Abandoned- Quirky/Cool and unique 60`s home. Now gone forever.

[@jochenmachine]

I'm sure back in the 70's or 80's it must have been such a beautiful place to live. Wish we could go back in time and see it in the glory days.

Would be a blast to see this place holding a groovy party back in the day hey Jochen :-) cheers for watching

[@Bhappi137]

Gosh the 70s were a tasteless period weren’t they ? So much brown ! Who sat back and said ‘ this brown plastic wood effect brown ceiling is gorgeous it’s going to add stacks to the value on this place love , I’m really glad we went with my idea !

[@urbexindigo5164]

Haha spot on Claire and my parents had brom 70`s carpet in the kitchen! haha, I think there must have been long time owners who just kept tinkering with this place , cheers for watching :-)

[@Bhappi137]

Urbex Indigo it’s bitter sweet because you can see they did really lavish time and love on this house , which i actually did like ,my Nan had the carper sweeper , and the odd ‘ bits of counter top ‘ I don’t know why that was a thing but you’re just got to look back and say ‘ well it was a 70s thing ! God I’m loving these vlogs I’m in the UK 🇬🇧 and I’m hooked on these thank you for what you do ❤️

[@dorothysullivan9151]

That little cat door may have been for milk deliveries. That house does have an unusual floor plan with all it’s nooks and crannies.

[@urbexindigo5164]

that is the best explanation so far for the little flap door Dorothy and makes sense because the home is not accessible from the laundry and leads straight to the kitchen :-) thanks for watching :-)

These houses are so nice. I love the fireplace, the drapes, bay window, front door, and the nice sized pantry. I wondered where the sink was. Beautiful wooden ceiling, but strange door with glass/plexiglass in the top of it. Pass thru looks like a dryer vent. OMG, she is a very famous artist that painted and lived in Portugal and then moved back to Ireland. What a shame it is water damaged. Thank you for the tour of this once pretty home. Have a great weekend!!!!

[@mamiebobb4173]

Loved seeing this place - although it did make me feel a little sad and nostalgic. I'm a child of the 50's myself so by the 60's I was sure that everything was very new and exciting. New houses like this were sharp and clean and bright and reflected the new space age we were entering. Now seeing them torn down for something 'new' just makes me feel even older. Of course it allows me to see how shabby the basic construction of both the buildings and the furnishings in them actually were. The old buildings were built to last while these seemed to be built with an expiration date. Thanks for saving this one before she was gone forever!

[@kilobravo449]

Yup I remember the modern futuristic homes from that time period too and u r so right about them!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Great assessment of this place and the 60`s Mamie :-) It really puts in to place how we perceive things at the time and then years later and go full circle in thinking. We are all getting older but I guess we just keep on enjoying the ride. Cheers for watching :-)

It reflects it's times, a more communal less formal approach, Dining was less formal, the window seat in the bay was missing a huge pillow and acoustic guitar . The Garden must have been a treat with the trees and aviary. Like a forest glade. Thanks for the timely arrival.

Yes, it is a unique looking home for the 60's design wise. The interior decor looks really more 70's. In NSW many 60's homes were just the typical 3 bedroom, fibro place with laundry off the kitchen. I like the idea of the outside laundry with this one

I love this house. It's so strange.....looks like it was added onto here and there, because of the interior windows. It makes me think of a modular, or mobile home inside. Mobile homes of the 70's had "wood" paneling but also a lot of built ins like the nightstands in the bedroom. I think it was popular in the late 60's early 70's to put a low pile carpet in the kitchen. Such a groovy old place....so sad that it will be gone.

I was quite perplexed by the wood stove in the living room. It seems it was placed according to the probable furniture in mind. Thanks for this. In California near San Francisco.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Nancy after a closer look that stove seemed to be only a small wood heater but it was still in a funny place, the top did not have any hot plates or anything. Cheers for watching :-)

[@patriciarussell7487]

Another cute one! Sad gone.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Agreed Patricia, I would live in this one dor sure, thanks for watching :-)

[@leabarto8156]

All I can think is WOW! This place was a dream. Nice lighting and and copper fireplace. Love the gardens especially! What a shame though that another peace of beautiful history is doomed. Thanks for making my day my friend!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Lea, i was hoping you guys would like this place as I thought it was pretty cool too! And all the trees and garden too, glad I could help, thanks for watching :-)

[@jeniw8586]

Fun looking around this place with you. Another re-model job gone wrong, I think.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Jeni, yes it seems they were not afraid of the outcomes of experimenting haha, cheers for watching :-)

[@MrOnyxWolf]

Really like the interior of the place. The lantern design is certainly a nice touch.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey MrOnyxWolf :-) cheers for watching and the support I do know you comment a lot :-) Yeah I did like the lanterns, I could live here for sure :-)

[@christinet.4159]

I love your word "quirkily." Lol . This is a unique little place.....very early 70s I think. Thank you for sharing it.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Quirkily is now an official word Christine haha :-)

[@urbexindigo5164]

Sure is a unique little place , thanks for watching :-)

[@joandunn7172]

Love this house. Nice vibes. Sad to see it's to be pulled down :( You do a good job.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers for the support Joan, glad you are enjoying the videos and this cool house, thanks for watching :-)

