Offered for the first time in over 60 years, this much-loved one-owner home is a true celebration of 1960s craftsmanship, space and enduring design. Beautifully maintained and rich in original detail, it presents a rare opportunity to secure a solid classic with exciting future potential. Set on an impressive 774sqm elevated block with excellent street frontage, the property offers R20/25 zoning and the rare advantage of two separate driveways-making it an appealing proposition for developers, investors, or those seeking long-term flexibility. The elevated position further enhances outlook and usability, while the dual access provides practical options for future use (STCA).

Inside, the home immediately impresses with its sense of scale. High ceilings, ornate decorative cornices, wide hallways, and generous room proportions reflect the quality and craftsmanship of the era. The master bedroom is positioned at the front of the home, opposite the lounge and living room, which also enjoys a front-facing aspect. The living area opens onto a long terrazzo-tiled front verandah that runs the full length of the home, providing excellent natural light and a strong connection to the elevated street outlook. Bedrooms two and three are well proportioned and located just down the hallway, enjoying easy access to the centrally positioned bathroom. The bathroom remains in original condition and has been well maintained, offering immediate comfort with scope to modernise if desired. The kitchen is a true gem, showcasing striking colourful terrazzo tiling and original timber cabinetry that perfectly captures the home's 1960s character.
