They made this bungalow their dream home then it was taken away. Built 1925/Amazing extensions.

[@ghostrider9978]

Compulsory acquisition usually equates to heartbreak I’ve found,,, another good one mate 👌

[@marthamitchell9452]

Here in the states we call it eminent domain when they take away your property for public improvements like roads. It’s never good.

[@pattigolden1]

So many of these houses remind me of a line from "Big yellow taxi". "They paved Paradise and put up a parking lot". 😢 There was a lot of love put into that home.

[@freebeeies]

Beautiful: but so sad! ~Debbi~

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

omg this place was Absolutely beautiful such a shame

[@sandrakoch8682]

Oh my Paul, you found a beautiful loving home. It is sad to see it gone. I would love to live in this home.

[@cheryl1575]

Love these old places you show. Such character. The photos showing it done up were so cozy. So sad 😢 One thing i enjoy is hearing all the amazing birds singing away in the background. So cheery! Just watched one the other day that had an orange 🍊 & lemon 🍋 tree with big old fat fruit. I'm sorry, but since they'd be demolished, I think it'd be perfectly okay to big a big ole bag full to take home. A shame to waste! Thanx for giving me a glimpse into Australia's old homes. I'm from Wisconsin

This is another awesome looking house left abandoned for the tunnel project and sad to see it being demolished along with other nice houses like them in the area to make way for the tunnel. this house is a really nice place and glad that you are getting a chance to explore it and the others before they are all torn down. another awesome video and until your next abandoned house take care and Thank You.🏘👍🇦🇺

[@susanbradley2465]

Thank you for taking me along on another beautiful home tour.This one in great shape even with the renovation done to it.I pretty sure the owners didn't get what they wanted for all the renovation and stuff they put into it.I hope the reno guys were able to get some nice stuff from this home.Can't wait for the next one.❤

[@Sierrasky-y6h]

What a shame you can tell they loved their home and took care of it. It’s a lovely house and yard.

[@MarkS-sf2ms]

What a beautiful home, someone's dream home for sure. I live south of Adelaide, so the chances of me using the South Road upgrade at some point is 100%. I feel bad for everyone who has had to give up their homes for it. I can only imagine how they felt getting the letter from the government that they have to move out, and then a couple years from now driving on South Rd themselves near where their home used to be. You can only hope the government compensated them well. Thanks so much Paul for documenting these places before they're gone for good. Love your videos.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hey Mark, cheers for the support and for watching, glad you really appreciate these old homes! :-)

[@rhiannonhammerich2661]

Beautiful beautiful family home, great find. Boils my blood and deeply saddens my heart rude selfish greedy people making others loose their homes for a road. May I please ask how can that be lawful? Why could the owners just say no we are never selling.

[@anitapresnell6403]

Wow! What a beautiful home! I really enjoyed seeing this. Another gorgeous old property lost to progress. Thanks for the tour Paul.

[@KindKim-kr8cq]

Thanks again Paul loved those double doors in the living room never seen those before. Cheers Paul bye

[@Caro_arch5801]

That breaks my heart thinking that beautiful & obviously loved home is going to become roadway 😢

[@denisewatson5295]

What a beautiful old home 🏡. It's a shame that it is being demolished. So sad 😞 awesome home.

[@cincyzoe]

Oh my! Such beauty lost! I pretty much lost my mind over this house. When the video ended, I threw a blanket over my head and cried…really. It literally was a dream home. Thank you so much for continuing your mission of recording the lost architecture of your home country, then sharing it with the world. ❤️

[@DebbieEvangelou]

Such a beautiful grand old place with loads of character.Really feel for these people that had to leave all there cherished memories behind. You out done yourself with this home Paul totally adored it thankyou for a wonderful tour.

[@JohnShinn1960]

Have a nice day 👍🙂

[@bronwyn6415]

Must have broken their hearts to have to sell and move from this lovingly cared for home.

[@buttergirl1996]

That’s a really nice house. It’s too bad it has to be destroyed. This is probably my favorite home you’ve toured. You can tell it was meticulously taken care of.

