The homeowners purchased 35 Pridham Street in February 1997, after spending months searching for the right place to call home. At the time, they were living nearby and were drawn to the opportunity to secure a property in a location they already knew and valued. After six months of considering the home, they made the decision to move forward - a decision that has now spanned nearly three decades.
From the beginning, the home offered a comfortable and practical place to live, and that feeling has remained consistent over time. Across the years, the home has been a constant. Whether it was quiet time spent at home, enjoying the surrounding space, or having friends and family over, it has always been a place that felt easy. The owners often found themselves drawn to the sunroom, particularly in winter, where natural light fills the space and creates a warm and inviting environment.
What has stood out most to the homeowners is how that original feeling has never changed. From the moment they first walked through the home to today, it has remained a place that feels comfortable, practical and easy to enjoy.
THE HOME
The home has been thoughtfully updated and expanded over time to create a layout that offers flexibility and multiple living zones. Early improvements focused on opening the internal spaces, with walls removed to improve flow and make the main living area more usable for everyday living.
A significant extension completed in 2009 further enhanced the home, adding two additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite, a second kitchen and lounge room with direct access to the backyard. This created a more versatile floorplan, suited to larger families, multi-generational living or those needing extra space. The kitchen was also repositioned within the home to improve its connection to the living areas and provide easier access to the outdoors.
Natural light has been carefully considered throughout, with north-facing windows added across the extension, sunroom and main living spaces. This allows sunlight to move through the home during the day, particularly in winter, enhancing comfort and liveability.
Additional improvements include the construction of a large pergola spanning the rear of the home, creating a covered outdoor area for entertaining, as well as a carport with an enclosed front and roller door for secure parking.
