so the kitchen is the logical place.
I was even told once that a british family moved here and they couldn't get used to the laundry so they turned it into something else and put the washer in the kitchen lol. I can't tell you how true that is but I love these little cultural differences. Makes life interesting ;)
vandals are like vultures as soon as they sniff abandoned in they go to cause problems. Someone loved this home once, gorgeous place I can see what this place once was. Your brave being on your own. Tyvm
Hi Wendy thanks for watching and appreciating this one, I did a follow up video on this one a while back and unfortunately it and the rest on this block have all been demolished and a new massive complex is about to go up.
All your videos are enjoyable but I have to say I really enjoy the out back old settlers exploring the most. 👍
This home is unbelievably beautiful .,
I passed these about three years ago or there abouts. Only had time to investigate one before they put up demolition fences. Great video. I noticed there all gone now. Unfortunately this road is like Greenhill Road in the seventies. Losing all its street appeal and giving way to development. Unfortunately those researching their family history will not find their relatives homes. Remember folks take lots of photo's, and don't forget to keep copies on a USB or external hard drive in case you lose them. Great work mate I wish I could have explored these with you.
Awesome Michael which one did you investigate? :-) I live up just passed these Michael and gradually noticed them becoming overgrown and when the big fence went up I went in for a look and filmed them as you see. You so right about Anzac Hwy losing its street appeal, it would be amazing to see Greenhill road before all those business fronts and units went up. Luckily Google street view is also kind of keeping track of what is being replaced. There will be many more maybe we can investigate! :-)
This sure looks like it was another beautiful home in it's day. Love your exploring and your accent too!
I adore the window seats in these old place such a lovely feature
Beautiful such a shame it’s not being lived in. I really love the old homes they have so much character
What a charming house! You're right, such a waste!
Like your explores. Love your accent.could listen to your voice all day. Keep exploring.
Hey Brooke thanks for watching and your comments! :-) Will definitely keep exploring, stay tuned for some more! Cheers.
Ditto.... Very gentle Australian' accent.
Hi, Paul I saw this amazing home ,and read some of the comments and they said ,that they are no longer there, how sad but I'll keep watching ,big hug from a Frenchy in Australia 🇫🇷🇦🇺🤗
Yep this entire block of seven homes was demolished and new tiny town of units going up. Bummer!
What a lovely house. Can't believe it's not being done up and sold. I would happily live there as it is.
Hey Laurie thanks for watching! Ironically I just uploaded a follow up video to this house. You may find it interesting :-)
I love the outside of this one! Its very decorative. Glad you didn't fall through.
This style is know as Tudor or mock Tudor Mari. The high pitched gable with the colored wood crossing over is the key feature :-)And also the round pillar veranda supports :-)
What an impressive house. This is on my fave list 😊💕
These houses are on Anzac Highway aren't they. I pass them on the way to and from work. Couldn't believe they would demolish such nice properties and wondered what they looked like inside.
Thanks very much for preserving them on video.
Hey the Zodiacz! Thanks for watching, yeah it is a real shame for sure. I live near by and noticed them a while back becoming over grown and thought to myself no one must live in them anymore. Then the construction barrier went up so I thought time to have a peek. :-) Glad your a local too!!!!!
Why are these beauiful homes being knock down for? It's just a shame. Love your video as always. x
Urban renewal Michele.......they are all gone now.......huge complex of units going up!!!!! Sad. thanks for watching :-)
Once again great video I lovely house shame it’s not occupied keep the Vandals out best wishes from the UK
Hey Thomas thanks for watching! :-) Unfortunately this house and the rest of the block has been completely demolished......I am currently doing a video on what happened to it. My second most recent video shows this house being slowly destroyed......Sad
Wow what an awesome place. It’s looks stunning from outside. Loved it.
Creepy when you called out, reminding me of my exploration of the SAMCOR building @ Pooraka. Some parts had no natual light & my bike was outside, ready to go.
In the late 1970s the villa on the Florence St corner of 52 Sydenham Rd Norwood was open & deralict. It was restored a few years later, but the 4 single front empty row houses, south, were demolished. The streets were not quite so pretty back then.
I love hearing about past places and others explores :-) Yeah when its dark it definitely makes for an eerie explore, I often wonder how many times certain old homes have been left abandoned and then brought back. Cheers for watching mate :-)
Why doesn't anyone in Australia want to buy such a beautiful house? I think there are a lot of people from other nations here who would buy it right now, including me. It's a shame!
