Stepping inside is like stepping back in time - a pure expression of 1970s design, untouched by passing trends and now an exciting project for those ready to reimagine. Originally built in the 50s and extended in the late 60s.

This home isn't just original; it's an unfiltered relic of its era, where bold wallpapers, timber floors, and an unapologetic embrace of retro styling remain intact. Lived in and well-loved for over five decades, it now waits for a new vision to take it forward, and what comes next is entirely up to you.

Set on 1,103sqm of land, this is a project in waiting, a home that carries both the weight of time and the marks of a life well-lived. Maintenance has taken a back seat, and while some areas need prompt attention, the home remains a compelling restoration - whether preserved in tribute to its era or entirely transformed.

Currently configured as three bedrooms plus a study, the layout is practical and adaptable. A single tandem garage provides secure parking, while the expansive section - over a quarter acre - recalls a time when backyards were defined by space and possibility, not square metres.

Zoned for Burnside High School and moments from Avonhead Mall and Merrin School, this is a home for visionaries - those who see not just what is but what could be. As the demands of the property grow, the vendor has made the considered decision to downsize, entrusting its next chapter to new hands.