[@ArletaSpangler]

What a beautiful home 😢😢

[@annehardy4329]

Such a beautiful home and I'm sure a lot of money spent to bring it up to scratch. I real feel for the owners and hope the found another home just as beautiful.

[@tinasteer2507]

Was there only two bedrooms? This house has everything you could desire. The house, garden,sheds, workshop out the back. This has to be of the most beautiful property’s you have recorded. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a builder in this family. The realestate photos said it all. ❤

[@vickimorrow1674]

What a lovely home with a tasteful renovation. I always enjoy the real Estate photos

[@carlashepherd9362]

[@donnamata614]

You can actually feel the love in this wonderful home .. 😢

[@beachbum433]

Another well presented documentary, Paul!!👍 I'm not going to get political, here. Politics & politicians bore me witless👎. But the dreams & aspirations of the family who owned this magnificent place... gone with the stroke of a pen. It angers me to think that a bit more than 30 years ago, Adelaide had a north-south corridor of land set aside specifically for future freeway developments (the MATS Plan). However, the short-sighted, cash strapped Government at that time sold the lot off for quick financial gain...🤬🤬🤬

[@desertrose8360]

This home is gorgeous, it's a shame it will be destroyed soon. Thanks for sharing Paul.

[@noragalaviz8816]

Thank you for saying his name I've been trying to learn his name for one year

Omg paul, sad to see such a gorgeous home to be demolished .the real estate pic were beautiful. Great to still see they kept to the real features in the decor. Thanks again for another great video. Cheers deb

A beautiful home!! The slate and brick alone are amazing!! Sad.......

[@debhunt6224]

So nice, what a shame 😢

[@kenanger6877]

It was very obvious that this home was loved by its owners. The floors are just flawless. So sad that this house was destroyed. This would be a dream home in Northern California USA.

[@minimad8432]

How damn nice was this house... enough modern touches and to keep it still looking from the time period... I'm glad you were able to get in there and show us all. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, MM :)

[@Pocket-Watch]

What a stunning place. Thanks for this explore. This was thier dream home, for the money they will never get a house and garages like that with granny flat for the money the government would of paid them, such a shame

[@urbexindigo5164]

Very true pocketwatch. Would of been hard to hand it over. Cheers for watching 👍😁

[@JohnShinn1960]

I was gonna say what justifies such small kitchen counter workspace in this sprawling beauty but then I see an island at 21:24. You know they're sucessfull when the garage has a lift. Another one bites the dust and thanks for the tour Paul! Stayin tuned! 👍🤠

[@almaberthelson6139]

Dang! Think I'm gonna be sick! The 1st house was adorable an i have to have the purple tulip stain glass! ❤

[@ngaerethomson9010]

A sad ending for such a beautiful beloved property :(

[@agiles6483]

What a phenomenal home. I was very impressed to see how much of the original 1920’s look the owners kept. The kitchen had an unusual configuration , but the real estate photos helped me to better envision it. It is very sad that it must be knocked down. I wonder if the doors, windows (I loved them) and/or 100 year old floor boards were salvaged?

[@mdelannoy3495]

Whoa great la vidéo 👍👍👍❤❤❤❤😺😺😺😺👋👋👋👋

[@merrilday5344]

That was a very loved home. I am sure the owners would have been very upset to move.

Heart breaking to see such a beautiful home that must have been full of love going to be ripped apart , this one was one of my favourites, people who lived here must have been devastated to have to leave that behind , thanks for documenting these wonderful places Paul xxx

[@PatriciaOmeara-sn7nb]

Shame seeing these lovely old homes go as its history gone great video enjoyed it thank you ❤

[@pj1043]

Why demolish these beautiful old houses when they are putting an underground tunnel through. South Australia & developers seem on hell bent in destroying beautiful old homes that the next generations can enjoy😢. In Perth when they sunk the train lines & installing the electrification for the electric trains to the northern & eastern suburbs they put in underground tunnels & they didn’t demolish any of the buildings especially people who lived in beautiful century old suburban homes that live closer to the city & it was very successful. Thank you Paul for sharing, love you house exploring videos.