Beautiful house, has a wonderful style, it is very sad that they are going to demolish it, a real pity. Thank you very much for approaching her inside. Your work is great. Thank you...thank you!!!
Hi Silvia :-) Im glad you enjoy this home as it is now gone along with the other homes on the block. Such a shame. Thanks for your support and for watching :-)
I am very sad to see these homes go, beautiful old places.
Yep! And a huge precinct of little units are going up in there Jeanette!! Anzac Hwy is looking different every week!
greetings from south australia. great find. cheers.
Hey sweety gal I`m also in South Australia! Thanks for watching :-)
Great video. Prob a nice home at one time. Liked the fireplaces & wood floors, be beautiful all waxed & shined up.
Another beautiful fireplace. Yes the floors are beautiful.
What a gorgeous place. Must have been something in it's day. I can imagine piano music sweeping out of the front room and onto the lawn where people were drinking lemonade or tea and also playing croquet. So sad.
This one is really nice you can see how beautiful it once was. The floors are beautiful ❤️ Absolutely love it and really like watching your explanations. I just started watching you this last week.
Weird no closets in the bedrooms the fireplaces are cool thanks for showing🌺🌺🌺
The outside of this one was really cute, cottage style, nice yard. Shame people just let them go. Great video.
Hey Tamara, yeah it`s looks European a bit but i`m sure the style was one that is in our history`s trends of building. :-)
Still Nice looking house outside..I can clean up and live in this house...its wow! OMG...needs some renovation..
Wow! What a great find!
Hello from Missouri in America. Thank you. I enjoy the way you describe the homes. Nice voice. Please be careful.
Hi Pam :-) Cheers from Australia, thanks for the kind words! And thanks for watching! :-)
I’d ‘kill’ to have a large roomed house like that ❤️
thanks nice find 😀
Awesome . I like the front side varadah. 👍
Just a lovely old home. Fixed up it would be cute.
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
La disposition des pièces est spéciale, comme si elles avaient été déplacées pour certaine je pense à la cuisine surtout. Merci pour la visite
What a cool house it is a shame it's left to rot, can't understand why these lovely houses are left like this so sad. X
Hey Lynn unfortunately this lovely one and the others on its block are in the process of demolition. I`m doing an update video soon of this block showing it being slowly dismantled.......Sad
Urbex Indigo oh no that is very sad 😪😪 thank you for the update I will watch for the notification, great video by the way I ❤️ loved it. xx💋xx
EARTH ANGEL😇 NICE 🔥 fireplaces, great tile flooring, sweet honey 🍯 pine polished floors, well kept 🏡.home. SUN 🌞 ROOM/PORCH quite nice. ALSO nice yard! 👍😍🎃🧟♂️
Hey Earth Angel :-) This house is part 1 of 7 on a block that is now completely demolished. I guess this one the owners just sold up to the developer and tenants moved out quick and left all their stuff there. I will be showing a follow up video on how this whole block came down. :-)
Urbex Indigo thank you from Earth Angel!😘
Love this house I want it for myself !!!!!!!
It sure was a beauty Valerie........now completely demolished with the rest of this block. Such a shame. Thanks for watching :-)
Nice to see an Aussie channel. Road widening probably as on South road, they demolish all those lovely old homes. Iv'e always wanted to see in one of these beauties. Lovely. Subscribed.
Hey Kristina thanks for watching and Yes this is South Aussie and some Victoria too! :-)
Love the front porch with the columns and the drive down the side. Nice kitchen and indoor back porch. I notice you all don't use ceiling fans very much. I'm sure it was a nice house at one time.
Nice old tudor style gone to the wrecking ball also Brenda, this one one of my early ones too hehe :-)
Gorgeous home I think your brave going on your own, tyvm
It was fun and exciting being in there alone and I knew I could made a run pretty easy if some nasty squatters in there! :-) This one was best condition out of the block :-0
A termite found a piece of wood, tasted it and found it good, and that is why our cousin May, fell through the parlour floor today.
Haha I should not laugh but that is well said and quite correct i`m guessing ? :-)
Beautiful home I would love there
Lovely fireplace in that one! The bushes are gonna take this place over in no time..Good that you got the video!👍👩🏭🕊️❤️
This place is about to be bulldozed with the rest of the block, the salvage crews are in there at the moment picking apart the floorings and ceilings. Pretty sad hey. New development on its way.
