If these walls could talk, we’re sure this solid brick home on approximately 955sqm would have some fabulous tales to tell. And while those glory days may have passed, there’s no denying the magic still lingers. With the right vision, it could be phenomenal once more, or alternatively, an impressive site for redevelopment (STCA).

Proudly presiding over the bowl of a court and entered through striking gold doors, this is a home that instantly feels like the setting for decades of family enjoyment.

Completely unique in design and decor, its originality bursts with personality. Whether it’s the lounge with open fireplace and sweeping neighbourhood vistas, the dining area wrapped in stained glass and smoky mirror, the retro kitchen with meals space, or the sensational billiards room complete with a wet bar and fixed seating… you just know this is where the big get-togethers happened.

And then there’s the backyard. The pool and barbeque area, while not currently in commission, would have been the summer hub, with multiple doors opening out to it making it clear this was the heart of the fun.

Designed with two wings, accommodation comprises two children’s bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, plus a study or optional fourth bedroom. A family bathroom, powder room and laundry complete the main floor’s footprint.

A spiral staircase leads down to the subfloor, where the home reveals even more to love, including a huge multipurpose room, sauna, bathroom and double-door garage.

With loads of storage, several water tanks, a driveway parking area, plus vintage wallpaper and fittings throughout to enhance its character, this is a true one-of-a-kind offering and an intriguing proposition for buyers who appreciate something a little different.

As for the location, it is undeniably outstanding. From here, you can walk to bus stops, Ruffey Lake Park, Schramms Reserve Playground and Athletics Field, Westfield Doncaster and Aquarena Aquatic and Leisure Centre, while the Eastern Freeway and zoned Doncaster Primary School and Doncaster Secondary College are just a few minutes’ drive away.
