Dressed in a deep blue to demand as much attention as its award winning front garden on a prized corner block is a home equal parts art deco delight and self-sustainable living in surging West Croydon.
From its boldly coloured and curved façade to the Jarrah floors and intricately decorated ceilings within, the current owners – just the second in more than 80 years -deserve much praise for this beautifully preserved and upgraded salute to a bygone era.
With two nicely sized bedrooms, a central lounge, casual dining/open-plan kitchen, study nook, new bathroom, a terrazzo lined library, alfresco pergola and side road car access…
This is much more than just another 2-bedroom maisonette, mere moments from the cool café culture of Queen Street and the train stops that will send you to the CBD in what feels like seconds.
From full re-wiring from the power lines to the power points, all the way to a complete kitchen and bathroom reboot with funky checkerboard tiling; the planning, persistence and patience in its transformation bodes well for its longevity.
These gardens are something else…
With the green principles of permaculture in mind, the Black Mission fig, Satsuma plum, Elberta peach, Packham Pear, freshly laid egg, herb, shade-bearing wisteria, and award winning food garden each play a purposeful role in a carefully curated tapestry of self-sustainability.
And, much like your new home, it's a wonderful thing.