[@susanmiller4159]

Wow. When you say quirky you mean quirky. Looks like Austin Powers safe house. Was neat to see but what a mish mash of different paneling and carpets. Wouldn’t it have been fun to see the furniture. If those walls could talk. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@urbexindigo5164]

Probably lots of cool parties back in the day Susan and the walls would know a lot haha :-) Have a few more quirky ones like this to come also, thanks for watching :-)

[@susanmiller4159]

Love them all. Keep em coming ❤️

[@andrewhallett-patterson9778]

Well, that was different. Just the design, which was really a single bedroom with a huge entertainment area, is really different. The placement of interior structures is close to random, as the kitchenette/kitchen design shows, the placement of the log heater, between two doors? Really !!. And the bathroom between bedroom and kitchen? Great if you get the munchies whilst having a shower. But the heater installed in the larger of the two kitchens is just odd. And the cheap wood paneling..reminded me so much of the family room at my parents house before the reno, when I discovered Dad panelled over brick !!! Quirky house ? Definitely. Love to of discovered the builders thoughts behind the orginal design. Thanks again for the vid bro. 👍👍🇦🇺

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey mate cheers for stopping by, it does seem very random and follows no rule of thumb but I like it haha. Seems they were not deterred by any outcome and just went with it. My parents put brown 70`s carpet down in the kitchen when I was born lol. Stay tuned mate as I have a few more of these unique/random 60`s places to come also. Cheers for watching :-)

Hi. You might have done your research on the painting but if you didn't I did some for you. Liz Brophy was born in Australia she moved to Portugal after winning a newspaper arts award, she had art exhibitions of her work. & they are also on auction sites. She now lives in Co. Wicklow Ireland. You might have let a rare piece pass through your hands. I liked this place it was normal compared to some you show. Tfs . :)

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Mighty Mo, I did not but a lot of people has put in the info about her and I am so glad I did check what name was on it as Liz is no slouch and quite desirable artist. Cheers for the info Mighty mo :-)

[@jennymodgoddess]

Hi Urbex Indigo! That is quirky to have 2 kitchens. That island is werid shaped. My aunt's house ceiling was that low too. Interesting house. Great video.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed this quirky one too Jenny, very odd shapes everywhere but I like it. Cheers again :-)

[@jimmyfortrue3741]

Beautiful freestanding fireplace.... Considered buying a used one similar to that ( hammered copper ), 20 years ago for under a grand but just couldn't really make it successfully fit in my homes floorplan.

[@tracylewis9725]

Groovy i love it🥰😊

[@urbexindigo5164]

Groovy for sure Tracy thanks for watching :-)

[@pamelaklein98.85]

I love the carved wood door and copper fireplace. I love all the accents in the home. What a shame. Glad you could show it to us.👍

[@urbexindigo5164]

I agree Pamela, lots of cool and nice little details to look at here and the large garden and trees I really liked too, cheers for watching :-)

[@wendy833]

Dysfunction junction layout for sure. The slider into the kitchen? 2 kitchens? Fire stove right in the middle of the room? Multiple tile patterns in the bathroom and in the rest of the house. It was confusing. Here's your coffee passthru while you slave away doing laundry!

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey Wendy yes pretty non conforming layout but I like it haha :-) he 2 kitchens were cool too, the pass thru was a head scratcher though! lol Cheers for watching :-)

[@sonyawester5303]

I think the extra kitchen is called a butlers pantry...

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Sonya, yes I think you are right others have said the same, thanks for watching :-)

[@garbage854]

Really cool place, wish it was saved.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Me too mate, shame to see all the trees and bushes gone too, cheers for watching :-)

The prize was a year long, all expenses paid trip for two to Europe which allowed her to visit Ireland for the first time as well as France, Spain and Portugal. The artist lived and exhibited in Portugal with her husband until 1993 when she returned to Ireland, Co. Wicklow where she currently resides. Elizabeth is Ireland’s leading Impressionistic painter and one of the fastest selling living artists in this country. She is a renowned and established modern Irish Artist, and has exhibited extensively both in Ireland and all over the world. Her works are in many private and public collections including the Australian Ambassador to Portugal, Museum of Natural History, New York, Department of Primary Industries, Canberra, France, Portugal, Spain, England and Ireland. Her paintings also belong in many corporate collections such as: Eagle Star Insurance Company, Ulster Bank, Allied Irish Banks and Bank of Ireland. Most of her art sells for around 3,000 and under - And I did not see that painting on any of the sales lists.

[@showaltermicro]

Do to the fact the painting has pulled loose from the right side of the frame do to moisture- that may be a real painting by her.

[@showaltermicro]

If they are destroying that house- see if you can get that painting from the owner- would be sad sad loss if it is real.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Wow!! thanks for awesome research Charles, so glad I checked the name, although the unfortunate part is I have no idea what happened to the painting as 4 days ago I drove past this place and it is now just a vacant lot of dirt.....bummer. I bet it was thrown away....Looks like Liz is a real celebrated and decorated artist. So cool. thanks again for all that info Charles and for watching :-)