Cool looking house. Too bad it is wasting away.
This is by far the most compartmentalized house I've ever seen
It could be such a BEAUTIFUL HOME!!!!! LOVE the exterior, but the interior ceiling could be QUITE EXPENSIVE to repair!!!! GREAT FIND THOUGH, KUDOS!!!!
I love your video's, I have watched quite a few of them,,, these 4 houses are so lovely, I love the design, the roofs,,, just can't figure out why they are being demolished, we have some that look very similar here in Decatur Alabama,,,love this style of house so much,,, is it like Tudor style maybe? I think you said there might be foundation problems with these homes in one of your earlier videos,,, such a shame,,, so lovely,,,
Hi Jo, thanks for your support, glad you are enjoying. :-) Yes this is a tudor style and it was built in 1935 Jo. :-) This whole block has now been completely demolished as new development is putting up a huge complex of town houses. This road is a rezoning area and a lot of these old character homes are being targeted for renewal due to the huge lots they sit on. Dam shame hey....
I have just retired I could just imagine living in this little house where is it I think I could buy it
Hey Patricia it is in Adelaide. It is on a demolition list with other on this block for a new urban redevelopment project. Thanks for watching
It's weird how some of those rooms are really nice and others are completely demolished.
Hey Schlumbucket, yep I think the foundations have problems from the ground sinking. Thanks for watching :-)
I would’ve died if someone said hello back haha .
What a wonderful find. So I hear it is now torn down (from you haha). I have to say, you do find some interesting places. My favorite look on houses is the fudge stripe!! Be safe in your journeys.
Hey Sheila yes unfortunately this old beauty is now completely gone with the rest of the block. Tudor style home built in 1935. Shame it could not have many more decades of family living Cheers for watching :-)
Would be nice if you had someone working with you, do not feel its safe for one alone, will keep you in prayer. Your doing a good job filming. Thank you!!
Most of the time it is ok Nancy but I do agree another person would be very appropriate. :-)
Such a beautiful home just a heads up next time when you film one of your videos can you show the architectural work and take your time doing it please I love your videos keep up the good work plz redo this vid.....
I agree the video seemed a bit rushed........
Keep an eye out for the re do, it is just up the road. Have to be quick as the slavage teams are in the first two houses on this block.

Beautiful wood floors
hey do not make them like these anymore hey Barb, glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching :-)
Such s waste, lovely exterior and long porch. S lot of expensive details like the doors, could have been fixed into a first family home for a small family. I have never seen that particular style house, looks older to me. Great find. Shame about the graffiti and damage to hall ceiling. Love the long entrance hall with Windows. Beautiful house in its day a long time ago.
Outside is so deceiving. Looks huge outside and it's really pokey rooms inside. Nice looking house though.
Sure was mate, was thinking it was going to be a mini mansion! lol was hoping...........
mkuebler5 I was thinking the same thing
One of the ceilings looked really intricate but I couldn't tell as there was only a quick snippet before you went back to focusing on all those floors. There could be less floors, yes?
eccentrik954 you are absolutely correct in saying there should be less floors. There is always room for improvement doing these videos believe me. :-) Thanks for watching and the feedback. Cheers.
What a beauty !
Shame it and the entire block have now been demolished Jane. Cheers for watching :-)
I love the outdoors views, it could be a beautiful place - please show more of the outside patios and gardens?
Hey AMERICAN GIRL I was just over at this block again and i`m sad to say that the salvage process has begun and these home will be bulldozed very soon! This house in particular is one of the lesser picked apart ones but has a lot of graffiti now. I will upload some recent footage of this block soon. The mantles initially would have been removed by someone who wanted to salvage them. This whole block was purchased and is up for redevelopment. Glad I video`d them before the salvage and graffiti :-)
Nice channel, I subscribed! :) Sad to see such beautiful house decaying. I explore in Norway :)
Hey DecayExplorer96 thanks for watching! I will check out your channel. Cheers :-)
This is so sad to see what was once a beautiful home could be today, go to waste.
So true Richard, and this whole block now is just level dirt.......sad. Thanks for watching :-)
This is a gorgeous house!
Hey gaylee! It sure is but it is about to be picked apart and knocked down with the rest of the block unfortunately.....sad
Urbex Indigo was there a sinkhole issue or something? I hope they reuse those floors!
