Stylish 2 story 50`s home with 60`s granny flat/Pool/Tennis court and neighboring late 50`s home!

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 :-)

[@crizzy8373]

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!!

[@minimad8432]

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 :)

[@urbexindigo5164]

Cheers MM 😊👍 yes before long Anzac hwy will be completely transformed! Thanks for watching 👍😁

[@DarrenLock-zj6tq]

[@minimad8432]

@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. 👎

[@cristinhopkins2748]

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!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@urbexindigo5164]

Glad you enjoyed it Christin 👍🙂 Cheers for watching 🙂👍

[@bronwyn6415]

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.

[@urbexindigo5164]

My pleasure Bronwyn 😊👍 thanks for appreciating the older homes and for watching these videos. 😊

[@romaynecarlin1249]

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.

[@TheDynotuner]

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

I love the first home so beautiful now who would not love that house

[@michellegridley3563]

I absolutely love your opening song and keep showing us those beautiful old homes.

[@shez5964]

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.

[@paul7TM]

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.

Wow! How beautiful & sad at the same time. I hate seeing homes set empty & left to rot! Another wonderful video mate! ❤️😘👍🤘

[@sandrahealey6385]

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 🙂

[@JohnShinn1960]

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 😉) 😴👍

[@susancrawley1985]

I love these homes, but it hurts my heart. They are works of art!

[@meganpaull6140]

🌟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’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 💕

[@urbexindigo5164]

Great ideas there Kathy, well said 😊👍

[@LOVEisBLUE-k9j]

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! 😄

[@anitapresnell6403]

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! 😊

[@johntilson2535]

People that put mirrored finishes up like that back in the day would probably be 'selfie' freaks today!

[@mostlypeacefulcerealkiller2145]

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.

[@AnnasBurningCuriosity]

Great adventure! You never know what sight lies around the next corner.

[@paulademarco1585]

Items left behind, ❤ tells part of the story, but there may have been different owners over the years,

[@silverbullet2286]

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

[@DebbieBuck-v1h]

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

[@urbexindigo5164]

More stove envy,, couple of nice ones again mate ,,, shame to see what makes Adelaide unique get destroyed for ticky tacky boxes .

[@lavenderfields929]

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.

[@jmm21340]

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.

[@mikehardin1629]

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.

[@HG80369]

Classic National microwave there Paul. Would be around 40 years old. The first house should have been heritage-listed. Beautiful.

[@carrieashley6465]

[@roxannlegg750]

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!

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.

[@mavahuth5044]

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.😊

[@cherienafo7676]

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.

[@urbexindigo5164]

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 😒

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.
