Overview

A Home with a Past, a Story to Tell, and a Future to Create

Step into the pages of Australian history with this truly unique property — the former residence of Rev. Ron Griggs and his wife Ethel, whose tragic story shocked the nation in the summer of 1928. When Ethel Griggs died suddenly in the country town of Omeo, rumours about her husband’s blatant affair with lovely twenty year old Lottie Condon, were rife. So rife that despite a doctor's certificate suggesting natural causes, police ordered Ethel’s body to be exhumed and the young mother of eleven-month-old baby Alwyn was found to have died from arsenic poisoning. Her husband was charged with her cruel and heartless murder. Immortalised in the novel Lottie by Reg Egan, this home was once the centrepiece of a scandal that captivated Victoria and beyond. Today, 110 Day Avenue offers not just a fascinating past but a compelling opportunity to create an extraordinary future. Set on a generous 2073m² (approx.) block with rear access and subdivision potential (STCA), this charming late-19th century residence is brimming with character. A wide central hallway welcomes you into the home, which features: • 3 spacious bedrooms • A cosy open-plan kitchen and dining area • A large living room with original open wood fire • Timber-lined ceilings and period detailing throughout • Multiple open fireplaces offering warmth and charm • Older-style carport and generous shedding for storage or workspace Positioned proudly at the front of the block, this home offers the ideal canvas for renovation or restoration, blending historic ambience with the potential for modern living or investment development. Whether you're a lover of local lore, a history buff, a developer seeking potential, or simply someone who appreciates the romance and legacy of heritage homes, 110 Day Avenue is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Write the next chapter of this remarkable home's story.
