AUCTION Sat 29th July 11am, Onsite. Open from 10:30am.

It was only just over 10 years after WW2 that this home was last on the market. At that time, this 1910 Bungalow was chosen by our Vendors to be their family home as they were seeking a home that was set between the golden sands of Glenelg and the CBD.

They were seeking a solid home that would stand the test of time, that was also close to excellent schools, with buses nearby and shopping a short stroll away.

All that made this home so attractive to this family mid last century, are exactly what modern families are seeking for their families all these years later!

This character home holds timeless appeal but has seen better days.

Appearing in exceptional structural order for age and boasting a recently replaced roof, this home appears to have very good 'bones'; many more years still left in her. But, she needs love, care and attention to be brought back to and beyond her former glory.

The characterful features and enduring style will entice renovators seeking a challenge.

Remarkably this home has not been painted during our owner's tenure with the exception of the kitchen that received a lick about 40 years ago. The home presents as a wonderful example of post war Australiana and offers a real insight into how Aussies used to live and to the extent we take luxuries, like hot water, for granted these days.

Scope to renovate, refurbish or redevelop this bungalow boasts cedar woodwork and jarrah floors and retains many of the original elements that make this style so endearing.

We acknowledge though that the value of the land in this tightly held area is now such that developers may well consider this 740m2 slice of suburbia as an attractive project. It will be sad to see it go but such are the ever changing streetscapes of these valuable western suburbs that it is to be expected.

Many years ago access was afforded by a long since perished staircase to a loft that was used as a dance hall by the previous owner so affording more space to liberate for the creative mind to utilise.

Well loved for many years, the time has come to pass on the baton and so opens the next chapter in the storied life of this long standing residence.

It's with a heavy heart it is being sold; but with great pride that I represent the offering and look forward to seeing what you think of it!
