  • Hey house lovers and explorers! This video I explore a grand old 1937 built old English/Tudor style home that is was no longer wanted and sat vacant. The start of a salvage process had begun on the property but all was still in tact apart from the kitchen which we can see clearly in the real estate pics along with how it was when lived in. 2 levels and a huge back yard with an in ground pool made this home a very prominent and recognizable one along this strip which I was familiar with. Cheers to Helen who tipped me off it was fenced off. So join me and take a look around this place! Hope you all enjoy, cheers for watching :-)

    It was once a gorgeous and loved home. I could imagine queen ann furniture in the main bedroom to match the wardrobe.
    Loved the candlelights on the mirrors in the bathroom, luxurious in its time.

    It looks like it would have been a remarkable grand manor for it's time Paul - heart breaking to know how it was treated in it's last days. So sad - at least the birds are singing amongst the rubble . I imagine with the size of that block it is destined for town houses / units. It's lovely you were familiar with this home on your path and spent time capturing it's last days on film and wondering how something so grand fell into ruin - Thank you for sharing as always 🥰

    Another abandoned house and another great find with a house
    about to be demolished and it is up in a neighborhood area,
    a nice two story house with a grand look about it but was
    neglected and left like this in disrepair and it had a lot of rooms
    in it for a big family i assume, glad that you had a chance to
    see it and show it to us before they tore it down another great
    video and another great house to explore Thank You Paul.🤠👍

    Hi Paul
    WOW! Those real estate photos were great. They really showed how beautiful
    this house was once upon a time. That extension was cool and I love the big
    windows. As of lately I really like the Tudor style house.
    And that pool was so beautiful. It’s really a shame that it has come to the point
    where it is so damaged from sitting all those years it wouldn’t be worth
    renovating. Another lovely home goes into the history books and you Paul
    have documented it so it can live on forever in your archives.
    The whole house was pretty wonderful but my favorite part was the outdoor
    catio. These people who lived here must have loved their cats to have a nice
    enclosure built for them. That was great. Well Paul you have done it again.
    You’ve shared with us another beauty and I thank you. Keep yourself safe
    and well. Oh by the way I saw what you look like in one of the mirrors in the
    house. Not bad. You should really show yourself to us for real. Now you can
    see what I look like too. Just click the pic on the top left to see me. Just so
    you have a face to go with the name. See you soon!😊🏘️

    What a shame to see that go. Definitely had some sort of major remodel I would say in the mid-1960s based off the carpet, the center door knob on the front door, and the flooring in that large addition.

    What an eclectic puzzle you found. The entry is begging for wall paper with all that lovely wood trim. It would take a clever designer to figure out what the house wants to be and how to make use of the awkward lay out. The bathrooms were jammed into some odd spaces. A lot of walls were moved/removed to make space for bathrooms and closets. The upstairs bath had a window's side cut off by a wall. What a glorious catio though! Can you imagine kids playing jump over the lava in that glassed in room with black pavers grouted in with flaming red stuff? I wish someone could figure out and do drawings of what the original house looked like. (Of course, someone's brilliant idea to take this interesting story of a house and turn it into a botanical nightmare does not help.)

    Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
    12:40 à l'origine cela devait être une grande salle à manger avec peut être un salon. Le mur de séparation en moins c'est une certitude (plus de luminosité pour une seule pièce) que ce qu'il y a dans la première. Cette pièce est près de la cuisine, ce qui fonctionne avec un château fonctionne avec toutes les maisons.
    La rampe d'escalier est superbe.
    18:52 très certainement un bureau, la pièce est calme malgré la porte vitré ouverte sur l'extérieur, et un accès direct fourni par l'escalier en colimaçon ( 26:20 environ c'est bien un escalier en colimaçon) savoir s'il est d'origine.
    C'était une très très belle maison dommage qu'elle soit démolie

    thank you for your dedication to document and bring us this valuable content. So sad to see these beautiful architectural snapshots of our past turned into ruin..makes me emotional in a way i can't really explain nor understand. I find myself imagining all the lives that had been lived in every humble little house and it makes my heart heavy. I've mentioned before that my parents own a 1920's cottage very similar to some of the houses you've covered - every time i see my parents i'm fighting for my life to save up the money to help pay off the mortgage before it's too late and falls into the hands of someone who will tear it down and not appreciate it