So sad, but intriguing! Thanks for doing these! I love them!
Hi, from Alabama, USA. If I"d been in it, I would have looked for a way into the attic and checked for hidden closets, like down that hall from the first closet, just before where the ceiling was hanging.
99.99% of houses in Australia wouldn't have an attic,or a basement. All you would find in an Australian roof space would be insulation,rat and/or possum droppings and dust.
I really like your videos. I agree with the other comments slow down the panning. The ceilings in your home down under are quite beautiful in most of the homes you video. Show them off before the are demo in your videos. Pan each room slowly...Thank You
Your right Linda and since this early one I have improved a lot and even done a follow up video on this particular home where you can see it all much better, here it is :-) czcams.com/video/f4NZhjZFlD0/video.html
Such a cute little house so sad
This block is completely demolished now........Will have a short doco on it soon! :-)
I grew up in a house very similar to this in another suburb in Adelaide (St Peters) back in the early 60's to mid 70's, my mum sold it for $75,000 in 1976 (i think) , it was back on the market early 2018 and sold for over $1million. Solidly built with high ceilings, also with the toilet out the back. This house is in pretty good nick. But i guess location is the key here.
My second most recent visit shows the slow demise of this house. This entire block is now completely demolished. 7 houses were on it and there are videos of them all before they got knocked down. Will have a follow up video on how it unfolded soon :-)
That was a very nice house. With the outdoor toilet I am wondering if was rented out for functions. Too bad some jerks had to tag it up.
I got the impression that that whole back area was some sort of function area for entertaining. Great call mate. :-)
May I ask if you could look up ward at the ceilings when shooting within.
Please it gives good context to what debris may be on the floor.
Good safe journeys!
Hi DVincentW, lucky I did a follow up video not long ago of this home and made sure I got heaps of shots of the ceilings before it was demolished :-)
Nice, very nice 😀
Hey GreenGamer! :-) Unfortunately these homes are in the salvage and demolition process......I will be doing an update video on this entire block soon. They will be totally gone forever soon.......
Interesting "chalet" appearing structure. If by chance it is a frame building it would not be all that difficult
to move (if one had a lot nearby). The termites have been dining sans a matrie-d but that can be a typical
condition for the area. One would have to sacrifice the exterior porches, add-ons etc but the move would
be possible. Just a silly thought based on 75 years of some time not so great ideas. Do enjoy the day, J.R.
Hey JR here is a follow up video showing the start of the end for this House and the block czcams.com/video/JrkhZtyiaOQ/video.html
Careful and Godbless!!!
Hi Euberta, thanks for your support. :-)
Woow big area broo i like that house
Hey :-) Unfortunately this block has now been demolished.
I would so buy this house!
Me too Kelby but unfortunately the salvage teams are in there now making way for the demo teams so not too long these homes will be no longer.........sad hey.
It's a shame these beauties, from the 1930s I'd guess, are being torn down in favor of tasteless boxes of apartments/condos. Even more: the fact that no one cares? Adios history!
Well said John! Yep this whole block is now levelled dirt and awaiting construction of huge complex of cheapo units! Thanks for watching John :-)
What a sweet looking house! Pokey, my foot! My home would fit into that sort of double front room. Well almost. Maybe houses are bigger in Australia than the Uk? Plenty of space there.
Yeah I think the house is quite large too. Thanks for watching Sarah! :-) Shame this house will get demolished.
Urbex Indigo That floor looks a bit dodgy though. Do you get termites in that area?
Can only hope that someone will build something with some style there instead of the usual bland, boring, boxes, we seem to get dished out as standard these days. The columns and different shapes gave it a bit of style & individuality and somehow made it look friendly. Looks better than a plain flat front with square windows.
Yep the character of all the building styles of decades gone by are declining so I think some of the Urbex videos from all around the world will actually be used as archived history at some point because it is documentation of history. Thats what I tell myself anyway hahaha. :-)
Why are they empty
Love this house , hard to imagine abondoning it
Back area off laundry i s for hanging laundry. Nice house. Expensive in it's day.