[@kenem1946]

All my thoughts have been written by others before I had the chance to view this. A brilliant tasteful renovation and addition to the original home. And Paul, you know I'd 'kill' for those sheds for my classic cars! Thanks again , Ken

[@patrick-gcote]

Wow men ouff so nice place to live ❤💯

[@Pruzie83]

One absolutely gorgeous and well loved home😢 Its just soo sad when you can see how much effort and time has been put in to preserve and create such a dream home. If this was my home and i stumbled across this video, id be pretty impressed! Keep up the great work, cheers👍

[@Inverted.surfer]

The moving finger writes, and having writ... moves on... Now thats interesting. 1925, pre wall st crash... Does the name Charleston represent a celebration of the good times roaring twenties boom... Or did the owner come from Charleston in the Adelaide Hills???🤔 Anyway, this wouldve been 100 yrs old next year !!! A Bradman shortfall. (99.4 Av) This is just a perfect gem with so many original fittings etc. Just beautiful... But why would they put the wooden kitchen bench upside down on the ceiling???🤔😁😂

[@urbexindigo5164]

I too wondered about the Charleston name. Cheers :-)

[@heatherluka2365]

What a beautiful home! I’m shocked they aren’t saving anything especially all the beautiful details. I love the privacy and the tall fences my goodness this house is beautiful all the stained glass windows even on the doors! Why not move the house? I’m shocked all these beautiful houses being torn down. I guess I’m old fashioned. I miss the attention to detail in every house back then and it wasn’t just for the wealthy everyone could have nice stuff . Everyday my depression is getting worse and worse and I don’t even recognize myself anymore I broke down crying today I don’t like this me at all. Thank you for your videos urbex indigo I can see the world through your eyes even just for 24:29 it helps me. Hope your having a good day and anyone readying this keep up the good work on your videos! Great explanations your doing!

[@ckendall9955]

Do people ever move houses to new locations in Australia? It happens in the United States. I don’t know how often, but I’ve seen people do it. I think if I had the money I would have bought land and moved this house. It’s a pretty house and well loved.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Easily done with timber homes but not brick homes. My grandfather and uncles used to move homes and buildings but they were all timber. Its done in rural areas more but one home in the lot of these ones lost to the tunnel was moved but when you see how it was designed I think they knew and designed it like a large shipping container in which it could pretty much be picked up and put on the back of a truck 👍😊

[@mavahuth5044]

Very nice house.

[@customscreenprinting]

Urbex Indigo thanks for sharing this video with me i really enjoyed it it is a shame they had to take this home away for a tunnel project . i am from the U.S.A and i gave you a thumbs up and shared you out on my community tab my friend and Gopd Bless.

[@wernersadventures8330]

Dam this was one I missed but I remember this one too many cameras were there😪 Wow mate beautiful inside the lead light was amazing and the pear lights too, they still left those rugs there. Glad you got a chance to see this one mate before she was taken. Those fire place also beautiful cheers my friend.

Such a nice place

[@andrewphillips9123]

What a shame thats a really well looked after home. Thats sad. I quite like that place.

[@WendyBrownsea]

Close to where I live Glandore lovely homes

[@shez5964]

I hope they weren't underpaid it's worth as you suggested might have happened. Money doesn't compensate everything though. More light hearted I wonder who else remembers the 1976 psychic prediction of a tidal wave that was supposed to destroy Adelaide. Some people truly believed and sold their homes for a song. Most made fun of it and did things like walk down main streets with their surfboard under arm on the day it never occured.

[@FeatheredLife]

A dream home that anyone would want. Only to be torn down to put in a tunnel sad super sad....😭😭😭😭😭

[@theresafitzgerald15]

Such a shame, what a beautiful home.

