One of the select few weatherboard homes in a charming pocket of Mitcham has the distinction of a one-owner history spanning 68 years. Which means this is a rare chance to claim this beautiful north facing near level alotment in the school zone for Rangeview Primary and Vermont Secondary College (STSA).
The home was built in 1957 on solid concrete stumps and holds precious memories for its long-standing family. Like Clydesdale horses clicking down the unmade road to deliver milk in the morning. Noisy Christmas lunches with the extended family, the kids playing on the back lawn and around the Hills Hoist clothesline.
Painted white with romantic window shutters, the façade hasn’t lost its appeal, especially with such a wide, open frontage of 17m.
The perfumed roses in the front garden enhance the entrance, with varieties like Blue Moon, harking back to the suburb’s origins as the rose and herb farm ‘Mitcham Grove’.
The ‘50s design showcases picture windows, frosted glass light pendants and a pink bathroom with a pedestal basin. There’s a built in bar worthy of ‘Mad Men’ cocktail hour, a retro kitchen with a breakfast bar and serving window, and a huge rumpus entertaining room with a study/hobby room which was added in the 70s.
With 23 parks in Mitcham, this green wedge in the east promises plenty of outdoor adventure, plus all the convenience of Eastland and Eastlink, from the vintage gem at number 10 that is sure to steal your heart.
