POST-WAR CHARACTER HOME
Situated on a flat 405sqm elevated LMR land with a 10m street frontage, in a quiet pocket of Moorooka, this home has been built solidly, with the very best materials and exquisite special features of the era with lead-light windows, plate rails, intact wallpaper, glass light fittings, decorative cornices and a solid wood, feature front-door with it’s original, lead-light picture window. There has been a groovy 70’s kitchen and bathroom update which has been maintained over the years by one family since the house was built sometime in the mid-1950’s.
The garden has been meticulously cared for and loved over the years with sensitive plantings to give a sense of privacy from the front, and a magical archway of star-jasmine down the left side of the house, leading out to a large back lawn, perfect for the kids to kick a football, or for the pets to have space to run around – and the potential location of your future pool!