[@TheLightbright01]

So many homes with character gone

[@chatnoir7923]

❤❤❤

[@ivyseal5161]

what an absolute shame a beautiful 1920s bungalow home being knocked down just so a tunnel can be built the real estate photos lovely to see how the home really looked the granny flat looked fantastic but if the goverment want to build a tunnel then let them build one and I hope that the people who lived in the Charlton have another home to cherish and make more memories 99 years old it should be on the heritage list its a shame to see this beautiful bungalow gone

[@Munchkin71]

Big house but only 2brn,strange.No wonder they built the granny flat.Beautiful house though,such a bloody shame

[@patriciasamalens9840]

Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Je trouvais que la rosace du plafond faisait "Art Nouveau", celle qui ce trouve dans le couloir à 10:32 l'est de manière certaine. 18:35 je pense que ce que vous avez identifié comme le salon, serait plus pour moi une chambre, les rideaux sont trop épais et non transparent (voilage), le meuble télé ne gène pas à cet endroit puisqu'il est visible depuis le coin cuisine. Cet espace est bizarrement aménagé. C'est une bien belle maison, merci pour la visite.

[@PamelaKratzer-wn7yq]

Is the ceiling tin? Do they recycle it for use somewhere else? I really enjoy your videos! There is so much to learn from others.

[@mikehardin1629]

What is happening is called Eminent domain here in the US (also known as land acquisition, compulsory purchase) it is the power to take private property for public use. On the one hand it sucks but on the other it if used properly is for the greater good of the citizens. It happened to me two years ago, the state took 15 meters by 400 meters of my 12 acre property along a small two lane road to widen it to make a 4 lane road because of the increase in traffic. When I bought my 12 acres 25 years ago it was in the rural country outside of a large city. Eventually the city swallowed and encircled my land making me the largest land owner in the area. They took part of my land to widen the road and increased my property taxes by 600%. My taxes went from $650 a year to $20,000 a year and I could no longer afford to own it. The city taxed me out of my land which forced me to sell it last year, but the state paid me twice the amount for the land they took thru eminent domain, so there is that.

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Mike 🙂 wow that sounds bitter sweet for you mate, and I guess you'd rather be there still without the taxes and encroaching urban sprawl. Yep it's call compulsory acquisition here in Australia too. Thanks for sharing your experience and for watching 👍😁

[@wizsupercoach]

Wheres Lawrence Hammill and Dennis Denuto when you need them!

[@stephaniemcquillan1930]

I can’t believe compulsory acquisition is a thing. The poor family that were forced out of here and from the other homes you have documented. So so sad.

[@cgp1442]

I just dont understand why they don't sell the homes for $1. with the stipulation that the homes be relocated to a different property/land. It makes me physically ill to see these beautiful homes destroyed.

[@LeandaBowden]

Ohmygosh why do all these beautiful homes have to be destroyed? Why can't thay remove them to other suburbs Just so sad breaks my heart I am sitting here crying so upsetting

[@sonofdat]

That place is or was a beauty! Such a shame. If there is any conciliation, I've been doing paving in recent times and red bricks cost $2 each or $80sqm. So someone will make some cash and the bricks will live on. Sadly on the ground as pavers and not as beautiful house like this one.

[@wildthing3241]

Salvage in the roof? Don't you mean copper thieves?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Yeah probably :-)

[@darynwilson8330]

What a shame all that beautiful history that's just going to be destroyed and the families memories.

[@markkilley2683]

Okay, but where do the occupants go during a housing crisis?

[@urbexindigo5164]

Hi Mark. The government buys their home by compulsory acquisition but rarely do they get what the home is valued. They would not be able to buy in this suburb with what they were paid. Cheers for watching 🙂👍

[@richardwolski5899]

The government strikes again.😊...

[@CherylLaity]

You may own your house but never will own the land that it sits on 😪

[@pbs4535]

I see no true purpose tearing down these homes pretty soon everyone will be living in their cars.

[@Aprilsraven629]

What a waste, all those floor boards, architraves, lights, claw foot bath, mantle & fire place - so many things that should be reperposed and probable end up in a garbage tip...I saw homes like these some belonging to friends stolen by the government for the ugliest building, shops and a service station...progress no not even close
