Architect designed and built in 1956, the home sits on approximately 1700 m2 with a wide frontage of more than 37 metres, this offering spells ‘opportunity’. Bring the wish list and the design tools and explore several options Renovate and extend on the original block, build large brand new, or possibly treat the allotment as a blank canvas to redevelop (STCC).

Appealing to the lovers of all things of the era, the home presents with split level living spaces, extensive glass and timber, original cabinetry, raked ceilings and a retro kitchen complete with laminex bench tops and breakfast nook. A waft of tuna mornay is almost imaginable. The lounge room features a classic brick fireplace with copper flue Entry to the home is via steps leading to an elevated terrace and the front door. The terrace captures the northern sun and provides views through the foliage towards the coast.
