Bring this baby back to life

Trends are cyclical, and who are we to declare bold yellow kitchen cabinetry or pastel blue bathroom tiles outdated? If you’ve got a bit of a soft spot for kitsch 1960s styling, this mid-century marvel will set your heart aflutter. There’s the big formal lounge with its original fireplace and mantel, servery through to the kitchen, and amazing carpet (which, actually, probably could use replacing with something equally as interesting). The kitchen with its aforementioned cute cabinets. The second living area with its feature dividing wall and bright orange bar. The built-in furniture, in particular the dresser in the main bedroom. The pretty blue bathroom. The semi-enclosed games room that is perfect for springtime parties (just throw open the doors to the backyard). It’s all a marvellous time capsule that – with a bit of love – can endure for years yet. Add all the macrame planters and colourful rugs and sunburst clocks and bentwood armchairs your heart desires and lean into that era.

Or – if you’re totally set on living in the now – gut the whole house and renovate. Or demolish* (ouch) and subdivide* the huge 982sqm block (it’s zoned R25) and build new. Whether you detonate or revive this beauty, the spacious, leafy, backyard is something to behold and be appreciated. Retain the full block and in some extras such as a trampoline, cubby house, pergola, fire pit, or a handful of lawn flamingos, and you’ll make it totally your own in no time. Or go a step further and create your dream outdoor entertaining area with pool and pavilion where you and yours can make memories for years to come. Someday you’ll look back on this home with nostalgia. But right now it’s where your future awaits.

Location-wise, this is a great spot to embrace classic activities and places while also welcoming new experiences. Outdoor spaces such as Browns Lake Reserve (400m) and RA Cook Reserve (450m) endure for good reason. Getting out in the fresh air with the kids, the dog, good friends, or a sports club is a surefire way to boost those endorphins. The Bedford Bowling Club (950m) and Mount Lawley Golf Club (2.4km) keep casual (but competitive!) pursuits alive. And having a tipple with friends afterwards is a timeless tradition. Good old-fashioned family dinners are always a great experience but with vibrant and innovative eateries such as Our Table (700m) and Cecchi’s (1.7km) nearby, you can enjoy the best of all worlds. The Galleria is your go-to shopping centre and is only 1.6km from home, while the city (6.5km) is easily accessible by train or bus, so you’re sorted for shopping. If you’re raising the next generation you’ll also appreciate the handful of schools within a 1km radius. So don’t wait. Snag this property yesterday.