That place should be called the house of doors. Could you imagine slamming doors all day? Nice find though
Wow such a waste of a beautiful home
Hansel and Gretel looking 🏠 .....Sweet
Hey Mindy thats what I thought when I saw the room from the other homes yard! :-) Just needs one of those dutch windmills in the yard. :-)
I can't believe that a gorgeous house like that is sitting empty. With the right amounts of both care and money, that house could be brought back to life and be a nice home for somebody :) And I thought Americans were wasteful
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful house. I must ask is it common with so many fireplaces or do you have cold nights ??? Take care
Hi Polarbear Lind, yes even though Australia is well know for being a very dry hot country, the winters do get quite cold, fire places were definitely needed and part of great interior design in these old beauties! thanks for watching :-)
All that sand on the driveway and the back verandah - looks like out of all the things they could have salvaged in the place, someone really wanted all the pavers.
Just checked on Google Maps - Sept 2019, the houses have all now been demo'd and a huge group of apartments is being built on the site.
Yep. I used to live just up past these houses :-)
Beautiful house, sadly we are all loosing our heritage too stupid building practices, structure problems are not always the reasons for people leaving. Forced moving because they want the land to build crap housing! Stay safe!
Sad! Really liked outside of this one. Could have been fixed possibly, the interior wasn't terribly destroyed. Love the respect you try to give to these homes.
Hi Mary thanks for watching! :-) I did a follow up video on this home a few videos back to show how this block has now been completely demolished unfortunately. A lot of people have like this old Tudor Style one which was built in 1935 so I felt this one deserved a nice send off. The rest of the block i`l do in another video.
So beautiful with much potential. Open up some rooms by taking out a couple of walls. Open floor plan would greatly work for this place.
Hey Shannon thanks for watching! The sad thing is that this home and the others are currently in the salvage and demolition stages. I will be doing an update video on this block soon. It will all be gone very soon..........
My question is what caused the structural damage? It is truly sad that those beautiful floors and the beautiful fireplaces have to be demolished. Earthquake, soil condition, drainage issues???
Adelaide, South Australia is renown to have moving soil which leads to a lot of homes having foundation problems. Particulary the older homes before building standards were altered to address the soil problem :-)
@@urbexindigo5164 When I lived in Denver Colorado, we had soil called Bentonite that would swell up destroying foundations, cracking roads and driveways. It took an engineering feat to prevent it from happening. We always had a soil report before we bought a home, otherwise we could find "Longs Peak" in our basement.
What is the big metal tank type thing in the back yard?
I think it was a rain water yank marineonewife :-)
Spirits in all the houses in that area. This house has a lot of spirits in it. At least 5 or 6. Did you feel like someone was watching you?
Hi Linda, the houses just prior to this one I felt there was a weird vibe for sure. So much history here and it has all gone now.....thanks for watchng :-)
I can see me living in this one! Nice but...sad
What a beautiful house,I wonder why all the mantels have been removed? It's a shame to let the house just sit and rot or get vandalised
Heidi thanks for watching! Yes this house is very nice and unfortunately this block is in the salvage stage ready for the demolition teams to come in and knock them down. Redevelopment is going to claim this whole block. Sad to see them go.
New subscriber, man. Where are you from? Hello from Oregon USA!
Hey J Smith thanks for subbing and watching. I`m down here in Australia mate, it`s winter for us at the moment. Hope things are good in Oregon! Go the Trailblazers! Clyde Drexler. :-)
If you see graffiti, you know that anything good in the house that can be carried easily has been taken away by thieves, preventing legitimate urban explorers from seeing it or showing it to the rest of us.
Hey Reese so true! Unfortunately it gets worse this house along with the block are in the process of being demolished completely for redevelopment. Sad. Thanks for watching
What a beautiful home. Is this abandonment for areas to build large buildings with little pods for people to live? I've read about this. Frightening. I look at these videos thinking of my home and all my stuff and what it will be like if I die soon and have no family. I want to get rid of all the stuff.
Thanks for watching Rainwood Grace :-) Yes unfortunately this whole block has been leveled for about 2 months now, there will be a huge complex of units and town houses.......pods. Sad hey.
Why are the doors always open?
Is it for ventilation?
Be careful and you should wear mask gloves and shoe protectors in some of these houses some have mold that is dangerous.
I should more often than I do I know Debra :-)
I just started watching your videos (love them) so I may have missed this, but why was the whole block abandoned ?
Hi Marina! :-) Well i`m actually doing a follow up video to this entire block which has now been completely demolished. I captured the process taking place and will give the reasons more in depth but it was for new development as usual.......Sad.
Hi ! Ugh, new developments .... I agree, sad !
